	The Rakes Interview I can’t decide what sets the rakes apart from other bands, yet somehow they are greatly refreshing. Maybe it all amounts to to fundamental fact that what they’re doing is being done with sincerety. Musically they may sound like 80’s riffing garage/moodiness...[more]
	Marnie Mains Interview Singer / Songwriter Marnie Mains has something to prove. While the modern day pop music norm for guitar clutching heroines consists of well practiced angst-filled looks and a set list of repetitious themes and sounds...[more]
