Gabe Lopez CD Release of "Shine Like the Sun" interview with Mikey Jayy, Ep 118

Great Unknowns Presents — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 18:38:47 GMT

Gabe Lopez is a Pop Rock / Dance artist from Los Angeles, CA. He's not just a singer, but he's an excellent writer and producer. Gabe has worked with several indie and well known and artists and he had a rare opportunity to write a few songs exclusively for James Brown. Unfortunately, Brown died and the song may never get released, but hopefully it will.

Working behind the scenes in the television and music industry, Gabe Lopez has been able to pursue a long life passion and that's to release his own music. In 2008, Gabe release his first album entitled, "This is About You", but his true talent is revealed in his album just released today called, Shine Like the Sun.

Shine Like the Sun, not only sounds better engineered, it reflects Gabe's maturity as a developed artist. Songs like "Boomerang" with it's club flare, he also gives his listeners a variety, including my personal favorite, "Into the Sun" for the orchestra ensemble quality, which show he's risen above sounding like other artists and honed in on his own identity. The song that really impressed me was, "No Hate". Just like the title, the song reflects the frustration related to Proposition 8 and how it generated so much hate against the LGBT community. Gabe Lopez was asked to write a song that represented their peaceful movement against a law that promoted hate disguised as "family values". Not only is it an entertaining song, it shows that he is also a gifted writer.

Listen to special live CD release interview with Gabe Lopez on The Great Unknowns Presents. Hear exclusive music only heard on this show.

Songs on the show include: "Boomerang", "No Hate", "Masquerade", and "Saboteur".

“Stop & Go” Interview with Deer Park Avenue, Episode117

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 13:56:13 GMT

Mikey Jayy of The Great Unknowns Presents heads to Basal, Switzerland to interview rock band, Deer Park Avenue.

Featured on KOVR Good Day Sacramento and several radio stations, Deer Park Avenue has a sound that fits somewhere in between Green Day, Collective Soul, and Paramore. Unlike a lot of indie bands that tend to sound like everyone else and feel repetitive, Deer Park Avenue’s edgy pop rock sound keeps it light and fun, and they stay away from the category of drab or dull.

LIVE Interview with Casino: "Sainte Rose"

Great Unknowns Presents — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:13:32 GMT

Casino is a four-man Power-Pop / Rock band with Joey Berlangieri, Marc Gebrayel, Corey Biondi, and Michael

Inside the province of Quebec and just outside of Montreal is a city called. Laval. Coincidentally the city of Laval’s has a motto, “Unity, Progress, and Greatness”. This motto firmly defines the Laval local band, Casino.

Casino is a four-man Power-Pop / Rock band with Joey Berlangieri, Marc Gebrayel, Corey Biondi, and Michael Berlangieri. Formed in 2008, this band didn’t spur from out of nowhere into a sensation right away, instead they started as most bands do, which was an idea, dedication, combined with hard work.

Initially, it started out with a lighthearted idea with Joey and Marc wanting to create music purely for fun. Later on, they discovered they wanted more and collaborated with the further idea of starting an actual band. This led to the addition of Joey’s younger brother and drummer, Michael. Later came Cory on bass.

Together with their intense desire to write songs and create great music that would inspire their listeners, they managed to fuse a sound that crosses comparison with The Killers, The Bravery, and Blonde Redhead.

On June 16 is the official release of Casino’s release of “Sainte Rose” EP and the release of their first music video for the song “Graceful” directed and produced by Jimmi Francoeur. "Sainte Rose" is a six track CD featuring songs like, “Graceful”, ‘Funeral”, “Apple Shaped Heart”, and “Goodbye”. These four songs are available to listen to in their entirety with an exclusive interview with Joey, Marc, Corey, and Michael live on The Great Unknowns Presents and All Indie Magazine.

Combining Dance and Electro with Soul: Meet Elle Vee

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:32:16 GMT

Welcome to episode 112!

Introducing Elle Vee. Elle's an extremely talented 21-year-old singer/songwriter from Northridge, CA. Ranging from a cross genre style of Dance meets Electro meets R&B and Pop Rock, Elle Vee is definitely an artist to keep an eye on.

Elle Vee didn't just come out of nowhere. Very skilled on the piano, Elle Vee is also a talented writer that began at the age of 11. Not only does Elle write songs for herself, she also writes for other recording artists.

So, who does this beautiful starlet sound like? There are so many qualities about Elle Vee's new music that compares her to several major artists and other fellow indie artists like Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, and indie sensation LIGHTS and Audrianna Cole. Some of Elle Vee's newest music includes, "I Like Girls", "Midnight Lover", "The Enemy", and "Translator" which are all songs that mainstream lacks. Like these tracks, all her music is well produced, composed, and performed, more importantly these songs should be trending modern pop culture because they are that good.

With that said, Elle Vee is not just your typical dance and party only music artist, in fact she has a ballad feature that is hard to ignore. Songs that stand out are "Playing with Fire", "Lost in Lust", and one of course my personal favorites,"Don't Wait". Elle's poses a voice that has a soft and tender vulnerability to it that lures and captivates your senses.

Interview with Joy Valencia: "Waking the Lion"

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:02:13 GMT

Joy Valencia is a talented singer/songwriter originally from a Chicago, IL. Joy attended college in Boston, MA where she met her husband who is also her co-writer and co-producer. Currently, they live in Los Angeles were they released her self-title debut EP.

Maybe it is due to her Farfisa electric organ in the song, “Don’t Wak the Lion”, but Joy’s music is a unique mixture of psychedelic melodies of today tied in with retro 1960’s “Psychedelic Era” pop music. The late 60’s brought upon a music era unlike no other time in history. It was a period when music was at a brink of incredible change and it brought about a nation of “togetherness”. Music from artists like, Sweetwater, The Chocolate Watch Band, Fifty Foot Hose, The Mamas & The Papas, and of course The Beatles were most popular of the time. Some of Joy’s direct influences for her music are unmistakable with her inspiration by artists like The Zombies, The Beatles, The Association, Shirley Bassey, & Donovan.

In her songs, “If You Love Me”, there are other hints of contemporary Jazz. With the song, “It’s a Beautiful Day” there are distinct hints of Cabaret from the late 1920’s. No matter which era Joy tried to capture, it works and makes Joy Valencia one of the most intriguing music artists of the year and I look forward to more music by the talented artist.

Interview with Asking Alexandria: "Reckless & Relentless"

Great Unknowns Presents — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:29:32 GMT

Currently on their Reckless & Relentless worldwide tour, Asking Alexandria made a tour stop in Los Angeles. I got a one-on-one interview with the band, so please listen in and check out music from Stand Up and Scream and Reckless and Relentless right here on The Great Unknowns Presents

Read the full CD review on All Indie Magazine

Originating from North Yorkshire, England, metal/synthcore band Asking Alexandria has previously released one full CD Stand Up and Scream, an EP, Life Gone Wild, and debuting April 5th is their latest full length LP, Reckless and Relentless.

When Asking Alexandria’s originally released their debut album, Stand Up and Scream in September of 2009, their hollowing screams, bellowing growls, crashing guitars, and electro-tech laced music just felt like it could not get any better, but their newest CD proved me wrong. In fact, they “killed” it.

Just as they started Stand Up and Scream, Reckless and Relentless begins with a building interlude that immediately draws the listener in, then comes “Dear Insanity” that nearly rips your face off with ripping cords played by Ben Bruce, Cameron Liddell, and Sam Bettley and machine-gun drum-kicking from James Cassells.

Music in this episode include, “A Prophecy”, “Alerion”, “The Final Episode”, and “Morte et Dabo”.

Interview with Electro Synth Pop artist, Alphanaut: "From Moonbase Alpha"

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 17:25:04 GMT

Combining modern ambient and electro tones with a touch of retro synth-pop of the mid-80’s, comes Mark Alan of Alphanaut.

The best way to describe the listening experience of Alphanaut is like traveling through a space-time continuum with visualizations through music. Some may refer to this as psychedelic rock or even avant-garde synth, music that was popular among artists like Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Art of Noise, and Enigma. Creatively, Alphanaut is much more complex and combines some of each to create a whole new style.

Interview with Nikki Forova: "Skylines in the Sunlight"

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 19:28:05 GMT

Nikki Forova is a Pop singer/songwriter that compares to the likes of Vanessa Carlton, Imogen Heap, Tori Amos, and Regina Spektor.

In October of 2010, Nikki entered and won the MTV Duets contest out of thousands of entries. After a private visit from a representative of MTV, Nikki was flown out to New York for a rare opportunity engagement to perform the song, “A Thousand Miles” with Vanessa Carlton herself and was aired on MTV television show, "MTV Duets".

Her craftsmanship on the piano is more than just elegant. Songs like “Sky Writer” and “Revving Wings” grasp that inner feeling of intense emotion. The combination of Nikki’s powerful vocals serene musical melody, especially in “After Today” and “Little Green Piece of Life” capture such intense feelings of incredible beauty, that it feels like falling in love. That’s putting it lightly.

Music like this is very powerful and every song from the Revving Wings CD is worth owning.

Inside & Out with Liz Seaver: Interview and Music Preview of "Final Alter"

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:56:40 GMT

Liz Seaver is a young Pop Folk singer/songwriter from Skerries of Dublin, Ireland. The big news in 2010 was when Liz nearly became the €10,000 winner of the YouBloom contest. While she didn’t win the grand prize, she placed respectively with a top 5 finish amongst thousands of competing artists and bands.

Typically, I can pinpoint who an artist compares to, but with Liz, I had a hard time finding a match. That is the beauty Liz Seaver. It is her uniqueness.

While she may fit within the folk pop genre, her subtle music and angelic vocal style make her stand out as her own brand. Together with original lyrics and staying clear of mundane phrases that are common in most music. Instead, you are pulled into each and every story within the song, especially in the songs, “Inside Out”, “I Knew”, and “The One”.

During our live interview, Liz and I discuss her newest project and sample four tracks from her new CD called, “Final Alter”, which is currently being recorded and set for release prior to spring 2011.

Great Unknowns Presents — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:59:16 GMT

Jennings is an amazing Pop singer/songerwriter from Nashville, New York and she is not a stranger to The Great Unknowns Presents. Jennings introduced the show back in July of 2009 and we did an interview for print to discuss her album, "Storybook" and then we did a follow up interview in January 2010 during the release of her 5-track EP, "Extended Chapter 1", but we never spoke during a live interview.

Like every artist that appears on this show, we stay in contact and so it had to be done. Before she went back out on tour to promote her new album and before the holiday’s, I had the chance to sit down and record an awesome interview with Mary Jennings of Jennings.

Another page of Jennings story book has turned as we reflect on the 2010 year as we discuss her personal struggles, successes, and she shares a few personal stories that very few people know about her during this special live interview.

Interview with Jewelzz Patrick "Measuring up to the Competition"

Great Unknowns Presents — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 01:52:20 GMT

Jewelzz Patrick is an R&B, Soul, and Pop artist that currently resides in Las Vegas, but he's originally from the "Motown" city of Detriot, IL. Jewelzz is not just a performer, he is also a producer.

Coming off his debut CD entitled, "Body Language" is one of the better listening debut digital albums on the indie market comparing to Usher, Babyface, Robin Thicke, Eric Roberson, and his vocal quality compares to the legendary recording artist, Stevie Wonder. It has been a hit on internet radio stations, but online sales and lack of wide fan support has has not reflected the quality of his music and has become one of the least performing albums for 2010.

However, the number of hits and the qauntity of "Like's"and the the number of listens on MySpace do not prove it is not a great album. "Body Language" is not short of pure entertainment. Songs worth mention that has mainstream potential are songs, "Make You Wanna", "Pretty Girl", and "Do it Again feat. Dollah Jones", and the title song, "Body Language".

Even though the success of his first album is still relatively early for a brand new release, Jewelzz Patrick is already back in the studio and is in the process of creating his new better album called, "Fo'ever".

Peter Doran "Sleepless Streets" An in-depth audio interview in Ireland

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 01:49:10 GMT

Peter Doran’s music style compares with Damien Rice, David Grey, and Amos Lee. Lyrically, Doran’s style compares to the artistry of Bob Dylan and Neil Young, but remains very much an original writer and he stays clear of forced lyrics, an often trait that many novice songwriters are compelled to overdo.

“Sleepless Streets” is a rich blend of natural sounds and it stirs clear from popular rock music. It isn’t mundane nor does the album laying waste alongside in a sea of average acoustic rock bands.

The Alternates presented by The Great Unknowns Presents, Ep 63

Great Unknowns Presents — Thu, 13 May 2010 03:55:31 GMT

Alternative rock band, The Alternates is a six man band from North Hollywood. Lead singer and guitarist delivers the goods with his robust but gentle voice that easily compares closely to Michael Stipe of R.E.M. Overall, the band stands alone with their unique and unmatched modern rock sound.

Since head-lining the Pre-Grammy award show at the Kress, the band has been stealing the local spotlight in some of the hottest venues that Los Angeles has to offer.

Forewalls presented by The Great Unknowns Presents

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 14:01:26 GMT

Pure unadulterated emotion that is infectious and addicting is what comes to mind when describing music by a young four man group from Chino Hills, CA. Forewalls is an alt rock-punk band that has a very marketable sound that is both mainstream and commercial friendly, but they still maintain that fresh sound that is underground yet popular and original.

Their debut untitled album which is still in pre-production currently have four songs that are featured on Facebook and MySpace demonstrate a pop appeal that could compare with Simple Plan, Green Day, The Stills, with a combination of a few 80’s bands like Psychedelic Furs and The Plimsouls.

[BRËN] presented by The Great Unknowns Presents, Ep 57

Great Unknowns Presents — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:15:12 GMT

Classified in a category entirely of his own, BRËN’s style of music fits nicely within the musical realm of Alternative Rock, Progressive Rock, and Modern Rock. One may compare BRËN to the likes of 3 Doors Down, Alice in Chains, Shine Down, ill Nino, even Finger Eleven, and Papa Roach.

BRËN brings back that soulful sound of rock that has been slowly disappearing from mainstream radio. It is a real treat to sit back listen to his music.

Songs like "Only Human", "Worth the Weight", and "Epic" are the antidote to the monotonous garbage played on today's radio and the prescription for the endless insanity which is the Los Angeles freeway system.

With BRËN plugged into the stereo and the volume turned all the way up, the windows down, listeners can actually look forward to the long drives on the torturous highways.

Mika Cole presented by The Great Unknowns Presents, Ep 56

Great Unknowns Presents — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 01:26:43 GMT

Mika Cole is a natural talent. Her voice is very compelling, sweet, soft, and a voice that deserves mainstream recognition and attention. Her talent is not only restricted to her voice either. She is well diverse in art of piano, guitar, violin, flute, congas, and she writes her own music and lyrics. Mika's seductive voice resembles closely with the big voice of Toni Braxton and Christina Aguilera.

From a long line of singers, songwriters, and talented musicians, it was inevitable that Mika Cole would eventually discover her place in the world of music. As a child she learned several musical instruments, including her preferred instrument, the acoustic guitar.

The Great Unknowns Presents on Edgy Reviews and Interview with Ariel Publicity

Great Unknowns Presents — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:42:30 GMT

On February 9th, The Great Unknowns Presents was featured on the hit show, Edgy Podcast Reviews. This is a show where hosts, Daniel and Jana will review up to three shows and give a break down and critique each one. My show, the Great Unknowns Presents was featured in episode 91. If you want to read their full review of this show, go to Edgy Podcast Reviews<----click here

On February 10, Michael J was featured in an interview with Ariel Publicity.

Q) Tell us a little bit about your podcast. What inspired you to start it?

A) My podcast started as a hobby really. Originally, it was a class project for my journalism class. The podcast option was open to several ideas and I wanted to come up with something that would showcase my talent as a radio host, but also provide a service. Since radio is over done and played out by the “mainstream payola giants”, I wanted to feature artists that no one has heard of. If people had heard of these artists, I wanted to re-introduce these artists to other people. What started out as a mere college program turned into something much greater.
When I received an invite from Ariel Publicity and after I had won two prestige’s awards for best college podcast, I realized that this was more than just a project and I took it to the next level and I began to track my track statistics. With the help of Ariel Publicity, I began showcasing unsigned artists and I moved my show from a free podcast hosting site to a pay site for better quality and for more storage space. Since my very first show, I have been constantly improving my format and it has paid huge dividends and I created a huge following that went from 300 listeners per week to nearly 2,500 listeners per week. When I placed my podcast on iTunes, that was a major catalyst for the shows success and it has grown to a 40,000+ listening audience which is continuing to grow at a rapid pace.....

Chamber of Echoes presented by The Great Unknowns Presents, Ep 48

Great Unknowns Presents — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:47:57 GMT

Chamber of Echoes is an industrial band that embodies the essence of a powerful singer with a gothic dose of musical melodies which make this music artist a force to be reckoned with. If Amy Lee of Evanescence and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails were fused together in an accidental transporter incident, the result would be the birth of Klaryssa Korol, the heart and soul of Chamber of Echoes.
