The Electrets Dazzle With 2 New Pop Punk Anthems For You To Enjoy

I wrote about The Electrets back in September of last year here. They are one of my personal favorite Los Angeles based rockers, and it was a delight to learn that they are back at it with new music. This time around they have a new song and a b-side for your to sink your proverbial teeth into. Up front the song “Falling Awake” has a pop punk element that is catchy as all hell. You’re going to be singing along in no time, as I was definitely singing through the house. It’s an easy flowing song that features clear vocals, punk edge, and keyboards that balance everything out quite well. It’s like a mix of The Huntington’s “Plastic Surgery” and The Muffs grungy guitar work, with a clean finish. Fans of those bands know what I’m talking about, as this track really works well.

On the track “Has Been”, The Electrets really put on the rock and roll dazzle that they have. Rocking guitar blasts with emphatic vocals that usher Tilt or The Red Aunts. It’s a power song that will have you throwing a few fists and dancing around your living room. It’s a strong punk rock song that doesn’t lose its edge throughout. This may very well be one of the heaviest tracks I’ve heard come through the punk scene in a while. The distortion heavy track leads through subtle changes and really hits heavy. This is a track you cannot miss out on. The song writing that the band puts on with these two tracks lays down a dichotomy of emotion and skill that you have to admire.

Enough of my rambling, The Electrets are a band you have to see live, and have to listen to right now. Catch them right now before they get picked up by a major as they are definitely putting on a strong showing with these 2 tracks.

10K Drops A Killer Track With Fresh White Tees

10K comes out swinging with the latest catchy hip hop song you’re going to absolutely love. I’ve heard a lot of rap and hip hop tracks this year already, but a lot of it is just boring. The rhymes are just repetition, or the words just get slurred across some mediocre beats. But this, this is pretty cool, 10K drops a story rhyme that is all out catchy, and fun. 10K goes across several different thoughts in just 2 minutes and 58 seconds of music, never letting up and continually processing consciousness with rhyming ability. You’ll get hit hard up front, and by the first chorus, you’re going to be singing along. This is the type of song that really showcases a good ear for beats, rhyme schematics, and professional flow. 10K is no slacker here, he throws down as many adjectives and ideas as he can without losing the audience. Often time’s when rappers have a lot to say, they speed it up and try too hard to spit out as many sentences as possible, but not here. Here it’s a bit laid...

2KX Create A Lavish Musical Framework Beyond Comparison

Image
I know it’s my job to compare musical acts and try to paint a picture as to what they are doing so that you can go and buy the record and check them out, but every now and again artists are beyond just one genre and above any simple terminology. It’s paying disservice for me to call the latest release from 2KX anything other than a masterpiece. Fronted by Lisa LaRue, this is a release of progressive rock and is like nothing I’ve heard in a long time. Yes, there are other prog rock bands out there, but this release is a cataclysmic exemplification of art, and not just music. With the release of “Sussuration”, you get elements of every type of musical genre, but it’s like a work of art, seamless in the integral elements that make this worth picking up. I was floored by the pieces, and really found myself in awe at the precision at which every element comes together. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and once you hear the record, you understand the pieces fit to make sure that this makes...

The Bloody Jug Band Launches A Contender For Best Record of 2015 With Rope Burn

Image
Best Album Art of 2015! As far as creative bands are concerned, The Bloody Jug Band just hit my radar with full force. This type of alternative rock music is one of the reasons why I love music in the first place. With their release of “Rope Burn”, they truly put down a record that is going to be on my top 10 records of 2015. It starts off a bit slow with “Volfkiller”, then it spirals out of control with some amazing elements. Mixing strong guitar driven melodies, interesting narratives in the lyrics, and strong vocals, this is a record that opens up like a horror movie and comes through with grindhouse precision, only a bit more polished. There’s a “country” vibe that you get from some of the tracks, but it seems to be more in the way the lyrics are delivered. Strong and story filled, you are going to want to close your eyes and pay attention to the words. There’s a lot going on here, a story that is very easy to follow with each hand. A strong blues and country mix with strong ...
