New Radiant Storm King – ”In the Spirit of Distance”
New Radiant Storm king. An indie rock band from Massachusetts. I like their style! Most songs these days seem to really be constructed around the music. But this is different. This one strikes me as a song written around very poetic lyrics (which becomes the center). The vibe here reminds me a lot of Jimmy Eat World (Whom I love and adore.)
The High Water Marks – “Good I Feel Bad” (play/download)
Cute. This song is lovely. Takes me away on a wave. I feel like I’m surfing away all cares, and bad feelings in the Cali sun. Acknowledging my mistakes and fears. Rocking out to this song!
Knodel – “Dawn of The Butterfly” (play/download mp3)
“Welcome-to-the-dawn, yeah-baby” YES. My personal robot. Singing to me about what has now come. Which is…you guessed it..the “Dawn of The Butterfly” Pure awesomeness. “off the heezy.” I’ll say! I can see a bunch of zombies dancing around to this a strobe-lit club. Along side of their Butterfly friends. Thanks Knodel for bringing us this rad track!
“Rock N Roll McDonalds” (play/download)
Wesley Willis- A diagnosed schizophrenic from Chicago. This man is an artist who is known for his off-the-wall (sometimes obscene) and truly just HILARIOUS lyrics. I’m sure he is resting in peace somewhere. Most likely playing poker on a cloud with the likes of Marilyn Monroe & James Dean. And…he’s winning! FUCK WITH HIM…and find out!
The Perishers – “Sway” (play/download)
The Perishers present us with “Sway.” Sweet, melodic, and melancholic. Exactly what you’d think these guys to be en entirety right? Wrong! They actually begun in Sweden. Decked out in Doc’s playing pretty harsh hardcore. I guess this is PROOF that as a human/musician when you stop musically allowing yourself to grow, your music will fall with you. The opposite has happened here. I very much approve, and appreciate this bands approach with this song. It truly is beautiful. Check out their playlist at www.perishersmusic.com
