With Full Colour out now, Paper Lions are gearing up to hit the road on their Canadian tour for the rest of the year, and with another new album already in the works, it’s safe to say they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.
Review by Dom Vigil Gary Clark Jr delivers soulful longing and palpable emotion in his new single, “Take Me Down,” for the upcoming film, Deepwater Horizon. The song, which is featured on the soundtrack and in the film (centering around the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the people who fought to survive and make it back home) is the perfect to accompany the story, as you can practically feel the longing to go home and be reunited with loved ones in Gary Clark Jr’s vocals.

Currently out on the road for the Coasts Collide tour with Resinated and Perro Bravo, alt-reggae band Tunnel Vision are bringing their high energy live performances to Denver, Colorado on August 25th. Although landlocked Colorado is vastly different from the band’s home state of California, that won’t stop them from bringing summer fun to The Gothic Theatre before fall begins to full set in.
Jake Schneider began his career in music just like anyone else – as a fan. From riding the rail and moshing at punk and ska shows when he was younger, to falling in love with hip-hop and spending late nights learning about countless artists and genres of music to better understand his first job in the industry, Schneider has always been passionate about music, so his current position as a Partner and Director of Agency Development at Madison House Inc., (a booking and management company based in Boulder, Colorado) simply makes sense.
