Old Man Wizard: Unfavorable

Jack
I might be a huge, huge pop fan, but I know a good rock band when I hear it. Such is the case with Old Man Wizard, whose “rock” label isn’t only for show, but is also here to debunk everyone who’s pretending that they are.

The Suits: Navy

Jack
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.

Bess Rogers: Songs Other People Wrote

Jack
Brooklyn native Rogers, who, if not moonlighting as a vocal buddy to Ingrid Michaelson, is crafting her own magnificent tunes. Her independent efforts date back to 2007, but she’s now going for the kill — nope, not jumping the shark — as she astounds us with this 4-track cover EP.

Allen Stone: The Sleep Sampler

Jack
Contrary to what this EP might connote, we urge you to get your players poppin’ for Allen Stone. The 26-year-old Stone is inching his way to breaking out onto the mainstream scene, but we’d like to pat ourselves in the back for chronicling his rise this early.

Moon/Ruin: Ocean

Jack
Want to go on a permanent haze? Try giving Moon/Ruin‘s lone EP a spin. Fronted by songwriter Kale Ogle, who’s incidentally the only member of the band, the collection Ocean is a formidable bag of tunes that’s set to keep you going on those hot, lazy nights.

Epilogues: The Cartographer

Jack
If you’ve had quite a day and just want to be taken adrift to some ‘far-away’ place, you better start listening to the Epilogues! This York-based (English) duo composed of Mikey Donnelly and Joey Donnelly continue on their mission to deliver their own brand of folk to the masses, after starting off last year.

The Eastern Sea: Summer Tour Sampler

Jack
Admit it: you are a sucker for some good ‘ol indie rock. This time around, delivering the goods are last year’s breakout act, The Eastern Sea, whose second offering Plague has wiped out all doubts of their success.

The Gorgeous Chans: Jaguar Club

Jack
Another band to hit the UK indie music scene is The Gorgeous Chans, and it looks like their fiesta beats are here to stay. After releasing two hit EPs last year, the 6-piece act returns with a 3-track collection – Jaguar Club – of fun, folk-infused, upbeat pop that might just take your playlists by storm.
