Bad Reed craft a fun brand of rock that brings in hints of electronic, industrial, and even a bit of metal during their latest single Stained Glass. The supersonic vocals are the highlight of Stained Glass, but fans will hear some seriously heady instrumental arrangements that are interspersed at the bottom of the composition.

Stage Fright incorporates a bit more alternative rock into the equation, ultimately spinning the cut into a new…
Soles Of Passion’s “Say I Will” is built off of the dynamic between guitar and synth. The robust, bouncy instrumentation is the perfect backdrop from the emphatic vocals laid down by Myla, making for an effort that works well no matter whether a listener is a fan of 1980s, 1990s, or more current music.

STRFKR’s Open Your Eyes is a dreamy sort of indie rock that adopts the distinct synth sound of 1980’s new wave. Emotive, warm vocals run parallel to the bold instrumental arrangements. When these vocals drop out for a second in the middle of the track, Open Your Eyes is reinvigorated.
The Bodhisattwa Trio (Kolkata, India) has just released their latest album, Heart of Darkness.
