Award-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter Robert Gugliuzza has long been one of indie music’s best-kept secrets—a true underdog with a deep catalog and a refusal to follow the conventional path.
His musical journey spans decades, from early work with AOR band Laden (“Politics of Life,” 1995) to Ordinary Life, a collection of rock and singer-songwriter tracks with undeniable commercial appeal. His ambitious concept project, “The Tenth Symphony: A Rock ‘n’ Roll Musical Adventure,” channels the spirit of Pink Floyd’s The Wall and aims for the масштаб of Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
“Scrolling” his brand new single is written, performed, and produced by Robert Gugliuzza (born 1963), “Scrolling” is a sharp, relatable take on modern digital addiction. Recorded at Big Chair Music Studio in West Palm Beach, FL, with lead vocals tracked at Sanderford Sound (engineered, mixed, and produced by James “Bubba” Sanderford), the track blends humor with commentary.
Driven by a Tom Petty–style groove, “Scrolling” builds from a steady, infectious rhythm into a chaotic, guitar-driven climax—mirroring the endless loop of social media consumption. Beneath its playful tone lies a real message: the hidden dangers of losing yourself in your screen.

We have the first album from power pop and alternative rock heroes The Greenberry Woods in over 30 years. It's All Good, Sugar..., the long-awaited follow-up to the band's two beloved albums on Sire Records in the mid-'90s, sees release on Vinyl, CD and Streaming worldwide on May 29, previewed by the advance singles “Whenever You Want Me Too” and “The One That Makes You Happy.” The new album finds all three founding singer-songwriters picking up right where they left of to deliver twelve new tracks bristling with hooks and harmonies that easily equal their vintage classics, adding up to what may be their best work yet.
“Let’s rewind... Can we go back in time?” Those are the first words heard on It's All Good, Sugar... and they speak volumes. Coming in on the downbeat of the first track “Summer Song” accompanied by brash, bright, open guitar chords, the yearning proclamation is immediately followed by the band crashing in with an amped-up mid tempo groove that carries us directly to the first of the album's many gorgeous choruses. The focus on the past is no accident: the band is fully aware that the tune instantly telegraphs that the band who brought you “Trampoline,” the 1994 college radio hit from their widely revered debut album Rapple Dapple, is back.
It's a twofold callback, not just to their own heyday on the robust power pop underground that encompassed peers like Matthew Sweet, Jellyfish and Fountains Of Wayne, but also to the decades-earlier inspiration of Big Star, Badfinger, The Beach Boys, and of course The Beatles. But while the album is informed by nostalgia, it's not defined by it. On an indie pop landscape where young bands like The Lemon Twigs are making those sounds fresh again, The Greenberry Woods step back into place as masters of the form with remarkable grace, erasing the intervening decades to bring us a simply stellar, timeless collection.

San Francisco’s 37 Houses return with When and How It Happened, a fearless second album chronicling the couple-led band’s journey through love, polyamory, and the emotional fallout in between. Erin Sydney and Jeremy Rosenblum turn their marriage into music — raw, reflective, and unexpectedly full of warmth.
The SF based indie punk quartet was begun as a sort of journal by newlyweds, singer/bassist Erin Sydney and guitarist/songwriter Jeremy Rosenblum in quarantine after just 4 months of marriage. Since then, the music has become a running expression of the love and pain they experience together. When and How it Happened is the next chapter in that story: written over 18 months about the process of learning to be, and not be, polyamorous in a developing marriage.
There’s a lot of raw emotion, and raw musicality to the album, and their bopping rhythms, swooning and warbling guitars, and Erin’s soaring vocals take things into the stratosphere. The songs were written as the events transpired and they capture the raw emotions of deeply personal moments. Neither person knew how this would end while it was being written. Helium, about a few days spent with a girlfriend, and a few months dealing with the feelings it created, captures that angst and grief.
Album opener Shadow Puppets sings an apology, an acknowledgement, and a resignation of hope, while maintaining the fierce undercurrent of unconditional love. Acoustic tracks Unloveable and Love Song contrast each other; one song about the darkest moments, and the other an expression of neverending love to hold onto when things feel overwhelming. This album also represents the first time Erin Sydney composed songs on the album, with Event Horizon and Only a Smile Remains giving voice to her struggle, her pain, and her ability to grow through it all.

Australian country-rock artist James Keith leans into the realities of long-distance love on his new single 'Cruel Game', out yesterday Friday, May 29, a country-rock anthem about choosing devotion in the face of doubt. Arriving alongside the announcement of his forthcoming album, 'I Call It Magic When I’m With You' (out October 2), the track finds him reflecting on the risks of loving deeply and why some things are still worth holding onto.
Since the release of his ARIA Country Albums Chart-topping debut 'Life Is Good Today' in 2024, James Keith has continued to build on his grounded brand of country-rock storytelling. Following a Top 10 placing in the prestigious Toyota Star Maker competition in 2025, Keith now formally announces his forthcoming album, 'I Call It Magic When I’m With You'.
Set for release this October, the 14-track project explores new love, distance and choosing joy through life’s challenges, building on the themes introduced across his recent run of singles.
Sparked by a comment questioning the sincerity of his relationship, his next single explores what it means to stand by love when circumstances make things harder. Honest and defiant, the 'Cruel Game' traces the tension between fear and faith, grounding itself in trust, patience and the belief that some connections are worth fighting for.
