Dancing Through Hard Times: The Rise of the Recession pop
The first time I heard the term ârecession pop,â I thought it was a joke. After all, what could possibly be so joyful about a struggling economy, skyrocketing rents, and high grocery bills that youâd consider taking a part-time job as a cucumber farmer? But then I pressed play on the playlist by that name, and it clicked: Recession pop isnât about ignoring realityâitâs about living to a beat you can dance to.

OF LIMBO Have Leveled Up With New "Unplugged" LP
Long Beach, CA Rockers OF LIMBO have just released their new âUnpluggedâ album, which shows a deeper, more thoughtful side of the band. They have built a reputation of performing over-the-top, rowdy and fun live shows with their high energy version of heavier rock. This new LP showcases a more intimate and contemplative side, and they show growth and are leveling up - by exhibiting how broad a range they have beyond writing and performing hard rock bangers. The album showcases a quieter acoustic sound with a mix of original songs and 3 covers of classic tracks. They produced and mixed this set of songs at their home studio, and had it mastered at Long Beach Mastering by Brian Frederick.
