Buzz Track: Born 2 Run
Alternative Rock/ Hip Hop act 7Lions have been creating a buzz capturing the interest from producer RedOne who has worked with some biggest artists including Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj. Working so well together the band signed to RedOne’s label 2101 Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. They’ve garnered a response to their “L.A. Kings/Born 2 Run” remix, which was created with 98.7 FM sister site AM 570 and the L.A. Kings, and served as the official Stanley Cup theme for the championship team. The band is known to perform in front of packed audiences at some of the most popular venues in Los Angeles, such as the Roxy, Viper Room, and the Whisky.

Buzz Track: Lights
I’m really enjoying folk/acoustic/pop artist Katy Glorioso, I find her voice and melodies memorable. Her story goes: After recording an EP in 2011, it fell into the hands of Nashville singer/songwriter Jeremy Casella. Katy recorded with Casella in Nashville and released her full length album Fine and Foolish. Katy has gained radio play on Central Pennsylvania’s The River 97.3 as well as performing in some of the top venues in the area. She headlined CI Records’ Endless Summer Fest 3. and has opened for Jon Walker (formerly of Panic! at the Disco) and will be opening for Jennifer Knapp on Oct. 30.

Buzz Track: Your Man

THE VIM DICTA is an indie act comprising of just two guitar/vocalists and a drummer. Their influences range from The Mars Volta, The Doors, and Parliament Funkadelic. The track ‘Your Man’ was featured on the Season 5 Premier of SONS OF ANARCHY. Interestingly, the band recorded the tracks live in the studio with no overdubs and I hear the live show is intense.
