Look out for Anarbor and the track Letter In A Suitcase released via ONErpm. You’ll love the track if you’re in the mood for a upbeat track with a basting vocal.

“Letter in a Suitcase’ really kicks the heat up and gets in your face. It’s a reminder that we’re a rock band. The song is about picking up and moving on to better things when the life you’re living is dragging you down. It’s about taking risks and finding yourself in the unexpected.” says the band.

The Phoenix, Arizona based alternative rock band released two albums with Hopeless Records landing themes for Cartoon Network’s “Scooby Doo! The Mystery Begins”, ESPN’s SportsCenter, Good Day L.A. and MLB Network Countdown. They’ve toured the United States,with stops in Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

If you’re an artist, you want to be on SubmitHub. It’s a game changing platform that connects artists to music blogs, YouTube Channels and YouTube curators. I sat down with SubmitHub founder Jason Grishkoff in a podcast and we hit on several topics including the best ways for an artist to get a response.

The best way to use SubmitHub? Make sure you’re aiming at curators that focus on your genre. If you aim at nothing you’ll hit it every time. The site also provides curator insights such as submission to approval rate as well as influence. The more you play, the better result, like anything else. SubmitHub makes the artist his/her own personal PR agent. You get to experience what press agents go through on a daily basis. You still want your PR person though because you need a lot of voices in a noisy atmosphere.

SubmitHub isn’t the be-all and end-all but it should be your first line of offense. Plus, you’ll get honest feedback on your songs. I don’t give feedback because most people can’t deal with criticism, but feedback is good, especially if you can take it.

Look out for LUTZIE and the track I Love You. You’ll love if you want something atmospheric and haunting.

LUTZIE aka Lucia Opalka is a 19-year-old singer-songwriter-pianist from Seattle. She was twice spotlighted as part of Starbucks backed Emerging Artist Series “Up Next”. She was selected to perform her originals for VIP theatre-goers to Beautiful: The Carole King Story.

Now based in Scotland LUTZIE says “I Love You is the second of a six-song EP entitled One to Believe which is about the transitional time of my life when I was leaving my childhood, when a lot of things came into focus about the people around me and what I wanted to become. This song in particular, I Love You, comes from the insecure feeling of loving someone and not being sure they feel the same way. When I wrote it I was thinking about how overwhelmed I felt looking into the eyes of someone I loved and the lost feeling I had, wishing I knew what was behind his eyes and how he felt.”
