If you love the 80’s, you’ll love Heartback by Rollerblader. The band 1975 comes to mind but with a guitar player that shreds a guitar solo.

The music duo made up of Jacob Evergreen and Maxwell Flanders have toured, written and recorded with artists including Jesse McCartney, Rooney, Rachel Platten, Mormor, Echosmith and Madison Beer. If the goal was to put together an indie rock project with songs with slick productions, then mission completed. Check out the video here and stream the song on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

Look out for Ben Provencial and the piano ballad Better Off. It it were to make it to radio, it could be a hit. Fans of Lewis Capaldi and Dean Lewis will like. Better Off comes off his forthcoming EP which will be a collection of sad songs.

“I hope this song can comfort anyone that is feeling stuck in a relationship and lost with themselves because of it. You deserve to be happy so get out of that shit!” shares Will.

Kings favorite Clide released the new track curve me. The 21 built his repertoire on sad boy pop songs, but the new track is a departure. The new track is upbeat but Clide still sounds detached because he is rejected.

“But why you gotta curve me
Is it so hard to tell
Cause now I’m singing love songs
Singing love songs to myself”

Whatever Clide does, he does it well. The songwriter Berlin based songwriter landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday in the U.S. with his last track Can’t Give Back Your Love. Stream it on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.
