Is it even possible to walk away from something you love? Luckily for us Ben Hardy didn’t and brought four musicians together to form a revamped look at late 90’s, early 2000’s alt rock. 

Fear. The Sparrow feels all too familiar yet all new in the way they’re bringing their brand of rock to the scene. Maybe it’s their “20’s Rock” fashion or each band members unique backgrounds coming together to form their power-pop-rock sound. Either way, it’s worth the listen or WATCH! 

A quick stroll down the playlist will pull up a very unique album called https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT14ZygSbes (The Hum: Live at the 8), which we described as a “cinematic music event”. It’s definitely worth a watch as it is a very creative take on the “rock opera” albums. We got the skinny on the subtitled song https://music.apple.com/us/album/theft-of-me-cinematic-version/1583961803?i=1583961804 (Theft of Me) and what has become the fan favorite https://music.apple.com/us/album/drunk-dumb-cinematic-version/1583961803?i=1583961805 (Drunk and Dumb). 

Fear. The Sparrow also gives us a taste of their evolution so far with a listen of Tidal Wave and tells us that they’ve been hard at work writing and creating in the past year and plans on a “very busy 2022” with many more releases, PLUS they give us what songs help each of them tick with a very rock eclectic Top5!

https://www.facebook.com/ghostytheband/ (Ghosty) is a VERY tight knit band. Nayara, Charles, and Clay, have experienced a multitude of life events that have helped shaped them into a really fun group of friends that translates very well in their music. 

Starting out as college friends and, through the help of a class, formed a band with a sound that they describe as “dream-pop” and your first experience with this should be their school project turned single https://music.apple.com/us/album/letters-to-laurel-single/1460782435 (Letters to Laurel) . They talked about the experience of writing and producing while in school and how that helped propel their desire to do more.

They also shared how their collabs have also helped the evolution of their sound and how Charles and Clay’s other projects have helped Ghosty stay in it’s own space.

They shared 2 of their singles https://music.apple.com/us/album/honey-single/1503942599 (Honey) and https://music.apple.com/us/album/chance-single/1547190637 (Chance) and gave us a first for the show; an acoustic debut of their newest So Bad. 

We had some fun while the birthday boy, Charles, had his acoustic out; playing some of their favorite covers that only Ghosty can pull off. 

If that wasn’t enough of the music they each shared their Top5 that will have you hitting the max-volume button a lot!

https://www.facebook.com/tony.ross.14473 (YNOT)’s single https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOUbY2z4Ups (Blessing) is turning into just that for him. Not only is it making an impact with whomever hears it but also hitting a new stride finding it’s way on the https://www.amazon.com/More-Life-Tay-Epps/dp/B08LDYVT5Q#:~:text=Sean%20Foster%20is%20a%20second,the%20fear%20of%20the%20unknown.&text=Rentals%20include%2030%20days%20to,hours%20to%20finish%20once%20started. (AMAZON PRIME original “MORE TO LIFE”) soundtrack! 

YNOT has released the “perfect” song for 2020 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH7A9wCOmvU (NETFLIX AND CHILL) but also released a song called BACKWARDS at the start of the US lockdown that, now, seems to fit the times perfectly. We unpack this uncanny ability to “call it before it happens” and discuss his ability to write passionately and honestly. 

YNOT hasn’t let anything slow his creative process either collabing with other artists and finding time to work with his partner-in-creative, https://www.facebook.com/demetrius.l.yancey (Demetrius Lowkey Yancy). YNOT talks about their process, what’s on the horizon, and how the state of the world is helping fuel the passion for his music and performing.
