The beat is really cool too, it has a electronic sound with quite a bit of bass. The song is composed and produced well, each part compliments each other to make a solid single. Juice’s lyrics and flow are memorable and by the end of the song…
Angus Crowne and the Family Jewels begin their new album Shag Rug with Little Green Rug.

Over the course of the last year, we have had a great time listening to Killing Tyranny’s Martyr. So much, in fact, that I feel there are some hidden tracks that deserve a bit more explication. The Plague is what 1980s California thrash should have sounded like; with even the releases of luminaries like Anthrax and Metallica sounding tinny and faint, the sheer in your face sound of splashy drums and…
I’m Changing is a deep and detailed track that succeeds due to a tremendous care taken in the creation of a taut instrumentation. The dynamic between bass, guitars, and drums is the perfect back drop upon which the emotive and alluring vocals can rest. The production present during Love Is the Answer ensures that each constituent element can shine alone or as contributing to a greater whole. The track has tremendous…

Lolah has a great voice, you can hear the her sweet yet sassy tone just knock this song out of the park. The beat and production are simple but really compliment the vocals. I think fans of Beyonce or Kehlani would really enjoy Lolah Vinchy’s music. This song would be…

The song while familiar sounding has totally unique lyrics and a wonderful beat, almost reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen. The production is great, very clear and highlights Robert’s vocals while also showcasing his instrumentation. The song reminds you of groups like Foreigner or Styx. I think Robert’s would be great…
Joseph Pagano has been creating music for the last few years, with his second EP Time and Colors being released in 2015. On Joseph Pagano’s current single More Friends in Heaven (Than in Hell), hints of 1960s and 1970s rock, punk, and alternative country can all be discerned. The dynamic between the guitar and Pagano’s voice establishes a quick tempo for the single. A whistle-heavy intermission provides a further boost…
Son & Thief’s new single “Repair” is a great example of up and coming indie rock. The song has bass heavy instrumentals and paired with falsetto vocals, making the song stand out from others in the genre. The production is good, it seems purposely distorted to add to the eclectic sounds of Son & Thief. The song flows naturally and lets all parts shine equally, I really like the focus…
Chip Gibbons has just released a video for his latest single “Inside a Hole”, from his Billion Dollar Pill album. This track does much to showcase the wide variety of influences that are present in Gibbons’ music, but for a more in-depth exploration into Gibbons’ psyche, one needs to play the entirety of the aforementioned album. The multi-media aspect of Gibbons is something that fans need to look into; while…
The Great American Madness hints of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger.

Wild Domestic – “New Year, New Me” is a smart, taut hard rock track that blends together intricate arrangements with passionate vocals. I feel that Wild Domestic builds off of the framework of acts like 311 and Deftones and adds just a bit of emotive rock to make something that will resound loudly in the minds and hearts of listeners. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on NeuFutur as Sargeant, is the founder…
Don’t Belong is the first track on Stellarscope’s Standing In The Shadow Of Your Ghost, a dense and bushy track that takes up a number of styles, sounds, and genres in the creation of a wholly unique sound. There are nods to mid-1980s The Cure, OK Computer-era Radiohead, and even acts like Muse. Falling is a dark, electronic-infused track that will work equally well in the Sisters of Mercy / Bauhaus-era of goth…
Give It Away is a passionate alternative-pop track, the first off of Philadelphia band Rugby Road’s latest, Rugby Road III. Of particular note here has to be the extended progressive-infused interlude, providing a nice boost to the single’s momentum. The vocals and drums link together to make for something that could easily be replayed; fans will be on the edges of their seats as the band moves into Back To…

The song is mastered perfectly no over lapping section and the levels are correct, making the song flow naturally and smoothly. The…
Emerald Portal – All The Running Emerald Portals single “All In The Running” is whimsical and soft. The sound is very different from current indie rock artists but is closest to someone like MGMT. The instrumentation has light strings and synths that are deep. There’s a little bit of an 80’s electro vibe going on too which makes the song sound incredibly unique. The production is clear and clean allowing…
