We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the great Tommy DeCarlo.
Tommy will forever be remembered by fans around the world as the powerful voice behind the album ‘Life, Love & Hope’ with Boston, as well as for the other music that he created with us. Through the years we had the privilege of working with him on several releases, including ‘Lightning Strikes Twice’ and his solo album, ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’.
Tommy also joined us on stage at the Frontiers Rock Festival in 2019, delivering a memorable performance that perfectly captured his passion for music and connection with the fans.
Beyond his extraordinary voice, Tommy was a kind and genuine person who will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, bandmates, and fans around the world.

Blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Gabe Stillman will release his sophomore album What Happens Next? on March 27 via Gulf Coast Records, marking his official debut on the label.
Stillman has spent the last decade steadily building his reputation through relentless touring and a growing body of recorded work.

His debut album of original material later reached the top 10 on the Billboard Blues Chart, helping establish him as one of the rising voices in modern blues.
What Happens Next? finds Stillman continuing to expand his sound while staying rooted in the blues. The album blends grit, groove, and emotional depth as Stillman explores themes of self-reflection, loss, pride, and renewal. Throughout the record, his songwriting balances moments of vulnerability with humor and confidence, supported by strong musicianship and his expressive guitar work.
The album reflects an artist navigating change and personal growth while pushing forward creatively. From introspective moments to high-energy performances, What Happens Next? captures Stillman stepping further into his identity as both a guitarist and songwriter.
With the release of the new album, Stillman also joins the roster of Mike Zito’s Gulf Coast Records, a label known for championing contemporary blues artists who honor tradition while pushing the genre forward.
What Happens Next? arrives March 27.

No longer numb now I can see Now I know how much hurt is inside of me Your feelings are dead to me, dead to me.. dead to me.. dead to meeeeee
There is a certain kind of song that arrives carrying its own weather, as if it has already passed through the storm and come back with the story still written across its face. Tranquilatwist, the Rochester duo of Karlie and Anthony Lanni, tap into that feeling with a new single that walks straight into the wreckage of a relationship built on devotion, only to find the slow, necessary work of selfhood waiting on the other side. It feels lived-in and wise, the kind of music made by people who understand that real emotional fallout rarely arrives in a single flash.
The song’s overarching ache comes from the collapse of a bond once treated as sacred. Love and identity have been so tightly bound together that one seems to vanish inside the other. “There was never me, it was always we” lands like the moment the room changes temperature, the instant when private hurt sharpens into recognition. From there, the song moves through outrage, grief, and release with a steady sense of purpose, as buried pain rises to the surface and the old emotional arrangement reveals itself for what it was: a place of confinement dressed up as safety. By the time the singer reaches toward buoyancy and self-reclamation, the words carry the glow of survival.
The music wraps that emotional arc in a gorgeous “down-tempo Goth” atmosphere that feels soft around the edges and steel-wired at the center. The vocals bring to mind Kate Bush, Loreena McKennitt, Annie Lennox, Strange Boutique, and Portishead. There is something deeply felt in the phrasing, a wounded grace that moves across the electronic arrangement with patience and poise. Around it, Tranquilatwist builds a world of hushed beats, drifting textures, and slow-burning mood, giving the song a sense of ceremonial release.
The haunting self-directed video beautifully captures that emotional terrain. Its montage of outdoor vignettes and sincere performance scenes leans into dreamlike imagery without losing its emotional footing. A smoking jack-in-the-box becomes the perfect symbol for the bad surprises hidden inside intimacy, the boxed-in role, the old hurt waiting to spring loose. Smoke curls through the frame like a cleansing force, while dance and ritual gestures suggest a kind of spiritual reset, clearing out old ghosts and stale expectations. There is something lovely in the way the clip frames this recovery as both private and mythic: the return of a buried self.
Watch Bend below:
Tranquilatwist have made a song about heartbreak that feels less like collapse than conversion. The pain stays in the picture, but so does the chance to rise from it with clarity, with motion, with your own name back in your mouth. It’s the perfect time for some spring cleaning.
