How about we switch gears here for a moment. I know we post up a lot of rock, indie, and hip hop, but we also want to start branching out and covering more genres. (See the ABOUT MIGRATE MUSIC NEWS tab at the top).

Let us introduce to you Balance and the Traveling Sounds.

BTS combines  a variety of musical tastes, cultural backgrounds, eclectic grooves and lush harmonies to create an innovative, captivating and addicting sound accessible by any music enthusiast. This powerhouse of soul, funk, jazz and hip-hop-inspired grooves is composed of seven diverse musicians from a variety of metropolises up and down the Golden Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego). Comprised of producer EBO, MC KIRB, vocalist Mike Eddie, drummer Julian Hogan, saxophonist Jeff Kolhede, guitarist Ryan Kern, and bass guitarist Scott Fulton. Embodying old-school class with a hip-hop edge, Balance and the Traveling Sounds melds the raw honesty of live instrumentation and introspective lyrics with hip-hop sampling and imaginative beats. They add a modern twist to the musical acts that came before and inspired their musical progress, making them a group of tireless artists with an unparalleled level of devotion to the art form.

Watch Odd Future in their Hometown Documentary

I always listen to the music, watch the music video’s or check whatever i’m posting to Migrate Music out fully before posting it. This is a documentary of Odd Future in their Hometown just doin what they do in their everyday not so normal life’s. I only watch it for two minutes and I thought it was so entertaining in that two minutes, i’m not going to finish the video before posting it. I think you all see this as fast as you can. If you still at work, plug your headphones in or turn down the volume really low because there is no profanity beep in this video. Watch the documentary below.

Ozzy Osbourne hears lost recording of Randy Rhoads for the first time

I remember when I was about 10 or so and I got a guitar tablature book of the Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads Tribute record. I was so excited to learn how to play Crazy Train! Nothing beats the feeling when you were younger to being able to play along with your rock idols on a *cough* cassette tape for the first time.

Anyways…when I saw this little bit of footage gold, I got excited to hear what lost recording Rhoads was on, and two, to see Ozzy’s reaction.

Watch below:

 

Sick huh?!
