Coming out of sleepy Charleston, I’m feeling the psych-indie rock act Beach Tiger. The indie rock quartet is fresh on the scene, yet their two song releases have already garnered 30k SoundCloud streams, and music blogs such as Indie Shuffle, Hillydilly, and The Wild Honey Pie are loving the band.

Getting in touch with the band has been a bit tough as they have been holed up in studio all week with little sleep, but I am expecting big things from Beach Tiger. Check out the track Mind Make.

An interview with Nashville based singer songwriter Shannon LaBrie, known for the song Alcohol which has clocked 1.5 million streams on Spotify.

What would be the overall theme of your latest album?
Honestly, I think the overall theme of this record is “Grief.” This album was written in the midst of and in hindsight of the most painful years of my life. A mixture of love songs, sad songs, strong songs, they are all little bits and pieces of my journey. When this album officially released I felt a sense of relief and I truly believe that (the making of this album) made the burden of grief much lighter.

What do you want to say through your music?
That you are not alone. No matter how dark or painful your life might be, you are never alone and there is always hope! CONTINUE READING
