Ludlow Creek, formerly known as Southbound, re-issues debut album “Hands Of Time,” a 2021 single, “What About Love” and a brand new music video.
“Each of us in the band thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for your support through the years. We are truly humbled by your love for us and that love is mutual!”— Ludlow Creek
Throughout music history, many acts have changed their names before gaining national attention. The Quarrymen, The Rattlesnakes, The Hype, Mammoth.. These local acts would eventually go on to be known as some of the biggest acts in the history of music: The Beatles, The Bee Gees, U2 and Van Halen. On Saturday, February 26th, popular Dayton, Ohio based band “Southbound” announced that they changed their name to “Ludlow Creek.” The name change comes on the eve of the band’s reissues of their first album, 2015’s “Hands Of Time” and their 2021 single, “What About Love.”
The band issued a statement saying, “As you, our loyal followers know, over the 9 years of performing classic rock covers we have also been crafting our own music that embodies the sound and feel of our musical influences, and now we’ve decided to pursue writing and performing our own material full time. Each of us in the band thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for your support through the years. We are truly humbled by your love for us and that love is mutual! While we enjoy creating and performing music – your input, comments, and sharing your life experiences with us are what motivates us and keeps us going!”

The band has also released their first music video as Ludlow Creek, “Stoney Lonesome Road.” The song comes from their forthcoming 2022 album release (MTS Records.)

“The Deverills” by TYGERMYLK reveals a glittering ode to queer friendship

Hayz Harland, known professionally as TYGERMYLK, returns with something far more precious, “The Deverills,” a track that feels like flipping through a sun-creased scrapbook of inside jokes, questionable travel decisions, and emotional pitstops shared with your closest friends. Co-written with long-time creative soulmate, collaborator, and best friend Laura Reznek, the single is both a love letter and a comedic commentary, offering a tender, chaotic, and sharply self-aware ode to platonic queer friendship.
The track is funny, emotional, and honest. From the very first notes, “The Deverills” envelops listeners in warmth buoyed by the lush harmonies of the KIN Choir and lyrics that are as witty as they are wistful. Harland doesn’t just tell stories; she paints vivid scenes of viral cat museum escapades, hotel bar confessions, and that one time they ended up on the wrong boat (we’ve all been there…right?). Her storytelling shines with cinematic detail, culminating in a chorus that evokes the comforting feeling of returning home after an extended tour of beautiful disasters.
What makes this track potently impactful is its quiet indignities, which serve as an incisive critique of ageism within the music industry, and effectively challenge and dismantle outdated assumptions regarding queer relationships. Harland’s approach goes beyond merely requesting inclusion; she assertively establishes her presence in this domain by artfully combining humor with grace, thereby exhibiting both wit and poise.
In a cultural landscape that often prioritizes romantic ideals and fleeting novelty, “The Deverills” provides a refreshing exploration of the intricate and fulfilling dynamics that emerge from the joyful eccentricities of a chosen family. This narrative serves as a resonant anthem for those who have cultivated profound connections with friends or surrogate family members through shared experiences marked by unconventional road trips, communal living situations, and intimate exchanges of secrets during the twilight hours, discovering moments of joy along the way. The work encapsulates the juxtaposition of playfulness and poignancy, immersing the audience in the complexity and relatability of human relationships. TYGERMYLK’s anthemic creation stands as a noteworthy contribution to the discourse on the beautifully chaotic journey of human connection.

David Cloyd triumphantly returns with a reflective new album, “Red Sky Warning”

David Cloyd, a seasoned artist whose creative luminescence has only intensified over his career, makes a noteworthy re-entry following a decade-long hiatus with an emotionally resonant and musically sophisticated new album, “Red Sky Warning,” released via ECR Music Group. This album marks his reintroduction to the music scene as he aims to reclaim the spotlight. Co-produced and mixed by the acclaimed indie architect Blake Morgan (known for his work with Lenny Kravitz, Lesley Gore, and Janita), the masterful ten-track album encapsulates a significant evolution in Cloyd’s sonic profile, where intricate craftsmanship meets intense emotional exposition.
Spanning ten compelling tracks, “Red Sky Warning” is a profound exploration of openness, identity, and the intimacy of human connection. The very first notes of the opener, “Ocean of Hours,” envelops listeners in a euphoric wave of melody, with the magic of Cloyd’s lyricism resonating like heartbeats, consistently engaging while maintaining a clear direction. This immersive tone sets the stage for a record that demands to be felt as much as it is heard.
It is followed spontaneously by “If We Could Escape,” the second track, delving into themes of emotional ambivalence and quiet longing for escapism. Its soulful balm and shimmering aura capture the ache of unspoken truths, laying bare the intimate confessions Cloyd expresses through his signature vocal warmth and layered instrumentation. Each hypnotic rhyme that follows builds on this honesty, embracing a therapeutic narrative of accepting imperfection.
In the third track, “The Day Before,” a contemplative light emerges as Cloyd masterfully blends soul-pop sensibility with mature finesse. It evokes the quiet anticipation that precedes change, revealing Cloyd’s ability to distill quotidian experiences into a resonant metaphor. Conversely, “A Far Cry From Nothing” presents a robust rhythmic foundation that underscores lyrical potency, driven by piano-centric confidence and heartfelt phrasing that illuminate emotional resilience. In “Cage of Water,” Cloyd adeptly navigates the emotional landscape through an audacious sonic tapestry that reflects the fluidity of love’s ever-changing tides. This piece captures the inherent unpredictability of romantic experiences, evoking a captivating composition that accentuates its dynamism. The ambient “Drive With Me” employs lush ambient textures to guide listeners through reflective pathways, invoking the nuances of nostalgic relationships and emotional bonds often left unarticulated.
“Into The Sea” dazzles with melancholic elegance, threading love and mystery into a cohesive storytelling framework. Subsequent tracks, such as “Climbing Ivy,” maintain this thematic momentum, focusing on unity and the complexities inherent in celebrating brotherhood and kinship through a storytelling lens steeped in poetic nuance. “Small Wooden Boat” offers a poignant reflection on the past, emphasizing rediscovery and personal growth while capturing the bittersweet clarity that revisiting old memories often brings. The album culminates with the stunning track “Walk the Earth,” a soul-stirring finale that lingers in the heart of listeners long after its chords fade. Cloyd’s use of tremulous vibrato and unwavering vocal performance echoes the weight of lived experience, providing a fitting closure to an album that’s both a personal manifesto and a universal commentary.
Each composition sequentially builds upon the previous one, thereby enhancing the thematic essence of “Red Sky Warning” and symbolizing not only a reawakening but also a rebirth for David Cloyd. His distinctive vocal style as a singer and songwriter approach draws comparisons to notable figures such as Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Peter Gabriel while remaining distinctly his own. With this release, Cloyd effectively positions introspection at the forefront of his artistry, transforming emotional vulnerability into a cathartic experience. This meticulously curated body of work serves as a testament to David Cloyd’s enduring musical vision, establishing it as a timeless addition to any music aficionado’s collection. “Red Sky Warning” is essential for those seeking genuine artistry that transcends genre and invites listeners on an evocative expedition of heartfelt optimism and recuperation.
