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

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. "Tug" blends plenty of elements of electronic music, utilizing synth pads to crea

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. "Believe" starts off with a bit of a flowing electronic sound, taking layered synthesizers and pads and letting them breathe to start creating a bi

The Cavernous recently released an EP that blends a multitude of electronic influences with elements of industrial, alternative, and dreamscape, all rolled into one record that delivers vast and almost haunting atmospheres along with robust layers of texture that build and create soundscapes you end up falling right into. The EP is dubbed The Amaranthine Trilogy Volume One: (Un)broken Circles, and it certainly doesn't waste a lot of time with its first track, "Something Speci

A thrashy new EP release from Afterbirth Cartoons delivers a punk rock Soiree that edges on elements of garage, riot rock, and plenty more, all infused with a righteous and thriving energy that hits hard and with a gritty sound and attitude that you can't turn away from. Listening to this EP gives you the feeling of seeing the band live. It's as if they recorded the entire thing live on the floor, in one room. It feels like everyone is feeding off of each other's energies the

Half Dizzy release a new record that spans the punk rock spectrum, giving loads of hooks, grit, and heavy handed, catchy songs through and through. This is the band's second album release and they didn't hold back. "All or None" stands tall amongst the songs with inventive riffs and powerhouse singing along with the title track "Yard Sale", being just a few that are more than notable. Check this record out if you love punk! BIO: Half Dizzy is a high-energy five-piece ska-punk

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. The brothers are known for delivering all kinds of raw energy on both recording and during live performances, but this track captures something bright. It's colorful, fun, super catchy, and still has a lot of that thriving classic rock running through its veins, with guitar work that stands out and vocals that are oozing with soul. The trac

There’s a certain confidence in music that refuses to explain itself. Not arrogance, not mystery for the sake of mystery, but the confidence to let strange decisions remain strange. by thrives on that instinct. Songs veer into fuzz, dance rhythms, psychedelic detours, and wiry post punk structures without stopping to smooth out the edges between them. The album Irresistable (spelled with an A is not a typo) by clash bowley keeps mutating in small ways, and that unpredictabili

A warm new single release from Sko/Torp delivers such a welcoming sentiment along with beautiful tones that come through with pop overtones but a contemporary underbelly, all breeding this wonderfully spirited but semi-laid back soundscape. "The Beauty of Life" is a truck about just living life, being alive now, and the fact that because we are here, and we are alive, there's lots of beauty to be held. "The beauty of life is that it's happening." A statement that is so simply

A new single release from Neo Stereo brings out a very unique approach that feels a little experimental but comes together naturally. This is a single that breeds a very vast and electronic backbone. It opens up with some fresh keys that beckon synthwave, along with that spacious feeling that pushes a cinematic tonality, all combined with vocals that are kind of belting out, and this gives the track the air of emotional backbone, but also a lot of character. Throughout a lot

A wonderfully eclectic set of songs from Yugs just dropped today, and this record has an unstoppable diversity while remaining consistent in a nearly perfect way. The songs most certainly embody an indie rock aesthetic, but there are others that reach outward and branch out into electronic, inviting colorful synths, beats, and more. You also get a range of natural and digital instrumentation, from acoustic to electric guitars and plenty more, along with a robust sort of perso

A gorgeous new release from Luana Sandoval delivers a warm set of tones with robust vocals that have a bit of power but a lot of passion behind them, which all come together like puzzle pieces, creating this beautiful atmosphere that you get pulled right into. "Kiss Me Softly" is a sensual track that feels like it was most certainly pulled from someplace authentic. The track does have plenty of pop sensibility with a bopping beat and colorful instrumentation at times, followi

A new release from Portal Gun comes through with a bit of a psychedelic undertone brought on by guitars with soft, delicate tonalities, flowing approaches, and all accompanied by vast soundscapes, with synth pads that create a bit of an atmosphere for you to float alongside. "Alpha Centauri" is a wonderful blend of indie pop, dream rock, jazz, and hints of contemporary lace throughout it. Those synth pads build depth into the track, adding an amazing layer that creates a more

A fresh EP release from Aye Mammoth delivers a raw energy that I haven't heard in quite some time, bringing together elements of doom, stoner, and experimental rock with elements of progressive, and all of it has the air of a live performance, as if they recorded this thing alive in a room all at once. This is a record with a lot of drive and a brilliant sonic presence that blends a metal tonality with a fuzzier tone, a desert-rock-style approach, and it all works out pretty

A Beautiful new single from Beth Beighey delivers a very unique breed of honesty that digs deep and showcases a lot of personality, which is really what you end up getting attached to the most throughout this track. It's very personal. It feels both difficult to sing about, but also possibly cathartic at the same time. The track boasts a beautifully country and Americana tonality with loads of warm acoustic instrumentation along with electric guitars that sort of float throug

This is what live metal should be. Bones of Goliath just released their “Blade, Fang, Blood and Claw” live video, and if you’re looking for studio trickery, keep walking. This is the raw truth: amps buzzing, crowd locked, and the riffs landing like punches. The band hit the stage on Halloween and let it rip, knowing damn well the only thing that matters is bringing the heat. “Seeing the crowd move to the grooves is the biggest compliment we can get,” they said. Not Spotify st
