Aptly titled Garage Days, Avenue’s EP is a your average pop punk fare, but with a twist: the usual bass and electric guitar are replaced with a rawer-sounding acoustic guitar (strummed to its core) and basic drums. Though this sounds amateur-ish, it’s part of the EP’s charm.
The sea serves as an inspiration to so many wonderful things, including Fanfarlo‘s recent EP.
This London-based indie alternative band released The Sea last October 2013, and the quintet describes it as “science fiction” concept project, where the songs are said to be a discussion about the possible origins of humanity and the direction we are all heading for in the future. Moreover, the group describes it as “Space Opera” meets “Spaghetti Western.” [Hmm, interesting.]
The wait is finally over for Deadwall fans as the band’s second release, Bukimi no Tani, is up for grabs.
The UK, Leeds group formed in early 2012, where they released their first EP but later disbanded. After regrouping, the four-piece crew returns to the music scene with a fresh set of songs that, as they put it, “treads that well worn line of beauty and brutality.”
Get lost on some stellar, layered melodies with Heaps n Heaps‘ Dancing on the Moon. Released last 13 November, this collection features four tracks for easy listening.
Heaps n Heaps is lead by the duo of Alisa from Australia, Sydney and Zach from Salt Lake City, Utah. The group is currently based in Los Angeles, chasing their musical dream.
When was the last time you listened to a simple pop-rock record?
Amidst a musical landscape that has acts continuously trying to sound sophisticated, Jonathan Jones keeps things fairly basic and straightforward. He culls inspiration from the late 00′s big names (Coldplay, The Fray, and Jimmy Eat World) to create music that’s as radio-friendly as its easily likeable.
Add a zing to your lazy day with Polite Fiction’s latest EP, Portrait. Dance your heart out in this collection’s distinct flavor of rock and alternative pop.
Ambient blues rock has a leg up with other genres when it comes to writing reflective lyricism that punches the heart. This intent to hone clear stories into a relaxing yet entertaining fashion is clearly shown in Clare Costello‘s Halloween EP.
Love Like Thieves is a 16-track album by the band called Audience of Actors. The musical styles of this band are reflected in this album ranging from alternative, indie folk, and rock.
Someone’s Side of Forever is a track that is a perfect example of band’s low and morose vocals. This track is centered with heavy, melancholic guitars. Despite the obvious sadness of the tune, Someone’s Side of Forever showcase alternative indie folk at its finest.
