Album Spotlight: Notice – Chapter One: Dreamer

Published

on

Hey, rockers and rebels! Today, we’re diving into the debut album that’s been making waves in the alternative scene: Notice’s Chapter One: Dreamer. Strap in, because we’re in for a wild ride through the mind of Brandon Bruce, the mastermind behind Notice.

The Lowdown: So, who’s Notice? Well, it’s not your typical band setup. Brandon Bruce is a one-man powerhouse hailing from the heart of Nashville, Tennessee. He’s not just your average musician – Brandon plays all the instruments, produces, and engineers his own stuff. Talk about a jack-of-all-trades!

The Vibe: Chapter One: Dreamer isn’t just an album; it’s an experience. Brandon’s poured his heart and soul into these tracks, and you can feel it with every riff and lyric. From high-energy anthems to introspective acoustic jams, this album takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions.

The Standout Track: Let’s talk about “This Love.” It’s like Orwell’s 1984 got a punk rock makeover. Brandon takes us on a journey through love, betrayal, and defiance, all set to a killer guitar backdrop. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it’s over.

The Lyrics: Ever felt like you’re caught in a web of lies and deceit? Then you’ll relate to “This Love”. Brandon’s lyrics hit hard, painting a vivid picture of two souls torn apart by forces beyond their control. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s downright powerful.

Final Thoughts: Chapter One: Dreamer isn’t just Brandon’s debut – it’s a statement. It’s about staying true to yourself, even when the world tries to tear you down. So, if you’re looking for an album that’ll make you think, feel, and maybe even start a revolution, give Notice a listen.

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

Published

on

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!

His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.

“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”

The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:

“I just want to entertain people and make them a bit happier.”– Aaron King.

Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.

“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.

“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”

Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
