Join The Riot, a Swedish 5 piece alt band have created a buzz with the infectious dance electro track ”Us against the wall”. The band is recording their debut album in a display window in the middle of the Swedish capital this month.
Kings became big fans of Kid Astray, a dance alt pop from Norway that just released an incredibly infectious track ‘Day in June‘ along with a video. They have been described as a motley crew of six friends (including a former junior golf champion, Italian Vogue model and piano prodigy), all in their late teens and early twenties, who knock out day-glo, indie-tinged dance-pop with the effortless ease of musicians with pure pop running through their veins.
We fell in love with the track Tokyo by Nottingham electro-alt act DECO. This upbeat track is layered in synth, hooks, & originality. Think Imagine Dragons “Radioactive”. The single comes off DECO’s second EP ‘Minus’. Completing a mini UK tour this year, the band have recently performed venues including The Barfly, London, O2 Academy Birmingham, Rescue Rooms Nottingham and Kasbah Club Coventry.
Rebel Kites is making some noise with their own brand of folk rock. The London five piece garnered thousands of listens on Soundcloud in the first week of the release and the record received national airplay on BBC Radio and premiered on Indie Shuffle.
We’ve become fans of the dream pop Canadian act As The City Rumbles Underneath. The track “Some Like You” that comes off the Prophecies EP is catchy, upbeat & memorable. The band began releasing singles and videos that turned into their first EP, “Flowers from the Stars”. Their music has been featured on indie music blogs and podcasts. The song, “Hearts Expire” was featured in the TV show, “Degrassi-Next Generation” and the fashion publication Flare Magazine’s “Songs of Summer” Songza play list.

Join The Riot, a Swedish 5 piece alt band have created a buzz with the infectious dance electro track ”Us against the wall”. The band is recording their debut album in a display window in the middle of the Swedish capital this month. They built a studio in a glass box in Stockholm’s busiest streets and are spending the whole month working on the album in what they have named ‘A Glass Cage Of Emotions‘. Throughout the month passers-by can watch what’s going on through the many windows and even listen to their sessions via headphones on the street. We’ve been working on the album for a little over a year, and figured that when it came to recording it, collaborating with the Scandic Malmen hotel to promote its music profile at the same time as our new album, would be much better than renting an expensive studio,” says vocalist Henrik Ljungqvist. They’ve performed venues and festivals in Sweden and in April toured China performing Music Midi Festival.
