“My God is better than your God is better than her God,” so sings Chloe Baker, better known as bitter’s kiss, on her touching new single “My God,” which points out how religious people everywhere all believe that their God is better than everybody else’s God. It’s a light-hearted enough song, but the message is…

Singer/songwriter KT Tunstall has been a favorite of mine ever since the first time I heard “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” years ago. For many people, that was the only song of hers that they’d ever hear, since it was the only one that most radio stations — at least in the Boston area…

On their last few albums, Die Antwoord were a very gimmicky, almost comedic duo. As Ninja describes their new video for the single “Banana Brain, “A young girl sneaks out to a party with an unusual thug rap-raver boy and has the worst / best night of her life.” Suffice to say it’s a pretty…

Now they’re back with “Cruel Cats,” an exquisitely produced new single that’s ripe for the picking. With beats that clobber and slam, it grabs your attention immediately and it’s a sheer…

We’re gearing up to do an interview with Molly Moore soon. In the meantime, we thought we’d feature her hypnotic video for her song “Blood. Sweat. Tears,” which reminds us of the piano ballads of BANKS. A blend of the sensual and the melancholic, Molly’s song is as gorgeous as they come, a ballad that…

Maybe you’ve got the Monday morning blues? Maybe even a Monday morning hangover? Just can’t get motivated today? Well, get ready for a shot of adrenaline! Zebrahead’s latest single, “Who Brings A Knife To A Gunfight” is one of those songs that just overflows with energy, has caffeine bursting out of every chord. Listen to…

Bo Rocha will release a new 4-track EP entitled Hold My Gaze on 9th September 2016 via Bait and Switch Records. In the meantime, your summer is going to sizzle with her just released new single “Enough For You.” The mix of its hard-driving beats and her fluttery vocals is direct and moving and sure…
