J. Marco is probably one of the coolest guys I’ve gotten to interview yet. Former Boston native and now a Nashvillian, the singer-songwriter talked to me about his debut album that just came out last month!

As a crazed music fan and avid show-goer, I was looking forward to my first local music festival since moving to Miami two years ago. South Florida doesn’t see a ton of good artists come through (yeah, I said it), so I was looking forward to the sick line-up Riptide put together. The cool thing about South Florida is that despite the festival being in December, we could rock alongside our favorite bands in jean shorts and flipflops right on Fort Lauderdale Beach under a full moon.

Who Run The World is London’s first promotions company exclusively showcasing women in music. They’re celebrating their second birthday on August 13th with a killer lineup featuring ARXX, Fightmilk, The Baby Seals, The Menstrual Cramps, and Suggested Friends. I talked to founder Beth White about the idea behind Who Run The World and why it’s necessary for women to support other women.

If Jimmy Fallon’s a fan of your work, then you know you’re special. And honestly, after listening to Future Thieves’ single, “Sucker” I thought this, too. Future Thieves includes the talents of Elliot Collett (vocals and guitar), Austin McCool (guitar), Nick Goss (drums), and Gianni Gibson (drums).

We all know that LA has an incredible music scene, but asides from the huge acts that dominate the charts there’s a whole independent scene that has been a subject of fixation to me for quite a while. One group in particular, Play Like A Girl seems to be at the forefront of every cult-favorite band right now. The group puts on shows featuring female performers, but other than that they host workshops, run their own label, and promote the hell out of up and coming acts. I talked to founder Kimi Recor about the birth of the project and where she sees it heading.
