Garvin: Up in the Air

Growing up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Garvin uses hip-hop as a true art form, his own personal way of connecting with creativity and emotion. He combines aggressive rock motif with shout-along rap hooks which is a quite famous style in today’s genre.

Norwegian Arms: Wolf Like a Stray Dog

It all started with a Mandolin, a musical instrument from the lute family functioned to play light classical string repertory, and a batch of songs written while shuttered away during a year in Siberia shared between two friends to birth what we know now as Norwegian Arms. With just these simple instruments, the group was able to give body and weight to their earnest, upbeat and thoughtful freak-folk.

Crescent Fresh: The Mondales

Crescent Fresh is the second album by The Mondales, a three-piece pop punk band coming from St. Louis. As an upcoming group from a genre where bands like New Found Glory, Blink-182 and Paramore already flourish, they sure have a numerous challenges to conquer but nevertheless their humble beginnings will eventually lead to their inevitable mainstream success.

Fey Moth: Flesh Foam Bread Bone

This three piece music group hailing from Seattle, Washington have a really eccentric taste for electronic music. In a way it feels like listening to something made for the evenings that end with a good drink or a smoke. What makes their album fun is that there is a supernatural element at work, an x-factor that can incite the most languid sensations and make you break out and dance inside the room.

Andrew Johnathan

Andrew Jonathan’s self titled compilation is a seven track album of acoustic goodies. It is easy to the ear with a grunge like outfit to polish the commercial needs of the listeners. Maintaining focus though can be a bit difficult because of the singer’s gruff tones suddenly springing out from time to time, but still, it doesn’t spoil the good music that it is.

Coroner for the Police: Gentleman’s Relish

They are the Coroner for the Police. They are a 1920s mobster rock-punk band with a penchant for a good suit. They are the fact and the reason why you will have loads of fun listening to music for the next couple of minutes. Hailing from the United Kingdom, Dave, Nathan, John and Dan formed the band at the start of 2012 in a clingy warehouse then gigs followed wherein beers were drunk and friends were made.

Death in the Afternoon: Singles & B-sides

Death In The Afternoon‘s May 2012 release entitled Singles & B-sides is a sonic goldmine for electro dance enthusiasts. Hailing from Sweden, this five-piece band is composed of Christian (vocals/guitasr/synth), Albin (guitar/synth), Linda (bass/synth), and Rasmus (drums/synth). There is a distinct brand in Death in the Afternoon‘s music that you wouldn’t hear in any other band. The musical infusion of rock, 80s influence, new wave, and electro make a solid foundation for the collection.

Kid Runner

Kid Runner transcends the traditional structure, conventional tempo and the usual instrumental in its genre. Radio-friendly choruses and mainstream pop themes are still evident but expect more of the pulsing dreams, swing beats and gospel choirs thrown around here and there from time to time.
