VIDEO: The Hunna - You & Me

The Hunna are quickly becoming one of the hottest young rock bands to originate from the UK and we’re certainly not immune to their highly infectious pop rock! While “You & Me” was released about two months ago, the video has not lost any of its appeal, since it

PHOTOS: Malky Serenade a Delighted Audience at Northside's Lyft Stage

There’s something very special to streets getting closed off for traffic and even more so when this happens during Northside Festival, when a live shows are put on and musicians take over with beautiful sounds instead of honking or motor noises. So, walking up  Bedford Avenue and approaching North

NEW TRACK: Chris Malinchak - Tell Me

Something in this song by producer Chris Malinchak sounds like a reminder of a mobile app and this keeps me on the edge as much as the staccato vocals and the beat: you can hardly sit still while listening to this.

Prince Innocence puts on a beautiful show at Union Pool (Northside Festival) Cascine is one of my favorite labels, so what better start to the Northside Festival than their showcase at Union Pool. The Canadian duo [Prince Innocence}(https://www.facebook.com/princeinnocenceband/) opened the show. They do elegant, slow

SONG PICK: Paper City People - Vacancy Routine [EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE]

“Vacancy Routine” is one of these alluring indie rock gems that impress with an interesting mix of mostly minor keys with sprinkles of majors, infectious chiming guitars and vocal hooks. “Vacancy Routine”, is the debut single by Melbourne duo Paper City People. Initially, Paper City People begun as a studio

Northside Festival Day 4 Roundup: Malky // Hinds // Dentist // Lantrns // Dead Leaf Echo

Northside Festival, as opposed to SXSW or CMJ does not slow down on Sunday: there is party all over Bedford Avenue, including a smaller outdoor stage where we caught parts of the set by Bulgarian/German band Malky, whose smooth pop music fitted perfectly for a summer afternoon. Meanwhile, at

SONG PICK: Amber Mark - Monsoon

New York singer Amber Mark’s “Monsoon” is a track that goes to several places in its roughly five minutes: it is a ballad, written for Amber’s late mother Mia, but then she adds a fresh, almost hopeful beat before the song ends with German sound bites by Mia.

Northside Festival Day 3 Roundup: Blak Emoji // Plastic Waves // Chaos Chaos // Wall

Finally it was the day of our showcase at Knitting Factory, which we put together with our sister blog Audiofemme. Even without Painted Zeros, who had to cancel due to illness, we could present an exciting lineup, who many came out to see! First up were Blak Emoji, who effortlessly

SONG PICK: BLAB - Johnny

Our Song Pick of the Day is the debut single of young music student Frances Murray, aka BLAB. “Johnny” seriously rocks with distorted, noisy guitars, which contrast with her clear, bright vocals. It’s a track you can listen over and over again and I’m beyond curious what else

SONG PICK: Jon Prezant - Heartstrings

With Northside Festival (Brooklyn’s up-and-coming answer to SXSW et al) in full swing, I was looking for a cool local track to feature as our Song Pick of the Day and found one with “Heartstrings” by New York artist Jon Prezant. “Heartstrings” is a sweet, upbeat and slowly swelling

Northside Festival Day 2 Roundup: Grandmaster Flash // Flasher // JEFF the Brotherhood

Day 2 started with a Jameson-sponsored happy hour at Zablozki’s with good drinks and surprisingly good food. There we met members of Bent Denim, who provided a song pick last year and Lantrns, our first show of the year. From there we went to the big event of the

NEW TRACK: Memoryy - Out of the Dark

“Out of the Dark” is the right song to start a weekend: full of energy, with bouncy synths and a sing-along power chorus. Memoryy is Brooklyn producer/singer Shaun Hettinger, who is working on a full length out later this year.

Northside Festival Day 1 Roundup

Finally! The Northside Festival, Brooklyn’s far more intimate and relaxed version of SXSW has started. Aside from short ways between the events, we also enjoy that the action takes place in some of our favorite venues. Our second living room, Union Pool, for example, where we kicked off the

Excited for Chaos Chaos // Plastic Waves // Blak Emoji // Painted Zeros @ Knitting Factory for #NSIDE

Summer in the city and Northside Festival in full swing! So many great bands and interesting showcases to choose from, yet here’s one we’re particularly excited about. Granted, we’re also a bit biased but even if these exciting indie rock acts wouldn’t perform at our and

Q&A with OTHERKIN

OTHERKIN hailing from Dublin, Ireland have an EP coming up later this month, and recently released the infectious “Yeah, I know”. It’s an amazing power track, so we made it Song Pick of the Day. Wanting to know more about the four from Dublin, we asked them to be

SONG PICK: Water District - Supernova

There’s just one word that comes immediately to mind when listening to “Supernova”, the new single by Los Angeles indie rock band Water District –beautiful! The meaning behind the track in Water District’s own words: “Supernova is a song about what occurs when people explore new things in

NEW TRACK: Emyle - Drunk on You

It just love the synth line in this song by L.A. singer Emyle. “Drunk on You” is a straightforward electropop song with a nice 80s vibe.

More Acts Not to Be Missed at Northside 2016

A few days ago, we collected the artists we’ve seen before and would love to see again, any time, hence “glamglare’s Top Picks for Northside 2016“. With Northside Festival just having started, we got a bit more time to look through the line-up more closely, listen to dozens

SONG PICK: Empara Mi - Wanderlust

Our Song Pick of the Day “Wanderlust” by Empara Mi is a wonderfully slow burning, intense track. It is her first release and there is not much to be found about her, but she has her social media in order, so I am sure we will hear more from her

Right in time for the warmer days of the year – here’s talking to you, SUMMER!- comes “Maybe Next Year” by Brighton three-piece Johnny Kills. Should the sun not shine for you today, fear not, because “Maybe Next Year” boasts a sheer endless amount of infectious cheerfulness you can’

3 Is A Band: Joseph

Sometimes, I don’t even need to actually listen to a band to know that I’m intrigued. Gimme siblings, gimme sisters, gimme my second favorite state (after New York, and  to make it easy, it is Oregon) and then a really cool album title like “I’m Alone, No

SONG PICK: Kit Trigg - Thrasher

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
