“Empty Promises” doesn’t waste any time but grabs you by the gut from the first beat on. This is one truly awesome alt-rock gem with a delightful synth-pop edge, counter balancing the angry undertone. “Empty Promises”, the four-day old single by New York quartet Mainland, is exactly about what you think it[…]
Amanda Steckler aka Blonde Maze released once of my favorite EPs last year with “Ocean”, so I’m very happy to hear a new song “Antarctica”, which features her special brand of restrained electro-pop. “When you leave, I’m cold / It’s like living in Antarctica, where all my time has gone.”[…]
Lillet Blanc is the musical project of Emily Rawlings and Sean Camargo who “write nice moody songs with a lil sass” as per their own description and it is spot on. Lillet Blanc’s debut EP is exactly that, three tracks of lovely songs that offer a first taste of alluring songs with[…]
We saw Brooklyn band Jean Miche live once at an intimate Sunday afternoon show at Union Pool. The duo hauled vintage synths and drum machines to the stage and played this wonderful retro-futuristic music. I have not heard from them since then, so I am happy to hear that they[…]

Young English artist Pixx came to New York for just one show: her label 4AD put her on stage at Irving Plaza together with Australians Methyl Ethyl and locals Lemon Twigs. Pixx plays together with a keyboarder and guitarist so she can focus mostly on singing and that works well[…]
Where to begin… it’s difficult to pick only one favorite song from Ariah&‘s excellent self-titled debut EP. The collection of songs immediately drew me in, like snorkeling in Caribbean crystal turquoise waters, following a swarm of colorful fish, going deep, and deeper and realizing that you can only go that far with a[…]
Easily among our top favorite artists of 2016: Blak Emoji! Behind the electro-pop-rock project is vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kelsey. While he is recording the Blak Emoji tracks by himself with the finishing touches of different producers, Kelsey expands his solo act to a four-piece band when playing live. We are lucky to having[…]
Dirty Dishes is a three-piece from New York around singer/guitarist Jenny Tuite. They played a relaxed show Saturday early evening at The Bowery Electric, with Jenny’s parents in the audience being the only thing that made her nervous, as she admitted. In any case that didn’t reduce the raw energy[…]
