Alejandra O’Leary – All I Know

Doubtless is a complex piece of indie-rock that sparkles through the presence of Alejandra’s vocals. This introductory track has some serious instrumental chops, with a guitar/drum dynamic gradually becoming more chaotic until the effort concludes.

Holly Elle – I’m Scared

Holly Elle’s newest track I’m Scared a track that stuns with its simplicity and raw vocal power. There is little more to this effort than Elle’s vocals and a piano arrangement. Together, these two elements combine to make for something as passionate as anything Rufus Wainwright or Kelly Clarkson could create.

The Importance of Friendship in Creative Mediums

Creativity is one of the great joys of the human race and it’s one of the main things that make us stand out from the rest of the species on this rock. Sure, elephants have been known to randomly wave a brush around on a piece of paper like a tusked Jackson Pollack, but can anyone say that they are consciously making art? I would say no. Creative mediums include…

This 2016 single showcases Anita staying true to her roots with a bold, bouncy beat and inimitable…

European Electronic Cinema by Alien Skin

June Is the Coldest Time is a haunting, expansive track that immediately requires listeners to focus on each movement that Alien Skin includes.

Late is the Hour by Rampancy At Midnight

The straight-forward, fuzzy punk music that Lexington’s Rampancy At Midnight create during Spooky and the Karoushi is tremendously catchy. The guitar work present at this early part of their current EP Late is the Hour will immediately draw listeners in, while the frantic and haunting vocals that play at the top of the track further very the track. Hints of surf, psychedelic, and desert rock all can be discerned with this opening…

Janey Street “(I’m Not) The Girl I Used to Know”

Janey Street creates a tender and complex track with her latest single, (I’m Not) The Girl I Used to Know. The stripped-down instrumentation that represents the backing beat is assertive with little more than a guitar and set of drums.

Paper Pilots – The Weather

Paper Pilots craft a unique form of electronic-infused alternative rock. A distinct set of vocals shine above the track, building off of the style of R.E.M. and They Might Be Giants.

7fields – Good To See You

Good To See You, the latest effort from Berlin’s 7field, draws upon the rich tradition of The Velvet Underground and Tom Waits.

SEEP AWAY – Snakes (Single)

The United Kingdom’s SEEP AWAY creates a powerful piece of sludge metal on Snakes that has a bit of early Deftones chugging, the guitar crunch of Black Sabbath, and the distinct vocals that tie up each section. Again, the B-side to Snakes, drops some of the outward heaviness to allow the punkier elements of the band to shine through.
