Asia – “Cold Sweat” If a voice could ever capture a feeling, it is that of young songwriter Asia. The Brussels artist crafts beautiful tracks with incredibly personal lyrics while supporting a more minimal style sonically. Her recent releases have been championed by …

So you’re saying you like indie folk? Get some here.
Plasi – “Run”-The energy of this track is palpable. I like the hand claps (because, duh!), but the overall acoustic style mixed with a good lead vocal is really something to behold. The message to “run for your dreams” seems so utterly impossible …
Vibe out with these indie pop tunes
Hauskey – “Slow”-This track slays. There I said it. The groove hits really well. I don’t know how the artist was able to write a lyric that fits the groove so perfectly, but this is one of my favorite hooks I’ve heard in …
Featured Single: A mystical, hippie folk song from Gone Gone Beyond – “Little Moon”
This is a captivating song with layers of complexity that I was not expecting on first listen. It’s got some unique harmonies, a great string part, and then this hit-out-of-nowhere bass part. It’s both grounded and surrealist. It’s mystical, transcendent, but feels like …
Grab your acoustic guitar and play along with these gems
Edward Doyle – “Yesterday” (Beatles cover)-When Doyle contacted me about this song, he said he didn’t think we’d cover it because it’s a cover. Well, I have to say that I don’t TYPICALLY feature covers, but this is not typical by any stretch. …
Jam out to this pair of new rock tracks
Rooskin – “Radio slave”-This is the indie rockiest anthem ever written – “you’re nobody’s radio slave.” I don’t know the context for the lyrics, but I can guess. I dig the smooth lyrical and guitar style here. It definitely gets me jamming in …
Some chill rock to try out at your next barbecue
The weather is breaking here in northeast Ohio and we’re gonna need some tunes that won’t offend the neighborhood when we crank them. We can only listen to “Sweet Caroline” so many times. So here are a few new tunes that will make …
Introducing: Fern Maddie, roots and Americana
Fern Maddie – “Low and lonesome”-Years ago, when my friend and I started this website it was for one purpose; we wanted to tell other people about remarkable music. Fern Maddie makes the kind of spine-tingling, salt-of-the-earth, magic-in-string-vibration music that will stop you …
Once you indie pop you can’t stop, you can’t stop
Surf Rock is Dead – “Immaculate”-The glowing energy of this track almost defies genre, but then I look up the definition of indie pop in the Official Guide of Genres (which of course CANNOT even exist), and realize that this track is perfect. …
Featured Single: Cat Pierce – “The Beginning of the End”
I really want to just type out the lyrics of this song and have us all sit around for a conversation about it. Tackling hard subjects like narcissism and weapons of mass destruction, it’s clear that Pierce is willing to take on more …
