[Indie - Rock] California Wives - Purple

California Wives (this is a male group) are about to release their debut album 'Art History' in September.  The song 'Purple' has been released to wet our appetites. It contains clever hooks, melodies and phrases in just over two minutes. The lyrics are poppy and the keys adds an underlying texture to the track, making for a remarkably well-constructed indie - rock number.

[Indie - Rock] Loon Lake - Fantastica

Bringing the music back to Australia, Loon Lake have just finished releasing their new EP '33' (free download!). 'Cherry Lips' of course being one of the standout tracks but 'Fantastica' deserves a mention as well. The guitar work in every Loon Lake song is something to be admired and yet again this song showcases this, it hits all the right notes for me.

[Alternative] Seastroke - April

What makes a  band famous is not flashy clothes or a 'tough guy attitude'; it is talent and will to succeed. Seastroke consists of 3 self taught musicians that have worked hard to establish themselves. The use of violin in their songs adds a nice touch to the overall quality of the songs, these guys might be onto something here. These boys have got talent, let's see where it will take them.

[Electro - Pop] Ellie Goulding - Anything Could Happen

I honestly don't have words for this song, it's just everything you would want from a song - uplifting, inspiring and sincere. Ellie Goulding is no stranger to The Vinyl Wall and it's no surprise as she constantly delivers. She's an underrated artist who has inspired many of her fans, just check out the video for this song where Ellie invited her fans to submit in photo lyrics for the song from Instagram producing a beautiful clip.

[Alternative] Night Panther - Fever

Interesting name, interesting artwork, i'm not sure what to make of it, but funnily enough it represents Night Panthers style of music. Playful, cheery and quite bouncy, these guys like to describe their genre of music as 'hot pop' whatever that may be, fueled by sex, synths and Phil Collins oddly enough. Their other song Snudge was released a while back so check that one out as well.

[Synth - Pop] Capital Cities - Nothing Compares 2 U

Title sound familiar? Well if does it's because this is a cover of an absolute classic, let me assure you that once the verse hits you will recognise it. Our old friend Capital Cities oh how i knew that this would be a match made in heaven for you. You know how much I love these guys and boy did they deliver with this cover, giving it a modern twist with their trademark synths and powerful vocals. Oh Capital Cities, nothing compares to you!
