Blood Makes Noise

Fun mellow indie rock with a little bit of country twang kind of in the vein of Social Distortion but with a more nasally John K from The Weakerthans type vocal. On second listen it becomes more apparent that the…

It’s a wake n bake kinda morning, what with the delta variant and new mask mandates, people refusing to get the vaccine, the bizarre adventure that is employment, and the post (not yet apparently) pandemic and…

If you haven’t heard the Chicago surf and indie rock band The Limbos then let me fill you in. The Limbos are a surf / soul band that dabbles in indie rock and their singer and main songwriter Ryan Miera…

Hey, it’s me, KL Martin. Back in the swing of things after a very very busy end of spring and the first half of summer. I balance a lot of things one of those things being a councilman for a…

It’s not often anymore you hear something that has good soul roots to it, but this does. It’s a little Otis Reading, Marvin Gaye and a vocal that reminds a little bit of a mellowed out Lionel Richie. The music…

For those of us nerdy enough about power pop to belong to fb groups that debate such important topics such as whether or not The Only Ones and The Smithereens are…

A gothy brit rock dance tune with driving synth and excited screams shouting the songs hook “She’s Outside” make this an enjoyable tune in the vein of The Rapture but with more polished vocals. The accent to me is interesting…

Brooklyn's Nihiloceros play indie rock but with a bit more aggression at times to break up the more straightforward, unapologetic melody of the verses. A good example is the menacing guitar solo that comes in at…

RMBLR bring us killer punk rock’n’roll from Atlanta GA, with a sound that brings to mind The Devil Dogs, with the energy of The Supersuckers and a snarl and trashiness of our own NJ…

Multi-instrumentalist Jim Lough of Old Town Crier blends Americana vibes, 50s doo wop catchiness and backup vocals, and a Springsteen/Dylan feel to his new EP “I’m Longing For…
