Clockwork: Clockwork EP

Detroit's Clockwork aims to bring back a little bit of 90s punk in today's music scene. It's too early to tell if they'll become successful at this but their sound is quite promising.

This serves as a follow-up to their first EP, aptly named "Self-Titled." Steering away from the Blink 182 type of punk rock and into a deeper, darker and overall, more hardcore punk style; the band is slowly paving their own way in the indie music scene.

AstroLust: Illusions

Illusions is a world where only beats, rhythm and dub matter. Created by Dominic H. Francisco aka AstroLust, the album throbs and teases with various triphop dub sounds. There's really not that much info about the artist available online but one thing's for sure, his capacity to capture this cool and dark atmosphere by manipulating samples, synths and instruments is praiseworthy. This is the fourth release from the artist since June 2012 and it seems listeners can expect some more until the year ends.
