In their recent EP called “Trash and Glamour,” the young band Bad Mary from New York comes back with an in-your-face and electric assortment of the songs which are heavily based on the punk rock music. This EP serves as a powerful statement, allowing the band to demonstrate their ability to deliver the hard hitting…
I personally have been a melodic rap fan for a while now, and it’s just natural that I fell in love with the melodic beats that focus on melodies instead of rhythm. Being immersed in the music of Arrested Development, Mos Def, and of course my favorite of them all, Nate Dogg, I have learned to…
The Italian post-punk band called Leatherette have declared the launch of their first album Fiesta which is going to be published on October 14th via Bronson Recordings. “So Long” is a short live music explosion that is ready to hit you in the face with a fist of energy. The song starts off with distorted, edgy…
To me that was how I felt when I first heard “Lost Cause of the Year,” one of A Vulture Wake’s songs. I was surprised and excited. But, as gifted and crafty as these people are, they are my go-to people. These two musicians do not only have excellent music skills but also very strong vocals, which…
If you have ever encountered a teaser from Silvi’s “Electric Honey” session, you are undoubtedly one of those people who have been waiting for the release of “Burning” for a long time. It’s one of those entities that may not have existed if it wasn’t for the COVID lockdowns, but, fortunately, she used her newly…
I’m a longtime Glassjaw and Thursday fan, so I can’t help but love a punk and hardcore mix, especially when it’s performed by a band that’s really, really good. I don’t mean to exactly copy the sound of this artist, but I just want to say that it is the genre I like. Darko, a UK band,…
Let me just cut the crap– Transviolet got this new song that your ears are too little to handle. The volume of sonic space occupied by “Love and Power” is only matched by its main theme, on which the leading singer Sarah McTaggart takes the listener on a journey of a relationship full of toxicity and…
It’s been a little over two weeks since the release of When We Meet, a new LP by Lorenzo & Co that is brimming with songs that are catchy and have a sort of a sweet nostalgic feeling. I do not say this in a derogatory manner. It is just that by ‘old school’ I mean…
From the lockdown phase of the Covid pandemic came Disco In Sochi, an act lead by Alex Allen, an Anglo-French Londoner, and their latest offering is the song “Diva”…. A tune that puts the bass and drumming to work; a fast, tight rhythm that is the standard for indie disco. This song could have been released…
Living in London, Si Connelly is a singer/song writer who is very ambitious; he is planning to release an EP every month. The seventh EP of the year, entitled July EP, is a three songs short stack, which is accompanied with shimmering production and glorious vocal melodies, on which the EP’s opener, ‘Fire’, is a good…
Whoa! The first song that I encountered, “Cut It,” threw me off guard! The song starts with a delightful verse groove/riff, but then suddenly, the attack… the sneak attack… the unexpected uppercut that you never see coming. But the changed beat, it’s a long way to the snare. The exhilaration you get from flying upward; this is a…
From his upcoming EP, I’m Really Bad with Names, Venezuela born musician Alejandro Lopes offers us the first single, “I Can’t Read Your Mind.” This track is a mid-tempo wall of sound that echoes the likes of The Jesus and Mary Chain, laying it on thick from the beginning, and somehow only getting thicker– so…
From London, England, I present to you: The Great Leslie.You should– nay! You REQUIRE listening to “Feel Alive” only because Alfie Pawsey’s bass line is the shit, and it’s a pure jam. On top of that, Ollie Trevers’ powerful vocals are in some ways the same as Brenden Urie’s in terms of intensity and vibrato. The guitar…
Out of the blue, straight at your face is Reliant with the track “Heaven or Hell” from the UK town of Reading, this band don’t care about what people think. It’s either the old skateboarder in me or the effect of four cups of coffee, but in this track I wanna break some sh*t from the…
Whether it’s the sheer quantity of material recorded during “the COVID years” or the luck of finding Sergio Napoletano in the stacks, one thing is certain: the amount of material recorded during “the COVID years” is truly endless. Memory Aisle is where Napoletano used the time of social distancing to write, record and eventually find his…
Halloween came early! The EP, Glow, by Katy Alex, is in the bag, as it were, and it’s a real bag of ear candy. These four songs that are filled with lush production and sweet hooks are the result of the heavy-duty work of a confectioner in a kitchen with the sole purpose of making tasty candy….
It is highly likely that you have never heard about Lexie Carroll unless you are reading this right now. The chances are this will soon change and not only for that reason. At seventeen, she has already managed to come out with a debut EP and gotten into playlists like New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Our…
