<p>There’s a moment in Vera Sola’s new single, a stirring composition called “The Line,” where the singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist casts a spell over the past five years with a simple sentiment: “You track the wake and you’ll find what I’m about / I’ll be back when it’s right.” It’s a notable lyric for the artist born Danielle Aykroyd, the daughter of Dan Aykroyd and Donna Dixon and former poetry student of Jorie Graham at Harvard University. In 2018 she delivered debut […]</p>

Edit: 1:00pm, 10/17/23- Songtradr reached out to us to clarify numbers reported on this issue. They stated: "Of 118 employees, 60 were offered employment. (58 accepted, 1 is pending and 1 declined). Those who didn’t receive offers will receive severance from Epic as part of their layoffs as communicated on September 28th." The company did not refute the fact that their initial press release mischaracterized 50% of the work force being laid off as "50% of bandcamp employees have accepted offers to join Songtradr" (which implies 100% of the workforce were offered jobs). As reported earlier this month, Bandcamp, which was owned by Epic games, was sold to Songtradr. This week, about 50% of bandcamp's staff was laid off, including some people that ran Bandcamp's journalism arm, Bandcamp daily. About 60 are being let go, although in a press release, Songtradr characterized the layoffs as "50% of bandcamp employees have accepted offers to join Songtradr." The press release did not mention that the other 50% were not offered anything at all. According to sources, bandcamp co-founder Ethan Diamond was unaware of the sale until the night before it was announced, and has not responded to any requests for information. Meanwhile, for the past year or so, Bandcamp United, the union that represents bandcamp employees, has been wrestling with Epic games for a collective agreement. The union has stated that the talks will now resume with Songtradr, though it appears the union position is significantly weakened. You can read the union statement below, along with comments that were included with these news tips, to punknews.

<p>Stealing hearts isn’t a jailable offense, but shooting a cashier and lifting fistfuls of dollars sure is. CD Rose freezes in the crosshairs of stealth, slaughter, and raw sexuality in her new video “Nine Lives,” a lusty pledge to protect her lover — until the cops need a little cooperation, that is. The new visual, which arrived yesterday (October 15), follows a partner in passion’s decline into a murderous partner in crime, a plot the Boston singer imagined while cruising […]</p>
