Atlanta indie-electro act ClAVVS premieres the new song ‘All I Got‘ featuring Yirayah. The track was written by CLAVVS and Atlanta artist Yirayah. Like their previous singles, “All I Got” is a spacey electro anthem layered in synths and a memorable verse-chorus. The duo notes “It started out as a bet to write a song in an hour, but then it turned into a powerful song about magic and existence and impermanence. Definitely not what anyone expected, but that’s the point I think.”

LA’s Cemetery Sun has released a new song ‘Wish It Was Love‘ and video from their forthcoming EP scheduled for an early 2016 release. There is a big open space for a good band in the alternative rock scene and Cemetery Sun is filling that spot. They got traction with the last single (Hard Drugs) Fake Love and their new offering is just as catchy with its strong chorus and harmonies. The band recently partnered with Alterntive Press for the video premier and says this about the new single “Relationships can be toxic and deceiving. This song is about one of those relationships in which both parties want to make it work — but just can’t seem to.”
