margø Debuts Unapologetic Anthem “one bad day”

Published

on

Hailing from the sub-zero tundra of Edmonton, Canada, margø developed an early love for rock as she grew enamoured with classic anthems by the likes of Joan Jett and Blondie, inspired by their ability to empower millions of fans across all demographics. margø puts a modern, dark spin on the style of her predecessors, and she’s here to serve as the voice for anyone struggling to find their own. Through her dark femme aesthetic meant to empower the collective voice of the outcasts and underdogs of the world, margø sets the stage for the themes of fearlessness and self-worth to shine through each track, offering the perfect supervillain soundtrack that can’t help but make listeners feel unstoppable.

Having already accumulated millions of streams on Spotify alone, margø has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. Her new single, “one bad day”, is out now and looks set to build further on her momentum. The track is an unapologetic, empowering alt-z banger about making the decision to not let a toxic relationship hold any power over your life. Gritty yet shimmery guitars and punchy pop-punk drums contrast past releases’ darker productions as margø poses the question – why be sad about someone who just isn’t worth your time? The final monthly single leading into her upcoming EP, margø’s “year of the villain” campaign has built up a loyal following of over 400k across social platforms.

Speaking further on the new release, margø says, “This song is about that moment you realise that someone was incredibly toxic for you and deciding to not let them hold any more power over your emotions. When someone doesn’t value and appreciate you the way you deserve, this song is meant to encourage you to immediately cut their negative energy out of your life and thrive as the strong independent person that you are. It’s their loss – why be sad about someone who doesn’t deserve any more of your time?”

“one bad day” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://margo.frtyfvelink.com/onebadday.

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.
