A series of well-thought, polished arrangement push Like Crazy into new sonic heights with Forget the World. Greg Pearse (vocals/guitars), Sara Ternyila (vocals), and Dennis Wilson (drums) serve us five fresh pop rock pieces.
Get caught up in ‘the wind’, get caught up on Josh Sizemore‘s awesome debut.
This 23-year-old Nashville prodigy’s taking a bite out of the folk scene, as he releases his EP, The Wind. Opening for the likes of Shovels & Rope, Brooke Waggoner, and War Jacket, Josh is now taking center stage, and his four-track offering simply dazzles.
If you ask us, we prefer to “stay south”, at least within the realms of Alice‘s world.
The pretty songstress chooses to remain unknown to the world except for her mononym (her real name is Alice Redfem), which is perfectly acceptable since we’d gladly accept that she use her talents to get famous, rather than, well, twirk.
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.
A trip to the lukewarm embrace of the sea isn’t complete with a good soundtrack, on which Manua Loa perfectly fits the role to a T.
The band’s third and latest effort, Tales & The Sea, is your ideal jam-by-the-fireside ditty, and will no doubt garner new fans for this German band. The three-piece act composed of Jules Ahoi, Alaska WhiteSun, and Duncan Vert (we’re expecting some German-sounding names, though) have rendered the acoustic gods proud.
Get ready to pack your bags and sunnies as Turtles, Magnets, Animals EP pays homage to the season of sea, sand, and uneven tan lines.
Pushing the boundaries of harmonic rock, this five-track collection is Sunbeam Rd.’s first official release. Hailing from the Bay Area, Sunbeam Rd. is a four-piece band that’s dedicated to create a sort of fuzzy trance in their melodic rock songs.
“Art is born from tension. And this tension is something that Seattle folk singer and songwriter Naomi Wachira feels every day as an African living in America.”
This is how the up-and-coming singer’s bio reads (from her official website), and amazingly, the tension transcends beautifully to her 4-track sampler, now available from Noisetrade.
With a flair for the dramatic, wonderful strange noises and massive drums, Our Wild Love‘s latest musical project, Uneven Beats, fleshes out raw fantasies creating a jungle of intensified sonic goodness.
Expect nothing but well-tailored beats and impressive arrangements. Puzzles, an 11-track album by the 11 beat makers and producers of Raw Tapes, was released last January 2013.
Owned and operated by Osbourne “Ease” Green, Raw Tapes Records have been releasing outstanding records since 2010.
