Look out for DYLYN and the new track uptempo rock track Call Me What You Want. Due for a much needed genre update, this is how modern rock should sound. “I’ve been spending the current zombie apocalypse on a rural property on the outskirts of Toronto, listening to Black Sabbath, and making demonic masks for my band to wear in the official video,” DYLYN says in an email blast. This Canadian songstress should be headlining the Wisconsin “Herd Immunity Festival” in July because no doubt that the coronavirus will lose its potency after a 30 minute set.

Check out the new uptempo track Friends released by singer-songwriter Lima. Think Jessie J meets Cher Lloyd. Lisa Maria goes under the moniker of Lima and hails from Vienna, Austria.

Imagine getting a call from Taylor Swift? That’s what happened to Zoe Jordan, the 19 year old from South London.

Look out for Matt Taylor and the new track The Breath Within Your Chest which made it on Spotify’s New Music Friday. I like it, it’s different and definitely catchy and that was the goal for the 21 year old Brighton based singer songwriter – to write catchy tracks. The Irish singer is influenced by Julia Michaels, Tove Styrke and Max Martin and he has written for Ariana Grande and Charli XCX. Give it a stream on our Indie Invaders Playlist.

I rarely listen to rock but I kinda of like the track Bulletproof by Canada’s Sierra Pilot. I read that they blurs lines between hard rock and emotive pop music. I’m fine with that. Even though modern rock lost its footing in pop culture it still has the most loyal fans across the world of any major genre by a wide margin. If you’re a 90’s die hard rock fan you’ll like this alt rock act.
