Spotlight Feature: Chris Luke has made a soulfully interstellar return to the airwaves with his industrial cosmic rock track, Love’s Big Machine

After getting sync deals in shows, such as Beverley Hills 90210 and McKenna, and contributing to the OST in the 2021 film, The Girl Who Believes in Miracles, Chris Luke has released his first original single in two decades, Love’s Big Machine.

After a snarling industrial rock intro that establishes the Nine Inch Nails influence right off the bat, Love’s Big Machine starts to veer into a vibey euphonic hit that crosses timelines with its psych-pop nuances, classic rock structure and rock opera styling. It’s as spacey as Bowie, as upraising as a Christian & Gospel release, and thanks to the sporadic industrial touches, it’s as visceral as the similarly titled Pretty Hate Machine.

The Cleveland Ohio-hailing artist has definitively mastered the art of allowing pure expressive soul to resonate as infectiously catchy anthemic energy. We can’t wait to hear what follows.

Love’s Big Machine pulses with raw energy and heart. Both cacophonous and subdued, the lyrics celebrate the endless tumble of life and love, exploring themes of connection and isolation, with love as the driving force at the center. Part soundscape, part alt-rock-epic, Love’s Big Machine blends beauty and chaos in a unique, radio-friendly rock anthem.”

Thieves of Action County went into overdrive with their alt-rock track, ‘Here We Go Again’.

Californian alt-rock trio Thieves of Action Country are back with their sophomore single, Here We Go Again, and all guns are blazing in the fiery radio-ready rock stormer.

With their varied influences including everyone from Norah Jones to Rush, Here We Go Again comes charged with a soulfully driven sonic furore that won’t fail to make an impression on fans of classic rock and contemporary rock alike.

The forceful overdriven guitars make the perfect accompaniment for the emotive vocals and lyrics that compel the listener to find the strength to overcome adversity and alienation. Thieves of Action County make it pretty hard to refuse.

Thieves of Action County can be heard via Soundcloud.
