Everything from the relatable lyrics to the sing-along chorus is perfect for a venue full of people jumping and singing along with the band. It’s definitely got a college rock vibe to it that’s sure to win over a lot of energetic, enthusiastic fans. Colorado Straightedge have an infectious, fun pop rock sound! Give them a shot!
Fairhazel – “Save the planet”
-Showing that rock music can take on a wide range of forms, Fairhazel bring an intensity that we really appreciate. It’s a dash alt rock but has a good driving rhythm to it. If you listen closely, you’ll hear a fun walking bassline at the heart of the sound; it’s bluesy and satisfying. The whole track pops with an endearing energy and a condemning message. It’s definitely worth a few listens to try to catch the lyrical message about media brainwash. Enjoy the blues energy a message worth ruminating on for a bit.
Paul Cook and the Chronicles – “Get along”
-If you’ve followed my music curation for any length of time, it’ll be easy to hear what I love about this song. The chord progression, melody, and lead vocal are all rewarding but the blending on the chorus works exceptionally well. It’s got a feel good energy to it, pulling the listener in from start to finish. There’s no real easy comparison for similar bands, but it does feel a bit like an amalgamation of 70s rock all blended into one glorious, enjoyable sound.
