Following the release of their debut EP last year, Bet On You, Toronto-based, alt-indie trio The Man Who returns with a brand-new track, Something To Believe, today via Virgin Records. The anthemic track arrives alongside a powerful remixed version today produced by Calvary. The Calvary remix will be used in an MLB Network piece, New Faces in New Places, that will detail every big name who changed teams this year. The piece will air on Thursday, July 23, and Friday, July 24 on MLB Network as part of Major League Baseball’s return. The remix will also be used in other MLB Network Opening Week coverage placements.

Comprising David Walsh (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Chad Walsh (bass/electric guitar, keyboards, background vocals) and Frank Goerz (drums), The Man Who takes its name from a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, “The world makes way for the man who knows where he’s going.”BANNE

The Man Who traces its roots back to 2015, when a tour took Toronto-based Chad Walsh to Newfoundland, where he re-connected with his cousin, David Walsh, who was also a musician. The two began a long-distance collaboration, experimenting with vintage synthesizers and throwback hip-hop drum loops. David eventually moved to Toronto, where the two cousins recruited drummer Frank Goerz.

The Man Who spent the most part of last year touring across North America including a support slot with BANNERS. Across all of their songs, The Man Who has already racked up more than 20 million global streams and garnered praise from Clash, Hillydilly, Elicit Magazine, Music Connection, plus many more.

Kim K. Addresses Kanye

Leave a reply

After the American public responded to Kanye West’s announcement to run for President in the upcoming election, Kim Kardashian West felt that it was necessary to speak out about her husband and address certain issues that she wants to communicate to the public. There has been a great deal of mixed rhetoric surrounding Kanye’s announcement to run for President, especially since many of his followers know he suffers from Bi-polar disorder and makes extremely controversial statements from time to time.

According to CNN Entertainment, through the use of Instagram stories, Kim expressed her perspective regarding Kanye, and proceeded to claim that he is a “brilliant but complicated” person. Although Kanye has been pretty open about his mental health in the past, Kim and others close to him have spoken up about how he should receive any mental health support he needs. In short, Kim publicized her thoughts and comments about Kanye to those who follow his actions in order to gain “compassion and empathy” on his part.

In honor of the newly unveiled Wraith Kryptos Car Collection, Rolls-Royce launches an entertaining and interactive online game, for members of the public and enthusiasts around the world to enjoy. On top of just being an enjoyable and unique game, ten lucky players who complete the game first will win their very own personalized Rolls-Royce tread plate.

The Wraith Kryptos Collection was revealed at the beginning of July and has been exciting cryptography lovers and automobile admirers ever since. Consisting of just 50 examples, these very special motor cars have cryptic messages embedded within the fabric of the car. Finally, once car-owners decipher the code, they are invited to submit their findings to Rolls-Royce’s highly exclusive members’ club, the Whispers Application.

The online game has been devised to entertain and amuse Rolls-Royce enthusiasts who may not have the Wraith Kryptos Collection vehicle themselves. Anyone with a penchant for cryptography and luxury cars may enter the challenge. Consisting of four different levels, players are initially invited to guide an orb through a maze by tilting their mobile device in the direction they wish to travel, in a time-pressured challenge. Next, a series of questions will reveal just how keen the cryptographer player really is. The third level will test the observation skills of the participant. The final phase consists of cryptographic ciphers, designed to boggle players’ minds.

Healy – Second Wind

Leave a reply

Memphis based singer/songwriter/producer Healy releases his latest track and music video, “Second Wind” today (watch here). The track was the first song to be created and recorded during a two-week writing trip to Joshua Tree National Park.

“This song sounds like redemption to me,” says Healy, “I spent a lot of 2019 doubting and second-guessing myself, and writing this song was really cathartic. The song began as a means of self-acceptance and eventually became a general commentary on life as I was seeing it. The song really opens up as it progresses, and as the second verse continues you hear a sort of push and pull between normal and pitched vocals. In the same way, I’ve really stepped into myself more fully this year—and I’ve been working toward finding a balance between humility and ego.”

Earlier this year, Healy released “Nikes On” as well as the music video for his track “Reckless,” the latter of which was featured on his debut album Subluxe and has over 26 million streams on Spotify. Most recently, Healy reached over 1.3 million followers on his Spotify artist page.

Last Fall, Healy released “Tuscon,” which has garnered over 2.3 million combined audio streams.

Coronavirus Awareness Through Art

Leave a reply

By Mina Tocalini

Graphic designers, illustrators and all artists alike unite against the Coronavirus pandemic with creative messages of hope and safety. Open calls for creatives were presented by the United Nations, Amplifier, and others back in April for innovative designs and infographics. The Erase Covid community was formed in light of this as well and established a partnership with MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund to help raise money for artists and musicians. While the Viral Art Project continues to invite artists via social media to submit Coronavirus awareness posters.

The images created express gratitude for our health workers, safety tips, awareness and more throughout the pandemic, highlighting art’s power to connect and communicate. The Smithsonian Magazine reported how creativity continues on the street, as graffiti artists take their Coronavirus art directly to the public with images centered on increasing privatization, surveillance, increasing marginalization, corporatization, housing issues that have become more prevalent during the crisis. This pandemic has not only brought tragedy to our lives as we watch the death toll increase, but it has also illuminated the ineffective and injustice systems in place in this country that affect the poor, minorities and immigrants. With this in mind, we can turn to art to project our voice towards progress.

Art has always been at the forefront of communication and throughout this pandemic, creativity has triumphed, leaving us with hope for the social limitations in place and the future of this pandemic. If you are an artist, or looking to become one, or even just starting a new hobby, turn to this pandemic with a creative eye. Make art on proper hygiene practice, social distancing, social isolation, virtual communication, the importance of masks, social injustice, economic disparity, current politics or any other topic that coronavirus has impacted in our daily lives. Share your art on social media and stay connected, together we can help save lives and move our country forward.

Expand your design/art community further on Talent House, Behance, DeviantArt and Dribble.
