Top 5 Feature: Glümwalker

  Glümwalker is an independent music project by Columbus, Ohio area's Codee Carle (Hollywood Red, StarsAndTheSky), aka Darth. On the project, Carle explains: "Glümwalker is a passion project I never thought I would get to make. It's a blend of alt rock/electronica that feels at home to me. I get to let my feelings out in a very ambiguous way."    The artist's four-track fifth EP  Soüless was just released and is now available to listen here, on Spotify . About the EP, Carle said: "Each EP sits in a different genre/sonic zone. This EP is the rock-and-roll vibe. I don't normally do live drums on my music, [but] I have a drummer on this, his name is Harley DeWinter; he normally drums for a country artist named BRELAND. We've been friends since we were kids and this is the first record we got to work on together, so this was fun." To hear all of the studio releases, visit here .

Top 5 Feature: June Moss

  Columbus, Ohio multi-instrumentalist (dummer, pianist, guitarist, bassist, vocalist) and recording artist Kevin Skubak is June Moss.  Recently this year, he released an independent full-length alt rock-and-roll 12-song, nearly hour-long, album titled, The Sun Is A Knife with lead single “Winter Island.”  Speaking on the album, he said: “This album took about a year to make. I recorded and mixed this album at my house and performed all instruments and vocals. Mastering was by Brandon MacLean and artwork by Zed Henson. Special thanks to my Dad and Austin Redd for their unconditional support, Marnée Richardson for putting up with all of the noise (especially the vocal practice), Josh Zimmerer for his guidance and support, and Gray Perry along with the rest of Soltour for artistic inspiration. To say it in Spinal Tap terms, my audience has become more "selective" over the years, but I'm still very grateful for everyone who still listens.” You can purchase the album for $7

Top 5 Feature: Shunpike

  Shunpike is an alternative rock outfit based out of Lancaster, Ohio. We started in March 2020, kind of by accident. Donny and I had jammed a few times with the intention of covering the Unplugged - Alice In Chains record, and one night after rehearsing those covers (which we still haven’t played out) he sent me a voice memo of a riff that would become the basis of our song "Empty Years." We decided to put a full band together and, fast forwarding to today, have completed two records and are currently working on our third. While we aren’t quite sure what the new album is going to be yet, we’ve got a few tracks already that we’re really excited to share leading up to the release. Let us know what you think! Shunpike:  J.D. Henderly (guitar/vocals), Donny Phillips (guitar), Kurt Miller (bass), Dwayne Kilbarger (drums) NEWS: New single "Nail Biter" will release June 6, Full album All The Lovely Colors released 2023 SHOWS: Shunpike, Summit For The People, Bu
