  • Ed Han [unedited]

    Ed Han on SoundCloud Ed Han       I was pleasantly surprised by the lightness of this cool tune by Ed Han from California. Moonlight Beach is a very mellow and kind of relaxing music to listen to. It makes for some sort of zoning out and just being in the moment. Hearing this kind of…

  • Yur Mum [unedited]

    Yur Mum on Spotify Yur Mum  Interview & Review        Where does the band name come from? “It came from this” Akos (drummer) said while pointing to a wine bottle. “It was after a rehearsal and a lot of alcohol” said Ane (vocalist), “we needed an idea fast cause we had a gig…

  • Dogtooth [unedited]

    Dogtooth on Spotify (Facebook) Dogtooth      Dogtooth is a very interesting band, and they seem very mature. Their sound can be compared to indie rock bands like Catfish and the Bottlemen and even Oasis. With songs like Rebel and Get In Get Out, they have got some nice guitar riffs and punk-sounding vocals. These guys…

  • Jon Magnusson [unedited]

    Jon Magnusson on Spotify Jon Magnusson   When I told my friend, Abe, that I liked this guy, Jon, in a weird way he went on to say that he didn’t know what I meant…… I honestly I just like him…. That is I like his intriguing sound that I haven’t heard others try to…

  • Birthday Card [unedited]

    Birthday Card on Spotify Birthday Card & (Facebook) Heartstops Single    Birthday Card seem like a creative bunch of guys. Their type of lounge music reminds me of the Papercuts, Woods, and their influences New Order, and Prince with a lower tone. And my mind is blown by the recent success on their Facebook page music video with over;…

  • Hush Forever [unedited]

    Hush Forever on Spotify Hush Forever     2016 seems to have treated the Hush Forever band well, with the song “Life Is A Black Curtain” being in the film JAG ÄLSKAR DIG (I Love You). Also they had the honor to open for Vanessa Carlton and British band Lantern On The Lake. But now it is 2017,…

  • Simon Alexander Gothberg [unedited]

    Simon Alexander Gothberg on Spotify Simon Alexander Gothberg           To be honest, I have no idea what else I think about this Swedish artist other than “wow”. When it came to finding a similar artist/singer, it took me the longest time to compare Simon. It all came down to Marcus Mumford,…

  • Prime [unedited]

    Prime on Facebook (Facebook) Interview & Review        With The Clash and The LA’s as their influences, I knew I was in for an interesting band to review. Prime’s music sound like the flow of some of the Cure and Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros songs, with Modest Mouse sort of different sounding vocals,…

  • Four Colour Ghosts [unedited]

    Four Colour Ghosts on Spotify Four Colour Ghosts  (Twitter) Interview & Review      To me, the preservation of classic rock is ideal to celebrate rock music. Four Colour Ghosts are doing that and making it sound bad a$$. This week I have met a couple bands that are seeking to sound like classic rock…

  • Wolfe Sunday [unedited]

    Wolfe Sunday on Spotify (Google) Wolfe Sunday      I love Airborne Toxic Event and Green Day, and this guy is both of these bands. His voice, especially in Kith & Kin/Sick to the Bone,  sounds like ATE, and his punk background sounds as simple as Green Day.       Wolfe is one of many…
