If you haven’t heard of the Nova Scotia, Canadian outfit Rain Over St. Ambrose, that could all change soon. They dub themselves as Trans-Fat Rock, but seriously the track ‘Broken Love‘ is awesome, and reeks of coolness. The video directed by Scott Simpson (David Myles, Carleton Stone) is also well crafted and reveals the bands live performance. Featuring backup vocals from Jennah Barry, the single spent some weeks on CBC Radio 3’s R3-30 charts but it can go much further, a couple of ‘check-out-this-band’ tweets from celebs would serve them well.

Los Angeles based Jake London who goes under the name City Of Neon released the 80’s inspired ‘Electric Love‘ which is upbeat, catchy, and will quickly get the bored on the dance floor. Jake has a story that consists of loss, influence, and a move to Hollywood. Most of all, City Of Neon came as he was driving while listening to Ryan Adams. Jake is planning upcoming shows that will coincide with the new soon to-be-released EP titled “Ruminator,” which was produced by engineer Phil Allen (Adele, Pink).

It’s easy to become a fan of Dive In, a UK trio that delivers slick, and big-alternative pop sound. Residing just outside of Glastonbury the band formed based on need and the scarcity of musicians. One of my favorite tracks from ‘Change in Weather’ EP is ‘Big Talk’ with its driving beat, memorable chorus, with synths and guitars that trade-off throughout. The band is currently gearing up for a new EP release titled ‘Eighteen’.

Los Angeles Highland Kites has released a video for the track ‘Small Frame‘. The video captures playful scenes, vintage moments, and offers a perfect backdrop for the folk rock track. The band has found success through song placements on MTV, Showtime network, and VH1’s Tough Love and will release their third EP with Raymond Richards (Local Natives, Honey Honey) in March.

NY based Royal Tongues have released the track ‘One And Only‘. The alternative pop duo has a knack for crafting radio-ready top 40 songs. They’ve mastered the Oh Oh’s and the production is as strong as the melodies & chorus. Aaron notes,”This is one of the first track Justin and I ever wrote together, so we were very excited when we got the news it would be in the new comedy “Sister’s”. Thankfully, good songs rarely go unnoticed as the band has found a listening audience on Spotify & SoundCloud.
