Jack and Adam from Mercy Kelly say:

'Controversial but some fantastic new music is being created but to us at least, it feels like a small number of powerful industry insiders and their powerful controlled publication streaming platforms services are artificially influencing what consumers access, this is inevitabley leading to serious talent and content being lost.... but hopefully there's a digital revolution coming and new initiatives like MUSOSOUP have the potential to re shape the musical landscape'

'And in addition with AI, and unchecked Algorithms some of these controling individuals can artificially create the so called new artisttalent/scene to sell to the masses..... I.e no actual human garage band interaction ,all that's left in the mainstream is just truly manufactured artificial songs/content dominating the airways lining the pockets of those faceless millionaires...'

sammy. /REVERSIES - Full of Lies

sammy. /REVERSIES, a one-person DIY alternative rock project based in Tokyo. His sound is rooted in grunge, emo, and punk, but also influenced by J-rock and pop.

"Full of Lies” is an emotionally explosive track blending catchy J-rock energy with the angst of 2000s alt-rock. It deals with messy emotions, self-hate, and the frustration of being misunderstood—wrapped in a loud, melodic sound that’s both aggressive and vulnerable. If you’re into emotionally driven rock from artists like YUNGBLUD, Nirvana, or Japanese bands like w.o.d., this might speak to you.

sammy. /REVERSIES says:

'Grunge and alternative rock will never die. It's just hiding in people like me.'
