Plumb: Career Sampler

She’s a soundtrack staple, but there’s more to Plumb than simply upping the ante of some ordinary drama. Known as Tiffany Arbuckle Lee on her birth certificate, the pop-rock darling has produced some notable tunes — “Stranded”, “Boys Don’t Cry” — elevating her to star status within the adult contemporary music circuits.

Sarah J Stanley: not a teepee catalogue

Not a Teepee Catalogue is already the eighth album released by Sarah J Stanley. With the number of her releases, it is no doubt that Stanley has something special in her sleeve. With Not a Teepee Catalogue, it is proven. The title mud dance is very contrary with its music. It is a mellow, and very easygoing track. It has a unique blend of the music and its vocals. The guitar strumming is laid-back and comforting. mud dance has a very special tune, and great lyrics as well.

Autographed Apologies: Change With The Seasons

This Valentine’s season, an acoustic record is somewhat of a required listening. We’re passing the baton to Autographed Apologies, a relatively new band of the alternative/punk rock breed. Taking cues from popular contemporaries such as All Time Low and Something Corporate, the boys are trying the gain renown through the “fan favorite route”.

Tiger Choir: Unicycles

They might not “roar” but this group of tigers is still a killer act to follow. Without hesitation, we’d like to introduce you to Hobart-based (that’s in Australia) quartet Tiger Choir. Just like a choir should, expect solid harmonies to dominate their songs, as is in their latest release, Unicycles.

Meager Fare: Meager Fare EP

‘Meager fare’ doesn’t necessarily always mean some form of scarcity. If we’ll allude things to the band’s name, Meager Band, then it must be said that they have refuted themselves, since from lacking — they composed music out of their songwriting trips to the NC mountains — came a bunch of music that are just as rich as any other glossy mainstream project out there.

Speaking Suns: Part One

There are times when we’re just craving for that dose of suburban indie. Actually, that time might be now. Speaking Suns, a relatively new independent band, is shooting for the sky (excuse the pun, guys) with their own breed of indie pop via their newest EP, Part One. As to why the collection is named as such, we don’t know, but something tells us that it might signify they’re messianic destiny

The Suits: Navy

Better get your “suits” on, because we’re in for a lot of good tunes! Electro-rock acts are in so much abundance nowadays, you can’t really tell which is which. Luckily, for The Suits, their sound is distinct and sonic enough to stand up among their peers.
