Hey everybody, welcome to the Indie Sound with Jimmy Starr, your backstage pass to the global independent music scene. Each short form episodes, highlights fresh, fearless artists from around the world, spinning every genre from alt-pop to hip-hop to cinematic rock. Posted by entertainment veteran Jimmy Starr, that's me. The show drops quick, high energy segments packed with new releases, artist stories, and the kind of unfiltered conversation you won't get anywhere else. Think of it as your daily dose of discovery, raw talent, zero filter. So today we're going to go do another band that we've actually done once before with some other songs of theirs. The name of the band is Emblem 3. They became really popular when they were on the TV show X Factor. They got signed to a record deal. Didn't last very long, but they're a great group. Again, it's called Emblem 3. They're an American rap rock band from Washington. There's three members, Wesley Stromberg, Drew Chadwick, and Keaton Stromberg. These guys are really cool. We had them on my other podcast, the Jimmy Starr show with Ron Russell. We had a blast with them. They've released all kinds of music. They've been on tour. They've won all kinds of awards. And they're just really, really cool. So I like them a lot. One of my favorite songs is Sunset Boulevard. It's what they performed on the X Factor. And you can hear it's an acoustic version of it. I think you guys are going to dig it. So check out Sunset Boulevard, the acoustic version. It's cute, fatty, got me dolly dolly doozy. I'm lost in her eyes like oh my god, where is she?
