India Ramey-Snake Handler

Blasting twin barrels of Americana noire and southern-gothic songwriting, India Ramey fires on all cylinders with her national debut, Snake Handler.

Stage Republic Gives Us A Passionate Performance and Emotional Single with Wailing Walls

by Joshua (J.Smo) Smotherman November 9, 2017 10:25 am Tagged With: alternative rock, Amsterdam, Europe, indie rock, Netherlands, singer, songwriter

Stage Republic-Wailing Walls

Amsterdam based Stage Republic take a new, more intuitive direction with their latest emotion-evoking, cathartic single Wailing Walls. I wrote the song on the night I got terrible news about a good friend. It deals with unfairness and knowing there’ll be loss before it’s loss. It’s something I needed to make. I did all the […]
