Forget the Whale, an impressive local ensemble with seven members including trumpet, trombone and sax certainly qualifies as “indie rock.” The group’s new album, “The Devil You Know,” will be released to streaming platforms next Friday, Jan. 31, without benefit of a “major” (or, in fact, any) record label.

She’s a one-named diva who exudes soul and spirituality. He’s an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from Palisades Park with a stylistic debt to Dylan and Devendra Banhart. Rio the Messenger and Alexander Yearns may represent the yin and yang of their local music scene, but they’ll each celebrate the release of excellent new albums at a show together at Union City’s Green Space Studios on Saturday, Feb 1.

Because he committed crimes. Why can’t you get that? You break the law, you obstruct justice repeatedly, and you get arrested. Not rocket science, dude.
They’re so desperate that they just indicted the Mar-a-Lago Head of Maintenance, Carlos De Oliveira. The head of maintenance…
