Fans of the heavier version of electric blues rock rejoice because here come Kit Trigg with their debut EP “Thrasher”. While all four tracks are equally exciting, we chose the title track “Thrasher” as our Song Pick of the Day, and the reason for this is simple: there is just

VIDEO: Hunter As A Horse - Dead Stars

London duo Hunter As A Horse just released their excellent EP “The Two Magics Vol. 1” and here is a video for the song “Dead Stars”, which has the vibe of an post-apocalyptic video game where a bleak cityscape is devoid of humans, except the mysterious figure of singer Mia

SONG PICK: Sofi Tukker - Déjà Vu Affair

From all electronic music duos Sofi Tukker has managed to carve out their own sound that stick in your head with repetitive lyrics and melodies. Our Song Pick of the Day “Déjà Vu Affair” is more conventional but no less cool with its urgent synth line and dramatic guitar riffs.

glamglare's Top Picks for Northside 2016

So many fantastic bands to choose from! Long time favorites, plenty of “must sees” and then those bands we’ve experienced putting on a great live show and whose music we simply love. Hard to select only a few but we decided to feature the bands we’ve seen before

Music

SONG PICK: Caro - Cold Comfort

“Cold Comfort”, the just released second single by Leeds three-piece Caro, is intelligent alt-pop at its best! The track effortlessly mixes a singer-songwriter waltz with the high-energy and harmonies of prog rock, yet without ever sounding pompous or too experimental. “Cold Comfort” is a rather mature piece of music with

Music

SONG PICK: Saltwater Sun - Now Or Never

Sometimes a band name alone wants me to listen to their music: Saltwater Sun has a good sound to it. So does our Song Pick of the Day, “Now Or Never”, the new song of the London five-piece: it is melodic rock in the vein of Garbage or Wolf Alice.

Music

SONG PICK: Extra Texture - Take It All

There are songs, I come back to over and over again because I really dig them, for their easy flow and pleasant vibe and “Take It All” by New York’s Extra Texture is one of them. It is a classic indie-rock song, with really cool vocals, great guitar work,

LATE NIGHT: Titanics - Close Enough

Imagine at the end of a hectic day with only little to no time for slowing down, to start listening to “Close Enough”: it’s easy to get lost in a positively refreshing bliss of sound and sheer beauty. It’s all I wish for in a song to help

Music

NEW TRACK: ARI - Tiny Bubbles

Listen to Canadian singer ARI’s new song “Tiny Bubbles”, which comes with bouncy synth lines and cheerleader chants. It is as crazy fun as Lowell’s “Bells”, one of my favorite tracks. Ari’s debut EP “Tunnel Vision” is scheduled for June 17.

SONG PICK: Night Games - Suffocate

After their last song, the bright, melodic “Faithless”, London electronic pop band Night Games takes it a little slower and darker with “Suffocate”. Get lost in our Song Pick of the day now:

SONG PICK: PLAZA - Blood Orange

“Blood Orange”, the newest single by PLAZA, a young indie-rock band from the industrial seaside town of Hartlepool, surprises with its blend of opposites. While the track starts out blissfully, evoking images of a sun-filled day at the beach with its chill, contemporary surf rock vibe, it intermittently contrasts with

VIDEO: Von Sell - I Insist

Watch the video to “I Insist” by Von Sell. You will not see himself in this video – it is more a post-apocalyptic short film shot in an abandoned hotel in Upstate New York.

NEW TRACK: Dog Orchestra - CLUB Fragil (feat. Lune)

Dog Orchestra is a Swedish music collective with anonymous members. The their latest track “CLUB Fragil” the chorus says “Make no mistake / if you touch me I break” and you get the idea she means it. A beautiful track!

Q&A with HEATH

End of April, HEATH released their new EP “JUNE” from which we featured the breathtakingly beautiful “Brambles” as Song Pick of the Day. All four tracks on “June” are amazing and so we wanted to learn a bit more about this Brighton three-piece. Thankfully, HEATH took some time out of

SONG PICK: The Aces - Stuck

The Song Pick of my Birthday is the unabated pop song “Stuck” by Utah four-piece The Aces. It is full of energy, pushed along by a bouncy guitar line and at the time of the second chorus you can already sing along. Have a great Wednesday – I will enjoy mine

SONG PICK: Pierce Fulton - False Proof

When “False Proof” landed in my inbox, I listened to the track without any prior knowledge or bias and loved what I heard: a smooth, alt-rock song, with an irresistible hook and intriguing song progression, charming vocals and an overall groovy vibe. After having listened to it for the third

Factory Floor, the masters of endlessly building semi-instrumental, apocalyptic tracks are back with a new single off their upcoming album “25 25”, announced for August 25.

SONG PICK: Elizabritz - Fantasy

SONG PICK: Elizabritz – Fantasy Elizabritz, the duo of Rachel Eff of California and the somewhat mysterious North Carolina producer Fantom, had an already strong debut with “Falls”, but I like this one, our Song Pick of the Day, even more. The topic is slightly more upbeat: Rachel has a “Fantasy”

SONG PICK: Drew Vogelsang - Days

When I first listened to “Days” by Drew Vogelsang, I didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics but simply enjoyed the effortless flow of the song, enjoyed its chilled and laid-back vibe. Only now, listening to it again under different circumstances, the lyrics jump out when Drew Vogelsang softly
