Check out the new track our neighbors by Will Hyde. The song could have descendant from Sam Smith & Twenty One Pilots, a bizarre comparison, but accurate.

The track was written with Mike Waters (John Legend, Grace VanDerWaal) and Joel Quartermain (G-Flip, Dustin Tebbutt).

“I hope this song can comfort anyone that is feeling stuck in a relationship and lost with themselves because of it. You deserve to be happy so get out of that shit!” shares Will.

He’s garnered support from triple j, Unearthed, Amazing Radio, and Apple Music’s The Travis Mills Show. Stream it on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Kings favorite Clide released the new track curve me. The 21 built his repertoire on sad boy pop songs, but the new track is a departure. The new track is upbeat but Clide still sounds detached because he is rejected.

“But why you gotta curve me
Is it so hard to tell
Cause now I’m singing love songs
Singing love songs to myself”

Whatever Clide does, he does it well. The songwriter Berlin based songwriter landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday in the U.S. with his last track Can’t Give Back Your Love. Stream it on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

When Kayne wants attention he gets it. From hanging out with cancelled villains like Marilyn Manson and DaBaby to running for president.

Kim Kardashian, the queen of social media, thought she was the boss and in control. As crafty as the Kardashian’s are, they can’t drum up the attention like Kanye and con’t control him. Plus, like the Kardashians, everyone is selling perfume and cosmetics.

Oh, did you hear? Kanye filed court documents to formally change his name to Ye.

Unconcerned as to the outcome, Kanye delivers show stopping antics.

Kanye made ruling class nervous last year. Don’t let them fool you. They were intimidated. The political parties thought he could split a vote, and make an impact in elections. They sent the pit bulls after him. They had the media call him a lunatic suffering from psychosis.

Kim couldn’t take the heat. She wanted out. Promoting eyeliner is an easier gig than supporting Kanye fighting Goliath.

And unless you’re living under a rock, you know that Kanye released a new album Donda. Although it was released by Universal without his approval, it’s breaking the internet. The manipulated charts and algorithms can’t stop Kanye garnering 60 million streams in 24 hours. The media that turned on Kanye is calling him a genius again.

Kanye can’t be cancelled.

The mandate debate is heated and has become an emotional battle ground within the artist community.

Dee Snider has a message to the unvaccinated. Your chance of making me sick is an invasion of my privacy, so f**k you.

While Eric Clapton sings “This has gotta stop” (referring to mandates and lockdowns) Joe Rogan says he won’t force fans to get vaxed, and offered a refund for a NYC show.

Neil Young who has a worth of $200 million called music festivals super spreader events and says “Live Nation, AEG, and the other big promoters could shut this down,” “if they could just forget about making money for a while”

Chart topping Christian artist Danny Gokey went on Twitter and said “I’m not an anti vaxxer. I myself, my kids and my wife have been vaxxed. But I am ANTI-MANDATE. If you want to get the vaccine you should be able to do it.”

While some artists are calling for mandates, others are not. What could go wrong with mandates? A decimated touring industry. It’s been estimated that tickets would decline by 30%. Working musicians in NY or LA who refuse to get vaccinated are out of jobs.

According to artist managers, this has become nightmare. The discussion around covid and mandate measures has ripped bands apart as each member has a different opinion on public health policy. The Offspring drummer was kicked off their tour after refusing the covid vaccine.

I get calls from road crew, the ones who travel with the act on tour. They say it’s a disaster. It’s not just state laws, but acts coming to town also have their own rules. This particular act had designated areas for those who were vaxxed and unvaxxed. Apparently some people in the crew couldn’t produce a vaccine card and were banned from entering the catering room. Instead, food was delivered to them in another room. There is also a shortage of workers which forces other crew members to work double shifts with no breaks in between.

Since covid was first detected in the USA, it’s been 18 months, nearly 2 years since the madness begun, and the chaos resumes.
