Here I talk about new music, very old music, the music industry and what's going in the world of rock and roll in general. We're doing this together and I love it.
Dead Pony is redefining the intersection of heavy guitar riffs and synth-driven melody. Their new single Eat My Dust utilizes dropped-B tuning and sophisticated ostinatos to create a sound that's as technical as it is raw. While many bands fail to bridge the gap between 80s technology and modern rock, this Glasgow outfit has found the secret sauce.
Mark Daly is shattering the 'viral-first' industry mold with a sound that prioritizes raw vocal grit over TikTok trends. From daring melodic choices starting on the ninth to a meta-commentary on record label manipulation, his new track 'In The Dark' proves that authentic indie rock still has a pulse. See why this rising talent is the secret weapon on The Darkness's latest tour rotation.
Most modern tracks are snapped to a grid and scrubbed of any human error, but The Royston Club is throwing out the rulebook. In a world of over-produced indie, they’ve managed to capture a raw, 'unfiltered' energy that feels dangerously close to a live front-row experience. Is this the end of the autotune era for emerging talent?
