THE WHO: JJ Wilde THE WHAT: With a backbone of alt-rock rawness, singer-songwriter JJ Wilde brings the fierce combination of youth and young womanhood unabashedly front and center: see her debut EP, Wilde Eyes, Steady Hands for further and its standout single, “The Rush.” In the listening, the song’s title is as self-evident and actualizing as they come. According to […]

THE WHO: KidEyes (Los Angeles, CA) THE WHAT: Sometimes a band makes a music video that turns out to be a quintessential encapsulation of their song’s overt or underlying spirit.

Her new video, “Too Late,” directed by Aisha Tyler (yes, that […]

THE WHO: flor (Los Angeles, CA) THE WHAT: What do we like about flor?
