Dreamgrl Steps Into A New Era of Pop With Heavy Sin

For me, pop music has been done a million times before and there’s nothing new under the sun. Then comes along new artists that shatter my perception, and this is another release that has done that to me. Put your preconceived notions aside and listen to this incredible record by Dreamgrl. The EP release is called “Heavy Sin” and it’s my favorite since Kavinsky put out “Outrun” last year. Friends and readers will remember how much I talked about “Outrun” last year, and this is definitely my favorite pop record so far this year.

This independent release goes through various stages of sound, blending together smooth transitions, electronic music and vocals that are very interesting, to say the least. At times you feel like you’re playing a video game, and at others you feel that you’re flowing through a trip of sorts. This dreamy collaborative art piece puts together so many layers that you will definitely find yourself wondering what’s going on. From the intro through “Dawn of the Internet” to “Heavy Sin” you get a feel for this interesting collaborative effort that is far too good to be missed.

This mix of songs from Dreamgrl is definitely a great and influential piece of pop music. It’s fascinating, it’s dreamy, it’s pop, and it features a lot of nuances that are relevant to those that are into synth and electronic music as a whole. As I said, not since Kavinsky’s release have I found something so interesting in this genre. Dreamgrl delivers on this EP and you owe it to yourself to listen to it.

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

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

Cikatris Crushes Through Keytar Punk

Image
The neighbor downstairs likes to blast a lot of trendy, terrible music. I ask her once a week to turn it down, and it makes me feel way older than I am. Today, I won. I got to blast Cikatris as loud as humanly possible, shaking my cat’s sleeping box (she sleeps under my desk) and vibrating through the floor with a sub-woofer that made my neighbor ask me to turn down the music. I said no, and slammed the door in her face. That’s what she gets right?!? I felt bad. But the point of this story is simple, this band rocks hard and they take no prisoners with their music. The band has a way of mixing noise, punk, and pop sensibilities to create a serious garage punk style that you are not going to find with many bands. As you listen to their latest double 7” record, you are completely enthralled with the silky smooth vocals and frenetic pacing of the guitar, drums, and bass. Oh, let’s not forget the keytar which is used prominently here. The record pushes through a lot of great nose and fuz
