Furry Squirrel - Walking Contradiction
Rock
CA, US
Overall Impression: Rock band Furry Squirrel struts their stuff with the release of Walking Contradiction. A light-hearted stomp, this Rock tune takes clear inspiration from the early 90's and keeps that spirit alive. It kicks off with an enticing drum and bass groove before the guitars and harmonica join in for a wildly good jam. No moment is wasted in sparking that open-air festival nostalgia that so many listeners long for. The lyrics describe a fella who, by the lamest accounts, is the manifestation of classic contradictions. While the digs are simple, these lyrics are given a terrifically catchy melody that makes the chorus an instant ear worm. As the tune carries on, guitar solos rip through the air with an unbridled quality. They add to the already care-free yet controlled characteristics of the song that make Walking Contradiction by Furry Squirrel such a fun and solid listen.

 Strongest Point(s): The atmosphere this song creates and the mood it chooses are top notch. It is upbeat, fun, and does not take anything too seriously. This tune is perfect for a festival, or to sing along with on the radio. With just one listen, you feel better and are reminded of the joy Rock music has to offer.

 Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Rock, Pop Rock, and 90's Alternative Rock will dig Furry Squirrel's new song Walking Contradiction.

 Artist target suggestions: Blues Traveler, R.E.M., The Smiths, The Smashing Pumpkins, Counting Crows, Barenaked Ladies, Third Eye Blind, Green Day, Gin Blossoms, Dave Matthews Band, Fastball, Pearl Jam, Beck, Spin Doctors, Bowling For Soup

SONG REVIEW 🎵📝 Temptresssun - Endless Talks (Debate)

Temptresssun - Endless Talks (Debate) Alternative/Alt. Rock, Indie rock/Folk, Classical Cairo, Egypt Overall Impression: Thoroughly absorbing and deeply atmospheric from start to start, Temptresssun's ambient post-rock/alternative instrumental "Endless Talks (Debate)" is a forever evolving piece of songwriting that makes superb use of its delay-drenched guitar layers, reverb-engulfed synth pads, dreamlike sound design, and free-flowing melodic expeditions. "Endless Talks (Debate) feels very much like a journey, yet the destination is unknown, making for a deeply mysterious and somewhat ghostly musical landscape in which the listener must navigate. Temptresssun invites listeners to enter his dreamlike world of engrossing tonal layers and organic textures, and it's a world I'm happy to get lost in. Strongest Point(s): Compared to pieces of music with an identifiable vocal performance at its forefront, instrumental music is a wholly di...

Artist Spotlight ★ Righteous Hillbillies ★ Relix Magazine Grand Prize Winner!

Image
The band Righteous Hillbillies formed in 2007. The lineup of Righteous Hillbillies consists of Brent James, a singer and songwriter bringing together such seemingly disparate elements as hard rock, country, with rhythm and blues to form an unforgettable style. Also keeping the rhythm on guitar, James is a charismatic but commanding front man, steering the Southern Rock ship to conquer new territory at every concert. By his side is Nick Normando, a prodigy and lead guitarist who received his baptism in blood while growing up playing the blues. Righteous Hillbillies have now cut the leash, and Normando is free to run with the pack, bringing all his ferocious power and unpredictable virtuosity to the stage and studio. Jeff Bella pours the foundation on the bass, knowing when to inject color and character into the music, behind Bella is Barret Harvey – a thunderous powerhouse whose drumming ability is steady as a pulse, but equally dynamic. Trained in rock ‘n’ roll a...

Scott Nichols - Find The Mistletoe Country, Pop, Acoustic New Hampshire, United States Overall Impression: Boston-based Singer Songwriter Scott Nichols has something special with his new holiday tune Find The Mistletoe. Filled with seasonal memories and a fantastic groove, Find The Mistletoe touches on some classic holiday themes, but still manages to be completely unique and original. The song meanders through ideas and textures, but the charm exuding from Nichols keeps the listener's attention. His lyrics take snapshots of joyful holiday moments and memories and create a collage that is all too inviting. Although the tune starts strongly enough, Find The Mistletoe definitely grows into something greater. As the song progresses, the groove, backup vocals, and Nichols' soft singing wrap themselves around the listener and washes away all of their concerns. Overall, Find The Mistletoe is a fantastic new holiday tune that has a unique sound and is a strong m...
