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…
Last we heard of Madi Foster, she was humming a very simple folk song called “White Lines”, but she has now dropped another emotional indie folk song that should be listened to by your thoughtful ears. “Sun & Moon (driving in the morning)” starts at the beginning with that very familiar sound, the sweet strum of…
This statement has been heard for a long time from the writers of the most striking pop songs who say they wrote them in a matter of minutes.“Kool” is no exception. Located in Austin, the indie rockers from the band Bottlecap Mountain release their first single from their 2022 album, Fib Factory. This is the song written…
“Leave the Light On”, the lead single from the Galvo EP of the same name, is a song that speaks about the struggles of growing up. It brings this dreamy sound that carries the listener just the same as a train on a desert evening. The frequent utilization of the reverb effect on the tenor voice makes…
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…
Record Thieves have now released their single “Faults Lines”, a solid punk rock song that is radio-friendly with an accessibility that makes it easy for it to be added to a playlist. The intro might have a few more bars than the modern-day single, but the thirty seconds spent on it is time well spent…
Hannah Robinson, a very friendly person and artist, is actually the artist that you never ever met. I don’t want that to sound like I’m selling out her street cred, but kindness is the key at UpToHear, to be precise. This probably brings to your mind the moment we played her song “Nineteen” about a week ago,…
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…
In case you have not been listening to Alejandro Lopes, then you are not doing it right. One month ago, we released “I Can’t Read Your Mind” for the upcoming EP called I Am Really Bad With Names. This month, we are spreading news about the release of his single “Alone With You” on August 27th….
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…
As a matter of fact, we the whole team here are huge fans of Sergio Napoletano, so we did not miss the chance of showing you the new video for the song “Downtown”. With a soundtrack set in black and white, the viewer is taken through a day-in-the-life tour of the city: catching the train,…
Admittedly, I am the last person who should be writing a review for a rap artist, but “Black Swan Dive” reached into me and stirred up some emotions that needed stirring. This collaboration between Jibba the Gent and Rico James hits those dark places that reside inside each of us, nailing it down with the…
After listening to all 11 songs on the LP, Everything Will Be OK, I can confirm: You will be fine with it. In the nutshell, if the opening first ten seconds of the first song impresses you, then it’s a guarantee that the entire album will. James Walsh is the frontman of Starsailor, a band that is…
The artist known as BofBriz, from Bristol, describes her music as “weird ass feminist rap” in her own words. Her vocals have a sleek and polished sound, a distinctly English accent, and are well executed on this new track, “Charioteer”. The song flows with great lyrical content, cleverly constructed, with perfect phrasing. This is not…
From Gateshead, England, Hannah Robinson has bestowed unto us the dream pop track, “Nineteen.” Over its four minute duration, Hannah seldom strays too far from what can only be perceived as her vocal comfort zone, but she is, nevertheless, truly effective in delivering the intended message of an all too familiar inner struggle: “As I…
On the 19th of March 2010, for the world a great loss was suffered – Mark Linkous, who is famous for his work as Sparklehorse’s mastermind. In 2022, I have come to realize that their spirit is alive in Hang Ten’s song, “Balloon.” I have no idea whether they would consider this a compliment or if…
