Ruby Sparks – ‘High & Dry’

The second single off Ruby Sparks’ forthcoming ‘California Honey’ EP is a riff-orgasmic alternative pop-rock treat with beautiful vocals and an epic crescendo, dealing with the “angst-fuelled release of ongoing American neoliberal failure”. 

About Ruby Sparks

For fans of the hit Teen American Drama Series, The O.C. who also voted for Bernie Sanders. Inspired by the Valerie Faris & Jonathan Dayton film of the same name, Ruby Sparks is the Indie Rock project of LA by way of Pennsylvania native Jake Sternberg. Utilizing the lush palette of The Beatles & Beach Boys-inspired harmonies and the slick guitar tones of Arctic Monkeys & Tame Impala – Ruby Sparks aims to connect listeners to the complexities of exploring one’s masculinity, & mental health.

The band’s new single “Realization,” tackles the existential, “I refuse to live a life in ignorance, of all that you don’t see. If only fear could make us curious maybe we’d have more empathy.” Attempting to find a semblance of connection in a world that often feels devoid of it. Through earnest vulnerability, Ruby Sparks attempts to connect the dormant nature of modern rock music with a generation desperately in search of change, and for anyone willing to join the fight to simply exist.

Featured by Merry-Go-Round Magazine, Independent Music, & Mystic Sons, Ruby Sparks is releasing their new EP – California Honey on 5/20 & headlining The Silverlake Lounge on 5/21.

SAUCITO – ‘Better Answer’

An emotive indie r&b treat, with an intimate vocal performance by Maryland’s SAUCITO will leave whispering in tears that ……”love is the answer”… Yes, indeed!

About SAUCITO

Saucito lives in the dichotomous world of citrus sounds and sonic spice. The Afro-Latino, loosely Alternative R&B artist, songwriter, and musician has a direct line to the underbelly of our souls. Known primarily for his lustily groovy Spotify-playlist darling, “Purple,” and the invincible Latin opulence that is “Rápido,” featured in Bad Boys for Life (2020), Saucito has been playing with the recipe long enough to have found his essential ingredients. “I get to the truth first, then the music follows,” Saucito says of his process. This transparency and vulnerability makes sense when you understand his approach. “I start my sessions with meditating and setting an intention behind the meditation. It allows for alignment.”

Hailing from Maryland, but born into a transient family, Saucito credits the geographic activity in his life’s early years as the reason behind the way he views himself in the context of life and music. “I’ve lost a lot of friends [moving around], and I guess that translates to my records; how I can move through songs. I can recognize them as moving spirits that I’m just passing through.” Finding a bolster in music, Saucito took up piano at age 5, inspired by the example of his older brother. He employed a fusion of his lessons in piano, as well as guitar, with a play-it-by-ear technique through the years. His sound ultimately found its way to the ears of world renowned producer, C. Tricky Stewart.

About Lucy Camp

25-year old Lucy Camp is a shape shifter. Project to project, she demonstrates a willingness to keep her audience guessing – from her trap/uk garage-tinged Down Talk EP (2016), the trip-hop visions of Whispers (2017), a complete shift into synthwave on 2018’s Summer Camp, Lo-fi Boom Bap on Someday Maybe (2020), to Darkwave Goth on her latest project Nights.

It’s easy to see why people are taking notice – her visuals have garnered over 2.5 Million views on YouTube alone and amassed her over 22.5M plays on TikTok, with co-signs from taste-maker outlets like BBC 1, 2DopeBoyz, Reddit’s r/listentothis section, Tommy Boy and Crack In The Road, who described her as “a potential game changer.” Relentless with her output, Lucy was involved in a near-fatal car accident in August of 2019, a subject she explores on her mixtape Campfire, with the song “Drive” that crescendos to a goosebump-inducing finale that puts you directly in her shoes and offers closure on her boom-bap EP Someday Maybe with the track ” Healing V2 “. Her latest project Nights, produced by longtime producer Peter Anthony Red, veers even further into new territory, which sonic sweeps into Darkwave & Industrial Goth vibes.
