C.S. ARMSTRONG DROPS DEEP COVERS 187 MIXTAPE EXCLUSIVELY ON AUDIOMACK

Today, critically acclaimed R&B force of nature and 21st century bluesman C.S. Armstrong reveals his brand new Deep Covers 187 mixtape exclusively on Audiomack. Listen to it HERE via Republic Records.

On the project, he brings raw soul to stripped-down renditions of H.E.R.’s “Damage,” Lorde’s “Royals,” Solange’s “Cranes in the Sky,” and SZA’s “Good Days” as his soul-shaking delivery quakes over passionately picked guitar and intense keys. These four tracks will only be available on Audiomack, while his cover of “Limit To Your Love” by James Blake and Feist can be found on all DSPs.

Check out the full tracklisting below.

Carving out his niche with cover songs, C.S. Armstrong has also recently reimagined Gnarls Barkely’s “Crazy,” Summer Walker’s “Session 32,” and Sade’s “Sweetest Taboo.” Additionally, he teamed up with none other than Black Thought of The Roots for “Welcome To America” from the Judas and the Black Messiah Soundtrack. Attracting critical praise, The New York Times highlighted Armstrong’s “gritty vocal choruses.” 

All of this follows the release of “Own Two” featuring Jay Rock which will be included on his forthcoming major label debut album.

Be on the lookout for more from C.S. Armstrong soon.

Born to a single mother in the service with a preacher grandma in his corner,  C.S. Armstrong traveled an unbelievable road one step at a time. At 10-years-old, he preached in church as an ordained minister. At 16-years-old, he earned respect in the streets with his fists. At 18-years-old, he enlisted in the military to serve his country. Eight years later, he rolled into New York and lent his voice to one hip-hop banger after another. His instantly recognizable vocals shined on Statik Selektah’s “In The Wind” [feat. Joey Bada$$ & Big K.R.I.T] and Bun B, Prodigy, and Remy Bank’s “Where’s Your Leader.” His voice also coursed through Action Bronson’s tastemaker-approved Billboard Top 200 chart-topping Mr. Wonderful, in addition to joining the star on the road. Settling in Southern California, he powered Book’s “Last Man Standing” for the official Call of Duty: WWII trailer and dropped a pair of critically acclaimed independent projects, namely Truth Be Told [2019] and The Blue Tape [2020]. His voice echoed on Black Thought’s “We Could Be Good (United)” [feat. C.S. Armstrong & OSHUN] from the critical favorite Streams of Thought, Vol. 3: Cain & Able. Along the way, Dr. Dre became his “uncle,” Republic Records signed him, and he distilled gospel, blues, hip-hop, and rock into a sound as intoxicating and biting as aged whisky. Streamed millions of times and championed by Billboard, A COLORS SHOW, and more, OnesToWatch claimed, “The music is something to grow old with.” Now, he tells the story with no filter on a series of singles for Republic Records.

Once again, he shines over the song’s skittering beat. He delivers one quotable bar after another before locking into the hypnotic hook. In the accompanying visual, he flashes cash as he hangs out the window of a white SUV and turns up in the sneaker shop. As usual, he asserts overwhelming star power on screen. The song will appear on his upcoming new project that will come out this fall, which will showcase YSN Flow’s elevated soundscape.

“‘Chrome Hearts’ is a song explaining my lifestyle change and the mentality I've lived by ever since I've had my first hit song. In the song you'll hear me talk about a lot of my goals, and many of the reasons as to why I dedicate my all to my music career,” says YSN Flow on the track.

Just prior, YSN Flow racked up another 1.1 million streams with “Pac Man” and also attracted acclaim from The Musical Hype. Its predecessor “Do It Again” feat. Doe Boy ignited streaming platforms and received the endorsement of FLAUNT and more.

Next up, he’s set to take the stage at Rolling Loud NY on October 29.

Thus far, YSN Flow has pulled in 130 million streams worldwide since he emerged in 2018. At the same time, he has garnered unanimous critical acclaim from The Source, Revolt, Bleu Mag, Elevator Mag, AllHipHop, HipHopDX, and more. Plus, his 2020 mixtape Long Story Short landed on the “5 New Albums You Need to Hear This Week on Audiomack” from Audiomack/DJ Booth. Along the way, he has also collaborated with heavy-hitters such as Justin Rarri, Lil Tjay and Quando Rondo.

Stay tuned for more from YSN Flow soon.

Today, Volbeat, the multi-platinum Danish band, share their new music video for “Wait A Minute My Girl.” The music video was directed by Sean Donnelly, founder of AWESOME+modest, with collages by Mengqing Yuan, and animation by Steve Yeung. AWESOME+modest is an animation studio based in Los Angeles, California that specializes in mixed media techniques. They most recently created all of the animation in the HBO documentary miniseries "The Lady and the Dale", Marvel's "Behind the Mask" and Showtime's "The One and Only Dick Gregory." The band said of the video: “After seeing the work they did on The Lady and the Dale we knew that Sean and the team at Awesome+modest could do something trippy and creative for “Wait A Minute My Girl.” This video exceeded even our wildest expectations. It’s weird, fun and crazy – we absolutely love it.” Watch the music video for “Wait A Minute My Girl” here.

Along with “Wait A Minute My Girl” Volbeat also recently shared their song “Dagen Før.” The two tracks, the band’s first new music since 2019’s album Rewind, Replay, Rebound, were written and recorded while the world was in lockdown during the pandemic. Michael, Kaspar and Jon recorded their parts with long-time producer Jacob Hansen in Denmark, while Rob worked remotely from New York.

“Wait A Minute My Girl” features saxophone player Doug Corcoran and piano player Raynier Jacob Jacildo, who both perform with JD McPherson’s band and previously appeared with Volbeat on 2019’s “Die To Live (feat. Neil Fallon).” Singer Mia Maja, who has worked with the band since Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie, also appears on backing vocals. “Dagen Før” features guest vocals from Danish artist Stine Bramsen, who is known for her solo work as well as being a member of the band Alphabeat. The song, in the tradition of “The Garden’s Tale,” “Maybele I Hofteholder” and “For Evigt,” features both English and Danish lyrics, and marks the first commercially-released song that features Stine singing in her native Danish.

Since forming in 2001, Volbeat has gone from the clubs of Copenhagen to headlining stages around the world, including the famed Telia Parken stadium in Denmark (and becoming the only domestic artist to ever sell out the venue). Over the course of eight record-breaking albums the band has picked up number one songs (including eight #1s on the US Mainstream Rock chart and counting), multi-platinum certifications, awards and accolades (including a Grammy nomination) all over the planet. Their latest album, Rewind, Replay, Rebound, was released on August 2nd, 2019 and has spawned the hit singles “Last Day Under The Sun,” “Die To Live (feat. Neil Fallon)” and “Leviathan.” A live album featuring songs recorded during the subsequent world tour, Rewind, Replay, Rebound: Live in Deutschland, was released digitally on November 27th, 2020. A vinyl-only bonus track compilation, Hokus Bonus, was originally made available on limited-edition vinyl on RSD Black Friday 2020 and will be available in a new, limited European version and a North American standard version this Summer and are available for pre-order at volbeat.dk.

Canadian multi-instrumentalist Kiesza is currently on tour as direct support for violinist Lindsey Stirling on a nationwide US string of dates -- on The Artemis Tour -- from July to September. 

Kiesza will be performing songs from her latest album, Crave (2020), with a couple of unreleased tracks. Both unreleased songs will be released on July 30th via Crave Deluxe and will be available on all streaming platforms.

This will be Kiesza's first big tour in 4 years, since suffering severe injuries from a car accident that she was in in 2017. She and her band haven't missed a beat, though, coming back with insane energy.

Fun fact: she is touring with an all-female band on the Artemis tour, with Rayna Zemel on guitar and legendary Hole drummer Patty Schemel on drums.

The Maine to Tour on

Sad Summer Fest 

with All Time Low and More, 

Beginning in August 2021

LISTEN TO “XOXO: From Love & Anxiety In Real Time” HERE

Lead singer John O’Callaghan says, “I suppose it’s mostly for you to decide what ‘XOXO’ means. But to me, it’s the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows, and every last little feeling in between. So without dirtying it all up with words, please sit back and with an open head and heart and allow us to bring you our 8th studio album, XOXO FROM LOVE & ANXIETY IN REAL TIME.”

The first track and single from the LP “Sticky,” released in March is a pop gem. It proves its lyrics “want to play you over and over again” to be true by reaching #16 on Mediabase’s Alternative chart and the song recently debuted on the “Alt 18” on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation. 

The album pivots to tracks “Pretender'' and “High Forever” which flex their rock sensibilities. 

The pretty, jangly “Pretender” is a poignant catchy cut. “High Forever” relies on John’s rasp and drummer Pat Kirch’s powerful percussion to drive the song. 

The infectious “Lips” is a sweet summer anthem. The love song, which kicks off with a riff which propels listeners to get up and dance.

The new 10-track album, XOXO: From Love And Anxiety In Real Time, showcases their knack for combining pop and rock without losing any danceability. The Maine’s roots in DIY remain strong on this record as the band effortlessly boasts their homemade anthemic and revelatory lyrics on each track. Their songwriting on this collection includes their consistently thoughtful lyrics touching on the topics of love and mental health while holding onto their positive radio friendly sound. 

John's vocals dance through catchy melodies, expertly backed by the rest of the band’s masterful performances.

The Maine is John O’Callaghan (Lead Vocals, Piano, Rhythm Guitar), Kennedy Brock (Guitar, Back-up Vocals), Jared Monaco (Lead Guitar), Garrett Nickelsen (Bass), and Pat Kirch (Drums, Percussion). 

Jointly The Maine have announced a pop-up shop in Los Angeles on 7/10 starting at 11AM PT until 5PM PT. It is being held at 1028 South Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles, CA.
