Sunny, slacker pop has a particular home in my heart, and I touched upon Bear Driver’s single “Big Love,” a few months back. Fast forward to now, they are releasing another single “Enemy,” a whimsical pop rock track that glistens and jangles with a coinciding video (below) and the
Blonds
Blonds – Run The lovely duo Blonds is about to released their full length debut, The Bad Ones, on August 7th this year. They are releasing this first single, “Run,” a melodramatic track with huge, howling vocals from singer Cari Rae. It’s expansive, raw and beautiful. The Floridian couple uprooted
Chocolate Robots
Chocolate Robots – Young Luff This may be the perfect ray of sunshine that we here in Boston need after about 2 weeks of gray days and rain. Enter Chocolate Robots, a trio of brothers who call a pizza shop home. Their music is fun, irreverent, a little zany and whimsical.

Harry Oakwood

New Beard
New Beard City – Doom I’m really enjoying this new single from NYC’s New Beard, off of their upcoming record New Beard City. The music is a mixture of orchestral string assortments, a killer rock guitar solo & quick delivered vocals. I can’t say I’ve ever heard
