OLIVIA PENALVA IS THE JUDGE
Still twinkling from her Western Canadian Music Award nominations for Pop Artist of the Year and Breakout Artist of the Year, Olivia Penalva released "Judge Away," a follow-up to singles “Ex’s” and “Love Me.” “Back when this photo was taken I was recording vocals for my future EPs with my friend and producer Ryan Stewart at his studio in Vancouver. I’ve held on to these songs for so long and can’t wait for the world to hear them.”

BELLA DOSE BITE BACK
The Latina group Bella Dose earned TikTok success with their song ‘Si Me Llamas,' about leaving that toxic ex “on read.” Originating in Miami, the members come from diverse Latin backgrounds with heritages from Cuba, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Chile.

TODD RUNDGREN AT EVENTIDE IN 1972
In the summer of 1968, Todd Rundgren and his band, Nazz, released “Open My Eyes,” a song awash with tape flanging. The flanging effect played a key role in Eventide’s genesis, introducing audio’s first rack mount effects box, the Instant Phaser. Early studio flangers had many fans, none more enthusiastic than a young Todd Rundgren, as demonstrated in this photo of Rundgren visiting Eventide’s NYC office in 1972.
