Collegial rockers Arkells release new single 'Only for a Moment'

Those sons of the Hammer have a new album, Rally Cry, forged and ready. Singles are being issued, “People’s Champ”, “Relentless” and now “Only for a Moment.” There’s movement in the camp, they are as the Hawk says, heading for the Big Time, Its right around the corner.

"There’s a line in our tune “Come To Light”, 'The underpass would keep us from harm.' It’s that moment when you’re driving through a rain storm, and you have a second of respite from the chaos outside. I find myself writing and thinking about those moments of calm, and how important they can be. “Only For A Moment” is an extension of that idea. My friend’s mom was struggling with some oppressive mental health issues. It was tough for everyone in her family. But there was a moment we were out one night, where my friend seemed to leave the trouble behind - just for an hour - and could just enjoy her life. The stress in her face seemed to disappear. And I was happy she could have that."  - Max Kerman

Also the Ham fam have released the video for “Relentless”

Who knew? Lots going on with Kalyna who has a sweet Amy Winehouse vibe, a little Jully Black, a little Serena Ryder. Lots going on and not just in the song from her new album, her fourth, "Before & After You" now available. Along with a lyric video which was drawn by Kalyna, the album comes with a hand drawn 24 four page comic telling the story of the album and which includes lyrics and liner notes. AND . . . the record is a two-part concept album, the before and the after. So after all that settle in, look, listen, read, immerse yourself in Rakei.
