If you dig aggressive riffs, creepy suburban vibes, and bands that may or may not partake in human sacrifice rituals, this might be your thing. Tension Scale is loud, weird, hardcore inspired by The Burbs, and the video is filmed with a healthy amount of sweaty basement show energy and suburban neighborhood tension www.tensionscale.bandcamp.com www.instagram.com/tensionscale www.facebook.com/tensionscale

The new release from Richard Green pulls together some elements of jazz, electronic, rock, pop, and more, putting them all together to create a very thick atmosphere that becomes riddled with deep-pocketed grooves, along with colorful textures and tones that start delivering high energy, and it's all completely infectious. There is something strangely cinematic about "Wasted Tears". The track utilizes really robust synthesizers to give it a lot of drive, along with a beat tha

The new EP release from The Mirrors does an amazing job of delivering what I would consider to be a cross of post-punk, progressive rock, and cinematic pop, all rolled into one seamless record that really has the ability to build a huge atmosphere by only a few songs in. Ambrosia is the kind of album you listen to with headphones on because it's probably the best way to soak in the vast tonalities and soundscapes that the record delivers from start to finish. Right from the g

Pull Request has just released three new songs that trace the emotional arc from escape to endurance. It begins with Road to Nowhere, a song about stepping away when everything feels too heavy to carry alone. Sometimes healing doesn’t start with answers. It starts with presence. Then comes Imposter Syndrome, a quiet confrontation with self-doubt. It captures the tension between outward confidence and the fear of being seen for what you think you lack, even as you keep moving

A new single from Animalweapon recently dropped from Polychromatic Records brings together such spacious and vast undertones with elements of edginess lurking just beneath the surface, plenty of emotional push, descriptive lyrics that put you in the moment with the song, and a semi cinematic aesthetic that has a wonderful way of wrapping itself around you and keeping you right where it wants to.

An Anthemic new single released from Mot & Krid collaborates with Cindy Gomez and Rick Z. to create a very lush atmosphere but also a driving soundscape that comes through blending electronic with pop and a wonderfully placed rock over town that brings a little bit of edginess and blends amazingly with the synthesizers and vocals.

The new track from Mačka Moon pulls together atmospheric electronic soundscapes and a pop-coated, R&B-riddled approach that builds such a deepening soundscape that you automatically get sort of addicted to it. "Lifecall" opens up with a really cool set of synths that breed an experimental approach, a little bit of glitchy percussion element, and that ends up sort of bleeding into this cinematic tonality that feels flowing, drifting, and beautifully approached. The intro hits

Hanna Andrea recently dropped a new single that thrives in an energetic pop sort of way, but covered in a rock atmosphere, displaying a vibrant approach to her performance across the board. The first verse of the single is stripped down a bit to clean guitars and vocals, but you know that's going to give way to a bigger sound soon enough. The first verse is almost sad, in a sense. It is about missing certain things about hanging out with somebody close. How they used to go ou

Leave it up to Fitzkee Brothers to bring together some of the best elements of southern, classic rock, and give it all a pop sensibility.
