PLUSH 

PLUSH

Plush is a rock band with a mission to bring rock back to the forefront of the music industry. The band is composed of talented young women, ranging from 18-22, whose accomplishments and talent eclipse their age. Plush is fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist Moriah Formica. Guitarist Bella Perron, bassist Ashley Suppa and drummer Faith Powell. Plush’s self titled first album which was released in 2021and features the Billboard Top 40 charting singles "Hate" and "Better Off Alone." "Will Not Win" is a high-octane rock anthem that fires up listeners. 

Plush has been electrifying audiences during recent live performances across the United States supporting Kiss, Alice in Chains, Evanescence, Slash, Halestorm among others as well as on the big festival stages of Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life and Welcome to Rockville and more.

Plush is back with a new single “Left Behind” which showcases the band’s heavier side. “Left Behind” was recorded in Nashville with producers Zac Maloy, Blair Daly and Kile Odell, and is out now via Pavement Entertainment.

Lead vocalist Moriah Formica belts outs a fierce and aggressive range with vocal lines such as “We’re the cast-outs of society, one big, twisted family.” The ferocious riffs, down tuned guitars, and over the top vocals make this a rock anthem to be reckoned with. Check it out and let us know what you think. We think this is the next generation of rock and will bring it back in a strong way.

ALEXANDER MACK  

ALEXANDER MACK

Alexander Mack is a Virginia based singer, songwriter, rapper and producer who combines old-school forms of music like Jazz with modern Hip Hop. This unique blend of sounds along with Alexander’s catchy lyrics has created a whole catalog of tracks with confidence and swagger that have positioned him to explode into the emerging rap game. Although his father was a successful musician, Alexander still faced pressure to switch lanes into a more “normal” career from peers and professors who didn’t believe a career in music was possible. The negative people never phased him though, because the true supporters he found in his close friends and his Dad built up the unshakable confidence Alexander Mack is known for. 

 

 

One of my favorite songs of Alexander Mack is “Young Man”. It translates even more of Alexander’s positivity and focus into song, letting people know that even though he is young he isn’t naive. He considers himself a new face with the mind of a veteran, working harder and moving faster than any of his peers to catch up to his idols as quickly as he can. The light piano samples contrast perfectly with a killer saxophone breakdown that hits harder with every listen.

Alexander's latest release is “Materpeace”. The word play and the vocal breakdown are next level. He is one to keep your eye on.

AVA TOTON  

AVA TOTON

Thirteen year old rock prodigy Ava Toton thrills in newest release of 2 singles: Like A Girl and Embers 

At only 13 years old, Ava is already shredding her guitar to inevitable stardom. 

Ava Toton is a 13-year-old rock singer, guitarist, and songwriter from Northern California.  Her latest original song releases, ‘Like A Girl’, and ‘Embers’ will be released on all music platforms on 11/11/2022. ‘Like a Girl’ and ‘Embers’ follow her debut EP A.V.A. at 11 (2021) and the follow-up Charm School Dropout at 12 (2022). 

Ava writes her own music and co-writes her lyrics.  She also performs all guitar and vocals. 

The singles were produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Jacob Light at Modern Tone Studios in Lafayette, CA.  Jacob Light plays bass guitar and Gideon Berger (Useless ID, War Bison, Kill The Drive) is on drums. 

‘Embers’ is a driving, melancholic song about feeling down but not out, while ‘Like a Girl’ celebrates female empowerment.  Ava spent a lot of time working on the guitar solos for these songs, and they are worthy of repeat listening.  Ava is releasing these songs together because they represent the sometime wild swings of emotion many people experience on any given day.  Sort of the yin-yang of the average human navigating through daily life. 

When critiquing ‘Like A Girl’, master songsmith (and Ava’s songwriting idol) Desmond Child likened the song to the anthemic ‘Love is A Battlefield’ by Pat Benatar, with the underlying message of female empowerment. 

From a recent review from FuzzyHound of Ava’s Charm School Dropout EP: 

“Ava Toton has already become a huge inspiration to rockers everywhere, young and old. She wants to show the world that rock and roll is not dead and introduce this music to her generation.” 

Please visit https://www.avatoton.com/ to find out more about Ava Toton and her discography. Contact Lisa Toton (info@avatoton.com) for interviews, reviews and booking requests. 

 ABOUT 

Ava received her first guitar for her 5th birthday and started taking lessons at 6.  The rest is history.  Ava’s songwriting blossomed during the early lockdown days of COVID in 2020, and she continues to hone her writing. 

When she’s not shredding her guitar and composing rock songs, Ava Toton is your average 8th grader and loves playing video games and hanging out with her friends and family.  You can catch her live when she plays her original music as part of the teen band, Alpha Z.

Christopher Dallman  

CHRISTOPHER DALLMAN

After 1 album and 3 EPs with a folky vibe, Christopher Dallman ditches the acoustic guitar and sad-sack singer/songwriter sound on his transcendent new album DIGITAL BLUE.  With 13 distinct yet unified tracks, Dallman explores a bold and genre-bending soundscape that draws from Pop, Electronic, Alternative, and even Jazz, taking the listener on an evocative, cinematic journey. 

DIGITAL BLUE will be released to streaming one track at a time over the course of a year with a new song dropping on the first Friday of every month beginning May 2 2020 with the single NO SENSE IN REGRET featuring guest vocals by Julliard student and rising star Chantae Miller.  Previews of future tracks are available ahead of release upon request. DIGITAL BLUE will also be released on Limited Edition 12” Vinyl that ships in December and gives buyers 7 songs ahead of their digital release. 

A&R FACTORY says this about the single: “The haunting soundscape fuses elements of darkwave synth-pop with contemporary yet cinematic Indie, making No Sense in Regret as authentic as it is evocative. Debut singles don’t get much more promising than this.” 

Born and raised in Milwaukee, Dallman moved to New York City at 18, where he honed his chops at local open mics before signing with Treasure Records for his debut album RACE THE LIGHT. In 2004, Dallman relocated to Los Angeles, where he recorded 3 EPs, including SAD BRITNEY, a record of Britney Spears covers that reached #7 on the iTunes singer-songwriter charts. His video for GHOSTS reached #1 on MTVmusic.com. He has licensed his music to MTV’s The Real World, Hallmark, Lifetime, and various independent films. Dallman has toured the US and overseas, sharing the stage with the likes of Amos Lee, Jonathan Rice, Ben Lee, and Amy Helms.
