The Driver Era is the new musical project from Californian brothers Ross and Rocky Lynch.

ALBUM REVIEW: Jack White – Boarding House Reach
It’s no secret that Jack White is one of the music industry’s most unique artists. His captivating vocals and unusual storytelling are just two of the reasons that have made him a household name.

SINGLE REVIEW: Thandi Phoenix – My Way
So I’m just going to say it. Thandi Phoenix is one of Australia’s best live performers and for some reason she is so underrated. Her experimental fusion of rhythmic pop has impressed me over the years with her singles “Standing Too Close”, “Come Around” and “Tell Me Where The Lovers Have Gone”. She’s toured the…
SINGLE REVIEW: Jesse McCartney – Better With You
Odds are that Jesse McCartney was your first crush while you were growing up.
