Kansas City al-indie pop act Captiva who began performing campuses in the Midwest is creating a buzz. Since then, the band has performed clubs and festivals including Fashion Meets Music Festival, SXSW, Boulevardia, and Audiofeed. The band just released their self titled debut EP which features the track ‘Road To Ruin‘. The EP is filled with hooks and catchy guitar riff and the band notes, “It’s raw, honest, and we’re certain that your girlfriend is gonna love it.”

I’ve become a fan Dublin act Ivy Nations. The track ‘You Are The Centre Of Me’, is an impressive upbeat track with a memorable guitar hook & chorus. Known in the Dublin scene, the 4 piece indie act could easily move outward. The band notes via the track, “A lustful relationship that continues to shape the lives of both long after the relationship ends. A ruthless desire to seek out one another while leading separate lives. A paralysis that binds them both to a past that offers no forgiveness. The realization that the future is shrouded in uncertainty, offering only the chance to start again.” Drawing influences from Vampire Weekend to Wild Beasts, specialty radio and blogs alike are beginning to take notice.
