Twin Berlin: Sleazebrain

Rock will, and always be, the go-to music for people wanting to vent out just about anything. Twin Berlin, a three-piece band composed of Matt Lopez, James Janocha, and Sean O’Neil, is bringing their “raw and belligerent music” to all of the FrostWire users and FrostClick readers alike. [And we love it.]

gorgeous bully: The Young Obese

If, and only if, you ever get to encounter a ‘gorgeous bully’, you should know that fighting back isn’t an option. This clever title is the moniker of Thomas Crang, a Manchester-based musician who has helped transition the act from a solo project to a band effort.

Old Man Wizard: Unfavorable

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.

March of the Real Fly: March of the Real Fly EP

Get those ukuleles up in the air, ‘cause we’re going with the ‘march of the real fly’! The Sydney-based band, who upholds their music as folk and punk, are put to the litmus test in their second, self-titled effort. Bringing a whole lot of attitude, organ-playing, raw drums, and plain trippiness, we can safely say that March of the Real Fly is a bonafide mix of fun.

Zenith Part 2

ZENITH is a retro-futuristic steam-punk thriller, about two men in two time periods, whose search for the same grand conspiracy leads them to question their own humanity. Starting from a fictional recreation of Stanley Milgram's Obedience to Authority experiment (see more on the experiment in Background and Influences), ZENITH plunges into following two parallel stories - of father and son - now, and 40 years into the future.

Shearer: Monument

The underrated pop-punk band, Shearer have literally forged an album that is deserving of a Monumental status... Alright, this statement may be parabolic to an extent; nevertheless, Monument is still exceedingly addictive and wholehearted. Shearer have endowed this album with a sound comparable to that of pop-punk band, The Lost Profits and this vibe is most observable in the similarities between vocalists and guitar tone. In saying this, Monument demonstrates a happier mood and reflects the bands nature, in not taking themselves too seriously. This nature is further reinforced through their self-proclaimed influences of: Jaegermeister, cheap polish cigarettes and table water. Instrumentally, this band reminds me of Millencolin. Generally, this is due to a common use of cheeky, generic and bouncy simplistic verses in which lead to texturally thick and climactic choruses. These are often fashioned through an extreme contrast in dynamics and an addition of harmonic and sometimes multiple backing vocals. Additionally, vocal lines in which intertwine with the dominant voiced melody are also regularly used to enhance this contrast.
