There are so many bands full of potential that periodically release singles, sometimes EPs, but flame out or release disappointing albums. A lot of these bands are extremely talented and more than capable of finding an audience. Private Island is one of these bands and,…
High – Sir Sly
Sir Sly is a band that I’ve been keeping tabs on since their debut release in 2014 with their single, “Ghost.” If you haven’t heard it, give your ears a little early ear-day present and slip them a taste of that sweet sweet song. They will…
The Wanting – J Roddy Walston & The Business
J Roddy is one of my favorite acts to see live. The man is a bona fide grade ‘A’ deviant rock and roll god, in my opinion at least… I’ve legit seen the man rock on the piano so hard that it fell apart on…
Little of Your Love – HAIM
As a huge fan of HAIM and their first album, 2013s Days Are Gone, I was eagerly awaiting any new music from the group. We finally have our first taste of their new album in their first 3 singles, “Want You Back,” “Right Now,” and now “Little…
Begin Again – Dispatch
I still get down to songs like, “The General,” “Prince of Spades,” “Bang Bang,” from Dispatch so I was elated to see a new album from them. I put Dispatch in a category of bands that you can play for anyone, any occasion and have…

Let Me Breathe – Action Bronson
Good god, “Let me breathe for a minute man. Let me breathe.” Sometimes you just have to take a breather, especially if you’re Action Bronson, who in between cooking in the kitchen with Rachel Ray and smoking massive amounts of the good good watching Ancient…
Glue – Fickle Friends
If you’ve listened to Fickle Friends before, you know their signature sound: bright, colorful, infectious pop. With “Glue,” Fickle Friends amps that signature sound 2x to create their most dance-friendly track yet. Fickle Friends is still somewhat of a mystery, having released only singles sparingly…
Rain Come Down – Vince Staples
“Rain Come Down” is the newest single off Vince’s Big Fish Theory coming out in a couple weeks on June 23rd. Unlike banger “Big Fish,” this track hits much hard with beats from newcomer Zach Sekoff. I run North Side of the beach Run these streets like…
Lay Down – Touch Sensitive
By now you should be familiar with Future Classic. The label harbors some of the best in electronic music today like Flume, Classixx and Flight Facilities. Touch Sensitive has singles few and far between, but they deserve a place right next those wider known artists….
