Singer-songwriter, Trey Lewis has blazed quite the path for himself in country music over the last decade. Lewis is already a viral sensation on TikTok with a devoted fanbase. Today the artist released a brand new song “Hate This Town.”
Lewis shows his softer side on the mid-tempo track. “Hate This Town” is all about nostalgia for your upbringing. Upon first listen, you may think the song is about never wanting to go back, but really it is all about loving where you are from. Like many of us, Lewis taps into the younger version of himself, remembering all the days he wanted to get the hell out. It is funny how our hometowns become our favorite places the older we get.
“It was anywhere but around here // didn’t care wherever that wind blew // was your typical teenage kid, a know it all, but you couldn’t tell shit // ain’t it crazy how things change cause I just turned back on main”
“Hate This Town” is another glimpse into Lewis’ talent as a singer and as a songwriter. The music video gives fans an inside look into Lewis’ real-life upbringing. We look forward to more new music by the rising artist, as it is sure to be authentic and raw. Fans have sure flocked to him for good reason.

Filmore’s new song, “Johnny Got A Girl” is out now, March 4th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
Filmore fans are finally having their wishes granted for long-awaited new music from the artist. With multiple new releases expected over the coming weeks, “Johnny Got A Girl” is Filmore’s latest single, available now Friday, March 4th.
“Johnny Got A Girl” is about the loss of a longtime friend whose memories and presence are deeply missed, but maybe not for the reasons you’d expect – and certainly not what his friends expected. In a humorous play on words, Filmore pays tribute to his friend who chose a girl over beers with the boys. It doesn’t come from a place of anger, but more from one of disbelief with some underlying sadness. They know their buddy might have lost his spot at the bar for good, but for now, they just don’t know how in the world, Johnny got a girl.
“Johnny Got a Girl // And I lost a friend // Can’t even blame em // She’s a ten out of ten // Must be out of her mind // She’s out of his league // And since he’s been with her // haven’t seen him in weeks // I got no one to drink with, fish with, pull my truck out the ditch with // Man, I don’t know how in the World // Johnny Got A Girl”
Filmore drops new song “Johnny Got A Girl,” out now.

LOCASH’s new song, “Beach Boys” is out now, March 4th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.
LOCASH is joined by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys on their new single – which just so happens to share a name with the iconic band.
The duo was invited to join The Beach Boys (and John Stamos) on stage to a sold-out show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium back in February to perform “Beach Boys” live for the first time, ahead of its release and as a part of The Beach Boys 60th anniversary celebration.
“Beach Boys” was originally released as a solo version on LOCASH’s WOODS & WATER – EP before it found its way to The Beach Boys themselves. The song is written by LOCASH’s Chris Lucas and Preston Brust, alongside Dallas Wilson, Jared Mullins, Brian Wilson, and Mike Love.
On how the song and the collaboration came together, Brust shares: “The day we wrote ‘Beach Boys,’ I remember Chris and I dreaming of recording it with The Beach Boys. We never imagined that they’d hear it, let alone get the chance to lay down our parts with Mike [Love] and Bruce [Johnston] and actually feel like we were a part of a group that we’ve idolized for so long! It’s crazy how it all became a reality and now the fun really begins!”
Love, of The Beach Boys, then shared: “We had a blast collaborating with Chris and Preston of LOCASH! The song is so hooky – I can’t get it out of my head. I love mixing it up! Country Rock met Surf Rock and created a fun summer hit!”
“Beach Boys” opens with the classic hook from The Beach Boys’ iconic hit, “I Get Around” and continues to mesh The Beach Boy’s chill summer vibes with LOCASH’s outlaw country style and energy. In a song where the beach meets backwoods (or rather, woods meet water), you can’t help but want to drop what you’re doing and head for the beach.
“Let’s take the country to the beach boys // trade that red dirt in for sand // Show ‘em how we Tennessee boys // Catch a Jon boat buzz on a Catamaran // And get a little bit of red on my redneck // Drop a lime in the bottom of a long neck // Find a boat that floats and get shipwrecked // With some local honey // Let’s take the country to the beach boys”
LOCASH is nominated for Duo of the Year at the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards, live from Las Vegas on Monday, March 7th. LOCASH’s WOODS & WATER TOUR 2022 kicks off tonight, March 4th in West Chester, OH and has 21 more dates to follow including Wildwood, NY on June 19th as part of the Barefoot Country Music Fest.
LOCASH collaborate with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston on new rendition of their song “Beach Boys.”

Nashvillains debut album, Tumbling Down is out now, March 4th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the new album below.
Nashvillains are an act you are going to want to remember! Comprised of Troy Johnson, Scott Lindsey, and Brett Boyett, the trio just released their debut record. The country-rock album, Tumbling Down is out now.
Chock-full of incredible songs, Tumbling Down is one of the most unique records out there right now. Unlike most records in the country genre, the album is meant to be listened to from start to finish. According to the band members, “It’s a concept album, so there’s an overall story and an arc to the entire album, so each song relates to the next one.” Band member, Lindsey adds, “Our original inspiration was to tell a story about a man that has made bad decisions that have sent his life into a downward spiral. In three simple words, the album is beautiful, dramatic, and classic.”
The record kicks off with the track, “Devil Don’t Sleep.” The song depicts the struggles the protagonist is going through – feeling like a song straight out of a movie. The album progresses to the next two songs, “Standing In The Fire” and the title track and lead single, “Tumbling Down.” The former is an eerie slow burn. Johnson’s vocals are haunting in the best way possible. Similarly, “Tumbling Down” is a ballad that depicts the depths a person can fall to. Additionally, the instrumentation on this song is a darker version of more traditional country music.
“Every road is just a lonely old blacktop // Heading someplace you’ve already been // Pound of dust on your shoes // Sunburn on your neck // And memories in your head you can’t forget // Oooh oooh ooh”
The Nashvillains continue to play with the instrumentation on the groovy, blues-heavy, “Baby Keeps Killing Me.” On “Bonita,” the group members introduce a gothic, yet Latin flair to their already enticing project.
The band members continue to play with their songs both melodically and sonically on “There To Catch Me” and “Love Is Pain.” The former brings it back to traditional country music, while keeping the dark and deep guitars throughout the rhythm. The latter broadens the rock music elements of the record.
The album concludes with “Chickasaw Bayou” and “Don’t Let Me Hang.” On “Chickasaw Bayou,” the Nashvillains’ declare an end to the suffering expressed throughout the tracks before. “Don’t Let Me Hang” is a plea to God to bring salvation and end to the suffering. Although dark, the song is the perfect way to end the cohesive and incredible story that unfolded throughout the record.
Overall the Nashvillains debut record is a unique masterpiece. The trio managed to create a project that is delightfully unlike anything else in the genre right now. The instrumentation, the lyrics, the story-telling, and the relatability are all top-notch. Congrats to Nashvillains on their killer debut!

Singer-songwriter, Tim Montana released two brand new songs, including “Good By Me” and “I Ain’t Ashamed.” Listen to the new tracks below…
Country rocker, Tim Montana is sharing two brand new songs for fans. The tracks follow the singer-songwriter’s 2021 full-length album, Long Shots. Both releases showcase Montana’s traditional country roots. “Good By Me” and “I Ain’t Ashamed” are two songs fans are going to want to add to their playlist.
The former, “Good By Me” is a feel-good song that celebrates doing the right thing. On the track, Montana encourages others to be kind to one another. Without being too positive, the singer showcases the importance of good deeds in the world.
“When this old world goes dark // You can’t let it break your heart // Or you can be the spark and help them see // What the hell do I know // I’m just a one-man show // Bummin’ round and round on the breeze // Seeing good folks doing good things // And a bad guy that’s all good by me”
“I Ain’t Ashamed” is a more pensive and introspective song, while “Good By Me” is an outward expression of compassion and kindness. “I Ain’t Ashamed” features Montana being authentic. He prides himself on staying true to his values and his heart.
“I ain’t ashamed of the way I was raised // I ain’t ashamed of the choices I’m made // Just writing my story // I’m good with no glory // Long as I go out it on place // I ain’t ashamed”
Tim Montana is an artist you are going to want to keep on his radar. “Good By Me” and “I Ain’t Ashamed” are two songs that prove it!

Teddy Robb’s brand new EP, Get Away With It, is out now, February 25th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new music below and check out our full review.
For Monument Recording artist Teddy Robb, the Get Away With It EP is a natural follow up to his 2020 self-titled offering. Featuring the hit “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You,” the debut EP introduced Robb, while the follow-up shows he’s here to stay. Interestingly, there were times during the past two years that Robb wasn’t sure if that was the case.
Completed during the pandemic, the singer-songwriter found himself at a turning point during the making of this record. “Everything was written from a place of reflection,” He says. “The whole EP came together during the pandemic when I spent a lot of time looking back on my life. I was forced to look at my career and say, ‘Do I think that music is a viable option?’ And ‘no’ was just not an acceptable answer.”
“Teddy has worked so hard to raise the bar as a writer and performer. His work ethic has really blown my mind. He’s the first one in the studio, and the last to leave,” shares Monument Records Co-President Shane McAnally in a statement. ““Whiskey Can’t” is proof of the time and passion he has poured into his craft.”
That track opens the EP in style, setting the stage for a collection that remains true to Robb’s sound, yet shows natural growth. He’s not chasing musical trends here, but honing his country sound. Written by Robb with Kelly Archer, Pete Good, Josh Jenkins, and Brandon Ratcliff, the track is about a woman who gives him a stronger buzz than any drink could. While he knows the buzz of whiskey, this is something different and special.
“’Cause I’ve been three sheets to the wind// But I ain’t never been this drunk// Never had a harder time getting out of bed// Or waking up,” He sings. “I feel something different// When I got you in my hands// There ain’t a better buzz// Girl, you do what the whiskey can’t.”
Robb is nostalgic on the truck song “1500,” which is far from the typical beers and tailgate track. Instead, it’s an ode to his teenage days spent in a special truck. Written by Robb, Good, Ratcliff, and Dave Turnbull, the idea of a truck song was originally scoffed at by Robb’s co-writers, but it was something the Ohio native believed in. “I said, ‘Look I know there’s a lot of truck songs, but I want to do my take on it.’” Shared Robb in a statement. “The first line we spit out was, ‘I was 16 in a 1500,’ and immediately we were like that’s the song right there.”
On “Get Away With It,” Robb shows his softer, more vulnerable side, wondering how he let a girl break his heart. On the twangy track, he admits that he’s usually the runner in relationships, but this time, the tables have turned.
“I’m the one that’s supposed to run, but I didn’t.” He admits. “Now you’re the one that I’m missing// and I’m the one that fell apart// Yeah you’re the one that got away// And stole my heart// but how’d you get away with it?”
“Middle of Nowhere” sees Robb still heartbroken, finding himself in a bar wondering about the one that got away. The dark, moody track throws a clever lyric over heavier instrumentation and guitar than we’re used to from the singer, but it works flawlessly here. He’s trying to move on with a new girl, but admits that he may be in the “middle of the night, middle of a bar, middle of kissing somebody new,” but he’s also in the “middle of nowhere over you.”
The EP concludes with “Cigarettes’ll Kill Ya,” a clever twist on the broken-hearted tracks. It takes a cigarette to remind him of the one who got away, as he sings:
“That secondhand smoke// From the red and black cloves// Same ones we used to burn// When we’d get a little loaded// Up on a Friday, buzzing the night away// Damn, you were one in a million// Now, I’m sitting right here in a missing you haze// Hurts a little more with every drag that she’s taking// Baby I’m dying just to be with you// Yep, cigarettes’ll kill ya”
For Teddy Robb, the Get Away With It EP was born from a place of reflection during the pandemic, and it’s a solid five-song collection that proves the singer-songwriter has a bright future ahead.

Matt Roy releases his debut EP, Wildflower, out now, February 25th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new music below and check out our full review.
Every now and then we come across a debut project that we absolutely love! Matt Roy’s new EP, Wildflower is one of those projects. The singer-songwriter captivated us with the five-song record. Each song provides fans with an intricate look into Roy’s unique artistry and talent.
Beginning with, “Easy To Find,” Roy showcases his personality and songwriting prowess. The debut single is the perfect introduction into the singer-songwriter’s one-of-a-kind talent. Roy’s other previously released song, “That Town, That Truck, That Song” is also featured on this EP. The song is nostalgia wrapped up in a pretty melody.
“Yeah that Main Street, midnight red light blinking // That hand me down two tone // Ford oil leaking // That long neck bottle for a microphone singing // In that town, that truck, that song // You learned every word on that burnt CD // I learned every curve on that torn bench seat // Last I heard you were in Tennessee // But to me, you’ll always be // In that town, that truck, that song”
Wildflower also boasts three brand new songs. “Morning In New Orleans,” the second song off the project is a true masterclass in songwriting. The lyrics weave through you, as you listen to the story unfold. The hook and the chorus drop in an unexpected way that keeps you wanting more.
The final two tracks are quite possibly our favorites on the record. “When You Lose Someone” is a heartbreaking ballad. The emotions this song brings to the forefront are raw and painful, yet relatable and cathartic. Roy’s vocals soar on the beautifully-crafted song.
“When you lose someone // Day turns to night, night turns to day // The grass grows knee-high in the yard // The razor don’t come near your face // When you lose someone // You kick yourself for things you did, but it’s funny how your memory only plays the greatest hits // When you lose someone”
The record culminates with the title track, “Wildflower.’ Quite possibly, one of the most personal on the project, Roy lets fans into the inner workings of his vices and his heart. The deeply passionate love song is worth the wait.
Overall, Roy’s debut EP is one of our favorites of the year so far. His ability to draw the listener in rivals any artist out there today. Wildflower is a true work of art that all fans of music should listen to.
Matt Roy’s debut EP, ‘Wildflower’ is officially here!

George Birge’s self-titled debut EP is out now, February 18th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new project below.
There are few things we love more than championing new artists! New recording artist and TikTok sensation, George Birge fits the bill. The singer-songwriter’s debut self-titled EP is officially here.
A collection of five well put-together songs, Birge showcases his vocals and writing talents as we get to know the new artist on the project. Co-writing four of the five tracks, the EP kicks off with the lone outside cut, “Reason To Go.” The song is inviting and heartfelt. It paints the picture of heartbreak and confidence all in the same breathe.
“No reason to stay is a good reason to go // No reason to try when one of us won’t // Ain’t just going to hang around // and gettin nowhere with you in this little town”
Next-up “Mind On You” showcases a romantic and flirtatious side to Birge. A smooth country slow-groove, the current single is a fan-favorite for good reason. Similarly, the record includes viral song, “Beer Beer, Truck Truck.” The song is a true ode to country music and country living.
Of course, the EP also boasts two brand new songs, arguably two of our favorites on the project. Written by Birge with Jaron Boyer, Michael Tyler, and Matt Stell, “Whiskey Side” gives fans a taste of the singer’s life and feelings.
Similarly, the other new song, “Didn’t Think I’d Miss” is an authentic inner look at Birge’s upbringing. Like many of us, who flee our hometowns, we always find ourselves feeling nostalgic and homesick, when we leave.
“I put that song on the stereo // She’s back in my arms again // Thought it’d be easy to let her go // But now I just can’t quit // Thinking about things I didn’t think I’d miss // Backroad buzzing where the train-track splits // A hometown girl and a goodbye kiss // Just thinking about things I didn’t think I’d miss”
“If I’m being honest, I’ve dreamed about making this project my whole life,” shared George in a recent press release. “Getting the opportunity to make the exact record I want to make, with the exact people I wanted to make it with, feels unbelievable. This project is me; I can’t wait to share it with the world.” This sentiment describes the debut EP to a tee, and we know country fans everywhere are going to continue to flock to Birge’s music.

Sean Stemaly’s new album, Product Of A Small Town is out now, February 18th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the album below.
Following in the footsteps of Florida Georgia Line and Chris Lane, country newcomer Sean Stemaly has paired with super-producer Joey Moi to release his debut album, Product Of A Small Town. Out today, February 18, the album is a fourteen song collection that includes eight songs co-written by Stemaly. Other writers contributing to the project include big names like HARDY, ERNEST, Jameson Rodgers, Josh Kerr, and Ashley Gorley.
The album opens with the title track, a driving dedication to growing up in a small town that sets the stage for the rest of the album. Here, Stemaly celebrates life in the country, and the people who are just like him. “We’re the product of a small town // Rowdy southern drawl crowd // Muddy water mason jar // Lightning in our veins,” He sings. “Work a blue-collar 40 // For a Friday night // Till it’s noise complaints and blue lights // Cranking country way too loud // We’re the product of a small town”
Country living is a theme that permeates Product Of A Small Town, lacing songs including “Back on a Backroad,” “Love Me Like Kentucky,” and “Can’t Be Me.” The theme continues through Stemaly’s collaboration with Jimmie Allen and Justin Moore on “WD-40 4WD,” one of the album’s clear high points. The trio trade vocals here on an ode to living the country lifestyle. “If you wanna be country, all you really need,” They sing. “Is some WD40 and a 4WD.”
Other highlights of the album include “Can’t Be Me” and “Last Night All Day.” The former is a bittersweet track where Stemaly tells a girl that if she can’t imagine living his country lifestyle, their relationship just won’t work out. If she can’t grow to love the way he lives, the future is bleak for their relationship. Meanwhile. “Last Night All Day” is a twangy and earwormy ode to a night you can’t forget with somebody special. Here, Stemaly can’t get her out of his head, replaying their night over and over.
Lyrically, “Georgia” is a high point of the album, cleverly weaving famous song titles into the chorus in a way that’s super catchy. “I got exes still in Texas // A couple girls that I don’t mess with // You’re the reason I ain’t seeing California girls // When I’m dreaming I’ve walked in Memphis,” He sings. “A night or two I spent my last dime // Callin’ Baton Rouge // But even after all this time // I still got Georgia on my mind.”
Additionally, “If Heaven Had a Weekend” is remnant of Moore’s “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” as we find the singer-songwriter longing for the ability to spend some time with those who have passed away. It’s a relatable and heartfelt track that everyone can relate to, with goodbyes not seeming so hard if heaven was a place we could visit. Stemaly took to social media about this track, writing “After my grandpa passed away I wanted to write a song for anyone whose felt the same pain I felt after losing someone you love. Hope this helps somebody.”
“There would be tears // But not near as many // And there’d still be time to make us some memories // And sayin’ goodbye wouldn’t feel so much like they were leavin’ // If Heaven had a weekend”
For Sean Stemaly, Product Of A Small Town is the perfect introduction to the country boy who is a little bit traditional, a little bit modern, and a whole lot of small town.

“Product Of A Small Town” (Sean Stemaly, David Bliek, Gary Garris, Andrew Marik, Noah West)
