Denton, TX five-piece my point of you are excited to share their debut EP, This is my first heist, available everywhere via Houston’s Rite Field Records. Melodies unravel across 4 songs, with mathy riffs and emo-tinged vocals to match.

We drew inspiration from our own lives to create lyrics and instrumentation that are both real and emotional,” says my point of you. “We didn’t expect it to turn out this way, but we’re really proud of it. Our writing style is all about being honest and true to ourselves, exploring emotions and ideas that are close to our hearts, like dealing with change, overcoming relationship problems, and being open and vulnerable.”

Hide and Shine are thrilled to unveil their sophomore album The Red Core, out today. Hide and Shine explore themes of interdimensional existence, the power of transformation, and the ability to tune into oneself while tuning out the extraneous noise.
Over the course of two albums, the band has crafted a distinctive sound by blending a wide range of influences into something uniquely their own. The first attempt to describe Hide and Shine’s music resulted in a tongue-in-cheek label: “An Art Death Indie Post-Punk Country Rock Alternative.” Fortunately, various record store staff proved more helpful, drawing comparisons that placed the band somewhere between the raw, literary punk of The Replacements, the ferocious sweetness of Dinosaur Jr., and the brooding introspection of Radiohead, with clear nods to grunge, classic metal, country, and rock.
“Our sound is more than just a reflection of what we listen to. It includes the people and experiences that are absorbed along the way.”
THE RED CORE IS OUT NOW – LISTEN

This is the new single from unique singer-songwriter, Eddy Lee Ryder. After releasing her first full-length album, Sweet Delusions, in late 2024, Ryder wanted to give her brain a break from writing, but an encounter with a neighbor changed her mind.
Ryder was sitting at the beloved Woodstock, NY restaurant, The Red Onion, when someone asked if she was leaving (so they could take her seat). Ryder said no, but that she thought another woman may be. That woman, who looked to be around 70, turned and said, “Honey, I’m just getting started.” Her name was Rose, and throughout the rest of the evening, she regaled Ryder with stories of her four boyfriends, ages 31 – 74. It turned out that the youngest had previously asked Ryder on a date. Rose suggested sharing, but Ryder declined.
“We talked until they turned off the lights of the restaurant,” Ryder recalls. “And the song ‘Rose’ was born.”
Ryder was inspired to write a collection of songs about the colorful characters in/around Woodstock, and “Rose,” is the first from that collection.
