It’s a beautiful Friday and we’re ecstatic to be back with a new Daybreaker roundup. We have a bright collection of indie songs coming from some of the best rising singer-songwriters. Brutally honest, this bunch delivers a range of stripped down, dream-pop, and alternatively soulful music that connects with the listener on a deeper level. […]
In 2020, when live events shut down, Wizard World nimbly pivoted to a live streaming model – bringing their fans into the world of virtual super heroes, villains and scream queens.

It’s March 19, which means SPIN turns 36! In recognition of our anniversary, and vesting in ourselves imaginary powers, we are going to issue pardons for those who have committed crimes against music. What does that mean, you ask, perhaps not unreasonably? Well it means that by this proclamation, we hereby state that we’re selecting […]

Music wasn’t Alice Phoebe Lou’s first choice. It sort of happened to her. When she was 16, still in high school, dancing and acting in theater, Lou left her home in South Africa for a two-month sojourn in Paris where she met some street performers who taught her the basics of busking.
