By now, the formula for a perfect pop-rock tune has been perfected (so much) that every new one feels all too generic.
This isn’t the case with Minor Motion, however, as they release their latest effort, Ins & Doubts, wherein they inject as much personality as they can to provide a new experience altogether.
If one mardi gras would be scored by a rock band (or even a metal one), it would probably lay some good music like those of Platypus Egg.
Formed in 2009, this five-piece act is an experimental rock band that peculiarly mixes rock music, funky fiesta rhythms, and occasional death growls.
Pale Houses‘ self-titled album paints remarkable aural landscapes, making plenty of room for a thrilling sonic performance. Released last July 30, this four-track set showcases the skills of Ryan Rayborn (drums), Aaron Robinson (vocals, guitar), Joshua Hood (guitar, lap steel), and Aaron Yung (bass, guitar). The album also features Patrick Dampier on synths and noise.

If you’re looking for a mad dose of lo-fi indie rock, Coed is your best bet in the department. Combining a mix of hipster fun along with raucous guitars, droned out drums and mostly indiscernible vocals; the compilation offers exciting dynamics with some much needed funk.
