In Virginia, doe deer is capturing the essence of lo-fi bedroom pop and scattering these dreamy songs about for all to hear. “tennis” is off of doe deer’s most recent album sports, which is one of three albums doe deer released in 2016. There is a still calmness about “tennis” that is oddly comforting. A soothing mildness seems to engulf the entire track.

This track is loaded with synthy bedroom-pop slacker vibes. Featuring just the right amount of upbeat danceability, there is a sweet harmonious balance present once paired with the melancholy melodies. It’s nothing short of retro with fresh perspective on modern nostalgia. Dominic Sena, known as Mr. Hymn, masterfully crafts “The Scene Won’t Wait," which is the Orlando artist’s final song on their first release EP 1 or I. Mr. Hymn invites listeners into this psychedelic warped

Code Orange has quickly become of the most exciting bands to look out for in the past few years. In 2012, Love is Love/Return to Dust put Code Orange (Kids) on the map with an onslaught of doom and powerviolence inspired hardcore. With the release of I Am King back in 2014, Code Orange proved to be one of the heaviest bands in the scene, again, pulling influences from doom metal and powerviolence, but also drone and ambient metal as well. Within the past month, Code Orange ha

After hearing “Can’t Keep Cool,” I had to add recent No Sleep Records signees, Spill, to my ever-growing mental list of Philadelphia-area bands that are absolutely killing it right now. I don’t know what they’re putting in the water over there, but I think I need some. Even though this track clocks in at a brief 2:46, it packs a big enough punch to keep listeners feeling fulfilled. Throughout, the guitars are blanketed in a fuzzy grit that’s somewhere between the satisfying c

In recent weeks, I’ve noticed that music is very similar to an appetite. There’s always a particular genre or flavor we tend to crave at any given time. However, like any balanced musical diet, there are moments when you realize that you are deficient in certain things. “Plant” by Philly based band, Doubles, serves as just that. I didn’t know that I was yearning for just some solid rock music until I got a taste of this track. And now that I have-- I can’t get it out of my mi

"Psycho (i love you)", a catchy song with a menagerie of different musical elements, is the final track on Spritzer's latest EP Get Away. The versatility of this song made it an easy choice for Song of the Week. This is a song you can dance to until the early hours of the morning and also a song you can casually melt into the couch to after a long day. This track is a fusion of surf rock and pop, but even expands beyond those genres with subtle hints of jazz, post-rock, and t

The Good Life's latest folky-pop meets soft rock gem, "The Modern Mary", is both distinctive and addictive.

"I had a monster / it was growing in me." Joey Vannucchi delivers haunting poetic lyrics with his infamously flawless, mellow vocals on From Indian Lakes' latest release "The Monster". A retro undercurrent reminiscent of the 80's weaves itself through the dreamy disco-like melody on the track. This song also masterfully plays with tension between dense instances of layered melodies and quieter moments where the vocals are the focal point. This is an ideal song to accompany la
