If there is one thing you can say about South Carolina’s Emery, it’s that they’ve never come close to fitting into the proverbial box. You Were Never Alone, the band’s sixth full-length record will be dropping May 19th on BC Music. Additionally, fans will be able to experience each track meticulously discussed week by week on the brand new podcast from the BC Universe, Break It Down.

What do you get when you take two sets of brothers, the broken remnants of an unheard Alt-Country band, and the skills of a veteran bassist? Is it countless cases of beer? Maybe it’s endless amounts of broken guitar strings, or perhaps more simply, it’s those late night practices in an empty wood shed knowing you have to drag your ass into work the next morning. Well, it’s all of those things. More importantly, it’s the perfect combination of those things. It's none other than a genuine love for music that has forged The Deer Run Drifters. With one half of the band influenced by the sounds and lyrics of Alt-Country, and the other half deeply rooted in a more modern folk, The Deer Run Drifters have quickly carved themselves out a perfect spot in Americana music.

With a unique blend of roots rock and americana, Fort Worth’s own Matthew McNeal is making a name for himself as a young-gun in the DFW music scene. With conceptually-strong songwriting alongside a vibrant live show, the 22-year old finds himself traveling across Texas playing anywhere from honkytonks to house shows to dive bars- somehow never seeming out of place.

Hear the sound of colors electric. In the cold of December, warm up with Dahlia Revolt’s fiery debut album ROOFTOPS AND GRAFFITI; an energizing stream of songs channeling the connection between life, love and art. Dahlia Revolt is a collaborative creation founded by songwriters Adam Reese and Mallory Miller. Upon their first meeting in October of 2013, Reese and Miller agreed to express unique and imaginative sounds through artistic music that encouraged self-growth, understanding and movement.

Named as one of Paste Magazine's "Top 25 Shows at SXSW 2013", The Soft White Sixties are increasingly gaining recognition for their infectious live performances. Looking to add to their live show accolades, the band have been hard at work perfecting their sound, appropriately dubbed Working Class Soul — a gritty edge to modern pop. They mix their vast influences into a hard-hitting and confident force reminiscent of classic R&B and Rock 'n' Roll but with a contemporary sensibility. Octavio Genera (vocals), Aaron Eisenberg (guitar/keys), Ryan Noble (bass), and Joey Bustos (drums) combine soulful melodies, deep grooves, and fuzzed-out hooks to form a completely distinct sound.

Lindy Vopnfjord:  Born into an Icelandic family in equally icy Manitoba, Canada, of musician parents, Lindy & his brother were on stage touring by the time he was 4. By the late ‘90s he started making music under just his given name, found greater success fronting the band Major Maker, who achieved commercial succeeds with 2007’s Rollercoaster. After taking some time off to start and raise a family, Lindy returned with the acclaimed Young Waverer, released in Canada in 2013, featuring the singles “The Limit”, which hit #1 on CBC Radio 2 and “Below The Canopy”, which hit #1 on CBC Radio 3.

Dylan Jakobsen may be only 21 years old but you wouldn’t know it from his music. Based out of Seattle, WA, Dylan broke away from the "90's grunge" mold and found himself as a Country Rock musician. “Nothing’s ever felt more right.” Said Dylan when asked: Why Country? “I'm just creating the kind of music I love and Country’s [become] a part of me.” Dylan uses feel good harmonica riffs and vivid storytelling to captivate his audience within the music. “I want to paint a story people feel like they've become a part of.”

Kiss Me Deadly started in 2008 with singer/songwriter Jen Poland playing guitar and Pat McKay on drums under the name of The Poland Invasion. The band gathered Dr. Evan Lieberman in early 2009 and we began playing out and recording. In December of 2009, Dr. Lieberman directed the band's first music video "Ice house."

The Speedbumps are an award-winning band from the great state of Ohio. Americana-UK calls their carefully orchestrated music "wistful acoustic Folk pop" led by the soulful and rootsy crooner, Erik Urycki.

Armed with a sound that mixes the rootsy stomp of the Southern states with the trippy swoon of the West Coast, Folk Family Revival make music for rock clubs and rodeos, dive bars and honky-tonks, or campfires and cantinas. A throwback to a time when Southern rock and psychedelic music dominated the airwaves, they may be best described as a psychedelic folk-country rock and roll band, but they’re not wild about labeling their sound. They’d rather let the music do the talking.
