The DIY Artists Discovery

  Musician, producer, composer, singer, DeLaurentis is one and more.  ©dominiquegau  It’s the story of a French little girl who would watch her dad playing music, and quickly understood that musical notes could spring up and fly away from her arms, her hands, her fingers. The music was a part of her. With this revelation, the sky opened up to her. After several years spent at the Conservatory, she went back to her hometown, where alone, she learned from her new strange friends : keyboards, machines, and computers. She worked. A lot. With strength and temper, pleasure and ease. This young woman progressively became DeLaurentis. DeLaurentis settled in the French capital, Paris, in 2015, and released her first two EPs. She started to get noticed then, with her unique universe and music videos. Major French publications such as Trax, Rock & Folk and Les Inrockuptibles started talking about her music , and soon after, some of her songs were featured in national comme...

  Homer Marrs       Featured on the cover of the September issue of Bear World Magazine, Homer Marrs releases his new song “ Ben ,” that he describes as “ the acoustic ballad Morrissey and Billy Corgan haven't had the chance to co-write yet.” An alt-rock pining for unrequited love, the song features bleeding-heart crooning over undulating chords. The title was selected as a nod to Michael Jackson, Crispin Glover, and Veruca Salt.  The video explores a performer’s process of coping with heartache and trying to make art during the grieving process while forcing himself to continue in his craft. The lyrics allude to alcoholism, substance abuse, regret, humiliation, and shame.  Homer Marrs was discovered nationwide for his live performance of “ The Facebook Song ” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in support of the first National UnFriend Day, the Los Angeles–based indie rock musician Homer Marrs is back, after the success of his song “ Happy Pride from the End of the ...

  Buel     BUEL ’s dreamy universe and distinct style delivers her new song "Small Talk" with her sobriety, precision and class signature.     “Small Talk is about the ingenuine daily conversations between people. Even Though it’s pretty common and seen as an innocent aspect of our daily lives, I observed that oftentimes it tends to make people feel uncomfortable because talking to someone without giving any depth and sharing words to pass the moment can only be kind but not real.” -- Buel   MUSIC VIDEO Directed, produced, imagined by BUEL   Based in Los Angeles, BUEL is a multi-talented artist ; from her Indie-Pop songs’ compositions, arrangements, music video directions to stylism and visuals, BUEL handles everything with taste and perfection, and was awarded for her work, with “ Lemon Smile”, winning the 2021 London Music Video Festival, one of the most important film festivals for music video makers.   BUEL was remarked in 2019 by A...

  Chainsaw Rainbow   CHAINSAW RAINBOW is the minimal, raw and primitive solo project of L.A.-based singer-songwriter / guitarist / producer / auteur DOMINIC MASSARO.  Dark and meditative, “Blonde with dark roots” , is the opening song of his new album Pink Noise Overdrive. Combining warped drones, pulsing noisy distorted guitars and colorful lyrics , CHAINSAW RAINBOW has released several albums in recent years, including “Fashion Show,” which, in 2018, was named one of the Top 10 California shoegaze albums of the year by “Shoegazer Alive Blog.” In the tradition of bands like THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, JESUS AND MARY CHAIN and MY BLOODY VALENTINE, CHAINSAW RAINBOW continues that creative path where noise and pop song structures intersect, and adds a mix of psychedelia and overdriven guitar crunch. Featured in MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE, CHAINSAW RAINBOW has licensed songs through RED QUEEN MUSIC and toured the world, opening for BARBWIRE DOLLS, EFG, HOTT MT, WET & RECK...

  Sinner Sinners     After spending the last several years living, performing and thriving in the greater Los Angeles, CA area, punk-influenced rock band SINNER SINNERS – founded by husband and wife duo Sam and Steve Thill – have incontrovertibly found their groove. After marching their way onto the national scene in 2014 with the release of their raucous, aggressive Nic Jodoin-produced (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) second full-length, XI, SINNER SINNERS return in March 2017 with Optimism Disorder – an auditory Molotov cocktail exploding with the intensity of early ’80s hardcore fused with an incendiary ’70s goth punk ethos. “This record took 18 months to complete – we went through some very tough shit in our lives during this time, which is the main reason it took so long.
