 Press Quotes

“This group always brings top drawer tunage”

– Music Is Truth (Station), Indie Music People

“Barley Station is a rare breed of band that successfully combines all of your favorite genres into a unique sound of their own.”

– Jan Ostegard, Entertainment Vine 

“Rootsy alternative country at its best… ‘I Found You’ will find itself at home in any country music fan’s collection.”

– Eric De Fontenay, Music Dish Journal

“They blend alternative country and rootsy folk-rock into a style that has all the pop appeal of the classic Jayhawks records, but remains earthy and resolutely unpolished. It’s a win / win for me, and I’m sure they’d appeal to both No Depression readers and fans of first generation country rock”

– Leicester Bangs (UK)

“Barley Station has an addictive “twang” about their music that, honestly, I never knew I liked. In fact, I had to make a new category in the Genre section for Country just for them.”

-Marsbands.com

“this group is not one to get labeled into one specific genre of music. I say kudos to them for branching out and making music they want to make.”

– Maxim Daniels, IT’s All About That Music

“it’s clear that this is a band that is going in a consistent, forward direction and show no signs of stopping.  “Double Star” is brilliant in its Immaculate Conception, composition, and imagery that is evoked when listening but it is also just a small piece of the pie when you consider the capacity and the quality of music that the band has already produced and recorded.”

-CA Marshall in Starlight Music Chronicles Magazine

Born to an outlaw biker father and 16 year old mother, R.W. Roldan came of age in the Los Angeles of the 60’s and 70’s. His family spent a few years homeless, prompting him to join the navy at 17. His young life was full of hard circumstances and difficult environments but Roldan always seemed to soften things with his easy knack for storytelling.

Upon returning to California from his time abroad, R.W. worked all around the San Fernando Valley, immersing himself in the blues and Americana scene. He gravitated towards music and poetry, appreciating contemporary wordsmiths like Dylan and Dr. Seuss as much as American treasures such as Yates and began crafting his own indelible blend of country blues folk rock – a sound that lands somewhere between Hank Williams and Cowboy Junkies.

R.W. now splits his time between his house in the Topanga hills and a newly-purchased dwelling that once belonged to Fatty Arbuckle in Silverlake, where he’s building a studio in the basement. It was professed to be haunted for the past 12 years, but R.W. found it a suitably creative environment to craft the songs on his official solo outing, Can You Feel This, due out August 17th.

The new LP puts Roldan’s adept storytelling front and center, backed by his easy going guitar, mandolin and dobro chops. Tracks like “Big Skies” and “Falling Star” paint an authentically haunting, nostalgic panorama of Los Angeles, while laidback ballads such as “Lauryn’s Song” reveal a sweeter side to the man. It’s all melted in the sweet butter sauce of producer Max Allyn who recently signed R.W. to his AllsWell Records imprint out of Nashville. 
Can You Feel This is out now on all platforms. Vinyl and other merchandise is available at AllswellRecords.com

DJ CYRE, a well known artist from Stuttgart in Southern Germany sky-rocketed up on his career path since the year 1999. Either as resident and host of Trance. Mission in Ludwigsburg – or as guest-dj at the recent in-events all over Germany – he totally convinced the partycrowd and pushed the people on the dancefloor to sheer ecstasy.

This and last year the guy from Stuttgart had several major bookings in his agenda: for example Talla 2XLC’s legendary TechnoClub in Frankfurt, Germany’s biggest technoparade called Beat Parade in Empfingen or a guest gig at Ocean.971 in Ibiza. And now even the famous Nature One Festival 2012 is history, where he filled up the Tunnel Trance Force Floor with massive trance-anthems and rocked more than 1.000 partypeople with his sound. DJ Cyre has set out to give the Germans a better understanding of Progressive Trance and to duly represent his home Europe-wide…

Nigerian singer Yemi Alade, who recently featured on Beyoncé’s ‘The Lion King: The Gift’ album, as one of nine prominent African artists; as a means to add that extra level of authenticity to the African tale. It’s been a long journey, for opportunities like this present itself to the native Nigerian pop-afrobeat star who is currently in the process of releasing her fourth studio album. To-date the singer has amassed an impressive catalogue of songs, that have created a frenzy in nightclubs across the globe. One such recent release in ‘Bounce’. Which was released only two months ago.

Yet Alade’s fans have been somewhat restless awaiting the release of her fourth studio project – Woman of Steel, which was scheduled for release a month ago. As a means to appease her fans the afrobeat star dropped a couple more single releases – ‘Home’ and ‘Give Dem’.

‘Home’ a little slower and more traditional is an emotional piece. Whist ‘Give Dem’ is a more high-energy afrobeat track.  Along with these two single releases Alade also released some artwork teasers, a very regal and impressive image of herself dressed in what seems to be the outfit of an Egyptian Empress such as Nefertiti or MerNeith.

It is now anticipated that the ‘Woman of Steel’ album will finally be released on the 30th August.

Big Al Staggs’ new single / video “Been There Done That” is the first of 10 songs off the brand new “SoLo” album that features 10 freshly cooked original compositions. 

If you aren’t uplifted by the message, energy and positivity, go see a doctor. This isn’t just another song, it’s an uplifting moment, a tangible positive force that this battered society so desperately needs.

His storied career with the Left Wing Fascists and Moaning Lisas has fueled this epic offering of sheer energy, good vibes and terrific storytelling. 

Speaking of storytelling, the lyrical content is one that every man and some ladies can surely relate to. 

The tribal chant accompanying Big Al on lead vocals resets the stage for glimpses and memories of nights he can’t remember with friends that he’ll never forget. Just when you’d thought “you’d been there and done that”, “you ain’t seen the likes of her”; a life altering partner who’ll show you “you ain’t seen nothin’ yet”!

This new single and video is produced and directed by the former lead guitarist for Iggy Pop and David Bowie, Stacy Heydon. Stacy is also known for his production work of the rock band Sheriff’s #1 Billboard Hot 100 single “When I’m with You” (Capitol Records).  

The music video was filmed in San Clemente CA, and includes actual real life events unfolding as the crew moved from location to location (the arrest scene and the girl in the Target parking lot removing her warmed up burrito from the running engine of her parked car)… yes really!

A perfect fit for the “Been There Done That” theme.

Big Al is from Norfolk Virginia, but his writing is from the heart and his vocal delivery is from his soul.

Check out this new single and please contact us for the complete album release set for this January 1, 2020.
