Deaf Radio brings grit, movement and feeling with latest Album release “SHELTER”
Deaf Radio‘s latest album release, “SHELTER,” is an eight tracks album, driven by guitars, rhythm and a definite hunger for movement, with each song adding layers to the band’s sound. “SHELTER” opens with “Transmitter,” quickly setting a mood that revolves around ghostly synths, piano progressions and celestial vocals.
The lyric “Chasing a dream that makes no sense” adds another layer to the mysterious intro of the track, before the album heads in a faster, more urgent direction with “Idling.” The second track is powered by nice fast drums, bass, gritty guitar and synths, the chant “We’re never going to get away” providing a strong chorus moment. The band really comes into their own at 3:43 and you realize how much movement and groove they can bring into a track.
The title track “Shelter” goes another route, beginning quietly with bass and ambient sound, then the drums kick in. At 0:42 the whole band kicks in with action, professionalism and steadiness, giving the song a powerful lift around the lyric “Lay on my hands as the walls begin to fall”. Next is “Levitate,” with drums and picked bass guitar, creating the playful line “Celebrate all the small wins dancing near the crowded place.”
Then there’s the fifth track “All My Friends,” and the lyric “All my friends are busy with their own lives” into “oh how it feels to be looking through the glass.” A personal favorite, especially for it’s melody, acoustic and lead guitars and well handled drums. The album concludes with “Big Mistake,” “Tides” and “No Place Like Home,” with “Tides” leaving the biggest final impression. The guitar grit and rock attitude carries the listener along, repeating the energy Deaf Radio have carried throughout “SHELTER.”

Brian Asha celebrates real-life adventure on “Mighty Man (Jack De Keyzer’s Rock’n’Roll Remix)”
In a world where so much of life feels filtered through screens, Brian Asha takes a different route with “Mighty Man (Jack De Keyzer’s Rock’n’Roll Remix),” a release that celebrates adventure, confidence, and the freedom to enjoy life beyond the digital world. The track is built on a raw, energetic spirit and the thrill of real life.
Guitar work is central to this release, and two-time Juno Award winner Jack De Keyzer brings his musical presence to a project built around his guitar playing. “Mighty Man“ aims for a more visceral energy, letting adventure and fun lead the way.
The remix also features Grammy Award-winning producer Philip Larsen, who has worked with Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry, and Soft Cell. He brings a seasoned production perspective to a song whose identity is based in the strength of its rock roots. It treads the line between familiar guitar sounds and an ethos that feels especially relevant in an increasingly curated online culture.
“Mighty Man (Jack De Keyzer’s Rock’n’Roll Remix)“ is about living large, living on the edge, and having fun with experiences that can’t be so neatly scripted for an audience. This focus gives the song an artistic direction while keeping its message rooted in everyday life.
Brian Asha’s release ultimately advocates for turning away from the screen and embracing the unpredictable. With Jack De Keyzer’s guitar work front and center and a remix by Philip Larsen, “Mighty Man“ turns that idea into a rock’n’roll statement about making room for real adventure.

Carl Kammeyer turns personal appreciation into universal connection with “Only You”
The daily grind can make it easy to forget gratitude, especially when the people who support us don’t always seek recognition. That feeling grounds “Only You,” Carl Kammeyer’s indie R&B and alt-pop spin on appreciation, kindness, and the relationships that help shape who we are.
Kammeyer wrote and produced the song, inspired by personal introspection but reaching for something that many can relate to in their own lives. “Only You” is about recognizing those who believed in Kammeyer before he believed in himself. The song focuses on acts of kindness and gentle support that can have a profound impact. It’s a reminder that growth is rarely a solo effort, and those who stand beside us often deserve more credit than they get.
The intersection of these genres gives “Only You” a space for personal storytelling and accessible pop sensibilities to clash. Kammeyer’s choice to pen and produce the song himself also puts him at the center of its artistic direction. It came in a moment of contemplation, but its main point speaks to anyone who has ever been helped by another’s patience, belief, or generosity.
Kammeyer takes that connection and turns a personal nod into an invitation to acknowledge the people who matter in our worlds. “Only You” is an appreciation of Carl Kammeyer’s lane, and what sticks with you about the song is its tenderness toward people who are often overlooked and whose faith could be another’s self-assurance.
