  • THAT'S THE END? WITH SUB-RADIO • Headliners #129

    ABOUT SUB-RADIO:

    Few independent bands have had a career as varied and unpredictable as the indie pop quintet Sub-Radio. Founded in Washington DC by a group of childhood friends, the band built a following in their hometown of Washington, D.C. on the strength of ecstatic live shows and a stream of releases. The band’s first release, 2016’s Same Train // Different Station, was recorded as the guys finished college, blending the pop-punk they grew up on with the indie-pop stylings of WALK THE MOON and The 1975. In 2017, Sub-Radio released a single per month from April to September, coinciding with a regional tour and an appearance at the Firefly Music Festival. Their two raucous sets at the festival exposed them to a wider audience, and the band’s next EP Headfirst was their best-performing release yet, including the popular beachy single “Flashback,” which has amassed more than 3 million streams across all platforms. Following the release of their 2020 EP Thoughts Lights Colors Sounds, produced by Andrew Maury (Shawn Mendes, Lizzo, COIN), the band embarked on a pandemic-induced “virtual tour,” live-streaming their energetic performances to more than 20 million viewers and building a worldwide community of fans. The band signed with indie label Th3rd Brain in early 2022, announcing a string of US tour dates in support of forthcoming new music.

  • STAYING SHARP WITH GUSTAVO GALINDO • Headliners #128
    Apr 18 2024

    Grammy-nominated Latin singer-songwriter Gustavo Galindo is celebrating the release of his 3rd album Between Two Worlds. The new album finds him as a fully realized artist where his life as a husband, father, and performer have come together in a collection of deeply personal songs. Two singles from the album have been released, “Continentes Distintos,” “Broken Things” and a third called “Princesa,” about his daughter, which will soon have an official music video.

    Between Two Worlds can be streamed on all platforms.

    This album really captures a very interesting time in my life as an adult. It starts with a love story and ends with a funeral and covers everything in between. I wanted to make something for people my age or who are going through the transitions life throws at you. Mature relationships, parenthood, therapy, redemption, hope, and fear are all thrown in a blender that can leave so many of us grasping for air before time comes and counts down our remaining seconds. I wanted to make music that would fight against that despair and melancholy of the middle-age American dream by embracing the shadows and messiness that comes with it.” – Gustavo Galindo

    “Broken Things”

    “Broken Things” was inspired by ‘Kintsugi’ – the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken objects, often with gold lacquer. The lyrics explore embracing and cherishing the perceived imperfections and fractures within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. “Broken Things” showcases Gustavo's ability to tap into the human experience, encouraging us to see the beauty in what we perceive as broken.

    “Continentes Distintos”

    “Continentes Distintos” explores the stage of a relationship where things start to change and you can feel like strangers drifting apart as if you are on ‘different continents.’ Gustavo’s songwriting style and heartfelt lyrics again touch on the human experience we all share.

    Gustavo Galindo has always been a musical explorer straddling two worlds, two cultures, and two languages. Born in Mexico and raised in the United States, he has created a unique musical vocabulary. His music is filled with passion, wisdom, and honesty which transcends borders and genres. Gustavo has shared the stage with global stars including Enrique Iglesias, LP, Juanes, Los Amigos Invisibles, and more.

    Gustavo regularly performs all around Los Angeles and beyond, with plans to announce more shows soon.

  • #CHOCOLATE WITH JEFFREY JAMES • Headliners #127
    Apr 11 2024

    Nashville-based singer and songwriter Jeffrey James returns with his new single, “Day by Day,” out now via Preach Records.

    Over the past few years, Jeffrey James has captivated the hearts of millions with his soulful and introspective sound and his rich, velvety vocals. For his new single, “Day by Day,” Jeffrey worked with John Davidson and Jacob Bryant, the lead singer and lead guitarist of the indie-rock band The Brummies. Merging Jeffrey’s soulful pop stylings with John and Jacob’s indie sensibilities, the trio created an irresistibly catchy, genre-blending anthem with "Day by Day."

    “The song is based on my own experience of growing and learning about life and love alongside my wife,” Jeffrey shares. “It hasn’t always been perfect or easy, but there is nothing better than knowing you have a partner who is by your side and ready to take on whatever comes next.”

    Pairing catchy pop melodics and R&B influences with reflective lyricism, Jeffrey’s songs explore the complex emotional layers of human experience with compassion and curiosity. Since making his debut in 2016, he has amassed millions of streams across his repertoire, received praise from tastemakers like Billboard and 1883 Magazine, and had his music featured in numerous TV shows and films. In Spring 2022, Jeffrey’s collaboration with Grammy Award-winning DJ, Dave Audé, climbed to number 5 on the UK dance charts. Over the course of his singles, collaborations and EPs, Jeffrey has continued to explore his sound, emerging as an exciting force in the contemporary pop space.
