FEATURE: DBMK - "CHAINS"

 
 

Looking for something modern and bad ass? Scope out Nashville-based alt-pop duo DBMK’s new single “Chains.”

DBMK is the project of Nashville-based vocalist Kyle Knudsen and drummer Colton Ward. They’ve sold out DIY shows across the country and racked up millions of streams across their repertoire, exploring new musical dimensions and cultivating an incredibly tight-knit fanbase.

"The world is bending and we are forced to react - we’ve got a few options. “Chains” is our hopeful outcry of a response. A generation facing what feels like another apocalypse at the start of every day, lives on the cliche 'we’re here not for a long time, but a good time.' This may be true, but we don’t have to spend that time alone and we can even dress up and make it a party along

the way. With a rawness that feels equally brutally honest and optimistic, it makes it feel okay to smile and cry at the same time. Driving drums and soaring vocals turn the truth into something you can sing along to without fear."

A COLD COMFORT CONVERSATION WITH RUTHIE COLLINS

 
 

Sidewalk Records recording artist Ruthie Collins fills us in on the continuation of her dreamy Country saga, including the expanded re-release of her current project, Cold Comfort and the ethereal new radio single, “Hypocrite.” Stream the record below!

Your new single, “Hypocrite” was released to radio Jan 10. Talk about the inspiration behind it.
I wrote “Hypocrite” with my best friend Natalie Stovall, actually in her driveway, where my 1973 argosy airstream was parked at the time. I was in the airstream trying to turn a very bitter heartbreak into a song and I needed my best friend. Thankfully she came out and finished it with me. We knew it was something special right away.

For those who aren’t familiar with Ruthie Collins music or projects, tell us what fans can expect from this record and the new single. 
Cold Comfort is a country/americana record that blurs the lines between traditional country and singer songwriter. It’s a super emotional record, raw and vulnerable. Hypocrite takes the foundation of Cold Comfort, the cinematic sounds, soaring melodies and a heart wrenching lyric and moves it into a slightly more commercial sound.


The music video for “Hypocrite” is epic! Tell us a bit about it.
I had been dying to work with Running Bear (the production team) for years. I was huge fans of everything they had done prior so I just trusted their vision and jumped in even though it was so far out of my comfort zone. Working with Stephen and Alexa is the only way we would have made that video. They perfectly brought to life the emotions I was feeling when I wrote the song and amplified them into a storyline that really suited the song.

 
 


You’re re-releasing and extended version of your record, Cold Comfort, what songs are you excited for fans to hear or get another shot at tuning into?
I’m really excited about the three unplugged tracks! I recorded those at my mom’s house during the lockdown, so it’s my first time engineering and producing on my own. And “Hypocrite,” obviously!


You crafted much of your record Cold Comfort during the pandemic. What did you learn?
I learned that nothing is in your control and to just surrender to the moment. From traveling to the UK and then not being able to play live, to so many shows being canceled over and over, I’m trying to just find peace in the creation of the art.

 
 


If your fans could take away one thing from this project, what do you hope that is?
I hope this record gives people a safe place to express their emotions even when it’s uncomfortable, because there is so much healing in that!

What else can fans expect from Ruthie in 2022?
More new music and lots of touring!! (Fingers crossed, that is.)

FEATURE: ANNA MAE - "COMING OF AGE"

 

Established Alt-pop artist, Anna Mae takes a step back from her synch-heavy writing world (over 150 major TV and film placements) and steps into the next phase of her music career with the effortless new tune, “Coming of Age.” This is the 3rd release on the musical journey that will come to be a 2-part album for the Prescription songs writer.

“I’ve always loved the bittersweet feelings of nostalgia and “Coming Of Age” is full of those emotions. The older I get, the farther away I get from my teenage years. But I feel like regardless of the distance, those years still impact me so much and always will. And I love that. It’s almost like our “coming of age” years are forever immortalized for us, maybe more than any other time in our lives.”

“In many ways, I think this project is me coming back to my roots. It’s me making the thing I've always dreamt of, but just didn’t know how to create in the past.”

Listen to “Coming of Age” below.
