Queens, NY indie rock outfit The Breaks Inc released a song called No Words (It’s Just This Thing That I Do). It’s the probably the best indie anthem I heard this year and would love to see the song get more streams.
The band says “We’re like The Strokes if they never got famous, or like Elton John if he wasn’t gay. We’re like the dollar store knockoff Beatles if they still had Pete Best for a drummer. We’re like Queen but if Queen was from Queens. Who are we? Maybe we’re just too wrapped up in another decade to be able to figure it out. One thing we do know is that our music is as addictive as a chain-smoking Netflix binge-watching gambler with a roll of quarters and a sweet slot machine. Also our frontman is probably clinically insane”.
The band has an upcoming show at The Bitter End in NYC on April 15th.
Look out for Ellie Maybe & The Cancellations and the track Happy Endings. You’ll like if you want something hooky, poppy and upbeat. Think Tegan and Sara, Warpaint, and The Jezabels. The Nashville indie rock act skillfully put together a 3 minute banger that includes a violin, synth, and layered harmonies.
The band says “Happy Endings (Aren’t for Us)” is a song of commiseration, written for a close friend going through a really rough time. Even though the lyrical content is bleak, I wanted it to speak to the comfort of knowing we’re all clawing through this life uphill together—and in that, I think there’s a hint of hope”
The band landed on several playlists including 360° ,The Best Indie Music, Updated Daily, The Rock Workout – Rock Music For The Gym.
Natalie Shay has dropped the new track Two Sparks. You’ll love if you like Lauren Spencer Smith “Fingers Crossed” and could connect if you’re in a dwindling long term relationship that has lost its spark.
“It’s honest and autobiographical, I wanted to write about something a bit deeper and more complex, something more relatable to anyone at any age in any relationship, whether it’s your high school sweetheart or your married partner” says the North London based artist.
Shay has grabbed the attention from Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, Clash and The Line of Best Fit and landed Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in 12 countries.
Singer-songwriter Maddie Ashman has dropped her lates single I Care. You’ll like if you want something unique different ala Agnes Obel and Orla Gartland. Have you heard of cello pop? Neither have I and that’s partly why I enjoyed this track.
‘The song is all about staying connected and checking in with those you love, especially when they don’t feel like themselves,’says the 23 year old London based multi-instrumentalist.
It’s the first single from the forthcoming pop cello-led EP out in May 2022, which explores the familiar dreams, worries and ordeals of being a young. The single comes after a string of tours with TikTok sensation Tom Rosenthal which was abruptly ended by restrictions. Maddie turned to writing a new song every week, racking up over 100,000 Instagram views across Spring.
Pink has called out Rolling Stone mag for snubbing her from a list feature ranking the 25 greatest Grammys performances of all time.
The singer reacted in rage after discovering that she had been left out of the list.
Pink took to the comments to express her discontent, at first writing on Instagram: ‘Bahahahaha you guys have been irrelevant since 1990.’This is the magazine that used to feature people like John Lennon and Muddy Waters. ‘Hunter S Thompson wrote political pieces- they put Tina Turner on their cover. Then they sold out and all credibility went to shit when “style over substance” and “revenue over authenticity” went into play.’ ‘F**k rolling stone. And I’ve felt that way for decades- as so many of my favorite artists and my peers have.
Winner must take all!
