![]() The trend of rappers having acting careers (Ice Cube, Ice Tea, Will Smith, Drake) should be ongoing thing, and we're glad whenever it happens on a local level. New release(s) from a Portland-relevant artist. ![]() (Sat March 4, 8 pm, Polaris Hall, 635 N Killingsworth Ct, $13, w/ Les Gold & New Body Electric, tickets here) A single liner note on BandCamp explains the song “is not about your fun night out but about stumbling home afterwards relentlessly churning on everything you overshared.” At the song’s peak, Graham emotively sings: “I’m drowning myself in the overkill, overkill/ Overnight at the club/ Overserved, sobered up/ Overcoat, in the cab/ Overplayed my own hand/ Overthought what I said/ It's a drug I regret/I regret I regret I regret.” For a tease of what that audience is in for, check out this stunning live performance video for “The Overkill” that dropped today, and was filmed and recorded at Portland recording studio The Rye Room. The creative merging of Ryan Linder and lead vocalist Malachi Graham is known for making deeply stirring, cinematic backdrops that are both epic and intimate (making the band’s oxymoron moniker make sense), and the two are fleshed out by drummer Ben Tyler (Small Skies), and Kale Chesney (Lo Pony) on bass and harmonies. ![]() Newly signed to Portland’s Tender Loving Empire, Portland-based indie pop band Small Million just released its first single under the label on February 7, titled “The Overkill.” What’s more? The band is playing a headliner show at Polaris Hall on March 4-that’s right around the corner.
