Featured Release

Meg Myers: Take Me to the Disco
Genre: Indie-Pop/Alternative Rock/Indie-Rock
Label: 300 Entertainment

Myers crashed 2015 as one of the best up-and-coming female rockers, jolting listeners to attention with her powerful vocals.  Singles such as ‘Sorry’ and ‘Desire’ brought her a great deal of exposure, and now she is looking to capitalize on that early success with Take Me to the Disco.  She has a lot to live up to on her sophomore release, and not all of the singles released to-date have convinced eager fans, but it would be unwise to sleep on a record whose creator has such a raw, obvious skill set.  Listen to one of Take Me to the Disco‘s singles, ‘Numb’, below:
