Launching your artwork into the world can be a whirlwind of manic activity, especially when it’s your first time. Mr. J Medeiros is not new to releasing albums, he’s put out 3 albums as a member of the Procussions. But putting a solo work out into the world is a whole new game. ([More →])

More great music from Mr. J Medeiros’ upcoming solo-debut album Of gods and girls. The album won’t hit the streets until July 24th, but Medeiros and his management have been kind enough to trickle a few songs out in the meantime.

Jarret Meyer, the co-founder of Rawkus Records, loves Medeiros, and bigs him up with statements like this:

“In terms of content and artistry, Mr J. ranks among the top artists I have had the pleasure of working with. But, what separates Mr J. as an individual is an unrelenting DIY punk spirit. He is definitely a career artist who will continue to make a big impact on music and culture.”
