Lumberjerk Records is putting out its first compilation, Strait Outta Comp, and it combines two of our favorite things: good music and a good cause. The label, and its forthcoming compilation, are the brainchild of Justin Weir (of Celebrations Guns fame) and features a smorgasbord of Arizona alt- and indie- artists,Read More →
Stephen Cope is the songwriter behind Officer Jenny; a musical project with a playful name and serious sound. Officer Jenny emerges from the murky, merging waters of weird folk and baroque pop like a dark Venus in some Southern Gothic swamp. At times, the music heard on his new album GodRead More →

We’re super excited to host the premiere of Delafaye’s latest single, “West Coast Vibes” from his forthcoming EP, Highlands.
