Girl Tears - Tension - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The first iteration of what would become Blue Tears began in the fall of 1982, when Gregg Fulkerson (lead guitar), was a senior at Chester County High School and Mike Spears (bass), Bryan Hall (rhythm guitar) and Phil Johns were students at Freed Hardeman University. The band was originally called Misfit. Through the next several years the band had a couple of name changes (NonStop, Sahara) and several vocalists and drummers came and went. The band made several recordings in Gregg's basement, but the first official recording was of their song InchStay With MeInch which was recorded at the Castle Recording Studio in Nashville, TN. InchStay With MeInch received much regional radio station airplay, and peaked at #2 on 92.3 FM Jackson, TN. The combination of radio airplay, devoted fans and multiple sold-out concerts at the Paramount and Malco theaters caught the attention of record industry professionals. One of these recordings landed on the desk of a Los Angeles-based record company. They signed a recording contract with MCA Records soon after. The band also changed their name to Blue Tears just two months prior to releasing their debut album. Blue Tears was made up of founding members Gregg Fulkerson, Mike Spears and Bryan Hall. They were re-joined by Charlie Lauderdale on drums. The debut album was released in June 1990 with lead single InchRockin' With the RadioInch getting a music video. A second single, InchInnocent KissInch also received heavy promotion. The album was originally titled InchThunder in the NightInch and was promoted as such but was eventually changed to a self-titled . Unfortunately, the band was dismissed as just another glam metal act in the genres fading wave. Blue Tears entered the studio in 1991 and banged out new tracks for a second album. The tracks included InchLong Way HomeInch, InchKisses In The DarkInch, InchWith You TonightInch, InchFol

Teno Afrika's 2020 debut InchAmapiano SelectionsInch drew an international wave of support sparked by the producer's deftly minimal take on the emergent style. Amapiano combines the South African predilection for deep house alongside a melange of endemic influences like kwaito, jazz and gqom. The 20-year-old's new crop of songs InchWhere You AreInch expands on his rhythmic subtlety hooded in warm bass adorned by amapiano's telltale shakers, hi-hats and mid-tempo shuffle. Lutendo Raduvha hails from Pretoria, South Africa, where he produces music incessantly and DJ's parties around Gauteng province. He hangs with a crowd of musical friends, many of whom join him on InchWhere You Are.Inch For his second album Teno Afrika brings more vocalists into the sonic picture, unlocking an emotive and timbral escalation to his rapidly mushrooming catalog of work.Singers Leyla and Kaycee feature on the title track and InchFall In Love,Inch respectively. Regular cohort Diego Don joins for two driving, pad-propelled works of significant vibrancy, InchSK LoveInch and InchAK Love.Inch The album's dramatic closer InchDuma ICUInch features another returning collaborator, Stylo Musiq, who helps bring an icy, almost cinematic conclusion to a slice of the sound Teno Afrika is pushing at the moment. There's a palpable feeling of not knowing where the young producer might go next. Album Tracks 1. Where You Are (Feat. Leyla) 2. SK Love 3. Bells 4. Fall in Love (Feat. Kaycee) 5. Gomora Groove 6.

Happy Tears is the debut album from 49th & Main. A duo known for combining sharp electronic, UKG and jazz-infused house with emotive indie and pop influenced songwriting.

It's a powerful statement from a duo whose sound resonates with a loyal and growing fanbase that have sold out recent tours both sides of the Atlantic.
