RJC- Soon as I saw the name of this band, I knew. Had to be from the PNW scene. I did some time there too, as a worker, though. The Band is Regional Justice Center, song is aptly titled, FREEDOM. Speedcore, screaming, wanting to be heard. More noise please, RJC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5_d...

A 1993 interview of Kim Deal of Breeders, Pixies on ABC's (Australia Broadcasting Company) radio show, Triple J. w/Richard Kingsmill. She's open, funny, human, real. This would be an interesting intro to the Deal sisters and this part of the old indie music scene. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Ps...

From Mad Meow Records, Dejha Colantuono's 2009 release, Tea & Vodka, sweeps you away. Here's "Feel You're Going Nowhere" remnant of Sade, Dejha's voice is sweet and powerful. This album is a sleeper more than worth waking up...melodic, soulful, contemplative.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lEx...

Seattle band, Flake, put out some good songs back in the day. "The Bomb" is a pop based rocker from their 2nd CD, Wild Cool Anger on Y Records. Lead vox/guitar, RAWB Middleton, plays a 4 string oddly tuned Gibson. www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FM...

Don’t look for a halo on Weatherday's “Angel", because you might get stung. Listen to the early highlight off the enigmatic Swedish noise-pop songwriter’s sophomore effort 'Hornet Disaster', due out 3/29 via @topshelfrecords.com: lnk.bio/s/2de1e

Here's a voice much needed right now Strong, melodic, deep and resonant, uplifting, tellin' it, Grace Love's, Sing into the Dark 2020 release. "Dear God" is my go-to, but every song is golden.
