Point Lets Their Audience Know “I’m Here”

By Margaret Adams

Norwegian pop-rock band Point has released their new single “Point.” This is the band’s third release of 2022, following the singles “The Fire” and “Echo.”

Point utilizes their musical talent to take a stand and spread awareness about mental health. Their band logo, the crane bird “ICON,” is an illustrated embodiment of the band’s mission: personal growth. They hope it can be a beacon that inspires people to love themselves and stand up for their values and beliefs.

“I’m Here” is an incredible soft-rock anthem about picking up your friends when they’re down. Alongside the building acoustic guitar and soothing vocals, the lyrics spread a message of comfort and light in the darkness of current events.

The band wrote the song during the COVID-19 pandemic in lockdown, and they realized the importance of being there for each other and talking through all the emotions they felt; by talking about their problems, they automatically felt less significant.

The most challenging step is to ask for help, so if you know of someone who is struggling, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800-273-8255 and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Hotline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357). 

Check out Point’s new single “I’m Here” on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Soundcloud. Find this track and other great music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture on Spotify.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
