It's amazing to see how much progress has been made, not only in the world of music but also in terms of tolerance and acceptance of different genres worldwide. Reflecting on their childhood, many can relate to not being allowed to listen to certain types of music, let alone pursue a career in it. Growing up in a Greek household, there were limitations, and pursuing a career in music seemed like a distant dream. In many families, the expectation was to follow a more conventional path, such as becoming a teacher or a doctor. Back then, familial support for artistic endeavors was rare. However, as we step into 2024, things have significantly changed. Parents are now not only supportive but encouraging of their children pursuing their creative dreams. There's a newfound appreciation for the creative arts, and families play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting their children's aspirations. This shift marks a significant change in societal attitudes towards creativity and the arts. At the tender age of 15, Faxohxzrd is making waves in the music industry with the unwavering support of his mother, Janice. Hailing from Vermont, he has already achieved significant milestones in his budding career. Featured on local news channels in Vermont and recognized on platforms like The Punchline Academy and Tunage Showcase, Faxohxzrd has garnered attention for his talent. Despite his young age, he has managed to amass thousands of streams on his records. This young prodigy from Vermont has taken his music beyond state lines, performing in North Carolina, New York, New Hampshire, Texas, and more. With the support of his family, Faxohxzrd, who is not only a rapper but also a producer, recently released his latest project, "Faded". The 12-track project, heavily influenced by New York drill with elements from the Vermont music scene, offers a smooth listening experience. The album not only showcases Faxohzrd's confidence but also his passion for music. As someone once told us, there's a difference between artists who create to connect with their audience and those who create solely for profit. Faxohzrd aims to move his crowd and make them experience his music fully. For example, in "Kobe Bryant," he displays his pen game and wordplay, cleverly referencing the late Kobe Bryant's jersey number, 24. Faxohzrd takes his shot and never misses. "Lobotomy" is a straight pen track where he exhibits some of his best bars, blending boom-bap and drill beats, giving off takeover vibes as he talks about eliminating his competition as if performing a lobotomy. "On Me" is a track dedicated to the ladies. Faxohzrd acknowledges the women in his life, recognizing how they have always supported him and declaring his affection for his dream woman. The song gave me a taste of Mac Miller while listening to it. Although these were our favorites from the project, without giving too much away, you need to check out the entire project for yourself.

Nuke Pasta, the alter ego of musician Adrian Tanner just released a new single, "The New Mutiny". The track is a daring blend of genres that defies conventional pop norms and showcases his boundless creativity. "The New Mutiny" is a masterful fusion of rock, pop, and experimental electronic elements. The track’s foundation is built on heavy synthesizers, aggressive rock drumming, low-tuned metal guitars, and anthemic pop-rock vocals, all recorded in his intimate home studio. This personal touch infuses the song with authenticity and raw energy that sets it apart in today's music landscape. The song’s inspiration is rooted in a deeply personal reaction to the US Supreme Court's ruling allowing states to impose abortion bans. The artist views this decision as a stark overreach by a far-right theocracy infringing on established civil liberties. Through "The New Mutiny", he channels his frustration and calls for freedom from religious imposition on public policy, asserting that true freedom includes the right to live without others' beliefs dictating your life. Nuke Pasta’s talent for lyrical storytelling shines in "The New Mutiny". However, the path to releasing "The New Mutiny" hasn't been without controversy. The single’s artwork, designed to provoke thought on issues of war and rebellion, faced rejection across social media platforms for allegedly violating policy guidelines. Nuke Pasta, inspired by the powerful imagery of Rage Against The Machine’s debut album, defends his art as a conversation starter on critical issues, not an endorsement of violence. Reflecting on his latest release, Nuke Pasta states, “ This song is my feeling of disgust towards anyone who tries to justify stripping basic human rights away. And anyone who condones the murder of thousands of innocent civilians. The sad refrain repeats again . ” With a catalog that continues to grow and evolve, Nuke Pasta promises more groundbreaking releases that will further cement his place in the art-rock scene.

We got to chat with Beldon Haigh's frontman Justin Skelton around the release of their new song "World Got So Dumb". This titular track of Beldon Haigh’s upcoming album, mercilessly pokes fun at the “whales” that are running the show and hones in the hard truth that we, the “plankton” are helpless to their whims. However, Beldon Haigh refuses to be defeated and instead reminds us it’s time to take it back. Who's behind Beldon Haigh?   Justin Skelton is the front man and songwriter. What inspired the creation of your latest single, "World Got So Dumb"?   Initially - Brexit and Trump and all the nonsense that went with both those things, they became the foundation stones for the original idea, but as the world became ever more unhinged, nonsensical, and actually more controlled...the idea just grew arms and legs. It's a bold thing to say, but I believe the world is getting dumber. We might have more technology and more cures and more products and solutions than ever before. But at the same time we seem to grow less and less well equipped to deal with the existential challenges of our time. And sadly, there are too many people who seem to be ok with that. There's a feeling that for many people, so long as they have the products they want, eg the latest fashion, car, face, body, hand held device and can preoccupy themselves with a good Netflix series and can zone out from reality - then it's fine to ignore the bigger challenges of our time. Beldon Haigh is known for its humorous yet politically charged music videos. How do you strike a balance between entertainment and social commentary in your visuals? By using descriptions and images and picture power, rather than standing up lecturing people. Most people hate being told what to do. So it's better to make jokes, tell stories and paint pictures. That way they can find their own meanings and connections to their own lives.   The band has amassed a global following since its inception in 2017. What do you attribute this success to?   Working hard at writing, recording and making great songs and videos.  The YouTube channel contains more than 40 full length music videos, more than 4 albums worth of songs. It has taken years of very dedicated creative passion to produce that much quality content. This is also down to the fantastic band we have in Beldon Haigh and great teams of people we work with. Your live performances and videos feature masks of political figures like Kim Jong Un, Trump, and Putin. What role do these masks play in your stage persona? A huge role, they are enormously entertaining and give the whole performance a surreal feeling - their impact is dramatic and brilliant. How do you think music can be a catalyst for social change in today's world?   You have to believe that social change is possible. The arts have always been huge catalysts for change. In music you can describe concepts which give people a channel for their anger, their frustration, and their need for self expression. You can also create a vision for the future - which can be beautifully idealistic. Sadly music can also be used to teach the wrong messages, the wrong values, and can be used to promote aggression and misogyny. The music industry, as a whole seems to turn a blind eye to a lot of that. So yes, music has enormous power, which is not always put to good use. Making money and doing good are two different things.
