FUR’s “Angel Eyes” Brings Indie-Rock Back Into Focus
The definition of Rock as a genre is one the most debated topics I’ve ever had to discuss with both passive listeners and published artists, with no one really coming to a conclusion of what “Rock” actually is. Most tend to simply cite a few bands or artists that come to mind when they think […]
Dissecting “King Of Books” by The Rungs
Glamorous 80s-inspired indie pop is the designer flashback that many artists are pulling out of the closet these days.

Some people would call me crazy, but here’s what I think: it’s never too early for Christmas. It truly is the most wonderful time of year. Everything is glowing and warm and sweet and happy.

Feel “Electric” From Head to Toe with CLARA-NOVA
Time has flown so fast this year; December is already here! You can no longer escape the lights, the wreaths, the snow, the stockings.

Kalle Mattson’s “Twice The Gifts” Subverts the Christmas Song Genre
Christmas is a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness, right? While it is a merry occasion for many, for others it is a forced gathering in which previously buried familial hostilities resurface. They dread the holiday, but it comes back to plague them every year. Canadian singer-songwriter Kalle Mattson certainly feels this way, as evident […]
Amour Glamour’s “Love in the Shower” is a Trippy Tribute to Britpop
Amour Glamour’s “Love in the Shower” sounds like The Cure on acid. That’s not a bad thing. It starts slow and it starts weird. Amour Glamour plays with silence in the opening few seconds of the track in a manner that grabbed my attention and kept it through the more traditional beats of the song. […]
Homes’ “Loveable” Will Make A Home In Your Heart
“Loveable” is a song about the journey to loving yourself and it is devastating in all the right ways. The vocals make this song. The melody is strong, but it is the sentiment of the singer that really takes this song to the next level. The song tells the story of a man telling someone, […]
The Story Of Shy Shy Shy’s “Joyride”
In their latest track “Joyride”, Denmark based band Shy Shy Shy tackles long nights of cruising away from misery.

Go Back in Time with Trevor Myall’s “90s Kid”
When we were kids, we couldn’t wait to grow up. Now, as adults, we often reminisce about our childhood, wishing we could go back. Being a kid means no responsibilities. Being a kid means no anxiety about the future. And, most importantly, being a kid means that your only goal in life is to have […]
Andrew Goldring’s “Chemical Spirit Connection” is an Organized Chaos
Love can be intoxicating. The anxiety, excitement, and high we get from love are similar to a drug or alcohol-induced high. It almost feels like your body is out of our control when you interact with your crush; you tend to slur your words, sometimes your hands shake, and your heart often races. Once we’re […]
