[VIDEO PREMIERE] Brøthers- We Are Pushing On

When I originally found Brøthers debut single, “We Are Pushing On”, I was in a bit of a dark place. Exhausted by surviving two years of extensive chemo for lymphoma, I’d made it out alive but had been lingering for almost a year in a place of emotional stagnation. Maybe it was how hard I had [...]

Minneapolis producer/DJ Gigamesh has taken it upon himself to invigorate Crystal Fighters‘ latest single “You & I” with an indie-disco makeover that is pumped full of good vibes perfect for the wave of warm weather.

Spring seems to be in full fling in Chicago as the temperatures have steadily risen from the deep freeze just weeks ago. As my old band director used to say, “It’s a great day to be alive.” LA based Capital Cities seems to feel the same way as they have reworked the classic Bee Gees‘ [...]

Dubbed “Artist To Watch” in 2013 by MTV & Billboard, Australia’s Gold Fields have hit our radar once again with their upbeat indie pop-rock single “You’re Still Gone.” A tune that at first listen glistens with all the tasty guitar riffs and a soaring hook that is perfect for spring. Yet the song is tinged [...]

Good pals Marina & The Diamonds and Charli XCX have joined forces to premiere their much anticipated collaboration “Just Desserts” in support of their upcoming North American tour kicking off May 6th in San Francisco. The synth pop sounds in “Just Desserts” tend toward the darker palettes as the girl power duo croon about the [...]

[INDIE/POP] Steel Train – “You Are Dangerous” (RAC Mix)

There really isn’t much to say about RAC that hasn’t been said on this site. Remix after remix, André Allen Anjos, the brain behind RAC, manages to inject his tracks with a wonderful sense of carefree nonchalance. RAC’s newest remix, an upbeat take on Steel Train‘s “You Are Dangerous”, follows suit, and it’s as if [...]
