The very popular DJs and style icons the Broken Hearts host Peppermint Candy on Jazz FM weekly.

During their radio program, they include trivia such as Jazz Era swing…

Staffed by a raucous band of jazz musicians and Abney Park alumni (including the dread Captain Robert), Good Co just released their first album Electro Swing for the Masses last week. After listening to the…

The following interview is what I intend to be the first in a series. As a swing artist myself, I thought it would be fun to interview some of the popular swing musicians that punk the genre in their own special way - the “Bad Boys of Swing.”

Behind the Grey Matter of The Grey Griffins

In the world of YA (Young Adult) fiction these days, you can't swing a sparkley vampire around without hitting some barely hidden teen erotica that would make any parent blush if they actually read it. Thankfully, Jon S Lewis and his Teen Titans of steampunk, The Grey Griffins can pull us out of…
