When is a market saturated? Who decides when there has been enough pop-punk or rap-rock produced for the next five years and the industry just can’t handle any more? There is no gauge of how much is too much, because it’s all a matter of opinion anyway. Well, I’m here to say that the music […]
Get ready hipsters, there’s a new kid in town. The single “Apart” from Elkland has hit the streets, teasing us with a taste of what’s to come off their full-length debut Golden, which is due out on Columbia Records in May.
