Today’s song is “Strut (Papa’s Got the Cash)” by Relikc, a Funk-Rock band from Malta. Syncopated guitars and organ sashay into the verse, while the drums and bass lay down the groove, and the horns blare such a danceable melody. I had once found loveBut I’m afraid those days are overI guess it’s hard to […]

The Distance by ZETA
Today’s song is “The Distance” by ZETA, a Synth Pop trio from the UK. A heavy 80s influence is heard immediately on this track. It’s funky, it’s heavy, it’s kinetic, and it is great.
