Avantist – Tidalwave

Avantist has released a new amazing single called “Tidalwave”, the song is a bassy pop song with a touch of electro.  Avantist’ vocals remind one of a young Anthony Kiedis or Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. This song is a lot of fun, the production is tight and the instrumentation really increases the vocalist abilities. I think that fans of The White Stripes or Franz Ferdinand would enjoy the sounds…

The SLVR Tongues – S-Class

The SLVR Tongues  new single “S-Class” has been one of the best songs I’ve came across this year. The vocalists are accompanied but a unique mixture of Country and Electric music, honestly they are almost like a Country version of the Chainsmokers. The song is produced well, the music is funk and fun and the arrangement is fantastic, nothing over powers each other.  It’s really refreshing to hear that Country…

Highland Kites EP “I’m Not Weak”

The new Highland Kites EP “I’m Not Weak” begins with Nothing To Say. This track is built upon powerful, female vocals that have an equally assertive set of drums as their counterpoint. There are hints to acts like The Cranberries, Milky Chance, and Sarah McLachlan. The two-part dynamic between the guitars and the heartbeat-like drums establish Monster in a wholly different avenue than I’m Not Weak. The airy, ethereal vocals…

The likelihood of the full New Order line up getting back together is somewhere between another Replacements reunion (possible, but doubtful) and a Smiths Reunion (Morrissey is just as likely to start eating meat and showing a bit of humility). But this collection of live albums from Peter Hook, founding member of both New Order and their precursor, Joy Division, is bound to serve as some solace to lifelong fans…
