Fresh Friday Vol. 2 - 01/16/2026

Say We Burn is a band who I first saw at Outlaw Cigar in North Kansas City back in September. The metal band released their debut single “Cointoss” on December 16. The song packs POWER. It totally sounds like it belongs to the 1980s/1990s, even though the band members themselves were barely alive then! The drive of the energy is immediate from the first second, reflecting the energy the band brings to the stage. . .

Gabrielle Ornate is a solo artist from London, England. I have been following her music journey of indie-pop and spiritual rock music since 2019. Her newest single “Metaphysical” was released on January 9. The track blossoms with reminiscent of the band Heart with powerful vocals, strong percussion, and gorgeous cover art.

Kansas City-based Spaceborne Killers released a brand new single TODAY on January 16. “RTV” overflows with energy, proudly proclaiming 170 beats per minute. The song is relentless in its determination to rock the audience’s world. And rock it, it damn sure does.
