Mora's Music

Although this newsletter is mainly dedicated musicians, vocalists and entertainers residing in either North or South Carolina, Mora is presently working with a Carolina stationed Online Music Marketing Firm and for that reason along with Mora having a nice well produced single that we all enjoy that also happens to be generating a huge buzz on the web we here at The Carolina Inquirer will make an exception for Mora in this case.

Carolina Bands On The Rise: The Situationals
Written by Chris Coleman
The Situationals is a band from Charlotte, NC powered by their love of 80’s style Alternative rock and Contemporary Indie rock. They put a modern spin on Post Punk Power pop. By Definition, “Power pop" (or powerpop) is a popular musical genre that draws its inspiration from 1960s British and American pop and rock music. It typically incorporates a combination of musical devices such as strong melodies, crisp vocal harmonies, economical arrangements, and prominent guitar riffs. The most important and influential band in Power pop history are The Beatles.
From their Myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/thesituationals. There are 5 different tracks by The Situationals. These tracks were "Celebrity Meltdown", "Play", "Sometimes",
"Way too Blue", and "Boys of Troy". "Celebrity Meltdown" is a great song, it paints a picture of a Celebrity having problems in their life, and that they are forced to show people their personal life, no matter what happens. A great lyric in this song is “Sitting there on my T.V screen, man are you ok?”. "Play" has a sad feeling to it. The lead singer, Candice Tucker, sang as if the song was about her life struggles and that she had no time for sympathy, she had to “Play”.
"Sometimes" has very pumped up rock cords backed up by Candice Tucker singing about what seems to be about throwing caution to the wind and sometimes doing what you feel like doing. "Way too Blue" sounds like a great break up song. In the beginning, you think its going to be a depressing song. Finally, "Boys of Troy" sounds like a tribute to the entitled, “boys” of Troy, and what happened to them, and their city, their heaven, and how the band sees Charlotte, NC as there heaven.
Other than Candice Tucker, the band also includes Kelly Morse, Todd Day, Jason Perkins, and MichaelCarinelli. The songs listed above, and more are on the album, Heaven is High, and the Emperor is far Away,
that is available now. Look out for their new album, Bellwether. about the old “ boy meets girl, they date, then boy leaves girl, girl is sad” but its more about trying to forget about the “boy” rather than missing him.

New Mixtape from UnXplained Country Days, & City Nights
Take a listen to the latest mixtape
from 2 Da Realness Entertainment recording artists
UnXplained titled
Country Days, City Nights.
Country Days, City Nights.
Kam Moye (Supastition) Retires
For those who have been asking for updates on myself and my album. Kam Moye is longer an artist on MYX Music Label. As of a few months ago, MYX Music is no longer in business from my understanding. At this point my album is kind of lost in the shuffle and I am hoping to get things resolved as far as rights to the music go. The mother company ABS-CBN took some serious losses in the past year so they cut off finances for it’s smaller subsidiaries including the label. It was beyond my control and nothing could have prevented it. More than a few artists lost their deals. I’ve dealt with a similar situation before when Chain Letters in 2005 was released and two or three months later the distribution company shut down without warning. That’s just the way the ball bounces. Hopefully things will work out for all parties. I wish Karim Panni (label manager of MYX) all the best in his new endeavors. There will be no more singles or videos off of the album. Thanks to those who supported the album. I am grateful for the opportunity regardless.
At this time, I have no plans on recording another professional solo album as Kam Moye or Supastition. This decision isn’t based on my recent situation with MYX Music but based on the state of the music industry and where it’s going. It wasn’t an easy decision for me but I felt that it was the best choice. I’ve sacrificed a lot of money and time and it’s just not worth it to continue with it the way I have done in the past. All isn’t bad news though… I have enough unreleased songs saved in the stash at this point to compile a few more albums. With that being said, I’m going to put those songs together and make them available for free download as soon as I can get clearance from the producers and guest artists involved. There is no release date and there won’t be one. There will be no labels or promo involved. Whenever I can get the okay from everyone involved then I’ll put up a link on my site, Facebook, etc… It’s as simple as that. Not to mention, I have recorded close to 100 guest appearances in my career so I’m sure they will continue popping up on the internet throughout the years. There are some other MC/producer projects that I already had in the works with Dela (from France), D.R. (Electric Ave), and Madwreck. I’m a man of my word so I will make sure that those projects are finished and completed. I’ve been left hanging way too many times by people that I’ve worked with in the music industry so I’d never do that to people I respect. I mainly chose to do projects with them based on their talent, loyalty, and just being good people and friends in general. The collaboration project with Dela may be released on CD/iTunes depending on what he decides to do with it but the other two projects will be free releases. Also, I just provided DJ Concept (Bash Brothers) with over 70 songs to release in a Kam Moye/Supastition mixtape series in order to help distribute the remaining songs in my catalog.
Although I’ll always write and record music, I have no interest in to pursuing it professionally anymore as an artist beyond this point. 5 record deals, 3 albums, 3 EP’s, 5 videos, 12 countries, and 40+ U.S. cities is more than enough for me to be proud of. I know some people will wonder why can’t I still just make music? The truth is that I have never “just made music” because most of my career I have managed myself (until recently), booked most of my own shows & tours, found my own record deals, found my own producers, and most recently recorded my own music. That takes a toll on you and your personal life after awhile. Out of all those duties, I spent the least amount of time rapping and recording music. With music being technically free nowadays, that’s way too much effort for the results I’ve seen. Waking up to see a blog giving away your entire discography for free followed by a single sentence saying “support the artist” is a very humbling thing to see when your rent is due. That’s not bitterness, it’s just today’s reality… I’m at peace with that. I’m going to make sure that the rest of the music in my catalog will reach those fans who have supported me over the years. This isn’t some corny retirement speech or “I quit” rant… just me personally giving you an update on what to expect and what not to expect from me. I’m sure people will interpret it any way that they like though. I had originally written a lengthy and personal message breaking down a lot of things but I realized that nothing on the internet is personal anymore. Thanks all of those who have supported and all of you who will continue. I’ll update you on things as soon as I can. Hopefully you will enjoy the rest of the music and if not then you have more than enough music from me already. Peace and respect y’all.

Carolina Bands on The Rise: Rogue Nation
Written by Chris Coleman
I have recently been listening to a Charlotte North Carolina based band called, The Rouge Nation. They have a CD out already called Be Your Own Rouge Nation. The album has 18 tracks, 19 if you count the Ending skit. When it starts, you here this Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Officer reporting in to other officers about a fire hydrant and then you get thrown into this awesome song called “ Your Blowing Smoke”. It has a pure punk rock sound in every song. The Rouge Nations also throw in comedy with songs like “Capitan Assgrab”, “Paris Hilton Generation” and “If I Were To Kill OJ This Is What It Would Sound Like”. They are true to the Punk sound in all of their tracks. My favorite Tracks on this CD are “Unicorn”, “If I Were to Kill OJ” and the title track “ Be your own Rouge Nation”.
The Whole album is great in my opinion.
The Band is made up of Chris Peigler - Bass and Vocals, Keith Barnes - Drums, Mike Earle - Guitar and Vocals, Luke Warm (2006-2009)- Guitar and Vocals, Kevin Gavagan (2005-2007) - Drums and Insults, Eric Seitlin (2005-2006)- Guitar and Vocals. Also, check out their EP, American Ruins. They have a great review on I Tunes saying “These guys are from my city, Charlotte, NC. They are just some great dudes that like to play punk rock. They sound kinda like the Circle Jerks or like Sex Pistols kinda stuff. If you like Punk, get this. “ Go Check out their Myspace page, http://www.myspace.com/theroguenations, and also,
this goes out to the former Band member, Luke Warm. Rest in Peace. Condolences goes out to your family.
