Armen at the Bazaar: Noor

Valerie
When I first heard Armen at the Bazaar's Drive With Me, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was equal parts weird and awesome. Indeed the album is an eclectic combination of sounds. From pop rock, to indie, to sometimes random bits, the record gives these things a fresh take. Listening to the artist feels as if you're globe trotting and exploring different regions all over the world. Armen at the Bazaar is described as a one-man-band making music from Montreal. He started out young, playing in the Toronto Children's Chorus and fronting for various bands later on. His music is honestly tough to classify although he cites that it's a mix of alternative, indie and pop.

Revolution, I Love You: We Choose to Go to the Moon

Valerie
Philly based duo, Revolution, I Love You (R,ILY) comes out with their debut compilation We Choose to Go to the Moon. Despite being newcomers, they've been making quite the impression with their indie-electronic rock sound; motivating listeners to find out more about them after just one listen. Their 10-track album is filled with beautiful layers of synths, pianos and vocals. It's hard to believe sometimes that there's just two of them in the group instead of a full-on 3 or 5 piece. We Choose to Go to the Moon is essentially a hodge podge of pop, electronica, pop music and dance rolled into one lovely package.

Tommy Illfigga: Walk A Mile

Jason
Coming Up Down Under: When most people think of the term 'Hip Hop', they usually don't picture an Australian and why would they? It's not like you see an Aussie 'Hip Hop' clothing line when you go to the store, or watch any reality TV Shows about washed up ex-rappers from Down Under. In fact, I asked 100 random people outside of a record store in Long Beach, CA who their favorite Hip Hop artist from Australia is - and 100% couldn't name one, with over 80% unaware there was Hip Hop in the 'land of oz'. Well, not only is there Hip Hop in Australia, but the scene is thriving with in its constrictive boarders.
