SONG PICK: Simian Ghost - Stop Moving

While the title of Simian Ghost‘s new single is “Stop Moving” the actual songs make you want to do the exact opposite. “Stop Moving” is an incredibly upbeat and vibrating song, that makes you want to get up onto your feet and start dancing or at the very least

NEW MUSIC: KWAYE - Cool Kids (Video)

The visuals are that compelling and beautiful, that I would want you to simply watch the video and listen to the gorgeous synth-pop track already! But wait, there is also quite an interesting story behind the song and how it all came together for the young Zimbabwe-born, London-raised musician. As

SONG PICK: Will Joseph Cook - Plastic

“Plastic” is a blissfully bright and infectious indie-pop song but there is more to it! Lurking somewhere underneath the optimistic vibe is some profound suspense and seriousness that lends the track its edge and special allure. “Plastic” is the newest single from London-based Will Joseph Cook who is about to

SONG PREMIERE: Tom Forest - You Have A Father

“You Have A Father” opens with an achingly beautiful guitar melody and skillful finger picking and when the warm and soulful vocals set in, there is no more escape, I’m hooked! British singer-songwriter Tom Forest releases with “You Have A Father” a very personal, quiet and at the same

3 Is A Band: Auction for the Promise Club

Auction for the Promise Club is quite an elaborate band name and sort of hinting of eight or more members, yet this guitar driven indie rock band is only three members strong and hence ideal for a closer look via our #3IsABand feature. Hailing from Cornwall, in the U.K.

NEW TRACK: The Born Love - Badlands

The whole point of a music blog is to feature new, interesting music, n’est-ce pas? So if there is not (yet) much to know about an artist, who cares? When listening to “Badlands”, adjectives like ‘glorious’, ‘skillful’, ‘mature’ or ‘danceable’ come to mind. “Badlands” is the new single by

SONG PICK: Missing Words - Alright

There are songs that radiate that special Summer feeling perfectly, the feeling of sun on your skin, a nice drink in your hand, enjoying the still warm air at night and just letting go… For me, “Alright” evokes just such a feeling. Then again, the song’s title is “Alright”

Music

SONG PICK: Sweet Spirit - The Power

“The Power” comes like the title might suggest with swagger and intensity. It is the new single by Austin eight-piece Sweet Spirit and it is pretty rad. Add Sabrina Ellis‘ (A Giant Dog) glamorously soulful rock vocals to it and the outcome is a highly infectious power anthem! Listen to

NEW MUSIC: Deadwall - Heartlands (Video)

Leeds-based indie quartet Deadwall just released their sophomore studio album “The Zero Cliff” and the maybe strongest track from this ten tracks album also got a video treatment.

SONG PICK: BEij - Bad News

Seattle-based electronic trio BEij –pronounced like the color- released their new single “Bad News” in mid March and it is good. It is incredibly good! “Bad News” sparkles with a ton of groove and a super fun, soulful vibe. The track makes me think of what the love child of

SONG PICK: BOA - Steal It

Bristol-via-Brighton indie rock trio BOA add with “Steal It” another instantly appealing single to their prior stellar and much talked about releases. “Steal It” is simply irresistible from the first beat, thanks to the bubbly, bouncy rhythm and guitar groove. But it is not all happy, happy here, because there

SONG PICK: Wide Eyed Boy - Wolves

Liverpool is the home base of many great indie rock bands these days, and in the case of Wilde Eyed Boys, they are taking nationality and borders less seriously and bonded over a shared love for David Bowie and Michael Jackson. Oliver Nagy (vocals), Jonny Ball (guitars), Kobi Pham (guitars)

SONG PREMIERE: Hardcastle - Millennial Attraction

Nashville based quintet Hardcastle releases “Millennial Attraction” after “Paralyzed” and “No Big Deal”, two beautifully crafted indie rock songs.

SONG PICK: FEiN - It's Alright

“It’s alright to feel this way” is a line from FEiN‘s new single “It’s Alright” and it is as affirmative as the song itself despite the moodier undertones.  We are huge fans of the L.A.-based synth rock duo FEiN comprised of  Brandon Woodward and Luke

NEW MUSIC: Vox Eagle - No Sleep (Video)

A song as infectious as “No Sleep” doesn’t need much in terms of visuals and so Aussie-American electro-psych pop duo Vox Eagle settle for the breathtakingly beautiful landscape between L.A. and Las Vegas with some city feel thrown in while one the road. Andy Crosby and Luke Hamel,
