Visual Sound: October 2026
“Trouble”
Professional wrestler Liv Morgan, from Elmwood Park, has a music video.
“Losing Streak”
Anything this Hoboken band does, we’re all in on.
“New Jersey In The ’90s”
They live in New York City now, but brothers Matt and Dan Fullam—with friends Hart Mechlin, Pat Freeman and Matt DaSilva—were raised in Morris County. This is off their In The Maze album, due October 16 on Dream Wolf Records.
“Souvenirs”
On September 4, at The Freight in Berkeley, California, our very own Essex County legend Bettye LaVette took a song from arguably America’s greatest songwriter, John Prine [1946–2020], and—with Etienne Stadwijk—wrung every last possible drop of soulful emotion out of it. No singer on the planet can make time itself stand still like she does when she sings. She turns this one inside-out, almost to the point of it being unrecognizable.
“Dancing In The Dark”
This rejected 1984 video sat in somebody’s file cabinet for more than four decades. It was directed by Jeff Stein (who did 1979’s The Kids Are Alright Who doc). Former Columbia Records President Al Teller said no way and a subsequent vid—the one we all know (directed by Brian De Palma)—was shot using actress Courteney Cox.
