I've never heard of Hona Costello until he sent me his song "High", which has this almost upbeat reggae pop vibe with some smooth lyrics about doing what many people love. Stream and download "High" below. Tweet
e-dubble's been releasing a ton of new stuff in recent weeks and just recently, he dropped Reset EP, a six-track EP filled with upbeat fun alternative hip-hop with real interesting instrumentals. Plus in "Code Words" he gets Jhameel on the hook, maybe the best song on the project. Stream and DOWNLOAD Reset EP below. Watch the video to [...]
Ghost Beach's latest project, Modern Tongues EP, came out in late October a couple days before Halloween and it's a must-buy project! From the first song, which is their hit, "Miracle", to the last song, it's catchy electro indie pop/rock that is just fun. Stream and buy Modern Tongues. Tweet
(Pictured Above; Ghost Beach) Last Thursday, I was blessed to see a great show at the Echoplex in Silverlake. Goldroom, Carousel and Ghost Beach absolutely rocked a packed house full of energetic hipsters. All three have a style each unique in it's own way. Originally apart of synth pop trio NightWaves, Goldroom of Los Angeles [...]
Sometimes greatness is subtle; sometimes it reveals itself most brilliantly through its simplicity. Sitting with a cup of coffee (or some good whiskey) and watching the rain fall outside is coupled perfectly by the music of Kris Orlowski, a Seattelite who is slowly but surely turning heads and making himself known; and it's no doubt why with [...]
From "Head to Toe" to "Dry Hands" you will not find me pressing pause while listening to WRITER's new LP Brotherface. Hailing from Brooklyn, brothers James and Andy Ralph have a sort of fuzzy, psychedelic sound that is much more than your average two-guys-standing-on-stage-wit h-guitars. They are a unique combination of ghetto-tech meets garage-rock with remnants of Young Buffalo [...]
New FREE download from house duo Solidisco, one of my favorite up-and-coming DJ duos in the EDM game. "Turn Around" has this retro disco-house feel that is a funk-filled reworking of the George Benson classic. A nu-disco vibe drives the track to a new place as "Turn Around" just makes you feel good and want to dance or [...]
I find myself to be a sucker for a British accent and this time, its coming from the 19 year old voice of Syron. Combining an accent and soulful vocals is a recipe for success, which is clearly evident on "Breaking." "Breaking" is set to drop soon on the rising London label, Black Butter Records. [...]
While Py is slowly starting to gain some popularity in her native UK, she is relatively unknown in the United States. This is a shame though, as her talents and potential are both very high. Take "Lungs" for example. She gets a beautiful beat courtesy of George Fitzgerald and absolutely kills it with her sexy [...]
Krisp is a 4-piece indie/dance/chillwave/dance rock band from Miami. @FreedzyBaby sent me their stuff after seeing them open for Reptar recently. I listened to all their soundcloud stuff and I got to say, I'm impressed with the fun upbeat catchy electronic rock vibes. Stream and download Krisp's 4-track EP below. If you like what you [...]
Following their much talked about showcases at CMJ this past week in New York, Skipping Girl Vinegar's critically acclaimed debut US album 'Keep Calm Carry the Monkey' is released digitally today! This is SGV's sophomore album and was written across two continents and recorded on the Victorian coasts. Full of dreamy soundscapes, haunting melodies of [...]
Rhyal Knight and Siler Thomas Head come together on this collaboration that almost guarantees a second listen at the very least. While the vocals are just as enticing, it's really the use of the guitar that will sweep you off your feet. "Whisper" can be found off their upcoming EP, Good Vibes, which comes out soon. [...]
Louisville indie electro-pop band The Pass has released a video for the upcoming single on Melt, their 2nd LP which comes out November 6. "Without Warning" has an upbeat electro-pop/rock sound that is upbeat indie dance fun. Watch the video to "Without Warning" below. Tweet
So MiMoSA has released a new free song that has trap written all over it. At first I really hated trap music but after listening to it enough, I guess you just realize that it's just DJs making fun of the horrible, dull lyrics and simple beats that mainstream hip-hop/rap radio stations are playing today. It seems [...]
Thomas Calder aka The Trouble With Templeton swept Filter Magazine's Culture Collide away last weekend. Hailing from Australia, Thomas captivated the assorted onlookers, leaving a long-lasting impression in Los Angeles. This week, The Trouble With Templeton is traveling to New York for the esteemed CMJ Music Marathon. Before you race there to catch a glimpse [...]

I got there right when Swedeish DJ and Electropop duo Icona Pop [...]
Ghost Beach has a new tropical indie pop/rock song called "Tear Us Apart". I really dig the song and can't wait to hear this song get play all over mainstream radio within the next year or two. Listen and DOWNLOAD "Tear Us Apart". Upcoming show details for Ghost Beach below. Tuesday, October 16th - Santos [...]
Abbott Kinney Festival is an annual street fest in the Venice Beach area filled with hippies and young socialites. It was my first year going and after getting to see my favorite up-and-coming band out of Boston perform, Carousel, I walked up and down the closed off Abbott Kinney Boulevard and saw tons of herbal [...]
Earlier this week, Portland based Adventure Gallery rocked the night at the renowned, The Central Social Aid and Pleasure Club in Santa Monica. They have an 802s rock/pop feel mixed with a modern day electro pop sound. Perfect for the people with 802s nostalgia looking for a new and fresh sound. This group is small [...]
