More from MOTORCADE today! I have been a total pest about this song "Slip," so it is satisfying to read Mitch Mosk of Atwood Magazine's "Today's Song" thoughts about it: "Everything’s surging forward with dramatic, volatile force, and yet MOTORCADE are calm, cool, and collected: Masters of balancing chaos with control, they shine with charming post-punk passion... [‘Slip’ is] a sign of turbulent times; an anthemic, emotional rallying cry in the darkness; a valiant outpouring of self-expression in a sea of overwhelming futility and frustration."
Check out the full review! And if you are in Dallas, come out to the Kessler Theater on June 24 to see MOTORCADE live (with FIT supporting!) Tickets on sale here.
Please go over to All About Jazz to hear the debut track "Punching Clocks" from the instrumental Portland duo of Cliff Hayes (Buellton) and A. Walker Spring (Old Time Relijun) aka CLIFFWALKER.
“Central to their sound is the vibraphone. It’s here in its glassy and funky finest... I don’t know if Vibrarock is a thing but if it’s not, this duo have invented it.” — Higher Plain Music

Greg Kot played "Static" from 𝘚𝘦𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘐𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 (out now on Idol Records) during the show's latest "Buried Treasures" episode, effectively making it less buried. Thanks for that, Greg!

I'm energized by this hyperdrive Paul Slavens cut called "Queenie," in which the award-winning, long-running KXT public radio host shows off his madman-level composition skills. It's 🔥.
Visit All About Jazz for the scoop. Scroll down to watch the video (also of Paul's making, utilizing both his sheet music and the product of the creative mind of photographer, James Bland) for the tune that was handed to four university jazz students with the instructions to "play it as fast as you can."
