"Following a successful US tour and residency at the Living Room in NYC's Lower East Side, Miami folk artist Sam Friend releases the music video for `Find Fine Light`, the first single from his upcoming album, Spirit Mirror". Sam Friend`s enigmatic storytelling is a touching example of bouncy Folk-Pop and dark edged melodies. I absolutely adored the 2008 video release of ` Part of the show ` but admittedly found the majority of work on ` Secure and Fastened for Daisy Buchanan ` leaning towards a subtle overload of artistic heaviness. A few listens into the [...]
"I'm looking for something that'll...break through. You know?" James Woods' Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg's 1983 cult classic Videodrome . Oh, how things have changed. In today's day and age, we've drowned in media. It's swallowed us. We're nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you're losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that's moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone...left behind...abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that's more like it. -Michael Roffman President/Editor-in-Chief
Sam Friend - Part of the Show There`s a huge selection of reviews and music submissions waiting for deserved attention, in fact at a quick glance i`ve got promotional emails dated as far back as two months.

Same name, different look, i`m hopeful the transition will be relatively seamless and I can get [...]

Crafting captivating songs about love and loss, Friend uses a variety of instruments from classical strings to a mandolin. His voice is reminiscent of early Conor Oberst and [...]

Miami artist Sam Friend recently contacted us about the release of his newest video for his track "Part of the Show" and I'm loving it! Seems his latest album Lady Madly has been winning accolades for album of the year in 2010 and I can see why. Beautiful melodic folky pop rock that's soothing to the ears and the soul. Great music to unwind to as the night sets in. Love supporting deserving Miami artists and Sam Friend is [...]
