Those sons of the Hammer have a new album, Rally Cry, forged and ready. Singles are being issued, “People’s Champ”, “Relentless” and now “Only for a Moment.” There’s movement in the camp, they are as the Hawk says, heading for the Big Time, Its right around the corner.

"There’s a line in our tune “Come To Light”, 'The underpass would keep us from harm.' It’s that moment when you’re driving through a rain storm, and you have a second of respite from the chaos outside. I find myself writing and thinking about those moments of calm, and how important they can be. “Only For A Moment” is an extension of that idea. My friend’s mom was struggling with some oppressive mental health issues. It was tough for everyone in her family. But there was a moment we were out one night, where my friend seemed to leave the trouble behind - just for an hour - and could just enjoy her life. The stress in her face seemed to disappear. And I was happy she could have that."  - Max Kerman

Also the Ham fam have released the video for “Relentless”

Barrie songstress Kalyna Rakei draws on ska, soul and R'nB for 'Who Knew'

Will McGuirk June 18, 2018

Who knew? Lots going on with Kalyna who has a sweet Amy Winehouse vibe, a little Jully Black, a little Serena Ryder. Lots going on and not just in the song from her new album, her fourth, "Before & After You" now available. Along with a lyric video which was drawn by Kalyna, the album comes with a hand drawn 24 four page comic telling the story of the album and which includes lyrics and liner notes. AND . . . the record is a two-part concept album, the before and the after. So after all that settle in, look, listen, read, immerse yourself in Rakei.

Everyone from Stevie Wonder to Whitney Houston is in here, even Alabama Shakes is in here - just when you think its all been done, all the soul mining is done, the gold done taken when Charlotte Day Wilson reveals there's a depth to the heart yet to be plumbed, the blues, the soul, the r and the b are not done yet not so long as people fail and rise, love and leave and face the long night alone with the dream of a new day. Day Wilson's 'Stone Woman' is the name of the EP due February 23 2018.
