Tear by Forest City Aurora A single note on piano repeats and I’m thrown into a dissonance that seems so fitting for the title, “Don’t Wanna Love You.” However, it’s only a moment before Forest City Aurora (FCA) jump into the full song and rock my socks off. “Don’t Wanna Love You” is the perfect […]
“Brotherhood” caught my attention immediately, (I think it’s those 80s synthesizers). I thought I was listening to an unreleased U2 track. Lucky for me, I stumbled onto Outsider, an alternative rock artist from County Tipperary, Ireland. “Brotherhood” begins with those awesome synthesizer sounds and loads of wet reverb. When frontman Seán Corcoran comes into sing […]
“Hollywood Gold” is a great callback to its classic rock roots. Guitars, drums, bass, and a harmonica!? What more could you want in a song? Not much. Hollywood Gold by The Prescriptions I came across this song quickly today and was immediately grabbed by the quality of the recording. It just sounds good. There’s this […]
This is a special post because I can’t stop listening to this song. “Rearview” came out at the beginning of the month and I have probably listened to it over 100 times. Run River North have been one of my favorite bands since I first heard “Monsters Calling Home” on soundcloud about six years ago. […]
This is a guest post by Eddy Marshall. A syncopated guitar groove, organ stabs, horn hits, a toe tapping drum beat, and we are into Layers of Love. Tom Glorio (stage name Glorio) is a Singer-Songwriter in New York City. He began the year with a debut single titled 15 Years. In February, the first […]
I was very happy to come across “21 Grams” by Leif Erikson, a London based Indie band fronted by Sam Johnston. “21 Grams” is sensational, calling back to some of the greats of classic rock bands like the Eagles, but also alongside recent greats like Arcade Fire. What struck me immediately was the guitar sounds […]
“Temporary Attachment” by The Regrets caught me immediately because I thought I was listening to The Strokes (one of my favorite bands). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the relatively new Seattle based foursome, The Regrets, have a killer sound. Apart from The Strokes, you can definitely hear inspiration drawn from The Beatles, […]
Dudeo Perez, an alternative rock band from San Luis Obispo put out their new album, Allons’y, at the beginning of the year, and what a great to start off the year. The first track off the album, “Sivolette”, is one that I hope catches on quickly. “Sivolette” is refreshing to say the least. It’s high […]
Are You Ready? From the Southend-On-Sea based grunge trio HIGH/LOW, Are You Ready?, is high energy rock reminiscent of 90’s grunge greats like Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins. It’s raw, it’s fuzzy, and it’s so so good. Beside the wonderful wall of fuzz warming up my ears, is an outstanding melody that is just so catchy […]
