Indie-rock singer-songwriter Briston Maroney unveils the video for his latest single, "Better Than You." Co-written with Dan Nigro (Caroline Polachek, Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell, Lorde), the song is a bounding tune about menace and ambition and self-judgement that spreads like a virus.

Multi-Instrumental Blues sstar Brody Buster just released his new album "Redemption" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the song "Can You Hear Me". Here is the story:
I wrote the song "Can You Hear Me" while driving in my car. I seem to have most of my ideas while driving. It clears my head. Thankfully I do a lot of it. I was headed home after a gig.
