The Common Man Singers are composed of eight men and one female vocalist, whose chanting is rich, impassioned and exciting. The group has translated a collection of Lakota love songs and sings them in English. It is surprising at first to hear and understand these songs done with traditional drumming and chanting melodies. As the music proceeds, however, we readily appreciate these earthy songs: "Many a Time," "I've Taken a Wife," "The Gate.". It is an integral part of Lakota culture that The Common Man Singers share with us.

Beach Bunny's new EP Blame Game, via Mom+Pop Music, follows the band’s 2020 Billboard Top 10 debut album Honeymoon, which received 4 STARS from Rolling Stone - and a print profile - a multi-page critic’s essay from The New Yorker and features with The Cut, i-D, Paper, Nylon and many more. Where Honeymoon centered on the highs and lows of new love, Blame Game takes aim at toxic masculinity, sexism and the emotional labor of unreliable relationships. Blame Game was written in quarantine and recorded in Chicago over a week in August. The four new original songs are produced by Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Joyce Manor, Modern Baseball, Remo Drive).
