NEW TRACK: Venus Demilo - Sinking Ships

With so much great bands coming out from Liverpool, UK these days, I lost a bit track… and almost (!) forgot about this stunner of a song. Despite the maybe dramatic title, “Sinking Ships” by Venus Demilo is a wonderful song, thanks to Tom Anderson‘s warm, beautifully charming vocals, the

SONG PICK: Dear Thieves - My Street

There’s something instantly gripping about “My Street”, the new single by Dear Thieves, hailing from Melbourne, Australia. The allure of “My Street”, which will be officially released May 20th, comes partly from the hard-hitting drums and relentless guitar chords, and partly from the uniquely husky vocals. Dear Thieves consist

VIDEO: Alex Cameron - She's Mine

“She’s Mine” is a catchy, instantly likable song and then on top of it comes this feel-good-video, you can’t help but break out into one big smile. When I watched “She’s Mine” for the first time,  I wasn’t sure if Alex Cameron is kinda making fun

NEW TRACK: Psycho Comedy - One

Psycho Comedy, hailing from Liverpool, UK just released their debut single “One”. As the band name already hints, “One” is a warm and fuzzy piece of psychedelic rock, with all the necessary bells and whistles like guitars on heavy reverb, and an overall moody and hypnotic setting. Listen to “One”

ALBUM REVIEW: The Beautiful Fear - ONE

“ONE”, the first installment of a two-part album by The Beautiful Fear hits glamglare’s motto spot-on: “…discover new music, revisit classics [..] and enjoy life through music”. Musically, “ONE” takes its cues from rock classics, mainly 70s Pink Floyd but also other 70s super groups like Yes, Genesis, Tangerine Dream

SONG PICK: BLAJK - Good Liars

Toronto’s four piece BLAJK follow-up their smart synth-pop  single “French Class”, and our first Song Pick of the Day 2016, with an equally dazzling song. The just released “Good Liars” lets Jordan Radics’ deep and raspy-charming vocals shine to the fullest and everything else falls beautifully into place: the

NEW ALBUM: Pretty City - Colorize

“Colorize” is the perfect title for Pretty City‘s debut album. It’s like splattering  different shades of color, like musical sub-genres of indie rock onto  different songs. When I first heard of Pretty City and listened to their single “Melt”, I was instantly hooked, so much so that I

VIDEO: KYTES - I Got Something [PREMIERE]

With “I Got Something” KYTES  unleashed a great feel-good-song, sporting hand-clapping and a catchy sing-along chorus. And… the track already got remixed by super producer Robot Koch, lending the tune his melodic, delicate touch.  As if that’s not yet enough of the good, KYTES released a cheeky fun video

3 Is A Band: SKYES

Always excited to be able to feature a three-piece from my own ‘hood… and SKYES from Brooklyn are a band not to be missed. The more I listen to SKYES, the more I totally dig them. While on the surface, you might write SKYES  off as “yet another electronic band”

Music

SONG PICK: NGOD - Blue

Bradford five-piece NGOD follow-up their charming debut single “Are You Satisfied” with another stunner. The just released “Blue” lets Sam Augustine’s striking vocals shine even more and demonstrates the band’s serious songwriting chops. From the start, “Blue” is hypnotic as well as super catchy and sports a must-chime-in

PHOTOS: Twin Wave Celebrate their Single "Matador" with a Packed Show at Baby's All Right

Twin Wave are one of the hottest bands to come out of Brooklyn these days. Crafting highly infectious songs over guitar driven, synths-infused dream-pop, topped off with charming power vocals – clearly more and more people take notice! This was definitely the case on a Friday in mid April, when Baby’

NEW ARTIST: Year Of The Brother

Always happy to find upbeat music, that’s not too sugary sweet or trying too hard to please, I recently came across “So Far, So Good” by Year Of The Brother. The band, consisting of Brennan Mari (lead vocals), Elijah Gundlach (guitars and other instruments) and Tom Rydquist (production), could

LATE NIGHT: Agelast - Fever

In the mood for something Saturday-night cool, the perfect mix of synths, dance beat, rock guitars and vocal chops all accumulating in a hard-to-resist super catchy track? Look no further but listen to “Fever” now, the new single by Agelast, a duo from… nope, neither LA, nor New York but

SONG PICK: JPNSGRLS - Bully For You

“Bully For You” starts out with distorted guitar lines, and powerful, almost angry drum beats. Once the forceful, equally passionate vocals set in, it becomes clear that this song holds purpose and wants to be more than ‘simply’ the recent single by Vancouver quartet JPNSGRLS. “Bully For You” is a

NEW ALBUM: Mayflower Madame - Observed In A Dream

Today, Mayflower Madame released their first full-length studio album, Observed In A Dream, an intensely rich and atmospherically dark psychedelic beauty of a record. Having grown into a young adult, enjoying dark, new wave bands with a psychedelic vibe like Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, The Mission (UK) or Prince of

LATE NIGHT: Notaker - Infinite

“Infinite” is one of the immediately absolutely awesome EDM tracks, one without annoying bells and whistles, like coffee with too much milk, or a drink with too much ice cubes in it. “Infinite” by Notaker just flows along and the journey is just too much fun to not repeat it.

SONG PICK: The Beautiful Fear - Arduus Ad Solem

The Latin title “Arduus Ad Solem” rolls easily from your tongue, once you give it a try, meaning ‘striving towards the sun’. “Arduus Ad Solem” is track number six on The Beautiful Fear’s upcoming album “ONE” (May 1st), the first installment of a double concept album. While it seems

Prince

Did you already play your favorite song by Prince? Which one was it? It’s impossible to pick just one from this larger than life musical genius. My humble vinyl collection here can not even begin to express how much Prince meant to me during young adulthood in the 80s.

3 Is A Band: Bengal Lancers

SONG PICK: Billy Doze - Clouds

“Clouds”, the debut single by London artist Billy Doze, is the perfect feel-good-track: warm, bright, pleasantly driving beats with charming vocals. Yet the song’s title is “Clouds” and when the chorus sets in, the tune shifts its tempo and its mood with “clouds passing by, clouds going easy on
