Tracer Flare: Sigh Of Relief

NatalieMay 12, 2015

I think it needs to be said; lately it is more than easy to find great indie/alternative bands from Canada. Not sure if it was always this way (maybe the countr... Read More

Some sweet alternative pop sounds are on it’s way all the way from Australia where the Swedish singer/songwriter Mirva recorded her EP One (and the fresh new album scheduled for release very soon). With her music, the singer creates “…feel-good, inspirational & serotonin-raising musical experiences. Under the MiRVA umbrella, I strive to make music that is good for the soul with a positive approach aimed to inspire and spread happiness in our world.”

Koi: Maelstrom

WengNovember 16, 2014

There is something unusual yet engaging in Maelstrom, electronic act Koi’s debut album. It sounds like an addict gamer’s soundtrack to a 12-hour game binge with its 8-bit hooks, dynamic loops and morphed sounds.

Sarah Miles: Sampler

garrettsNovember 5, 2014

The songs are a blend of pop and folk. Sarah’s new songs also feature a nice graceful melody that isn’t overpowering and focuses on a true easy listening experience. Her new single “Stand Up” sounds like a steady upbeat infusion of country, pop, and folk. The songs are a blend of pop and folk.

Callaghan: 40 States and Counting

JackAugust 20, 2014

Many years and counting, and we’re still looking for that seminal pop-rock record to stimulate our bubbly senses. A worthy contender comes in the form of Callaghan, a relatively new female act that possesses a solid set of heart-wrenching tunes. Born as Georgina Callaghan, the 31-year-old prodigy has been hard at work since the latter part of the previous decade, and hasn’t stopped ever since.

Austin Ellis: The New Vision

JackAugust 14, 2014

Singing heartthrobs seem to be the trend of the moment. Who can blame ‘em? When there’s smoke, there’s fire. Former The Voice contestant Austin Ellis isn’t the one to back down, and he continues his professional musicianship with an eight-track acoustic EP entitled The New Vision.

The All-About: Suburban Heart

JackJuly 30, 2014

Some of the best music probably stems from one’s reminiscences about his or her hometown, and Suburban Heart is no exception. In his latest project, Zac Coe – The All-About is his pseudonym – solely mans the boat, almost. Well, yeah, he’s enlisted some friends, but the nitty-gritty, such as the autoharp and the glockenspiel, are entirely his.

Ben Rector: Ben Rector

JackJuly 10, 2014

Sometimes, underrated is good. It gives the artist more leeway to showcase his talents and let the public judge him based on that alone. Such is the case with the talented Ben Rector, who — I’ll shamefully admit — I didn’t know until a few moments ago. Upon browsing his bio and his discography, dude’s pretty much made, providing some of his compositions as soundtracks to hit TV series.

cultureculture: cultureculture EP

JackJune 24, 2014

Does retro-sounding indie music tickle your fancy? You’re better off with the feel-good vibes of cultureculture. Call them ’80s revival if you must, but the boys — whose personal details are carefully under wraps — are just huge fanboys of music with a “funky bassline,” which is evident in mentioned influences such as Tears for Fears and Chromeo.
