Noah Kenton


      

Seventeen year old, Noah Kenton is a talented young musician, truly something special. Inspired by his deep love for electronic music including artists like Sirensceol, Sonny Moore, and Clams Casino, Noah's distinct sound blends elements of electronic into the acoustic genre. 

Along with the combination between the styles of music, the lyrics on Kenton's debut EP are what evoke the personal struggles the talented musician has faced. Focusing on themes like loss and longing; you will find yourself enjoying the honest emotion that is brought to you by his unique musical and lyrical styles. Despite these personal struggles, the songs aspire closure and freedom in a way that is both organic and refreshing. 

Noah states, "From a different angle, this EP for me is a lot more about resolving problems from my past more than anything else. From aspects like coming to grips with my distaste for the religion I was brought up to just missing people and failed friendships. This project brought me a lot of closure on some issues that I had been working through during the recording process and I feel so free now that it's all finished."

Noah Kenton’s new single “Oh No” is an emotionally-driven song that pulls you in with piano notes and heart-felt guitar strums. Give the song a couple of listens and you will love the song the more. It’s hard to believe “Oh No” was created by a seventeen year old; I can’t wait to hear what else Noah releases.

Cage the Elephant


            

Cage the Elephant released a haunting and beautiful video for "Cigarette Daydreams," one of the most beloved songs on their new album, Melophobia. Acclaimed director Mark Pellington worked closely with Matt Shultz on the project, and together they created a moving portrait of the song's true meaning featuring a very special guest. Mark Pellington is best known for his work with the likes of Pearl Jam, Nine Inch Nails, U2 and acclaimed films, including Arlington Road and The Mothman Prophecies.

Additionally, Cage the Elephant, arguably one of the best live bands around today, have now captured their blistering live show in the form of their upcoming release- The Live EP. The 5-track collection was recorded at the band's concert at The Ogden Theater in Denver, CO on May 17th. It will be released digitally on October 7th 2014 via RCA Records. The Live EP features live recordings of the bands hit single "Shake Me Down," and tracks from their critically-acclaimed third album Melophobia: "Cigarette Daydreams," "Spiderhead," "Telescope," and the No. 1 alternative hit "Come A Little Closer." They have had a huge summer playing almost every major US festival including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Lollapalooza, always coming out the other side as one of the must-see acts at the festival. Cage the Elephant is Matt Shultz (vocals), Brad Shultz (guitar), Daniel Tichenor (Bass) and Jared Champion (drums).

"With Skrillex on guitar and Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz on vocals? You'd have to see it live at Bonnaroo, or not see it at all."
