Day 5 at SXSW: the health and energy levels are on decline, so we were lucky that our Saturday schedule was a somewhat easy one. We started off with a breakfast at the McDonald’s Loft, where we were looking forward to some chicken McNuggets and a BigMac. But apparently that[…]
We capped off SXSW with a sister duo and our Song Pick of the Day presents another one: the Banuelos sisters from Milwaukee, who perform and record now as Reyna. “Ink on my Skin” is an upbeat pop song with beach party vibe.
On day 4 of SXSW we could use the wakeup call provided by Pretty City who opened The Aussie BBQ, which presented an astonishing lineup of up and coming bands from Down Under. We could have stayed the entire afternoon to see artists like Julia Jacklin, Big White, DMAs and[…]

“Bare” is a song by the London band Wildes, which has with Ella Walker only one member. It is a slow-building track full of melancholy and you will have Ella’s voice in your head long after it has finished. “Bare” is our Song Pick of the Day.
