BlowUpRadio.com's New & Notable NJ Music 11/14/22

By Lazlo

originally published: 11/14/2022

Lazlo, founder of BlowUpRadio.com (an online radio station based around New Jersey artists), shines a light on some of the many new releases from NJ based musicians each week with this column. This week Lazlo takes a look at releases by Jeff Devito, Southpaw, Sonofdov, The Tremendous Mouthfuls, and Those Looks.

Jeff Devito - "Sagittarius". The second solo album from Jeff Devito (Particle Zoo), "Sagittarius" takes the listener on a real auditory journey. It manages to traverse different sounscapes and ideas, while still sounding cohesive as an album.

Best listened to lying down in a darkened room with big headphones on.

Southpaw - "Your Name" [single]. NJ country act Southpaw's last single, Whiskey & Whine, was a fun upbeat party tune. Their latest single, "Your Name", shows a different side of the band, with a beautiful laid back ballad that is perfection.

Sonofdov - "Torchbearer" [single]. November... the cool air of the fall, the shorter days & longer nights, and the leaves underfoot... all of which pair perfectly with Sonofdov's latest introspective single, "Torchbearer" from his forthcoming EP, Fangs (out 11/18).

The Tremendous Mouthfuls - "The Greatest Love Song" [single]. Keith Peters returns with his new band "The Tremendous Mouthfuls", and a catchy new single, "The Greatest Love Song". He may never write the greatest love song, but this song's chorus has been rattling around in my head all day.

Those Looks - "Cults Near Me". Those Looks? More like, Those Sounds!

"Cults Like Me" is an album chock full of dreamy pop tunes. I want to go lie outside and stare at the clouds going by on a sunny day with this album blaring thru big headphones. 

That's all for this week.
