Hey, blogspot readers - SouthSide's up to her ears with new music ...locally and nationally as well as internationally with more arriving into her inbox every single day! There's something for everyone to enjoy this spring / summer of 2015.
She highly recommends checking out the following artists/bands...
“Poison the Well” – single
Movement I
Textures of Lions
Local band rockin’ the stage with their brand of
hard-hitting, guitar experimental/progressive rock, blogspot readers to which
had this reviewer liking its gritty sound (especially during track 1 – “The
Golden Age”) …plenty of wicked riffs to keep the head banging to the intense
yet raw rhythms …basically, this band lets its music do most of the talking for
them in between lyrics (sung by front man Chris Pacific) …SouthSide recommends
listening to “Pyramid Sky” for that dreamy electric pop feel as well as the
featured single “Poison the Well”.
“Beneath the Sun” (ft Elisa Coia) – single
Creature In The Woods
Creature In The Woods
Check out this single by Brooklyn, NY producer (name
withheld) who combines an interesting music flavor of psychedelic, dance, hip
hop, downtempo and electronic with guest vocalists in this EP release. What
SouthSide enjoyed about this artist retains a rhythmic floetry that’s not heavy
relied upon the bass, blogspot readers. Sometimes, the tracks contain a light
and airy feel as heard in the featured single “Beneath the Sun”…or take a
dreamy cosmic trip around the universe in “In My Spaceship” (ft Elisa Coia and
Stan Ipcus on vocals) …truly loved the bounce and rhythmic style …perfect for a
club/dance scene.
“Trial and Error” – single
Silhouette
From the land of down under, comes this recent EP release by Calais in which had SouthSide
and test audience rockin’ to the band’s rock alternative sound …the reviewer
enjoyed the vibrant guitar rhythms while the teen liked the danceable beat
…says it’s what kids today like listening to especially during Calais’ featured
single “Trial and Error”.
“White Dress” (ft Deutsch Duke)
From the Aussie duo, Nick and Stu, Set Mo
“Frighteners” – video single
Situations
Check out this heavy metal from McAllen, TX that’s rockin’
YouTube with their latest singe – “Frighteners”, blogspot readers …the video has
all of the right amount of creepiness as well as head banging, raw screamo rock
to smack your face with …this reviewer suggests turning up the volume on the
highest setting just to feel every ounce of intensity from front man Chris’
vocals and guitars.
“Legend” – single
One
Parlement
From Ale Maria, Spain, it’s Anglo-Spanish rock that has this
raw edgy yet gritty music appeal and feel that had this reviewer’s head banging
to the band’s featured track – “Legend” …she was totally digging the retro
sound …so fast and furious and sometimes quite dirty – that’s how she likes her
rock-n-roll, blogspot readers.
“Liquidator” –single
Uptight
The Dead Heavys
This reviewer is no stranger to rock music from the Emerald
Isle however she was blown away (again) by what’s rockin’ across the pond by
The Dead Heavys. Their latest single “Liquidator” immediately had SouthSide
addicted to its psycho rock pop sound …featuring Aisling Browne of Cut Once (as
guest vocalist – adding some intense yet soulful tone to this song), this
single features plenty of excitable energy that builds up to “in your face”
blast of music and vocals to get you groovin’ to the rhythms …now, she’s ready
to hear the rest of the album.
Electric Brain
Activity
Maniac du Jour
Lots of brain activity coming from this Italian band that
includes a healthy dosage of heartfelt ballads and head banging grit of
rock-n-roll, blogspot readers. SouthSide had a fun time rockin’ her ears to the
electric soundwave vibin’ throughout this album due Maniac’s use of various
genres represented. She recommends checking out the acoustic ballad “Red
Butterfly” before getting smacked in the ears with tons of anger and guitar
grit of “My Personal War” …this is where front man Paride makes you feel the
frustration within his raspy vocals. She also recommends riding the electric
dreamwave with Maniac in “Desert River
“On The Right Side” – single
By The Ocean By The
Sea
Another band from the Emerald Isle rockin’ the local
airwaves with their brand of alternative / cosmic rock sound. Buffalo Sunn had
this reviewer (as well as the test audience) instantly grooving to the rhythmic
vibe in which the featured single garnered a HUGE “thumbs up” from the teen
…it’s something she’s currently into with other notable bands like Artic
Monkeys, Cage The Elephant, Foster The People. SouthSide is looking forward to
hearing the rest of the album.
Remission
New Politicians
Post-punk / alternative fans, SouthSide has found the
“perfect” band for you! She suggests checking out New Politicians (from NJ) and
their latest album– Remission just released last week. Seven tracks to which
this reviewer found herself immediately submersed into the dark, moodiness
(featuring plenty of electric post-punk rock) heard in featured songs like “Cut
A Hole” and “Killer on the Mend”. Taking their cue and sound from the legendary
post-punk band, The March Violets, blogspot readers, shouldn’t expect these
guys to imitate and/or re-create …nope – they have elevate it their own style
and electric soundwave. Though it was SO hard to choose which to spotlight, she
was instantly hooked with “Revelator” and the dark poetry of “Images” …even
“The Idealist” left her thinking but wanting more.
Until next time, support your local scene,
SouthSide
