I am sharing this song mostly because of the video. I love it. I have not seen such a nice video in a while. The song is a popish one, but with a very catchy melody, love the color of the voice and the chorus is just perfect. Another great thing coming out of Sweden. If this would play in mainstream radios, I would be very happy. I would…

Wade Steely is 20 year old artist from NY.
Some colors of voice are more fitting me than others. I don’t know why it is like that. Wade’s vocals are working for me very well. Love his mellow, pleasant voice that is getting under my (music) skin. The song has a very simple melody, but with so much power. I wish I was such a talented musician at this age as Wade is.
Bonus: Female vocals later in song are so beautiful.

Do you know that feeling when you listen to a song for the first time and you like “nah” I am not into it, but something makes you listen again and again and again. Somehow you are listening it for the fifth time and the first feeling is completely away. This happened to me with Same Lie by Albert Kass. I could not stop re-listening to it until I was totally hooked by the melody and lyrics. I am so into this verse:
“Who knows, we might be living the same lie, can you believe, this shit’s been normalized”

Drens is a wild Surf Punk four-piece from Dortmund/Cologne, Germany.
Surf rock at its best. There is so much energy in this song. I can totally imagine myself being at the show (I will have a chance in the November in Vienna) and jamming to this song played live. So happy to discover another great band from Europe.

Do you know that feeling when you listen to music and you cannot stay cold and you need to move? That’s exactly how I felt when I listened to Unholy by Hollie Col. I felt (music) joy. I feel like we can have fun and dance a little. I always liked female vocals and Hollie’s ones are really catchy.
I have read that she is supposed to tour in Europe soon, maybe I can see her play a live set in Central Europe too.

I always enjoy listening to music that has few plays, bands that have few fans. The sense of freshnes of new discovery was driving power for my never ending search for new music. The new single In Between from Los Angeles duo Junaco is that specific case. Even though the song was apparently produced by some more known person (Omar Yakar?), I am feeling a lot of unheard freshness in the song. The female vocals are getting deep under my skin. A great indie rock.

I have written in the previous feature about track Moment, that I am excited about the newest album. The album is here and I am even more hyped. A mixture of modern American folk music with indie rock is working very well for me. I recommend you save an hour for these 10 amazing tracks and give them a proper listen. You will not regret it. There are so many tiny pieces of music you can discover in these tracks. Worth listening over and over.
The only thing that makes me sad that this release is not a physical release. It deserves it.

“Olympia songwriter Mary Water (Little Red Car Wreck) combines with Pat Maley (Lois, Courtney Love) and E. Michael Bradley to create power-pop songs about real-life nightmares, boot camps, late bills, and scraping by.”
I am a fan of Antiquated Future Records. They have a really nice collection of local-ish artist from Northwest Coast. Cassette labels were always bringing so many great bands to Bandcamp and I am very thankful for this. I think that small cassette labels are the most crucial part of the whole indie scene.
Check this awesome project and get it on cassette at antiquatedfuture.bandcamp.com/album/downwardly-mobile-steel-accelerator
I want to give more space on my blog to non-male artists. Jenny Kern is a great female singer from Canada. The melodies are very simple, vocals very pleasing. Also the lyrics about building bridges is pretty important. We should all try to build bridges between each other and “meet somewhere in the middle”.

Past weeks I realized that there are many bands not using Bandcamp. I have no idea why this is happening. I am very biased about Bandcamp and always prefer to share music that is released there. Therefore, all bands with the music released on Bandcamp have a big plus.
El Rocko has many pluses. Great song. Great vocals. Great guitars. Great vibe. I am totally into this. I am just packing orders for my label Z Tapes and this is a perfect soundtrack. I just wish there were more tracks like this. I hope this artist will make more great songs in the future.

We are an Alternative Indie Rock band from the French Alps, South Wales. I have no idea where this band is coming from. The video has a really nice touch, very retro-ish and the song has a lot of indie fuzzy power. Reminds me of early Wavves’ songs. A great kick for my sleepy Friday workday.

I am pretty biased when it comes to Swedish artists. But maybe they are just too good. Miynt is great. This new track Peaches is getting under my skin. I am blasting it in my headphones overloaded in my daily job. A nice retreat. Different world. A Swedish music world.

I always find interesting to know the location from where the musicians are coming from. Charlotte, North Carolina. I have been there along time ago. I always wonder whether it has effect on music, whether you can discover the essence of location in the track. Maybe you can, I did not get there yet.
Molly is sweet little track with a simple melody and lyrics. I love that.

Sometimes I enjoy songs for no specific reason without being able to explain why. Wasteful is one of them. Maybe the vocals, maybe lyrics, maybe instruments or just combination of them. Either way I really like this track and recommend you checking out other music by Helenor.
