Small Change Romeos - "Dandelion"

After a 5 year hiatus the members of long time San Francisco Rock Band Small Change Romeos are gearing up to release their 4th studio album and follow it up with a number of Northern California shows this summer.
The album, entitled ‘Mystery Sings’ is a solid collection of material from sessions that span several years in the studio. It is arguably their most provocative and strongest record to date with songs that cover a broad range of styles from Roots Rock to Blues to Alternative.
Official CD Release Show to take place Fri. 6/24 at Neck of the Woods 406 Clement St. San Francisco, CA
The Small Change Romeos is a prolific and exciting musical outfit led by Singer Songwriters Chris James and Mike Ruy. A rhythm section tour du force backs them with Matt Berg on drums, and AJ Leighton on bass. Keyboardist, and upcoming artist in own right John Patterson, fills out the band’s eclectic sound.

The Romeos have been developing their craft for several years, both on stage and in the studio, creating a musical synergy between them that is undeniable. Being songwriters first, rock n’ rollers second, their multi-layered, contagious songs rally up audiences to follow them through emotionally stirred performances.

"SCR is a real rock band. They bring to mind an edgy, dynamic and classic sound that is missing in so much of today’s music. Great songwriting and awesome onstage performance and energy...” Working with them both on the stage and in the studio has always been a pleasure and an incredible experience..." -Phil Bennett, Starship


MORE INFO: In 2007 through 2009 their album “Fool’s Gold” attracted the attention of the majors and the band was able to secure a music placement contract with Gotham Records out of NYC. The record featured a host of talented musical guests including: Dave Rude (Tesla), J Bowman of (Spearhead) and Phil Bennett (Starship). Additionally, the Small Change Romeos have had plays on many West Coast radio stations including 107.7 The Bone, 91.1 KMUD, 90.1 Pirate Cat FM, and KGO 810 AM. They have also had music featured in commercials seen on various TV stations including CNN, and they have been broadcast on XM SIRIUS satellite radio as well as various other Internet stations. They have also been a featured act on the ongoing Comcast television show SF Sound. In 2005, the track “Not Like This” was chosen to be part of the SAUZA "LIVE ALL SUMMER" compilation CD that distributed 40,000 copies nationwide. The Romeo’s video and song “01.20.09” can been seen on a number of "call for change" websites including BushsLastDay.com and was one of Bruce Springsteen's personal picks for a playlist on E STREET SIRIUS RADIO. Together they have played hundreds of live shows and have done a number of corporate events for companies including KOHLER, and NET SUITE.

Somalia has birthed a metalcore/deathcore pioneer by the name Dahir Dubi

A Somali metalcore/deathcore Artist just when you thought you heard  everything. This is the type of art everyone needs to hear one that is not simply formed of inner-city struggle and then you just do the obvious thing and get pigeonholed into making drill or hip-hop, or whatever is deemed to be as the kids say “popping” at the time. This is not also a story of privilege where your parents gave you every advantage there is, you studied music  at the best schools and college, and your father finally decided to cash in on that favour the big music executive owes him. No this is a story of falling in love with a music genre that no one in your immediate circle understands. Realising, people you have known for years think you are weird and perhaps worship satin. This is a story of losing friends because they want  you to conform and just be “normal”. This is a story of being someone you choose to be  rather than what people expect you to be and standing up for your individuality.   This r
