Another introduction for today is the music of Carly Ann Taylor. Carly is a young singer songwriter from Southern California with a bright and happy, soulful sound. She released her debut EP “Changing My Story” earlier this year and is gearing up to release her brand new single “Why Should I Worry” on November 15th. Pre-Save the single here. Her EP is really well done for an independent singer-songwriter and it being a “debut”. I encourage you to give her music a listen and pre-save that new single.… Continued →

It’s time for a new band introduction and today I bring you “Lo Cloud”. Lo Cloud is a new indie band featuring Matt Hammitt formerly of Sanctus Real. The band have dropped their debut single “Sleepwalker” and it is available now! They have a great sound with vocals that soar. Imagine Jimmy Eat World meets Anberlin meets Thirty Seconds to Mars meets Plankeye and Switchfoot. It’s a unique sound with somewhat of a 90’s rock undercurrent mixed in with all the modern sounds. It’s really good stuff and I think a bunch of our readers will appreciate the sound of Lo Cloud.… Continued →

Pennylane are back from the dead and releasing a brand new recorded song titled “Thank You” in honor of the 20th anniversary of their critically acclaimed indie release, “From Paradise To Parking Lots” which originally came out on Indie Vision Music back in 2004 and has recently been re-released by the band themselves. They have a very short clip on their instagram page of the new song but I am sure more teases will drop in the coming weeks leading up to release. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to this Hawaii based band the first go around, now will be your perfect opportunity to get into Pennylane.… Continued →

Texas based Pop-Punk/Easycore band – Brave Days, are back with a brand new song titled “Tulip” and it’s the best thing they’ve ever done.

You can also listen below, right here at IVM.… Continued →

Seth Davey, a former member of the late great post-hardcore/indie band, Attalus, has returned with another collection of songs under his name, this one titled “Hymns in Hindsight”.

Consider supporting this Kickstarter and you’ll be blessed with not only some amazing and beautiful music I might add but also see some of your money go to a great cause and help people in that part of the country who desperately need our help.… Continued →

Today’s Song of the Day post is a little bittersweet. It’s a great song but comes with unfortunate ties to a region so devastated by Hurricane Helene. The song is titled “Appalachia” and is about life living in that region of the country around the beautiful Appalachian mountains and the many towns along that path. This rings oh so true… “And for those of us who daily struggle…daily struggle with the past. The best medicine is the gospel and a whiskey glass”. I figured the song, the band, and this post were relevant due to the many struggles of the residents right now, particularly in North Carolina and Tennessee especially.… Continued →
