[Synth - Rock] Adventure Galley - Addict

Adventure Galley is six guys from Portland, Oregon. All members are fairly young with the physical and musical appeals of alternative rock and roll and their music is compared to an amplified Arcade Fire or The Killers having a garage jam session with MGMT. "Addict" was originally featured on Adventure Galley's The Right Place To Be EP from 2010. The remastered "Addict" has a legendary charm along with the other two tracks. As you can imagine, electronically sonic rock jams are empowering and that is Adventure Galley.

[Indie - Pop] Polarsets - Just Don't Open Your Eyes Yet

Wooo Indie Pop overdose. Polarsets are Rob Howe, Mickey Smith and James Rudd, three lads from the land of Little Comets, glorious tropical weather and Alan Shearer— Newcastle, England. With fast-paced guitar, electronic accents and energetic vocals, their songs reminds me of a simpler, more cowbell-loving Two Door Cinema Club.

[Hip - Hop] Sol - Stage Dive

An absolute must listen and one of the chillest hip/hop song I have come across in a while. Well this track has got a great beat, then Sol coming in with a very on point flow and rhythm. Hearing real music like this is refreshing in the midst of so many rappers not offering much other then trying to be famous. This is off his upcoming EP which I can’t wait for. Enjoy!

[Indie - Pop] Swiss Lips - DANZ

I know two things about this band, for one they are from Manchester and secondly they will be very successful. As of now they have released 3 songs - 3 very good songs heavily influenced by the likes of Friendly Fires, Passion Pit and MGMT. Believe me it was extremely hard to post just one of their songs, i would have loved to post them all! This is music for people who have their happy switch permanently flicked on and this is further evidenced by their tune, Danz. SYNTH HAPPINESS.

[Indie - Pop] Winter Gloves - Dancing My Heart Out

Montreal indie rockers, Winter Gloves, recently announced that they’re going to be touring with New Zealand’s The Naked and Famous this summer. Winter Gloves’ latest release was a three-song EP entitled “Heart Out” released back in March. I’ve had “Dancing My Heart Out” on repeat for the past couple of days. I just can’t seem to get enough of this one song! If you haven’t given the EP a listen yet, I would highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of it.

[Alternative] The Vaccines - Tiger Blood

The Vaccines took a plane to NYC to work with a familiar face, Mr. Albert Hammond Jr (from the Strokes) who produced their most recent song 'Tiger Blood'. Albert’s role here feels more like a collaboration that just being the conductor, the drums fast-lead us through the track (in a “Wreckin’ Bar” style) and we have two guitars fighting over each other for the main riff while the gravelly voice of Justin moves smoothly along the straight forward Jesus And Mary Chain-esque melody.
