Look out for Jordan Topf aka WINDSER and the track Real Life. For Fans of Matt Maeson – alternative/indie rock. I hope these artists find a place in popular culture again or maybe culture will find them.
The Santa Cruz based artist is a songwriter-producer and fronted the NY post punk band Mainland that released music via Warner’s 300 Entertainment. Give the track a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Kate Plaisted aka Girl in the Garden just dropped the fun mid-tempo song Lose My Mind. I really like the disco pop song and fans of Benee and Dua Lipa and will love this. The Idaho native and Eagle resident made her rounds at NBC’s The Voice and American Idol before. She is currently studying music at the University of Miami. Give the track a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders.

The New York pop rock trio Running Lights release Not The One. You’ll love if you’re a fan of 80’s pop.
The band is made up 3 brothers. They’ve performed roles as touring musicians with artists like Melanie Martinez and Gnash. In 2018 they signed a deal with LA-based IDAP Music, home to William Wiik Larsen (Nico and Vinz, Kygo , Florida Georgia Line ). Check out the track on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Look out for LA’s Dylan Dunlap and the new song release Soldier On.

“I am willing to soldier on and fight the voices in my head telling me I’m not enough because I know that somebody loves me, my heart, and even my mind” shares Dylan.
The singer songwriter cites Coldplay and Mumford & Sons as influences. He supported OneRepublic at the sold-out Stadium of Fire event in Provo, UT while releasing his first-ever original “Microphones & Lights,” and toured across the US and the UK. Dylan released the single “If That’s Alright’ that clocked over 20 million streams. He’s landed on Spotify’s Chill Hits among others.

Charlotte Sands releases the uptempo pop rocker Special. You’ll like if you love the 2000’s pop punk emo scene and some of the electro pop contemporary artists.
“This is a song about a guy I was seeing who, immediately after telling me how ‘special’ I was, told me that he didn’t want to date me and that we should just be friends. I drove home that night and started to realize how many times I had been called “special” over the years by guys that ended up not wanting to be in a relationship with me, and I wrote “I’m so sick of being special” in my notes” shares Charlotte Sands
The 24 year old first made waves in December when her previous song release Dress went viral on TikTok in December. The ACLU posted “Dress” as one of the organization’s top songs for 2020, and included it on their Year in Review playlist. She landed on Spotify’s Fresh Finds Pop, Pumped Pop and All New Rock.
