Hey, I’m hoping you’ll review my bands music! In Life is a collaboration between Oakland musicians Omar Martin and local hardcore icon Nick Noro. We just released an EP, which you can find at the Spotify link below or at inlife.bandcamp.com
Our sounds blends elements of punk, shoegaze, and trap, for an energetic and schizo sound inspired by life in Oakland.
My name is Bobby and I manage the band Skunk Funk out of American Canyon, CA. We are 4 piece Ska Punk Funk group with reggae/hip hop tendencies. Please check out our latest music video “Cirque Du Skank”, let us know any feedback:
James Coates sings about the two things he knows best: falling down and getting back up. His latest album, One Last Ride, offers ten new songs that were recorded painstakingly over five years.
The result is a deeply-personal look into the life of an artist who believes in the power of truth in music. The autobiographical lyrics are complemented by a sonic tapestry of country, folk, Americana and soul.
The instrumentation is lush, dressing the songs in the likes of reverb-soaked pedal steel, stabbing horn sections, gospel choirs and even a chamber orchestra on opening track “The American.”
But above it all sits the voice of the storyteller. Producers ditched the autotune relied on by so many modern artists to instead create an artifact of humanistic beauty: one songwriter and his stories, the way he wants them told.
Coates has toured nationally, opened for major-label acts like Sheryl Crow and received airplay on KEXP. One Last Ride is available everywhere October 16th.

Hello, my name is Esteban I go by “Ambizious” (Ambitious) I am a Bay Area Rap Artist from San Leandro Ca and being we are both from the Bay Area and are into music I think we share some interests and similar passions that I think will work well together. I have this new song I haven’t released yet (drops Nov 7th) that I am sure you will enjoy. My music is influenced acts like Lil Wayne, Lil Durk & NBA Youngboy. “No Way” is a hard hitting track about chasing and achieving our goals and never looking back. It’s complimented by a new school beat that’s easy on the ears. Here is the link if you have the chance to give it a listen, I thank you for your time in reading this. https://youtu.be/gE4NLgxYmME
Hi, my name’s Malachite McEvoy and I’m a singer songwriter native to the Bay Area. My first full length record, Mermaid in the Thames, is coming out on February 22, and I was wondering if I could send you an advanced listening copy for an honest, unbiased review ahead of the record’s release?
My name is Anna Harrell and I am a sixteen-year-old artist from Mill Valley, California. I am reaching out because I released my FIRST SINGLE EVER on Friday and would love it if you could give it a listen and consider reviewing it on your blog. It is a song called ‘Call’ that I wrote individually and had the pleasure of Co-Producing with Jim Greer (foster the people/geographer).
I really appreciate your time and consideration. I am linking my website here so you can learn more about me and my career, but don’t hesitate with any questions, comments or concerns.
I look forward to hearing from you! Have a nice day.
