[Indie - Pop] Gentlemen Hall - Sail Into The Sun

Introducing Gentlemen Hall, a sextet of men hailing from Boston who have managed to make one of the happiest songs of 2013. These guys are very much "unsigned" for reasons that are beyond me and considering they're like a mash up between MGMT and Passion Pit - honestly who wouldn't sign that! Anyways the song "Sail Into The Sun" was recently released by the band as a means to somewhat "get noticed"  and I think they've definitely done that.

[Indie - Rock] Foals - Everytime

So If you haven't heard, Foals third album Holy Fire has been leaked and is available for download. While I usually don't condone illegal downloading, I honestly couldn't wait to hear the full album, mind you I'll still be purchasing the album in all its 320 Kbps quality next month. First opinion? Well "Bad Habits" and "Everytime" are absolute gems on first listen and well the rest I can imagine will follow suit in true Foals style.

[Indie - Pop] The Royal Concept - World On Fire

So it's our good friend The Royal Concept who have shared with us a previously unreleased track that was just recently previewed on a tv show called Arrow. It's definitely one of the more dancier tracks that the Swedes have released but nonetheless it is still of the highest quality. In a way i'm glad this was an unreleased song because this isn't the direction I would like TRC to take in the future with their debut album this year.

[Indie - Rock] Cold War Kids - Miracle Mile

Hooray for the return of the Cold War Kids! Their new single "Miracle Mile" was rather unexpected but let me assure, very warmly welcomed as most of you will agree. The Californian rockers fourth studio album Dear Miss Lonelyhearts will be one of the most anticipated releases of this year (April 1st). It's pretty upbeat for A CWK song but nonetheless, Nathan Willett's trademark powerful vocals will definitely touch your heart.

[Indie - Rock] Coasts - Oceans

Newcomers Coasts are another indie band from the UK on the rise and with a single like "Oceans" it's easy to see why. Drawing similarities to their countrymen Foals and Friendly Fires the five piece tropical guitar band from Bristol are really quite talented. With those big brooding lyrics and anthemic choruses, Coasts adds their own signature style to those tropical melodies made so famous in 2012. Here's hoping they get noticed in 2013.

[Indie - Rock] Brave Baby - Magic and Fire

A five piece indie band out of South Carolina named Brave Baby have delivered this absolute gem of an indie rock anthem. Not a lot on the web about these guys but I did find out that they were originally called Wylie. "Magic and Fire" is the second single from their debut album Forty Bells which looks fondly at the childhood home we've all got. It's just good honest rock enhanced by some killer guitar lines and an undoubtedly catchy chorus.
