VIDEO: FEWS – 10 Things

FEWS, the Swedish/American quartet based in the U.K., have with their debut “Means” released one of my top favorite albums of 2016 and after The Zoo and 1000 Goosebumps, they put out another video, this time for “10 Things”. Initially, the splatter style B-movie video set in a 60s bowling alley left me a[…]

VIDEO: Electrogenic – In This Together (Apoptygma Berzerk cover)

Apoptygma Berzerk is a Norwegian band who is around since the late 80s and I have to admit that I didn’t know them until a few days ago. But there are a lot of younger bands that feel being musically influenced by them so much that they decided to do[…]

SONG PICK: Cryptochrome – CLOUD

Not shy of using elements from different genres to create the music they want, Cryptochrome take beats from hip-hop, add some heavy industrial vibes, mix in female singing vocals, plus some rapping male and female vocals and voila! something absolutely fresh and exciting has been made with “CLOUD”.

NEW EP: Lost Woods – Lost Woods

Lost Woods are among those bands that once you’ve heard a song of theirs, you’re at least intrigued if not smitten. Just listen to their self-titled debut EP and then decide. Whatever you’re leaning towards, Lost Woods comprised of Peter White (vocals), Tom Baird (guitar), Sam Baird (guitar), Brayden Leske (bass) and Matt Crago (drums), based in Adelaide,[…]

SONG PICK: GLASS PEAKS – Your Eyes

“Your Eyes”, the debut single by alt-pop quartet GLASS PEAKS, is the sonic equivalent to “no further questions asked”, because the track is simply that good! There is no need to know more about the band or if they can match this stunner with an equally awesome follow-up, for now there is[…]
