Yes, Trump-era tariffs (or any new tariffs he might propose if re-elected) can absolutely affect the music industry—though often indirectly. Here’s how:

How Trump tariffs effect the music industry
🎸 1. Instrument Costs Could Go Up
Many musical instruments and equipment—guitars, amps, synthesizers, mics—are manufactured or assembled overseas (especially in China, Mexico, and parts of Europe). Tariffs on imported goods raise prices on:
-
Instruments (like Fender or Gibson models with foreign components)
-
Studio gear and DJ equipment
-
Music tech like MIDI controllers, audio interfaces, etc.
Higher prices = tougher for musicians, especially indie artists or schools, to afford gear.
📀 2. Vinyl Records & Pressing Costs
Vinyl production has made a big comeback, but a lot of pressing materials and machines come from outside the U.S.
-
Tariffs on plastics or metal parts could raise costs for pressing plants
-
Labels (especially indie ones) may raise prices or cut back on physical releases
📦 3. Touring Gets More Expensive
If retaliatory tariffs are introduced by other countries (e.g., the EU), U.S. artists touring abroad might face:
-
Higher shipping/customs fees for gear
-
Visa and performance tax issues
-
Lower demand due to higher ticket or merch prices
🛍️ 4. Merchandising Impact
Many band merch items (T-shirts, hoodies, hats) are manufactured in Asia or Central America. Tariffs on textiles could increase production costs, which:
-
Shrinks profit margins
-
Might raise merch prices for fans
🔄 5. Global Collaboration Gets Murkier
The music industry is global. Producers, labels, and artists often work across borders. Tariffs can:
-
Strain cross-border partnerships
-
Slow down shipping of music hardware or promotional materials
-
Lead to unpredictable costs for labels and distributors
Final Thought:
While tariffs might not directly shut down music venues or stop you from streaming, they can raise the cost of creating, sharing, and experiencing music. That especially hits smaller players—indie artists, local labels, music teachers, and DIY scenes.

Janita – New Single “In Front Of Your Eyes” Out TODAY
The Heard Eye Presents ‘All Love’
The Heard Eye surprises the music scene with their latest single called ‘All Love’. The band released the magical and intricate track on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025. ‘All Love’ feels and brings an evocative touch, yet it stays fresh and creates a soundscape of modern rock.
Somewhere in between funk, jazz, Latin, and world music, ‘All Love’ manages to stay original, unique, alluring, moving and proves to create a wonderful world of its own.
‘All Love’ is an upbeat and enjoyable groove intertwined with an infectious melody and positive energies. It is said that Paul Schneider (all around musician) unexpectedly heard the song in a dream, woke up, and brought the magic to life. Along with Hannes De Kassian (guitarist), Chris Studer (Keyboardist), Greg Dunn (bassist), and Peter Ffrench (Drummer), ‘All Love’ became a dream come true. The Heard Eye’s latest tune showcases the band’s distinctive gift to blend funk and rock all into one. ‘All Love’ almost sounds as if the late 90’s and early 2000’s met right in the middle and gave birth to a whole new and delightful musical land. Paul Schneider’s vocals may remind the listener of late Stone Temple Pilots’ vocalist Scott Weiland. The acoustic guitars and electric guitars successfully complement each other, along with the crispy drum work, and the intense driving bass line. ‘All Love’ truly portrays the band’s distinctive, passionate, and moving musical strengths.
The Heard Eye continues to sculpt out their characteristic sounds in the rock world. ‘All Love’ stands as an exemplification to the artist’s ability to encompass musical excellence with a memorable and spiritual message. ‘All Love’ is out now and it is guaranteed to be a popular, captivating, and magnificent single for all music enthusiasts.

“FEVERLAND” – The Long-Awaited Album from The NSA Drops This May
Originally recorded between 2013–2015, FEVERLAND is the long-lost second album from Scottish Mod/Punk band The NSA, fronted by Nick Shane. After releasing their debut TV & Sunshine in 2014, the band began work on a follow-up—only to split before it was finished. A decade later, the former frontman has taken the reins to master and release a large part of what was left behind.
The album features nine tracks of raw, guitar-led energy, blending mod-inspired hooks and sharp indie-rock rhythms that captured Scotland’s underground scene throughout the early 2010s. The NSA were a prominent name in the Mod/Casual movement, and their legacy continues through the non-stop live work of Nick Shane today.
Following the release of four highly anticipated singles—including the title track “FEVERLAND” in late 2024—the full album is finally ready to be heard.
One official video was released for Long Brown Hair in November 2024
Watch Here THE NSA – LONG BROWN HAIR
The digital release will be split into three parts:
-
Disc One: The full 9-track album
-
Disc Two: Live recordings from 2015 (NSA & Nick Shane solo acoustic)
-
Disc Three: Instrumental/karaoke versions of the album

Maria Solena’s “The Dream” Soars with Refined Elegance and Spirited Resolve
In the pantheon of contemporary jazz singers, few embody the poise and artistic devotion of Maria Solena. Her latest offering, “The Dream,” recorded at the prestigious Greenhouse Studios in Vancouver, BC, stands as a radiant testament to her skill as both an immaculate vocalist and an introspective songwriter. With an elegance reminiscent of the great jazz luminaries and an undeniable modern flair, Solena’s voice takes flight on this enchanting composition, gracefully weaving together ambition, resilience, and the poignant reminder that genuine artistry arises from unwavering commitment.
True to the tradition of jazz storytelling, “The Dream” reveals itself as more than simply a beguiling melody. Solena’s lyrics speak to the deep-seated yearnings of any artist in pursuit of their calling. Set against a luxurious tapestry of chords and harmonies, her vocals shimmer with equal parts soulfulness and finesse, guiding listeners through a narrative of triumph and toil. This is no fleeting ode to stardom, but a contemplative reflection on the euphoric highs and sobering lows that are woven into the fabric of passionate endeavor.
Maria’s inimitable vocal presence—both intimate and transcendent—has long been celebrated by fans and fellow musicians alike. Throughout her career, she has forged musical bonds with a dazzling array of collaborators, from Campbell Ryga and Brad Turner to Lionel Young, Richie Cole, and Seamus Blake. Their artistic esteem is well-earned: each note she delivers is shaped by an exacting sense of phrasing, melodic subtlety, and a conviction that every syllable can transport an attentive audience to realms of rapture.
“The Dream,” in essence, epitomizes what critics have long adored about Maria Solena’s work. There is a tantalizing blend of influences: the effortless sophistication of classic jazz standards, the vibrant energy of Brazilian motifs, and the heart-stirring immediacy of contemporary styles. The result is a deeply personal yet universally resonant anthem that beckons listeners to reflect on their own cherished dreams.
To engage with Solena’s music is to be invited into a refined, bittersweet world—one enriched by delicate introspection and propelled by indomitable spirit. It is no surprise that her voice, described by Emmy Award-Winner Michael K. Leader as “meticulous in phrasing” and “possessing an almost transparent quality,” has graced the airwaves of countless major stations worldwide. Such recognition underscores her ability to marry the technical dazzle of jazz vocal tradition with a warmly relatable human touch.
Whether you have followed Maria Solena’s globe-spanning performances for years or find yourself encountering her exquisite artistry for the first time, “The Dream” is a marvel that cannot help but stir the senses. At once timeless and unmistakably fresh, its message resonates deeply: that the dreams we hold dear are ultimately made real through perseverance, hope, and a wholehearted surrender to the life we yearn to create. In one radiant breath, Maria Solena reminds us that, indeed, it is the pursuit of our craft that grants our dreams both their verve and their extraordinary promise.

XDB Strikes a Melodic Nerve with Anthemic Power Ballad ‘When the Love Is Gone’
XDB’s upcoming single, “When the Love Is Gone,” set for release on April 11, 2025, is a compelling addition to the melodic hard rock genre. The track masterfully blends emotive storytelling with robust instrumentation, capturing the essence of classic rock influences while infusing a modern sensibility.
Musical Composition and Instrumentation
The song opens with a guitar-driven intro that pays homage to the signature sounds of bands like Dokken and Ratt. Xander Demos’s guitar work is both technically proficient and emotionally resonant, delivering electrifying solos that elevate the track’s intensity. The decision to perform the song in Drop-D tuning adds a brooding, cinematic quality, enhancing the overall depth of the composition.
Lyrics and Vocal Performance
Rob Kane’s vocal delivery is both vulnerable and assertive, effectively conveying the song’s themes of lost love, regret, and longing. The lyrics are introspective and poignant, exploring the complexities of a fading relationship. Lines such as “When the love is gone, and there’s nothing left to believe in” encapsulate the emotional turmoil at the heart of the song. The chorus is particularly memorable, offering an anthemic hook that lingers with the listener.
Production Quality
The production is meticulously crafted, balancing the raw energy of hard rock with polished melodic elements. The interplay between the instruments is well-executed, allowing each component to shine without overshadowing the others. This attention to detail results in a soundscape that is both powerful and immersive.
Overall Impression
“When the Love Is Gone” is a testament to XDB’s ability to honor the legacy of melodic hard rock while carving out their own unique space within the genre. The track’s fusion of heartfelt lyrics, dynamic instrumentation, and polished production makes it a standout release that is sure to resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners. As anticipation builds for their forthcoming album, “Gods of Aliens,” this single serves as a promising indicator of the band’s evolving artistry.
“Gary Pratt’s ‘Red Barn’ Delivers Nostalgic Charm and Country Swagger with a Modern Twist”
Gary Pratt’s latest single, “Red Barn,” (out on April 25th) is a spirited country track that encapsulates the essence of rural romance and youthful adventure. Written by Jason Patrick Matthews, known for his work with artists like Billy Currington and Luke Bryan, the song benefits from seasoned songwriting expertise.
The narrative unfolds with vivid imagery of secluded farm life, where the protagonist seizes an opportunity to connect with a love interest in the absence of her father. Lines like “Whatcha say I come over, park my Silverado in your little red barn” paint a picture of clandestine meetings under the cover of night, resonating with themes of youthful rebellion and romantic escapades.
Pratt’s vocal delivery is both engaging and authentic, capturing the playful yet sincere tone of the lyrics. The production, helmed by Adam Ernst with engineering by Douglas Kasper at Tonic Studios, showcases a polished blend of traditional country instrumentation and contemporary sound. Ernst’s multi-instrumental contributions and Kasper’s engineering finesse create a rich sonic landscape that complements the song’s narrative.
The melody is catchy and upbeat, inviting listeners to tap their boots along with the rhythm. The inclusion of a line dance choreographed by Karen Zima further emphasizes the song’s danceable quality, promising to be a highlight at live performances.
Drawing from personal experiences, Pratt infuses the song with genuine emotion. He reflects on memories of his great-grandfather’s farm and parallels with his singing partner Kate Szallar’s red barn, adding layers of authenticity to the track.
Overall, “Red Barn” is a well-crafted addition to Gary Pratt’s discography, blending relatable storytelling with high-quality production. It stands as a testament to his growth as an artist and his ability to connect with audiences through shared experiences and heartfelt performances.

Norwegian Singer-Songwriter Explores Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery in Highly Anticipated Project
Rising folk-pop artist Jenni is preparing to unveil her debut EP, Scars, on April 18, 2025. An intensely personal collection of songs, Scars is a reflection of her journey through heartbreak, resilience, and self-acceptance. The EP’s lead single, Painful Riddle, captures the emotional depth that defines the project.
“Painful Riddle” was written in a moment of pure honesty at the piano. The song captures the confusion of being misled, the cycle of self-destruction, and ultimately, the empowerment of walking away from toxic situations,” says Jenni.
Growing up in Bergen, Norway, Jenni struggled with self-love, bullying, and acceptance. Seeking a fresh start, she moved to London at 19 to pursue a music degree at BIMM University, where she found her creative voice. Inspired by artists like Lana Del Rey and Adele, her unique blend of folk-pop carries a raw, emotional weight that resonates with listeners on a deeply personal level.
A Journey of Strength and Healing
Beyond music, Jenni’s life has been a testament to perseverance. She grew up as one of nine siblings, with a special bond to her sister Emily, who has Down syndrome. Overcoming personal trauma in 2022 forced her to step away from music temporarily, delaying the EP’s original release. However, through healing, self-discovery, and love, she’s now ready to share her story with the world.
“This EP is years in the making. It represents my struggles, my healing, and my growth. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being honest, and I hope people connect with that,” she shares.
A Unique Musical Identity
What sets Jenni apart is her raw and unapologetic approach to songwriting. Always writing with a pen and notebook, she channels personal experiences into lyrics that are both introspective and relatable. Her music is perfect for chill moments, long car drives, and those seeking an emotional connection through sound.
