Video Premiere - "Real to Reel" by 310AM
Photo by Daniel Birkholz
Formed as singer and multi-instrumentalist Nate Erickson’s previous project, After Hours Radio, was winding down, Michigan-based indie project 310AM has a sound and overall sense of sincerity that hearkens back to the alternative and emo music of the early 2000s. After releasing a pair of singles over the past half year or so, 310AM is now presenting its third single entitled “Real to Reel,” about which Erickson says:
“To me, this song was a way to reflect on how separation can affect a relationship. I think Marian did a beautiful job capturing that vibe with her animation. “Real to Reel” is one of those songs that just came together out of nowhere. All of the guitar parts and melodies came to me real quickly in a way that I find impossible to recreate intentionally. Those moments are the reason I love music.”
Premiering below is the video for “Real to Reel” which combines animated elements with live-action backgrounds. I can relate to the video’s depiction of those moments of reflection that seem to be the almost inevitable byproduct of spending time riding public transportation, with the visuals nicely accentuating the song’s warm, heartfelt vibe.
“Real to Reel” releases on streaming platforms this Friday, April 10th, and 310AM can be found on Facebook and Bandcamp.

SPB exclusive: Sorespot - Gifts of Consciousness
Sorespot - Gifts of Consciousness
The latest featured stream at Scene Point Blank comes from Sorespot. Titled Gifts of Consciousness, the record releases on April 3 on Midnight Werewolf Records and showcases distorted, harsh pop on the surface with subtle melodies that peak through the feedback.
The Chicago, IL quartet released the album between 2017-2019 with a simple theme:
After finally getting everything tracked after various member changes, we are all ready to share this record with the world. It's concept is simple; witness and acknowledge the things wrong in your life, and move on from them peacefully with confidence. The title itself was taken from an interview with someone who had died, and was then brought back. Gifts of Consciousness to me means that everything, whether good or bad, is a gift to your consciousness to help you learn and grow. Lyrically we mostly fixate on situations that bring us anger or discomfort, although there are also songs that incorporate feeling thankful or finally understanding a situation we went through. No matter what we write about though, we try to end it with optimism. The song "Meet You" though, that song is specifically about meeting Big Foot and becoming buds with it.
