imperfect fifth
the wrecks, “fvck somebody”
Pop rock collective The Wrecks have just released a new party ballad, for lack of a more accurate term. Smooth, cavalier vocals with quite the impressive range, the song maintains its fun disposition despite the interesting topic choice. Regardless of how you feel...
eyedress, “jealous”
Eyedress' new video for "Jealous" visually matches its audio counterpart, as it is equal parts west coast surf/skate rock and 60s-inspired psych, all culminated in a video that brings with it a very specific vintage appeal. It looks like a Nirvana throwback, 90s MTV...
myoa, “you’re my christmas wish” ft. rukus
Ever the optimist, songstress MYOA releases her latest single "You're My Christmas Wish" today, and we have the exclusive premiere. From her smooth-as-honey vocals to the crisp, clean production on this gorgeous new holiday track, you'll find yourself warming up to...
nombe, “paint california”
Pop artist NoMBe creates soul-tinged electric tracks that keep us on our toes. We were so thrilled by his full-length release last spring (They Might've Even Loved Me...), that we had been chomping at the bit a tad more than usual for this new single. Luckily, "Paint...
a picture made, “music is love”
Though it's been a hot minute since a picture made released their latest record Heal on Gooodspeeed Records, the four Kansas and Missouri bred rockers continue to deliver delight from that particular release. Today, we bring you the music video for their single "Music...
Lilla Vargen, We Were Thunder
As if last week didn't give us enough to be thankful for, the week ended with a stunning EP release from Lilla Vargen, titled We Were Thunder. (As an Irish singer/songwriter, Thanksgiving meant nothing outside of the continental United States, but we're still reeling...
hinds, “riding solo”
Raise your hand if you've also been waiting with bated breath for an update from the HINDS camp. The collective -- a foursome that hails from Madrid -- has been creating fun, pop-tinged tunes to bop to for quite some time, but this is their first release of 2019 and...
tedy, “stuck”
Tedy may have a more evolved sound than most -- he originates from Haiti, but has lived in many places and is now taking North America by storm -- but his grit and intensity is so relatable, that there is no fixed genre and even more room for music fans of all types...
steven king, steven king on ice
If you've been looking for instrumentals that will touch your soul simply and evoke emotion before the vocals even hit, check out Steven King's new full-length Steven King on Ice. In fact, try on the first track "Water" for size, and you'll already see what we mean....
halie, “circling”
It's been quite the year for powerful female vocalists. We're totally on board, and it doesn't look like a trend that is going to let up anytime soon. Take fresh Norwegian songstress HALIE, for example, with her new track "Circling". Equal parts mysterious and...
cayley thomas, “midnight hours”
You're into mid century modern decor, correct? I mean, aren't we all? Especially after Marie Kondo helped us clear out our closets last year, and Bobby Berk started re-designing them! Well, imagine what you love about that style. The simplicity, the boldness, the...
whoa dakota + chase the horseman @ the brick
On the chilly evening of Thursday November 21st, Chase the Horseman and Whoa Dakota entertained an enthusiastic crowd at The Brick in The Crossroads district of Kansas City, MO. To experience either is an absolute joy, but we will always sing the praises of Whoa...
kp wolfe, “take back the ring”
KP Wolfe introduced herself to the world this week as a vocal powerhouse with the music video for her single "Take Back The Ring". Grit pours from her lips as she energetically sings about heartbreak. The video itself is pure drama, shot in low light gorgeousness....
bells rang, “tone poem”
San Francisco-based indie rock outfit Bells Rang is ramping up to release their new single "Tone Poem" on November 22nd. But we're jumping the gun (so to say) to bring you the exclusive premiere first! Smooth, assertive, bluesy. This is a soundscape we can get on...
the neighbourhood @ the midland
On November 16th, The Neighbourhood performed at The Midland in Kansas City, MO. Photographer Ashleigh Lee caught the snow, and snapped some highlights just for us. Keep up with The Neighbourhood here.
vanwyck, molten rock
Breezy, ethereal vocals. Light as a feather instrumentals, a warm and inviting soundscape. All of these factors are involved in VanWyck's newest full-length release, out today. The project, titled Molten Rock, is comprised of twelve impossibly beautiful tracks,...
x ambassadors + bear hands @ the egyptian room
On November 9th, X Ambassadors and Bear Hands entertained an excitable -- deservedly so -- crowd show in Indianapolis, IN at the Egyptian Room in Old National Centre. Emerson Swoger caught some highlights for us. Keep up with X Ambassadors...
