The band has released 4 singles this year (so far) and more to come I’m sure. They started out as a straightforward punk rock type band but have branched out and are exploring a variety of sounds on their latest songs. This is a newer band and one with a lot to prove. “Half Life Carbon Fourteen” is available now. All I know is that I enjoy this and I think you will too.
#Indi mudic how to
I know that makes absolutely no sense and is completely fictional but I’m really at a loss for words on how to describe their most recent EP. The group themselves though swallow genres like some massive experimental indie blackhole and then through a new dimension, the become this other worldly creation. Imagine taking Say Anything, Bayside, Saves The Day, and The Juliana Theory then mixing it with a little Smashing Pumpkins, Arcade Fire, Tigers Jaw, Neon Trees, and The National, then you might have some sort of a description to latch on to. This husband/wife duo known as GR8FRT plays an indie meets mid 00’s emo-pop like sound. GR8FRT is a chilling reminder never to overlook a really talented independent artist. Benjamin Daniel who was another chart member last year, helps him out on the song “West Lawrenceville” with a great BGV delivery. I can’t really compare him to anyone else because he does things his own way and is paving a path all his own. On the latest songs, he further explores mature themes and builds upon past experiences by delivering passionate, somber, and catchy songs, bordering more on the ambient side of things. Har Adonai is Hebrew for “Mountain of the Lord”.Īllen Odell is an insanely talented, folk leaning, singer songwriter with real heart and honesty through the lyrics he writes. He released his most recent album, “Now is Golden”, back in 2020 and it quite simply is a sonic masterpiece as I have stated before. It’s a unique collection of tunes and it is unlike most popular music heard today. He ran Men of Israel Records back in the day when I was running the IVM webstore back at the beginning. Adam is an indie artist residing in Israel and has been creating fun and challenging music for many years. If you dig the sounds of John Mark McMillan, Eddie Vedder, Damien Jurado, Sufjan Stevens, and The Welcome Wagon, then you’ll love this.Īdam Lee Rosenfeld is Har Adonai and this is his current music project. Like a wandering folk troubadour with a heavy emphasis on creating challenging and thought provoking music that one could deem as “Worship”. The band just dropped their debut song titled “This Light” and as expected, it absolutely rules.įor me Andy’s music was a complete surprise. Seeing how much myself and others loved that Mainsail pop-punk sound, you know you’re in for something absolutely magical with “Summer Years”. Nick Lanari (Lead Vocals) remains (amongst a couple others). It’s actually a new beginning because most of the former members have now moved on. Summer Years is the new band name for Mainsail. How cool is that?Īnother “new” band on the list with classic ties and a sound I’m will be much better than most of the stuff you’re listening to.
#Indi mudic plus
Plus Mic Cox formerly of ZAO fame is laying down some bass on this debut. I know without a doubt this is going to be solid stuff so stay tuned. With that said, you know that Wiley Willis of 2Minute Minor and October Bird of Death fame, is going to bring it in this new straight edge hardcore band. They did release a little behind the scenes demo action this past memorial day weekend. Why? Well first of all this band has not released any recorded music just yet. So this is an oddity of sorts for inclusion on this very list. Follow up this post by listing some of your favorites in the comments below. This isn’t a definitive list and is simply just some of MY current faves and recommendations. Please check your cynical, snobby, self focused, social influencing opinions at the door.
