Before you hear this track for the first time, you read the title and you know this is going to be something epic! Then the track starts with an almost cinematic crescendo, with harps, horns & strings all building anticipation and in the last second of the intro you have no idea what’s about to hit you.
It’s the icing on the cake, it’s the cherry on top, the very highlight of summer, yes the summer fling is an old classic that never gets old, and I’m glad Nina has captured this vibe in her latest effort “ Summer Fling “.
Ahh yessss ! Punk rock and sticky, beer-soaked carpet, a unique smell that’s hard to forget.
There’s a song for every moment of your day, and if you’ve just woken up and poured your first coffee, let Courtney Barnett ease you into your day, with her latest effort, Rae Street.
Some say its Neo Soul, some say it’s retro. Either way Curtis never lets anyone down.
One person, an acoustic guitar and a capo. This is quintessential folk/Americana at its best.
The sun’s as hot as can be in early July, and Tyler Shaw does nothing to help with the heat. In fact, he decided to release a burning hot single, Sex on the Beach, which will groove you into the rest of summer.
It’s time to break out your vintage AKAI drum machine, and bring that retro sound to the new generation.
Take two parts punk, one part rock and a dash of pop, mix well in a test tube and out comes a high octane cracker of a song called “Contact High”!
Shuffle over. Inhaler is here with their latest effort “Totally”.
Imagine Dragons are a hit machine! The challenge at this stage of the bands journey is to try and do something different, yet not alienate their fans in the process.
Kojaque, otherwise known as Kevin Smith, is the latest in a long line of musical talent coming out of Dublin. On his debut album, the young rapper specialises in carving out sharply observed slices of life in the Irish capital, and in particular the experiences of the city’s young people, ravaged by years of political, economic and social change that have priced many out of finding their own home. Indeed, Kojaque wrote the album while living at home with his mum.
Best known as the lead vocalist of Australian pop rock outfit 5 Seconds Of Summer, Luke Hemmings has stepped away from the band to launch his solo career, beginning with the release this week of his new single Starting Line, produced by Sammy Witte.
