Blonder is buzzing with Lean. This comes to no surprise. There is something special about this track which was recorded with Kevin Augunuas (Cold War Kids) at the famous Fairfax Recording. Blonder stands out in the midst of the onslaught of indie acts.
Write-ups from Clash Mag, Pigeons and Planes, and Nylon has brought the new indie act to the forefront as well as adds to several Spotify Playlists including Indie Mix.
Behind Blonder is NYC’s mysterious singer-songwriter Constantine Anastasakis. A new EP is due out early 2017.

Newcomer Stephanie Skye releases the new track Holding On To Heaven. Showing off her vocal prowess the indie songstress is a cross between Lana Del Rey, Halsey and Daya. I’ve been following Skye’s music journey for a while and she’s onto something here with the latest track.
She’s been building an online following with her quirky makeup videos. Skye notes, “I’m told that I’m awkward, introverted, and a little bit misunderstood.
She is currently working with a variety of producers. The latest track comes off her forthcoming EP.

Patternist impresses with Far From Now. It didn’t take long to hum the upbeat, dancey-vibey track. Based in Oregon, singer-songwriter Gabe Mouer is the music wizard behind the electro pop act.
Influenced by The 1975, Wild Cub, Phoenix, St.Lucia, Patternist has opened for NBC’s The Voice Juliet Simms, The Ataris, and Train.
The boy wonder is buzzing with song placements in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and blog love from Pop Matters! and Baeble Music. Look out for the upcoming EP Give It Up.

A childhood buddy of mine called me from his Wall Street office asking “Have you ever heard of The Catching from NJ? My 10 year old son saw them live and really likes the band”.
After a quick search, I found the 4 piece pop act which wasn’t hard to find. I was hooked after a first listen. The latest single Ready Set Go is straight-up pop rock. The Catching was added to Nick Music and are #1 on YouNow. They have two videos floating around the net directed by Marc Klasfeld (Twenty One Pilots, Katy Perry) and are completely booked with shows this month via High School Nation Tour. From Rumson, NJ arose Charlie Puth — are these boys be next?

Since I first came across The Bergamot, a husband / wife indie folk duo, I’ve been addicted ever since. The new remix of the popular track Forget About Tomorrow is their best yet – think Coldplay meets The Black Eyed Peas.
The Brooklyn based indie act is on a 50 state tour that wraps up October 22nd and have been featured in BuzzFeed, The Deli Magazine, and The Music Bit. The dedicated touring act has performed alongside All American Rejects and Young the Giant, while the latest track was remixed by LA based Malachi Mott (The Game & Zedd). Last but not least, The Bergamot’s created The Unity Collective, a project that brings people together during this divisive era. Props!
