Young Hunting | Hazel Words by Lee Adcock If you cringe at the prospect of a summer laden with sunny pop, Young Hunting may be your salvation this year. This five-piece dream team from Los Angeles is set to release their debut LP, Hazel , on Gold Robot Records – and while it may be steeped in California’s flower-power history, Young Hunting cast sepia shades over their lush sound by easing back the tempo and centering in on tragic [...]

Just Handshakes | Say It Words by Matt Yau If you think indie is beginning to lose its edge, we wouldn’t blame you; it’s certainly not like the halcyon days of the noughties. But that’s not to say bands haven’t been trying, Cults forged a delicate blend of 60s pop with modern touches while Summer Camp craft a lo-fi sound that pines for attention. But this four-piece from Leeds, Just Handshakes , is one of the best indie-pop bands in recent years. And what a debut album [...]

Changes to the calculations of granting Gold and Platinum awards by the Recording Industry Association of America come few and far in between. However, the RIAA have announced that they will now be adding on- demand streams toward its calculations on granting the highly reputable and distinguished award. The change was done to recognize the growing presence of technology's influence in music accessibility and to accurately calculate Gold and Platinum certifications. Since its inception in 1958, only five measures have been taken to change the calculations to certify the award; the last [...]

You might not know it yet but you (will) know Joe Janiak. Other than his vocal and co-write feature on Bondax's mega track "Gold," Janiak apparently has his own arsenal of pop tracks to complement those serious vocals chops. "Steel Toe Boots" 'fires at will' with a patient and well conducted arrangement of sparse guitar and piano work, atmospheric effects, beats... and that voice, seriously check out that voice! Get familiar with Joe Janiak and grab a free download of "Steel Toe Boots" below. Joe Janiak [...]

The great unknown always carries with it both fear and excitement. The trepidation is understandable, but that heart-racing thrill comes from somewhere else entirely. And it comes from a place we can never really be sure of; existing only in some, while others thrive off it. Die For You is the second track from espher and the undistinguished isolation is completely gripping. A new producer from Manchester, he's currently taking tentative steps, working on his craft while slowly unveiling his intriguing mastery. Die For You, the follow-up to You Are [...]
