Gangstagrass Makes MAGNET A Mix Tape

Be sure to head over to Magnet and dabble in the mix tape Gangstagrass frontman, Rench put together! This playlist includes a diverse grouping of artists, including Mos Def, Hank Williams, and Portishead.

Despite living in a world where new genres of music are being invented seemingly every day, Brooklyn-based project Gangstagrass still managed to come out of left field. The band takes opposite ends of the musical spectrum, hip hop and bluegrass, and combines them to create something that is, against all odds, completely new and insanely ear-friendly. You can hear it for yourself when the cleverly titled Rappalachia comes out June 5. The mix tape band founder Rench made for us below is made up of a very diverse collection of artists. We can’t say we’re surprised.

#MusicMonday the holiday edition. Hope everyone has thanked their fellow service men and woman, past and present, for the freedom that we all share today!

Today we have Anabot’s Japandroids cover and Fallon Cush’s sweet summer tune up for grabs!

Anabot puts her spin on the ever-popular Japandroids song, “The House That Heaven Built.” Analise Nelson may have trimmed some of the loud factor, but her sultry jazz vocals maintain the spirit and passion of the Japandroids. There is no mimicking here, Anabot definitely added her own flavor and fashioned an incredible cover. Find “The House That Heaven Built” Here!

Fallon Cush’s new single “Foever After” is best summed up by frontman Steve Smith who explains “Individually we’re nowhere near as good as when we’re together.” The song pours through metaphors in an effort to explain how you could be better with the influence of another. “Forever After” has a bit of a leisure pace that is perfect for your summer fling.

Everyone carries baggage with them or has a skeleton in their closet, but the people that can rise up above life’s trying times and move forward are the ones that can begin to heal. Jenee Halstead, who experienced abuse as a child has begun the healing process by recording this song. “I had a realization or epiphany one day that came over me like a peaceful wave that only lasted a second,” Halstead said. ”There was a warm thought that said to me that no one could ever hurt me that way I had been hurt in the past and that anything I experience as an adult was my choice and ultimately I was not a victim.
