The Strokes released an experimental track last month entitled “One Way Trigger” for free download and now the band is back with the official first single from their forthcoming album, Comedown Machine. While I did enjoy the uplifting “One Way Trigger”, The Strokes lead single, “All The Time”, stays true to the rock bands roots and features…

Amelia – Don’t You Worry Child (SHM Cover)

Singer, actress, and high school student, Amelia Scaramucci covered the ever so popular radio hit “Don’t You Worry Child.” Amelia sings the chorus and short verse over a laid back piano and guitar instrumental thus highlighting her vocal range. Her remake of the the platinum single is refreshing and most definitely a good effort. Overall, her…
