BED – “Blue Sweater”
BED began as a self-titled bedroom project in 2015 by frontman Ebed “bed” Moreno, but 2022 marks the year that it goes from the bedroom to the record deal and tour.

Jemma Johnson – “Love Rush”
Jemma Johnson’s new track was pitched to as an Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift hybrid, but, even without this comparison, “Love Rush” stands on its own as a very catchy, radio-ready tune about the quest for pins and needles. Regardless, since we are already dropping the names of pop sensations, the sentiment in this song …

La Faute is back on the blog with “Watercolours,” a beautifully crafted song that manages to capture the essence of love through the analogy of watercolours. The sparse arrangement of the track allows each instrument to shine, creating a gorgeous soundscape that feels almost like a bossa nova. The tapping, percussive rhythm slowly gives the …
Brittain Ashford – “Could’ve Done You Better”
Brooklyn-based Brittain Ashford has taken some time away from performing on Broadway to record some future hit songs, one of which is “Could’ve Done You Better.” And though it’s quite possible that you’ve already heard her music floating around the airwaves, whether on MTV’s Catfished or HBO’s Search Party, we are still taking it upon …

Blair Gun – “Bennet”
Blair Gun‘s new song, “Bennet,” is a grooving indie/garage rock anthem. Starting with its deep, chugging bass line, the drums quickly enter, driving the rhythm of the song, while the vocals and rhythm guitar drive its melody. The lead guitar, at first, plays unusual notes to give the song a nice quirky feel. The lead …
