Brand new act My Ultra Violet is quickly rising up the ranks with their latest track Wilde As Me. Fronted by Dexy Valentine from Magic Wand, the new song references Oscar Wilde. The Los Angeles trio is venturing into the world of synths and dream pop but with choruses and verses that are digestible. Although the dream pop act aren’t breaking any new barriers, it doesn’t mean they can’t find a home. The previous released single Islands is pretty good as well.  Give it a listen.

Denver based duo Lucy Daydream  dropped their debut track A Feeling With A View.  With a moody, creeping, intoxicating melody, the track sounds like a mainstream radio hit.  Before crafting original songs in a basement studio, the indie pop duo began posting music covers. Ironically, Post Malone’s ‘Go Flex‘ which was one of their first covers clocked over 2 million YouTube streams. Give it a stream.

Alt-pop trio  NONONO dropped the track Dancing (Mumbai Wedding) along with a music video. Still, my favorite recent release is Wasted.  The Swedish act made some waves in 2014 with the release of Pumpin Blood that sold more than 2 million singles and landed them on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Kimmel, and a US tour supporting Twenty One Pilots and Foster the People. The Swedish act formed in Stockholm following Stina’s return from Brighton University in the UK where she had spent three years studying for a degree in psychology. She’d been signed by a label as a 17-year-old but had grown weary. “I had done two years of just writing with different producers and there was pressure to always be writing something that could be a hit and there were a lot of strict ways of how songs should sound. It took the fun out of it. It made me really sad and made me think I didn’t want to be a songwriter. But, these guys just encouraged creativity and for the songs not having to be a certain way – as long as you feel it and it feels good.” Give the new track a stream.

Erich Bergen releases the track Running Through The Night.  Radio darlings like Daughtry and Lifehouse come to mind after giving this track a stream. Fresh off his Broadway debut, you may know Bergen who plays Blake Moran on the CBS TV drama series, Madam Secretary.  Bergen tells Kings that the feedback has been amazing, “The response to this song has been more than I could have imagined. I’ve received hundreds of messages on social media, both public and private, about how much this song has meant to them on a personal level. One person in India told me it was the first time they’ve felt ‘understood.’ Another in Minnesota told me it gave them the courage to come out to their family. What this proves to me is that music continues to be the singular universal language that connects us all and that we are all more alike than not. I’m very proud ‘Running Through The Night’ could have some small part in that.” Check it out!

Kings favorite Flight Brigade drops a new track Stranger Things. Like their previous single, the seasoned musicians capture a classic sound. The UK seven piece indie act has been on the cusp of breaking out. Maybe these new tracks will take them to new heights. They’ve become festival darlings appearing at Glastonbury, Bestival, and Great Escape. Radio play includes BBC 6 Music, Gary Crawley, and BBC Introducing London. The band is even bubbling with blogs. They have everything covered, now its sit and back wait and see if the band launches into outer space.
