Seattle band Gibraltar has spent almost a decade walking a tightrope balance between indie-rock introspection and fist-pumping rock heroics. Their last full-length, 2017’s Let’s Get Beautiful, pretty much perfected that very fine line, with a set of songs that seamlessly incorporated elements of post-punk and goth music with the anthemic catharsis of classic rock artists…
We covered some great music here at Artist Home dot org in 2020. I’m proud of that, and I’m especially proud of how much Artist Home did last year to advocate for PNW artists, musicians of color, and local indie venues. But I won’t lie: Like everyone else who lived through it, 2020 really did…
The members of Warren Dunes are three of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They’re so nice, it’d almost be annoying, except that it’s not an act. Their genuineness, and their considerable talent, inform their music in the best possible way, which makes us here at Artist Home extra-proud to premiere Get Well Soon, the…
Between her work as lead singer/bass player/percussionist for PNW electro-pop duo The Spider Ferns and as the founder of creative PR firm LoFlux Media, Kelly Fleek’s a well-respected member of the local music scene.

Over the last eight years or so, Seattle-based singer-songwriter Wes Speight’s recorded a catalog of songs that draw from mainstream rock, piano balladry, and an Americana tinge that reflects his Tennessee roots. All of that’s on display in Benevolent Transformer, his newest EP, and we’re proud to premiere it here at Artist Home. <a href=”http://wesspeight.bandcamp.com/album/benevolent-transformer-2″>Benevolent…

When it became clear that COVID would economically devastate independent artists in Seattle, a city where artists where already struggling to make ends meet pre-pandemic, several local independent artists formed Seattle Independent Artist Sustainability Effort (SIASE). Formed just last month, SIASE is an organization dedicated to advocating for the rights of independent artists in the…
Editor’s Note: While this interview took place before the current pandemic, we feel it’s a great look at how and why two local DJs, both staunch supporters of local music, do what they do. And that’s a much-needed reminder of why, to coin one of these stations’ phrases, the music matters. Enjoy. Eva Walker and…
