Glimtvis is back with a new release that definitely gives off a bit of a cinematic undertone with this sort of natural flow beneath the surface and a bit of a drive as well, mostly coming from the percussion, but it also has an overlaying edginess that's really a little different from their usual stuff. This single is something that expresses a lot of sentiment that people can really relate to, depending on their situation. One of the things I love about it is how descriptive

A breathtaking new single from Alto Aria delivers a vast undertone with a lush overtone that comes together to create this beautiful atmosphere that you get swallowed up by, and I mean that in the best way possible. The new single is called "Stars Align", and although it has an electronic backbone due to digital instruments, it does also have a natural feel to it. The tones are still very warm, with a flow that drifts through the air around you, inviting you to drift alongsid

The latest from Coldwards comes forth with a pretty heavy-handed approach, but as always, heavily melodic as well. The record showcases the band's different sides to how they write their songs and how they're able to read this edgy tonality, while still being true to the storytelling aspect lyrically, and branching out in different directions musically. "Last of Me" is the first track on the record, and it does a great job of reducing and opening the door to the rest of it. I

If ever there was a song that warms the soul, it's the new single from YASSiN & Sean Terrio featuring Charissa called "Right Here Right Now", simply because it is oozing with this amazingly warm tonality that is incredibly inviting, along with the sentiment that I feel like we can all relate to, delivered with heart and such intense levels of soul that it just wraps itself around you. One of the most beautiful aspects about this track, aside from the sentiment of it, is the f

The new album from The Victim has arrived, and the record really boasts a lot of honesty in the form of songs that blend everything from folk to Americana, indie rock, and this beautiful and boisterous cinematic backbone that just lets the record flow naturally. This is an album with a lot to say, and you can tell that the artist put his all into it. He doesn't really hold back in terms of lyrics and definitely gets pretty personal. Songs like 'Still Raising Shadows" dig pret

The latest album release from Elyse Aeryn delivers a whole lot of personality across the span of 10 impressive songs that showcase a little bit of a different side to that personality, along with her artistry. The album showcases a lot of depth in terms of having plenty to say, giving the listener a lot to chew on. This is an artist who is not afraid to give pieces of herself in her music, and I found that quite refreshing. The songs all have a pretty great rock backbone. The

A new single release from Amores Vigilantes delivers a thriving classic rock soundscape, complete with really vintage feeling tonality on the instrumentation giving it this total authentic aesthetic, and this is one of the most addicting aspects about it. Not only does this track blend that vintage rock feel, but it brings it into an indie rock state of mind. You have these guitars that sound like they were recorded in the 70s, with riffs that flow and have this Soulful juice

A beautiful and touching new single from Creative Vibrations comes through as a very sentimental one and is quite unafraid to show some vulnerability along with elements of spirit, as the song goes through a certain range of emotions when it comes to losing someone. This is a song that doesn't hold a lot back but still has this beautiful warmth, and it's underbelly. It's not the saddest perspective, but it sheds light on how the memory of someone can still make you smile. Tha

A new album release from Vinyl Floor just dropped, and this record showcases such a wide and in-depth array of rock approaches from indie-rock to folk-rock, and even this sort of theatrical undertone that shows face a lot through the record. Now, don't get me wrong, the record does get a little heavy at times and certainly has its anthemic moments, but it also has a lot of warmth in its tonality. A lot of the record combines different guitar tones to create something that jus

A new EP release from Terror Terror has arrived, and one of my favorite aspects about the entire thing is how it comes through with such a robust and unique sort of flair that manages to blend alternative rock with a theatrical undertone and, in doing so, creates something that feels intense but drawing. You find yourself quickly pulled into the record and its vast undertones, which is pulled off in such a unique fashion. This is an EP that hits hard when it wants to but also

A new single release from Frederick James delivers a very honest approach to storytelling from a personal perspective, but one I feel like a lot of people can relate to, simply because of how upfront and straightforward he articulates his lyrics. This is a single that doesn't really hold a lot back but also keeps things in a bare-bones kind of format in terms of those lyrics as well. They're not stripped down, but they do focus on the struggles you may run into as a person. I

Submissions come in thick and fast, and if we’re being honest, most of them blur together after a while. So when a live video lands in the inbox and actually makes you sit up, that’s worth mentioning. Bones of Goliath’s “Face The Flames” did exactly that. Bloody hell, this thing moves. The Ohio three-piece deliver a weighty, groove-laden performance that feels properly lived-in rather than yoked to death. There’s a doomy undercurrent running through the riffs, but it’s not sl

The new album released by Lorena doesn't just deliver a heavy-handed alternative rock sound, but more attitude-riddled, character-packed, and personality-driven edginess, which also has all these elements of pop sensibilities sprinkled in throughout its course. This is an album that shows you, straightforwardly, that she is an artist who is not afraid to put pieces of herself into her music, and that's part of what makes the entire thing so damn impactful. The record is calle

The new Palm of His Hand album by Saved by Grace is out now and delivers some heavier Christian rock tones. With several singles taking the lead, the record is already making waves in the rock and Christian communities. The full album has plenty of gems and is worth a complete listen. If you only have time for a few, start with "God's Got Me", and go from there. BIO: A stylistically unique band from day one, the members of Saved by Grace have been singing, performing, and pl

Hollowed Sky released a full album that spreads its wings far and wide across hard rock genres and styles with a solid heavy edge plenty of the time but also getting into experimental songwriting that pushes the envelope enough to have already gained attention. Of the many songs that leave their mark, "Death by Paper" and "Kill My Darlings" resonated big time. This is a satiating record for those who love alternative rock that bends itself into other forms. The entire album i

A new album release from IC1s recently dropped, and this thing definitely delves into a whole mesh of amazingly displayed and very energetic Indie and pop rock with other elements blended in. You definitely hear a little bit of punk in there, and soul as well. It's not every track that you hear the slight Southern tonality in the underbelly of the sound, but sometimes it's there. I definitely love how each song sort of speaks for itself, and the whole record comes together an

A new release from Bgbgb digs into the sentiment of manhood pretty deeply, especially in terms of what life brings you and the choices you make throughout it, changing the person you are in the end. This is a single that takes you through different chapters in a human life. It goes through all these elements of the American dream, from family and kids to career and goals, and really digs in. The track rifles through the classic ideal for your average American man and how that

A new single release from Joe Raphael brings together quite an array of pop influences that come together to breed this very honest yet very lush soundscape. One of the things that stands out most about "Here & Now" is its songwriting approach. The way it brings in this amazing sort of groove, along with layers of instrumentation, both digital and natural, layers of beets, and pop-riddled vocals, all build a beautiful atmosphere that beckons certain elements of 80s pop style.

Emma Lindquist returns with a new single that really reaches into the depths of certain areas in relationships and how you can get swept up by that certain someone, along with all the physical and emotional tendencies that come with that. This is a track that portrays the artist's ability to really give you something to chew on. Lyrically, she comes forward with such amazing detail and in such an incredibly relatable manner as well. This is something almost anyone can underst

The return of TheethOut is quite a triumphant one, as they recently dropped a full EP that wastes very little time getting straight back to their pop-punk roots. This is a record that holds very little back in the way of letting a lot of inner thought come out and being pretty straightforward, but it also hits hard in terms of guitar tones, riffs, throwing in some speed thrashing, and classic punk rock attitude and attributes. This would be kind of a split. Some people would
