Trendy Bands

Vandaveer is the town-folk, city-pop, solo song and dance routine stated for the record and committed to tape by one Mark Charles Heidinger. In recent seasons this Mark Charles character traversed the mighty American highways spreading golden pop rock cheer and debauchery as principle singer, songwriter, hand-clapper and chorus-yelper for The Apparitions. Where The Apparitions [...]

The Waterboys will be releasing their latest single, “Everybody Takes a Tumble” on March 19th in the UK. The single is off of their new album, Book of Lightning, out on April 2nd.
Mike Scott has been playing music in the folk, celtic and sometimes rock style Waterboys since 1983 when he formed the band. After [...]

Cool band alert! The Blood Arm is a rockin’ band from LA, and their sound travels far - at times eerily reminiscent of Scottish band Franz Ferdinand, who happen to be fans of the band…and wow these guys have rocked my socks off. The best way to listen to The Blood Arm’s “Suspicious Character” single [...]

Neva Geoffrey’s melodies have come together to form torch songs that take you to the depths of obscurity while remaining in your heart. With a record that emits her journey, you’ll remember the now distanced moods that have once possessed you. The tender in her voice is found weaving through guitar strings, sweeping piano pop, [...]

There is so much to be said about Nine Inch Nails that as much as I hate to admit it, it’s all pretty much over my head as to the amount of work they are involved in, let alone Trent Reznor projects as a separate entity.
Looking at their official website, I feel that I may [...]

Why Mando Diao isn’t an all around household name yet, I just don’t know. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to hear them, and you like your indie rock punk sounding bands that have a tendency to shift from one sound to the next, then listen to them now! You’re missing out! If you have [...]

Hayward Williams‘ Another Sailor’s Dream is a freewheeling, shotgun wedding of folk, blues and rootsy country rock, all filled with a gorgeous blend of ache, gristle and whiskey-toned gruffness. The album is comprised of songs that walk a perfect line between the sweet and bitter, and the sentimental and cynical, and is perfectly bookended by [...]

I’m always on the lookout for a female singer to come on the scene and ‘wow’ me and I think it’s just happened with Liverpool based singer Candie Payne. Her latest single, “I Wish I Could Have Loved You More” due to be released on March 12th has an old 60’s pop feel that quickly [...]

The more I listen to new band on the scene Ghosts‘ latest single, “Stay the Night”, the more I like it. With the release of “Stay The Night” coming up on March 19th, this breezy indie pop song has a very summery feel. It’s almost too bad it wasn’t released closer to the summer, but [...]

When I first heard “Shine On” by Jet I immediately thought of Oasis during the chorus of the song. Another observation that I’ve made is that sometimes when I see Jet’s lead singer, even though he looks nothing like him, there’s just something about Nic Cester that reminds me of Bono from U2. These observations [...]
