Casey Maunder ’s debut album “Until your heart stops beating” showcased Casey’s vocal, lyrical, and songwriting range and delivered an eclectic collection of songs that range from hard-edged rock to harmony-laden power pop. It received ten out of ten reviews from international publications such as PowerPlay . To support the album, Casey gigged extensively live, opening up for esteemed American acts such as White Lion , Hardline , Trixter , and Love/Hate, as well as workin

A beautifully eclectic and pop-soaked new single from Kristina Menissov manages to deliver such lush storytelling and purpose along with unique production, soulful vocals, and cultural flair, all rolled into one track that really hits a particular way. "Her Story" is the name of the track, and it's called this because the song gets into detail about how people's stories are left behind at times. It delves into the importance of who a person is, what they do, and the stories t

My new 16-track 80s-inspired synthpop album “Whisper Desire” is out now on Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms. It’s my second release as Dam CPH after the more orchestral “Roots and Wings”, and I’m now looking for curators who love nostalgic, melodic and emotional pop.

Westwell est un groupe né de racines profondes et d’une vision partagée. Formé par les auteurs-compositeurs-interprètes James et Gus Corsellis, un duo père-fils, aux côtés du producteur et multi-instrumentiste Jamie Biles, le trio écrit et enregistre dans leur studio niché dans la campagne de l’Oxfordshire. Ce qui n’était au départ qu’une collaboration discrète a peu à peu pris une ampleur inattendue. Leur musique mêle un songwriting réfléchi à une richesse mélodique influenc

A new album release from Bobbo Byrnes serves as a sort of greatest hits type of record. It's a bit of a compilation that's pieced together from different releases previously dropped.  He's taken songs from different records and compiled the best of them into one really big piece of work, and it has an amazingly consistent flow that blends country, folk, Americana, rock, and more, all in one record. One of the biggest aspects of why this record works so well is the storytellin

A new album release from The Rotations recently dropped, and this thing runs the gamut of theatrical rock approaches and sounds. The whole record sort of immerses you into a different and very cinematic style world, bringing all kinds of different instrumentation to the mix, creating moods and atmospheres non-stop, and it's definitely super easy to just get swallowed up by. Now, don't get me wrong, the record has some rock sensibility, and they sprinkle pop undertones here an

The latest single release from Oranoclorados most certainly delivers a bit of a post-punk tonality, with slightly brooding vocals, coated in a bit of a chorus-like effect, along with classic, vast post-punk guitar work that really builds an amazing atmosphere and soundscape for you to sort of float alongside. "Lori (Special Edition)" has some outstanding guitar work that really sets the palate for the song's tone. They have two guitars doing two different things. One is playi

The new single from louderman brings out a very warm sort of tonality with layered acoustic guitars that give off a smooth but addictive progression, additional instrumentation that sounds like both saxophone and clarinet, and live percussion, along with double-tracked vocals that really lay a thickness when it comes to melodies, hooks, and lyrics. This is definitely a track that pulls you in in terms of those lyrics as well. Right from the get-go, you can tell this is a song

Lady Lazarus opens up and gets into the inner workings of a certain someone with "Tough Guy". The song brings with it a beautiful set of melodies and approaches that give the song a warm and honest style and sound. Watch the music video above. "I wrote “Tough Guy” about my relationship with my father. When I first wrote and recorded it, we weren’t in touch, which was deeply painful. The song became a way to heal and reach across that divide — giving voice to the longing and f

A new single release from Stevie Violet definitely has this amazing sort of surf pop rock approach as the guitars have an amazing tone to them, reminding you of classic beach-rock, that also leans into this indie rock area as well, with beautifully bending vocals, and a sentiment that feels like it comes from someplace authentic. The guitar work across this track is brilliant simply because it delivers so many hooks. I really miss songs with instrumental hooks. The chorus is

One of the more innovative artists out there just dropped an album that absolutely breaks down boundaries, bends genres, and creates its own atmosphere, all with this payload of personality from lyrics that are both fiery and honest. The album is called  INTERNETMAN: Digital Superhero , and it's by victorfromtheinternet. This is a fiercely experimental but incredibly addictive set of songs, each with its own aesthetic, although the entire album is very consistent, most of the

Rock music does not always make much space for awe. It makes space for anger, escape, swagger, heartbreak, and volume, sure. But awe is rarer. That is part of what makes MegaDestroyer’s new single “STEAM” feel a little different. There is a palpable depth. The Omaha trio is still working within a recognizable framework, but the impulse behind this song reaches somewhere less ordinary. “STEAM” is drawn toward curiosity, scale, and the unsettling pleasure of realizing how small

A new single release from Fake Mannequin is almost like a lesson in sound sculpting, as the track delivers a lot of smooth and vast tonalities, edging on dream pop but still giving that early to mid-90s style alternative approach, with a little bit of drive, a unique Sonic presence, and that cinematic twang that brings everything together. This is a single that definitely speaks volumes for the project and how they're able to produce tracks that are slightly outside the box a

A beautifully performed new single from T. Nautilus delivers a cross between something very current in terms of singer-songwriter approaches, giving off hints of indie undertone, and classic folk songwriting at the same time. There's something about this song that puts you right there in the moment with it. You get pulled into not just these gorgeous layers of texture delivered by the acoustic guitars, but also the vocals. The beauty of this track is how it's built and put to

A set of songs released from The Revolutionary Ward brings out a massive and sonically driving array of rock music that takes all kinds of different directions, touching on everything from alternative rock to classic rock, and most things in between. Throughout these singles, you can hear some southern undertone; shredding guitars, drums that don't just sit in the pocket, but rather give songs a lively energy and push them forward, and plenty of experimental songwriting along

Born Soul is an artist we are quite familiar with as the artist has been dropping refreshing releases from a long time. His most recent, the TUT E.P. really let him break free and dig deep with his lyrics and production approaches. The record branches out and blends vintage soul and jazz in with the hip-hop, letting the record come through with a lively and alluring soundscape. During our video interview with the artist, we dig into his process, what the recode is really abou

A beautiful new single from Jay Putty delivers such a warm and incredibly inviting atmosphere that drifts and dreams, as it portrays things that the heart desires and does all of this with a sort of spacious and almost cinematically thriving tonality. "Lost In You" is pretty straightforward lyrically. It's about love. As the title suggests, it's about getting lost in someone. Getting lost in everything about them. It's a sentiment that a lot of us can relate to because a lot

“Sebastopol,” the new single by Lost On The Metro, arrives with a warm, Southern folk-rock charm that immediately draws us in. Built around an inviting guitar tone and easygoing rhythm, the track creates a sense of familiarity that feels both nostalgic and fresh. As we listen, we’re carried along by melodic vocals that glide effortlessly over the instrumentation, giving us a song that feels as comforting as it is memorable. The band leans into a subtle blend of indie-rock ele

A new release from Inimata recently dropped, and this record encapsulates a rambunctious attitude, a set of performances, and a blend of genres that's almost difficult to put into words. However, that's part of the fun. When you come across a record this wild and sort of boundless, especially in the way of sticking to a genre, my job is suddenly one of the most fun things to do. I love music like this because it gives you the unexpected. There are more than a few surprises ar

ET Boys are back, and this time they bring forth this sort of bubblegum pop approach, complete with so many grade levels of instrumentation that come together but don't clash, instead complement each other, giving the record this robust and very colorful, pop-coated feel. This single is endlessly danceable, intensely fun, and super addictive. They really deliver loads of vocal hooks, even in the verses, and the entire thing hits like whiplash. I love how they can blend this h
