Little Rock

Sleeping in Circles honeyed their indie-post-grunge seminal single, Grey, with beguilingly artful melodicism.

Sleeping in Circles

 The Little Rock, Arkansas outfit, Sleeping in Circles, bridged the gap between Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden in their honeyed-with-melodicism standout single, Grey.

With sludgy hooks by the smorgasbord and a gruff yet soulfully smooth vocal melody striking enough that it will continue to reverberate through your consciousness long after the quiescent outro, Grey is an unforgettable indie release that stands as a testament to the trio’s songwriting chops.

Grey is the first single to be released from the upcoming LP, which is due for release in September 2023. If the rest of the album carries the same evocatively arrestive beguile of the title single, Sleeping in Circles will be the creators of the most seminal post-grunge album of the year.

Grey will be available to stream on all major platforms from August 25; hear it via their website.

She Knows I’m Gangsta: Arkansas rapper Amp Wayne builds up the heat on Reloaded (feat. Ed Dolo)

Posted on 11 September 2022

Dropped from his upcoming album Pressure, Amp Wayne is in no mood to mess around and straps up with his hardcore team who are ready for war if needed on his booty-bouncing new single Reloaded (feat. Ed Dolo).

Amp Wayne is a Little Rock, Arkansas-based hip hop artist who is mostly known for his songs DRACO and MONEY SHOWER with moneybagg yo.

Slicing the competition apart like a hungry lion and making some big statements that could stir up the hornets’ nest, Amp Wayne and Ed Dolo join forces rather well and show us their leader mentality with a rugged song to drink your tea with. Featuring a pounding beat that might catch you off guard, this quick-fire effort which is laden with that street mentality that shall keep many alive.

Reloaded (feat. Ed Dolo) from Little Rock, Arkansas-based hip hop artist Amp Wayne is a thunderously delivered single that shows us a bag-packed mentality that is only raising those stacks to the roof. Showing us that trip from poverty whilst also setting a warning out for those haters, that this is no time to get silly as their armoury is rather stockpiled like the military at the moment.

When you know you’re the best, leaving the noise to others is probably the best bet.
