Watch the Scott McCloud video for Make It To Forever, the title track from his new album: "His husky vocals will be appreciated by fans of Bob Mould, Henry Rollins and Iggy Pop. Life has provided him with enough hassles and bruises, but he shows his scars with pride. He is still standing, with a take it or leave it attitude."

Dutch folk noir band The Bullfight have added a couple of shows to their tour in The Netherlands to promote their latest album 81 Bedford St., a soundtrack for a film noir movie that does not exist: "Most soundtracks are connect-the-dots affairs, with a few well-known popular songs and a run-of-the-mill theme that a composer won't lose any sleep over to create to something memorable. Not so for 81 Bedford St. on which the band's resident writer and multi-instrumentalist Thomas van Vliet went above and beyond with a bunch of songs that are closely linked to create a narrative, but also can hold their own and be enjoyed as such. There is jazz, industrial noise, torch singing, avant-garde, pastoral violin driven baroque pop, and much, much more."
Chicago-based Americana singer Jules Klee tackles the ups and downs in a thorny relationship on her new single He Don't Know A Thing. A craving for illegal substances, loss and various less challenging issues could not stop her from persevering and she was rewarded with a Hollywood ending of sorts. She is blessed with a crystal clear delivery - country twang included - that should get her on stage on the Grand Ole Opry some day.
Johnny Marr has shared Ophelia, another single from his forthcoming new album The Age Of Everything. It is a fine piece of jangling pop goodness, and quite a bit of echo on the vocals, urging the woman in question to let go for a bit and don't be so damn serious all of the time.
