Austin indie act Night Drive has premiered their song Rise and Fall which comes off their forthcoming album due early in 2017. With love from Spin, Ear Milk and others, the dark pop duo are bound to make some noise.

Opening up for A list artists including CHVRCHES, Robert Delong and The Psychedelic Furs, the synth pop act has a reputation of a must-see-live band.

But it’s the backstory that is unique yet tragic. Co-founders Rodney Connell and Brandon Duhon met after a girl they were both unknowingly dating was killed in a car wreck. Having bonded over the tragedy, they began a musical collaboration and fate to its course.

Electro artist Couros impresses with the track Breath Again. The London based producer has worked with Rihanna and Nicki Minaj’s producer Parker Ighile while mastering and crafting his signature sound.

Couros describes his new EP, “I really wanted a big aggressive sound to combat a lot of polite music that we are (unfortunately) getting used to” and describes his writing process as pretty weird, “I make sure there aren’t many constants or habits, for example I don’t use pre-made drum kits or presets. It makes the first few hours pretty slow and I genuinely feel sorry for all the singers and artists I’ve put through listening to me build a synth sound or go through kick samples.”

The PMR Records artist just released a brand new remix to his Alyss-featured single Never Break.
