Krantz is proud to premiere “Misty Morning Dew”, a “a 90’s tinged alternative rocker that takes the whimsical yearnings of Tiny Music era Stone Temple Pilots, the ringing guitars of R.E.M.’s Monster and flashes of playful retro soul” on Glide Magazine.
 
The song was inspired by “daydreaming and under the influence of some recreational substances ya might say,” explains singer/guitarist Jeffrey Krantz.  “I just kinda envisioned running through my happy place with my favorite girl. Checking out the scenery and knowing I’ll be right behind her as we fall hand in hand into the misty morning dew.”
 
After leaving his home state of Iowa, traveling the world, touring over 200 days per year with a band called The Effects and opening for acts such as the Kings of Leon, Shinedown, Foreigner, and the Toadies, Jeffrey Krantz made the decision to “live the dream” and eventually landed in Nashville. 
 
There, he recorded his first self-produced solo album self-titled KRANTZ in between tapings of MTV’s music competition, American Supergroup, where he eventually became a finalist in the competition. 
 
While working nonstop at the Honky Tonks of Music City to reach his musical dream, Jeffrey Krantz (lead guitar, singer) joined forces with Tee Tallent (keys) and Adrian Flores (percussion), all whom he met on the Broadway circuit.
 

Together, the band Krantz brings a psychedelic/pop/rock edge equipped with an in-your-face attitude, intertwining meaningful lyrics, and authentic, no-holds rock and roll. As an alternative rock band in a land of country music, Krantz embraces a refreshing take on golden age rock acts, combining classic musical elements of The Beatles and T. Rex with more modern sounds of bands like Weezer and Green Day, creating whimsical and catchy melodies that are certain make your feet dance and heart throb.
 
Misty Morning Dew is second album will be released September 27, 2019.

Australian guitarist, singer/songwriter, and producer Hamish Anderson unveils his latest single, “You’re Mine,” premiering exclusively on V13. The track, which serves as the second single from his highly anticipated album ELECTRIC, showcases Anderson's extraordinary guitar grooves and pays homage to the iconic sounds of Faces, T-Rex, and Fleetwood Mac. This release marks a significant milestone in Anderson’s musical journey, blending emotive storytelling with soul-stirring music.

Recorded at East West in Hollywood, “You’re Mine” features Anderson’s trio and Jessy Greene (Foo Fighters) on strings. The heartfelt ode to the enduring power of love and the unexpected beauty of finding it, stands out with its fuzzed-out sound and captivating guitar work. The track follows “Late In The Evening,” the unapologetically heavy rock debut single from ELECTRIC, described by Glide Magazine as "weaving biting six-string leads and riffs into a lush statement evoking rock’s glory days" and hailed as a “groovy rocker” by Blues Rock Review.

ELECTRIC, set for release on October 11, 2024, is Hamish Anderson’s third full-length album and his first in five years. Aptly titled, the album is described by Anderson as a “love letter to the electric guitar.” It was mostly recorded live as a trio with his touring band, featuring bassist Lauren Stockner and drummer Pete Marin, with appearances by Jessy Greene on strings and Jerry Borge on keys (Jonathan Wilson, Ziggy Marley). The album showcases a stellar high-energy sound with a unified vision, capturing the raw, energetic vibe of ’70s blues rock while updating it with modernized sounds and forward-thinking arrangements across eleven original songs and one cover song.

ELECTRIC Track Listing:

You’re Mine
Late In The Evening
