Ask A Manager: Mandy Beats
There is SO much information out in the world now, that it’s sometimes hard to know what is good advice vs a trending post. And musician’s are not only fighting the noise to get their music out there, but also fighting the noise to find solid business and marketing advice. And that is why recommendations make all the difference now a days!
The Early 2000s Scene
They’ve released their latest single, “The Attic”, which tackles topics like momentary existentialism with punk rock melodies and poetic lyrics, reminding me almost of Rise Against.

The Life of a Creative
Trying to find a balance between family, friends, marketing, networking and creating… all while paying your bills. Very few even get lucky enough to get the chance to maintain this balancing act.

Sometimes You Have to Shazam!
As I was shopping at Zara for new clothes for my upcoming girls beach weekend, I heard this song that made me stop and take out my shazam.
Time to Chill
After a long day, I needed to *chill* out in the bath, so I put on my favorite ambient playlist, and after this song came on, I had to jump out to see who it was.
So Cal Keeps Delivering
It’s classic high-energy punk, fast guitars, but with deep-meaning philosophical lyrics that ask questions like: Is reality a byproduct of the human experience; or is the human experience the consequence of reality?
Time to Celebrate!
From rooftop lounges to late night drives, this chill track is the perfect playlist addition for celebrating all things good.
Let’s Talk About Love
One of the singles on the album, “123”, also has a music video shot at Coney Island! The video was shot in a day, after having just finished a USA Northeast coast tour.

As is Tep No’s way, his smooth vocals, simple but emotionally gripping lyrics, and catchy melodies, will leave many of these songs stuck in your head.
Think of the Children
Overflowing with soft guitars, heartfelt lyrics, and a compelling story to unfold, this track captures the essence of childhood trauma and the pain that can linger on.

Taking their teenage rebellion and creating energetic songs with catchy lyrics, bringing me back to my own teen years of house party bands and head banging.
