Brennan Salisbury - Boy Folk, Indie, Acoustic Perth, Australia Overall Impression: Brennan Salisbury is an artist that finds his music and creativity through teaching, he explores his craft through storytelling and wants to use his music to connect, teach and inspire others through it. Music is both his tool and his craft for his expression and the gift he gives to the world. His latest release is the single “Boy”. A mix of acoustic folk with an emo edge, this track is beautifully done and was designed to be listened to like a private performance. The song explores whether mainstream education suits all children from pre-primary age and is sung and explored through a teacher’s perspective. A teacher by trade, Salisbury’s musical and vocal chops are not too shabby. Strongest Point(s): The combination of Salisbury’s vocals, the melody, and the instrumental performance makes for a full-bodied and well-constructed piece. A piece that is both musically pleasing...

Protea - BurnYouDeep Alternative/Alt. Rock, Pop, Indie Michigan, United States Overall Impression: "BurnYouDeep" is the impressive debut release from the Michigan-based trio, Protea. This alternative pop/rock track features vocalist Kelly Staten's angelic vocals, as she soars atop drummer Jonny Torgna's steady, vibrant groove and guitarist Josh Mitchell's dynamic and compelling playing. Staten and Mitchell's voices mesh brilliantly in the choruses, with the pair exchanging poignant lines in the bridge. Its karmic lyrical themes and deeply resonating melodic hooks make Protea's "BurnYouDeep" an easy recommendation for alternative and indie rock audiences, particularly those who can appreciate the high levels of musicianship and fine attention to songwriting.

BloodHut - Mind & Body Alternative/Alt. Rock, Indie, Psychedelic California, United States Overall Impression: With a strikingly bold sense of creativity running through its veins and a compelling theme at its heart, BloodHut's engrossing "Mind & Body" serves as a rather poignant comment on one's anxieties and how the power of perseverance and self-determination can be utilized to overcome those fears. I've always felt that knowing the true inspiration behind a song allows the listener to better connect with its themes, and it's clear to hear that the distinctly expressive ideas that are found within "Mind & Body" have been specifically crafted in order to best represent the underlying emotions that power the track. Whether it'd be the feelings of uncertainty that surround the future or the simple fear of the unknown that we all find ourselves experiencing at certain points in our lives, "Mind & Body...

Ruiz! UK - One Rule Alternative/Alt. Rock, Iberian Psych, Indie Sheffield, United Kingdom Overall Impression: Throwing up a middle finger to the man, Ruiz! is taking a stand with the release of One Rule. This new Alternative Rock tune features a spiraling wash of synths upheld by chugging guitars and a twisting bass line. The vocals seem to appear out of thin air with a taunting, critical tone. They are like a voice in your head that is pulling you in several directions at once. Lyrically, One Rule points out the hypocrisy, narcissism, and corruption of governmental leaders. They create rules they themselves do not follow, and continually rip the life out of humanity. The song's message is striking, and does not hold back. Mirroring the corruption described in the lyrics, a destructive guitar solo dismantles the middle of the tune. It is one of those solos so reminiscent of 90's Alternative Rock and Grunge, it throws the listener back a couple of decades....

Brenton Crozier - Labs Alternative/Alt. Rock, Electronic, Indie Florida, United States Overall Impression: Dripping with both style and a profound sense of creative flair, Brenton Crozier's genre-bending electronica extravaganza "Labs" is a fantastically epic-in-scope piece of indie-infused electronica that combines strong alternative leanings with clearly distinct visionary concepts. With its excellent use of retro-inspired synth elements and prog-like textural explorations, "Labs" invites listeners into its multicolored creative world of intriguing melodic forays and sonic exuberance, serving as an exciting musical expedition that is an absolute joy to get lost in. Strongest Point(s): The sheer amount of diverse sounds on offer is superb. The timbral and tonal variation on display is abundant and ensures listeners have plenty to sink their teeth into. All these wonderfully distinct sounds have been both brilliantly arranged and layere...

Those Dirty Lines - Dirty Alternative/Alt. Rock, Indie, Dance, Punk Canada Overall Impression: Chock full of gloriously dirty-sounding synths, plenty of melodic sass, and an undeniably cheeky sense of character, "Dirty" is an unapologetically straight-to-the-point alternative rocker that revels in its definite sense of musical identity and brilliantly brash demeanor. Those Dirty Lines have served up a sonically exciting tune that combines flamboyant performances with a ton of personality, resulting in a track that has a definite sense of swagger that listeners will find both refreshing and quite simply fun. Strongest Point(s): With its punk-like attitude, gritty alternative rock elements, and electro synth-infused flourishes, "Dirty" is a marvelously eclectic mix of styles. Whilst the growly nature of the bass and gritty synth sounds conjure up both elements of alternative and industrial styles, the hard-hitting drums and punk-infused vo...

Rhoten - The Space That Binds Remastered Rock, Alternative, Indie California, United States Overall Impression: "The Space That Binds" is a heady, cerebral new release from California-based indie rock artist, Jon Rhoten. This track features a neo-psychedlic, post-rock sound that Rhoten carefully cultivates using phased out electric guitars, hypnotic drums and delicate acoustic instruments to highlight his intimate vocals and introspective, existential lyrics. Rhoten also emphasizes creative sound design on "The Space That Binds", employing interesting foley and effects to further enhance this track's psychedelic nature. With a run time at just over seven minutes, listeners can't help but feel like they're along for the ride, gently transported to another realm of consciousness where time and space are seemingly irrelevant concepts. Psychedelic and art rock fans will find a lot to like here, and shouldn't hesitate to explore ...

Ashley Mariee - Unravel Pop, Indie, Singer Songwriter Nevada, United States Overall Impression: “Unravel” is the latest release from Ashley Marie, a contemporary, sultry, seductive mix of pop, R&B, and Blues an artist with wide appeal from fans of R&B and indie music to fans of teen pop. Whether listening to the song on a night "in" or having fun dancing the night away on a night out. With this romantic and sexy ballad, Ashey Mariee has bared her soul and opened up her heart and emotions, which in turn makes her listeners want to do the same. Vocally, her long notes and vocals linger with longing and romance and exude sexiness. A melodic change mid-song, with only slight variation, keeps the tone and timbre of the song consistent. Strongest Point(s): The bass drums and electronic beats make this song a percussion-driven track, with syncopated drum beats that weave in and out and as she drops ominous lines that linger long after their arri...
