In a time when few artists and bands have anything meaningful to say with regard to bringing about revolutionary change, it does not hurt to flash back to actual changemakers and revolutionaries who would be raising hell if they were still here today.

The man who is probably the most powerful player in the music business, Irving Azoff, re-tweeted: "Dear Congress, it's not just Chicago sayin' it...". The tweet was originally from the band Chicago who recently released a new song called America. In a time when too few artists and bands are attempting to embarrass politicians who have been fucking up our once great country that has become a arrogant war mongering, currency diluting, drone using, bomb dropping, paranoid, spying police state, it is great too see any attempt whatsoever to embarrass the culprits and encourage American people to actually do something.
In 2011, Sia Tolno broke out with her record titled My Life. The song below was released in advance of the full record. It is a political song that talks about the political depression in her native Africa. This lady can really sing and is full of passion!

Below is a short video of Sia discussing her life, where she is from and details about her music & songs.
Music Television is pleased to present Trixie Whitley and the music video for Never Enough, which is the 2nd track from her 11 song album titled Forth Corner.
Her recordings contain all sorts of interesting electric guitar sounds with an underlying intrinsic etherealness to it that is all her own. Bubbling & brewing at the roots of the songwriting seems to be a soulfulness with a real syncopated funk with minimalist beats.
Whitley is a true original with integrity, not clawing for fame, just keeping it real. She has the kind of songs that grow on you, not always upon first listen. Her songs are like da kine creeper, meaning the more you listen, the more you get it and like it :)
