I like the track Burn Bright by Teddy Fontana. Sounds like Lana Del Rey with a bit more edge. The track comes off her 7-track EP Paradise City.

Hailing from Santa Barbara, Teddy Fontana landed a gig at a recording studio in Los Angeles where she worked under producer Yeti Beats (Doja Cat). She got inspired her to begin recording and releasing her own music. Since releasing her debut 2019 single, she became Spotify favorite landing on “New Music Friday” and a blog darling landing features with Lyrical Lemonade and Surfing Soundwaves. Working with guitar player Dru DeCaro (Miguel, will i am), they’ve come up with a blend of sad and dark mid tempo pop tracks.

Check out the Skin by Cheska Moore. Fans of dark alternative pop will love. It’s different and refreshing without lacking commercial appeal.

The South London singer-songwriter is inspired by Halsey, Sia, Jessie Reyez, and Lana Del Rey.

Becoming known for reinventing popular cover songs and working as a session singer, Rita Ora gave Cheska a shoutout in Glamour Magazine.

She released her debut single in 2019, and her song ‘Single Player Mode’ was chosen as BBC introducing’s Track of the day.

Look out for Alex Freeman and her debut track Paper Mask. You’ll like if you love electro pop, confessional pop, and orchestral pop. The song was created in her room, on a laptop with logic with a SM7b Shure mic. Also, this may be the last good coronavirus track before the pandemic officially ends.

The Florida based singer songwriter says about the covid inspired song, “I just felt that it was so crazy that we put our faith in a paper mask to save the world as we know it.”

Alex will drop the 80’s inspired video for the track Paper Mask followed by a string of new singles. You can find the song on KOAR’s Indie Invaders Playlist.

The Eiffels drop the new single Collide. You’ll love if you like upbeat indie rock with an anthemic chorus.

Sean Ulbs says the song is “…a love letter to the dance floor. It’s about L.A. nights spent in dark rooms with strangers. People who are different in every way, but all singing the same words, moving to the same rhythm”

We featured the act back in 2015, and they’ve been on the up. Since then, the indie rock trio has garnered love from Pitchfork, Forbes, and Alternative Press and their song was used in Netflix’s hit movie The Kissing Booth 2. The played the Van’s Warped Tour, and opened for X Ambassadors and Plain White T’s. They’ve picked up radio spins from Los Angeles’ KROQ and KLOS, and San Diego’s 91X and Z90. Give the track a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders playlist.

Now that America has the virus on the run, the live show has reawakened. Are we in the clear? Many hope so. In fact, more shows are on the books now than in 2019.

“Around the world, people are showing the need to get out and socialise once again which reinforces our expectation that a return to concerts will be the logical progression as vaccines are readily available to everyone who wants to get one”, Rapino said.

He continues: “We are already seeing confirmed major tour dates for 2022 up double digits from the same time pre-pandemic in 2019 for 2020.

Live Nation’s Rapino did predict that live show would return by summer.
