Another twofer here on the Big Med Playlist for The Big One as we add Tony Mecca’s ‘Mercy Street’ and ‘Morning Coffee’. Mercy Street has Philadelphia-based Mecca sounding a bit like Peter Gabriel and Tom Waits while Morning Coffee is a daytime version of George Thorogood. Such is the range and authenticity of Tony...
Here’s a double slice of indie rock, hip-hop, electronic pop music to get you moving on a Saturday night. NYC-based We Stole The Kids’ ‘All In My Head’ and ‘I’m Alive’ are the latest adds to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. These kids have their groove on and it’s infectious. WTSK...
Field Tripp’s ‘Conversation Flammable’ is one trippy alternative pop add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. I’m old so I want to say this tune conjures up memories of The Talking Heads and REM on a power dating circuit with Modest Mouse and Weezer.. but hey, that’s just me. Based in...
We’re going to head into the weekend with a blast of original made-in-Canada hard-as-rock music by Calgary band Brocade. The tune is ‘Riot Riot’ and it smacks of a bluesy ballsy Northern version of AC/DC. Definitely suitable for transitioning from the day-to-day weekday crapola into the chaotic insanity that comes with life in an...
This add to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One is unique. There’s something pretty darned cool about a band that inserts actual wind sounds in an ode to Chicago. JIP’s ‘Our City by the Lake’ is a love song for a city and the life and times that go with it. JIP...
This tune rocks! Adding ‘Passenger’ by San Antonio TX-based The Sound of Curves to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. If ever I finally get booked on that ride-on with Rick & France, this song needs to be on the box during a hot response covering lots of territory in short order....
Helluva day here at Big Med. Brick Fields in the morning and Moonlight Social in the afternoon. Amazing musicians all around. I’m adding the rock-country end-of-relationship-chronicled guitar-backed harmonies of Moonlight Social’s ‘Neither Are You’ to the Big Med Playlist for The Big One. Every song I’ve heard by Moonlight Social is worthy of addition...
Dirty Names are out of Annapolis, Maryland. They play no-shit balls-to-the-wall straight-ahead rockin’ roll. Some of the buzz generated by this band includes refs to The Stones but I’d say it’s been a long, long time since The Stones played as hard as these guys do. Somehow these young’uns were born...
Brooklyn NY | It’s Friday and we’re going with shameless synth horns & plenty of pop hooks with the add of Sean Cooney’s Deja Vu to the Big Med Playlist for the Big One. Sof and Em both gave it a big thumbs-up and I confess that the damned song is now firmly stuck...
Duncan BC | Henry Locke has been playing guitar since he was six years old. His first attempt at songwriting came at the age of nine when he reworked the lyrics of Anne Murray’s ‘Snow Bird.’ Since then Henry has played with various bands, including: Split Second, UROK2, Foul Play, The Workin’ Stiffs, Third...
