DANIEL LEYES RELEASES LP MEDICINAL AMERICANA,MADE IN COLLABORATION WITH LEGENDARY TROUBADOUR TODD SNIDER

Singer-songwriter and Americana troubadour DANIEL LEYES releases his collaborative LP ‘Medicinal Americana’, cultivated and produced by the the late songwriter and roots, Americana, and folk-rock legend Todd Snider. The album is available on all digital streaming platforms, and you can find it HERE.

Daniel Leyes has a life story worth telling, and an album, ‘Medicinal Americana’, that brings that story to life. Born and raised on Staten Island, Leyes grew up immersed in the sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, from Motown to Led Zeppelin. He’s been playing guitar and writing songs since his teens, steadily shaping the voice he carries today.​

Everything shifted for him in 2017, the first time he heard folk-Americana legend Todd Snider, specifically the song “Conservative Christian.” Leyes recalls, “My life is divided into two parts: before I heard Todd and after I heard Todd. After that chance radio encounter, my life would never be the same.”​

Their friendship truly began years later, in 2023, when Leyes attended a songwriting camp hosted by Snider. The two quickly bonded, describing themselves as “cosmic old friends,” sharing songs, stories, and plenty of smoke-filled sessions that helped spark the creative energy behind this album. What neither of them knew at the time was that Medicinal Americana would become Snider’s final production project before his passing, adding a deeper emotional weight to the record.​

‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal,’ one of the album’s lead singles, sets the tone with a carefree sense of celebration. Driven by bright horns, acoustic guitars, and an infectious rhythm, it’s arguably the most immediately memorable track. It’s playful, catchy, and almost nursery rhyme-like in its simplicity.

The next single, ‘Stoner Mating Call,’ strips things back. With just Leyes’ voice and an acoustic guitar front and center, the song leans into humor and charm: “If you wanna make love until mañana / In a funky little bungalow in southwest Tijuana / After which we could smoke some marijuana / Honey, I’m the man for you.” Beneath the cheeky lines is a sincerity that makes the song feel genuine and disarming.​

Another standout is ‘Astrovan,’ co-written with Snider. Raw and reflective, it shifts focus away from the album’s lighter themes and into something more personal, chasing dreams, regardless of how messy or uncertain the path may be: “I got this dream that I’m chasing / It comes before everything / This simple life I’m embracing / Living every day to play and sing.”​

Other highlights include ‘Can You Do It,’ a dark, smoky, blues-tinged track that leans into introspection, while ‘Party’ swings in the opposite direction, building gradually before exploding into a full, high-energy payoff.​

Dedicated to Leyes’ friend Carl “Tinker” West (Bruce Springsteen’s original manager) ‘Medicinal Americana’ is more than just a collection of songs. It’s a journey, one rooted in friendship, growth, creative freedom, and a passionate tribute to Todd Snider’s lasting influence.

‘Medicinal Americana’ is now out for your pleasure across all leading platforms. Why not have a listen below…

ANDREW MOORE & HOOCH FT. JOHN DALY & DAN TYMINSKI – TYRANT

ANDREW MOORE & HOOCH‘s latest single, ‘Tyrant,’ is a gritty, blues-infused Americana anthem that explores the emotional toll of living under constant criticism, control, and negativity while ultimately finding the strength to reclaim your peace. Featuring Grammy-winning vocalist Dan Tyminski and PGA legend John Daly, the song transforms a deeply personal struggle into a message that resonates far beyond any one situation.

Daly’s involvement extends far beyond a feature credit. After hearing Moore and the band perform the song, he immediately connected with its message and became an active part of the project, serving as co-producer, appearing in the music video, and delivering the spoken-word closing that brings the song’s story full circle.

​”The song is awesome and I feel a lot of people go through divorces which really sucks and the song is just so good it really touched my heart the first time I heard it.” — John Daly

​Driven by Moore’s soulful vocal performance, heartfelt songwriting, and the band’s signature blend of blues, country, rock, and Americana influences, ‘Tyrant’ speaks to anyone who has ever felt weighed down by a relationship, addiction, family dynamic, workplace situation, or personal struggle that continually diminishes their sense of self.

‘Tyrant’ is released today across all leading platforms. Watch the official music video below…

INDIGO SYNDICATE – c e i l i n g s

INDIGO SYNDICATE returns with ‘c e i l i n g s,’ a laid-back, jazz-influenced track that reveals a more vulnerable side of the group while still holding onto the sharp lyricism and personality that define their sound. Built around themes of perseverance, self-reflection, and personal growth, the song explores the challenge of navigating uncertainty while continuing to move forward.

From the opening lines, the track settles into a hazy, introspective groove before expanding into an uplifting chorus that feels like a conversation with yourself: a reminder to keep going, trust the process, and focus on growth. The song balances emotional honesty with effortless cool, pairing hypnotic production, jazz-inspired textures, and memorable melodies that reward repeat listens.

Speaking on the track, Indigo Syndicate shares: “‘c e i l i n g s’ is a song about perseverance. This track is meant to reassure listeners that they are not alone and motivate them to keep trying. We felt the timing of this song was especially important. During such an intense and uncertain time across the globe, this is meant to help anyone who needs it.”

‘c e i l i n g s’ is out today via all leading platforms. Check out the official music video for single below…

Nine months after their last collaborative release (Yesterday’s Weirdness…EP with Alaska), ALEX LUDOVICO and JASON GRIFF are back with ‘A Lot to Unpack’, a new 12-song LP that feels more like an EP, despite its 20+ minute runtime. The project spans a wide variety of lyrical subjects, ranging from politics to one-night stands to baseball to showing love to Westside Gun to just spitting crazy bars. Griff’s beats consistently offer a wild assortment of flavors irresistible to the head-nodders, club kids, and abstract wallflowers. He cleverly incorporates several unique instrumental interludes, tying tracks together into a fun, non-stop mix

The album features guest appearances from Jesse the Tree, Rapswell (of PenPals), Alaska, Zilla Rocca, and even a few words from the usually silent partner, Griff. ‘A Lot to Unpack’ is out now on all streaming platforms. Why not check it out below…

JENNA DEVRIES – FLAT EARTH

Nashville-based singer-songwriter JENNA DEVRIES‘ new single ‘Flat Earth’ isn’t flirting with conspiracy theories — it leans into them, using them like a funhouse mirror to show how heartbreak twists reality. The “flat earth” isn’t just a wild idea — it’s a metaphor for doubt, for the way your mind stretches to make sense of something you thought was solid but wasn’t.

The verses — “Maybe there was no man on the moon / Maybe birds are too good to be true / Powers that be aren’t what they seem / And you never really loved me” and “Maybe aliens built the pyramids / And Atlantis is where they all hid / In the depths so nobody believes / And you never really loved me” — float through impossible scenarios, almost playful, before folding back into that one quiet sting.

The conspiracies aren’t literal — they’re the emotional logic of someone trying to explain love that never existed. When the thing you trusted most turns out to be false, suddenly even the strangest ideas start to feel possible.

‘Flat Earth’ was released last Friday (24th April) across all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…

DAVE LENAHAN – FIRST

DAVE LENAHAN‘s new single ‘First’ is a heartfelt country ballad that explores love through the lens of vulnerability—the quiet fear of losing the person who means everything. Rooted in a traditional country sound, Dave’s emotional delivery shines throughout, especially in lines like “Hand in hand together till the end of time / But we can’t live forever, life is so unfair,” and the striking chorus confession, “I don’t wanna live a day without you on this Earth / I wanna go first.” The track also features Taylin Rae, whose harmonies add a beautiful emotional counterpoint.

‘First’ was released last Thursday (23rd April) via all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…

DANIEL LEYES – HA HA WEED IS LEGAL + STONER MATING CALL

DANIEL LEYES shares two singles – ‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal’ and Stoner Mating Call’ – for your pleasure!

‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal’ is a celebratory anthem about cannabis legalization and cultural change. Inspired by New Jersey’s legalization and shaped by humor and social commentary, the track embraces freedom and challenges outdated prohibition with playful defiance.

‘Stoner Mating Call’ is a soulful, lighthearted love song built around a simple opening line: “Mama – if you wanna smoke some marijuana, honey I’m the man for you.” It blends humor and warmth into a relaxed, character-driven track.

Why not brighten up your day and check them out below…

XO SOUNDTRACK – CLOSE

XO SOUNDTRACK is back with another instantly addictive release, ‘Close,’ a track that pulses with emotion just beneath its glossy surface. From the first few seconds, it locks into a nostalgic groove, blending shimmering synth pop textures with an alt pop edge that feels straight out of early The 1975, but still distinctly its own.

‘Close’ was released last Thursday (23rd April) via all leading music platforms. Listen below:

BULLET BRAK – TAPPED IN

BULLET BRAK has dropped his newest project, ‘Tapped In,’ and it’s already making noise—debuting at #43 on the iTunes Global Hip-Hop charts within 24 hours.

MADDIE LENHART – LET HIM FLY

MADDIE LENHART‘s take on ‘Let Him Fly’ feels less like a cover and more like a quiet moment you’ve been invited into. Recorded live in a single take at Treehouse Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, her version strips everything back to its emotional core, honoring the songwriting of Patty Griffin while gently nodding to the familiarity of The Chicks.

In 2025, she released eight new songs, all landing on Spotify and Apple editorial playlists, performed at CMA Fest, was named one of Holler’s 10 Artists You Need to Know, and earned a Billboard feature for her breakout track “Drive Me Crazy.”

PAUL MINNICH – YOUR CLOWN

PAUL MINNICH returns with a sweet, refreshing take on the classic love song in ‘Your Clown,’ leaning into the quiet truth that love isn’t always expressed perfectly. Somewhere between the silliness, the everyday ups and downs, and the unpolished moments, Minnich offers a “bouquet” of words – a reminder that even imperfect expressions can carry real meaning.

‘Your Clown’ is released last Friday (17th April) across all leading music platforms. Check it out below…

JAENESE – RIDE

There’s something immediately disarming about JAENESE‘s “Ride.” It doesn’t try to oversell itself – it just settles into a mood and lets you live there for a while. Built on a soft, hazy groove from Noturmood, the track leans into that dreamy, neo-soul space where indie textures meet quiet intimacy. You can feel a faint lineage that brushes past the emotional honesty of Willow and the airy, romantic pull of Alvvays, but Jaenese keeps it personal and grounded.

‘Ride’ was released last Thursday (16th April) across all leading music platforms. Check it out below…
