Blood Makes Noise

Voice of Doom's "Night Tide" starts out with as close to a Danzig vibe as you can get without doing a cover. The main riff has a Dirty Black Summer feel and the vocals are so exact that if I…

Berlin-based artist Vlimmer just released a new two track double single EP prior to his debut album, “Nebenkörper” (English: "Secondary body"), set to release on September 24, 2021. The first track, "Meter" is a dance…

Something comes off a little bit Karen O-ish about this track but it’s not quite that indie. Instead it’s like if you take a healthy dose of Americana and injected it into modern female fronted indie rock stuff like Phoebe…

LA based singer/songwriter Ryan Pollie returns with his first song in two years. An excellent melancholy pop masterpiece, “The Shore House” weaves around with precise instrumentation in between incredibly catchy verses, stops and starts and a hooky chorus. The track…

When this track first gets a few bars in I hear early 80’s radio pop in the vein of Loverboy or one of those mall tour chicks like Tiffany or Debbie Gibson and even those examples have more edge to…

So I did my due diligence and as my suspicions were proven correct, didn’t really need a remix as the original is more interesting than the remix in my opinion. They took a mellow indie rock song and now it’s…

Career Boy brings da funk, wif “Size Up”, mo fos! Whoa, what happened? 
Clocking in at under two minutes, it seems they wanted to get in and out on this one, quick! 
I mean, it works but would've liked another…

I’m not sure how I feel about this. The band compares themselves to Vampire Weekend and Phoebe Bridgers, two artists I love. Not sure I hear that at all, where as it’s not quite…

So full disclosure I run a record label and I’ve come to an agreement with Blood Makes Noise to let me promote releases every week. The idea is every week I will present a playlist with some new Mint 400…

In anticipation of their new single, "Couples Therapy" (out 9/10 on Mint 400 Records, pre-save link here from the upcoming record "Neon Inoculation" (the band's first new record in four years), Underlined Passages is sharing a special playlist they curated…

“Out Of Sequence” will be the second release for A Carousel Moon this year. A project made up of Michael Esserman and Eric Sosler of NY State indiepop band The Racer. This is actually the second side project to…

It’s weird to write an article about yourself - but as it turned out, nobody else was dying to write this for me. So hi, I’m Neil, founder of NJ based band Fairmont. We were always just a small indie…

The debut album "Pusher" by the dreampop band Devotions will be released September 9, 2021, and is available for pre-order from Somewherecold Records. From Brisbane, the "wonder from down under", Devotions is a dreampop band that has…

I’m a sucker for nostalgia. Any music or song that gives me the feels and brings me back to a more innocent time always gets me. The band asserts their band’s songs have a “back…
