On the album recorded by Camilo Rengifo (Árbol de Ojos), the band goes through the wide range of its influences, taking up elements of ‘60s pop, punk and the garage rock revival of the early 2000s to create a sound that recalls the best of the past while sounding new: upbeat and nostalgic, with observational lyrics and a dose of dark humor.

It is the culmination of a seven year trajectory where they have played in important venues across Colombia and the United States, including the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, the Día de Rock Colombia Festival and the Selina International Music Summit in Medellín. A tour of Mexico promoting the new album was postponed due to the pandemic.

Throughout the last year the band has been focused on releasing songs from the album, including “Ahí Estaré”, with a music video that was nominated in the BOGOSHORTS film festival, “Weekends” which has amassed more than 100,000 streams and “Lost in Space”, a cosmic ballad featuring Juli from the Brooklyn-based electropop duo, Salt Cathedral.

Better Days is the most important expression so far of everything No Stories is; both in sound and in concept. Although people always talk of the “better days” that have passed and those that are still to come, the band wants to imagine what the dimension where those “better days” exist would be like, and invite the listener to escape to the world of No Stories for the 34 minutes that the album lasts.

This concept is related to some of the band’s favorite themes: nostalgia and the passage of time. Most of the songs are about love, but always with a twist of dark humor. They include stories of skeletons, teleportation, astronauts lost in space, robots, and witchcraft. In a way, the idea of “Better Days” also characterizes the sound of the band, with one foot in the past and the other in the future:

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
