Buzz Track: Knives, Knives, Knives
I received a new song from the Orlando act Makari who was featured several months ago. The new track doesn’t deviate from their indie pop rock sound. This act has a lot of potential considering the unique vocals. The band released an EP titled “The Escape” which was recorded with Jason Andrews in Atlanta, GA. The single “Doses” was released earlier in the year and was recorded with Brooks Paschal (Paramore, Panic At The Disco, Versa Emerge, There For Tomorrow).
