An interesting song with amazing visuals and lovely mix! I love the industrial feel of this and the experimental side of the instrumentation! We will share on Instagram and in our printed magazine! 

World Rock Generation

Nov 22

I Need Some Sunshine - is an interesting blend of melody and an experimental approach to sound. The track stands out with its structure: effortless harmonies smoothly transition into unexpected instrumental accents, creating an atmosphere of subtle mystery. The restrained and heartfelt vocals complement the overall picture, adding depth without being distracting. 

Overall Impression: 

Raw and red hot, I Need Some Sunshine by Brother Magh rips the door right off of its hinges. This heavy new Hard Rock song is filled with gritty guitars, rough vocals, and approachable lyrics. The vocal melody often follows the guitar riffs, pounding the madness into the listener's skull. This is a very effective method of making sure nobody forgets the song, but does make it the most sinister kind of ear worm. Brother Magh's vocals are guttural and cutting. He throws down with a brutal sound, and narrowly avoids an otherworldly quality. The lyrics swirl around the idea of overcoming pain and strife. Anyone who has needed to be tough, but still found themselves in need of something or someone to help them through will surely relate to Brother Magh's lyrics in his cutting new Hard Rock song I Need Some Sunshine.

Strongest Point(s):

This song makes no apologies, nor does it try to fit into a certain mold. It has a long running length, multiple sections of instrumental work and repeats of the chorus, and it is always right on the edge. It is very in your face, but still manages to avoid being explicit. It would work as an introduction to DIY Hard Rock music without losing any of the edges that genre is known for.

United Music Mafia Review ' Phenomenal Anomaly'

United Music Mafia

"‘Phenomenal Anomaly’ by Brother Magh is a powerhouse rock track that demands your attention from the very first note. The song kicks off with a blistering guitar riff that sets the tone for the rest of the track, showcasing the band's impressive musicianship and raw energy. The driving drums and pulsating bass line create a sense of urgency and intensity that propels the song forward, creating a relentless momentum that never lets up. The powerful vocals soar over the roaring instrumentation, delivering emotive lyrics that are filled with passion and intensity. Brother Magh's sound is a perfect blend of classic rock influences and modern sensibilities, combining elements of hard rock, blues, and alternative rock to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh. The band's tight musicianship and dynamic performance make ‘Phenomenal Anomaly’ a force to be reckoned with.

Lyrically, the song explores themes of rebellion, individuality, and breaking free from societal constraints. The anthemic chorus and powerful delivery make the message loud and clear, resonating with listeners on a visceral level. Overall, ‘Phenomenal Anomaly’ is a standout rock track that showcases Brother Magh's formidable talent and unique sound. With its intense energy, powerful vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics, the song is a true rock powerhouse that is sure to captivate fans of the genre. 

4.5/5 stars."

Long Term Music Goals

Long Term Music Goals By: Kip Batiz Setting long-term goals is essential in any business including music. As the new horizon arises in the land of entertainment, artists in every facet of the industry have been looking to many unconventional methods of generating income. Something that underground bands, artists, and groups need to consider is entertainment (for the last 30yrs) has only been extremely profitable to the top 20% of the industry. A growing number of top-level professionals are switching to direct-to-customer business models. With concert attendance at a steady rise throughout almost the entire nation and continuously plummeting record sales, the paradigm shift (that everyone knew was coming) has finally began to bubble at the highest levels of the industry. Keep your goals in line with what is happening on the internet and various other direct-to-customer channels. Truth is, your online network and fan clubs are most likely to be your biggest asset when dealing with promotion companies and record labels. Also, make sure you are planning an appropriate roadmap for your goals. Breaking bigger goals down into a series of smaller goals is a good way of diving into how you plan on reaching them. Always make sure you write your goals down and grade yourself from time to time to make sure you stay on track. With the advent of the internet we all have every tool we ever need to plan the any future we want.

Using Tags and Blogs

Using Tags and Blogs By: Kip Batiz Utilizing your tags and blogs in your community websites can make a huge difference in how easily you can be found or discovered. These are actually among the first things that Google and other search engines scan first. Which if you look at logically makes perfect sense. People tend to browse images, stories, discussions, and reviews from other people in the online communities they frequent. This increases the value of these community sites and their content to search engines. Now the real formula to Google is a secret, but people have been trying to keep up with their continuously changing format for years. Properly tagged photos and blogs can also increase the search value to your own URL. If you are like every other band you have a diverse web presence. Multiple high value community sites that are tagged with your URL will eventually trigger the search engines to recommend your site through natural affiliation. Blogs are especially important as well. Most underground bands and artists do not take the time to set up proper blogs and blogging habits. Talking about relevant subjects on your blog will increase traffic through basic web searches. Just make sure you use tags the way they are meant to be used, if search engines catch on to you using trickery to increase traffic it will drop your value ratings and it is extremely difficult to regain that status. Also make sure to use a geographic tag with your photos, especially if you a traveling group. Heavy cultural relevance is given to web searches, as well as login location, and recently placed items and information.

The Longtail Theory by: Kip Batiz

The Longtail Theory by: Kip Batiz The longtail theory has only been relevant in recent times with the advent of digital marketing and storage. Basically the idea behind it is that people will continuously be able to purchase your product because there is no limit on digital storage for your music and movies. As long as you are able to advertise and market your products, in theory your previous album releases have the potential to create more revenue than your newly released albums and merch. As an example if you have 3 currently released albums at a 'discounted' price point ($7), and you are marketing a new album through the same release channels (ie.. itunes, napster, etc...) for a new release price ($15), the sales potential for your 'older' music becomes $21. It used to be that a record company would hire an album promoter or distributor to insure shelf space at your local or regional music stores. Convincing them that the product would surly move off the shelf and make money. That warehousing space is extremely valuable to stores like these because something that sits on a shelf for years takes up space that could be used for other 'hotter' ticket items. But now direct marketing and digital storage can skyrocket your sales cutting out countless middlemen in the process and maximizing your profit levels. As labels cling to their dwindling profits most high level artists with built in audiences are using their direct connections to their fans to drop remixes, special releases, and even new album and tour information. What a time to be an artist... -KB
