In this edition of LITM Rock Picks, rock gets a sweet and salty shake up with incredible work from The Würmen, Empty Machines, NTGB and more! Listen to their unique music and enjoy the spread on the playlists as well!
The Würmen-Holistic Medicine
There is a rock energy unlike any other that comes from this eclectic band. One only has to hear the first few seconds of this song to know what The Würmen can do. It is an explosive single, an exciting and thunderous music. By the time the boys hit the chorus, bridging the heat every time. It is a brilliant effort, raw and real. The Würmen have some of the most electric chorus and verse builds that you will experience, so make sure your volume is through the roof. This medicine doesn’t get bitter, so let’s go at it:
Empty Machines-Velvet Sky
There is solo rock music, and there are Empty Machines. There is an instrumental energy to this that is almost nuclear. The way this project has developed is really something. Their debut track Luna has brought some incredible production and layered work to the light. The storm that has been created is worth exploring just for the kind of style that it has flowered to something new. The status of their songs tell a story that separate the cream from the crop. There is way too much going on in this beautiful gem of a song, so have a listen:
NTGB-There’s No Ghosts In This Town
Swinging rock lost feel some time ago, but NTGB are here to prove that isn’t right. Their music has a shock factor, how are such promising melodies even written? Lyrics that will tantalize your imagination and bring you solace along with a story to remember. The band is peaking with some of the best indie music you’ll hear a group produce. The themes keep varying, the style is always different and the result is a memorable song that will remain in your heart for time to come. Listen to their single here:
Stefan West-Happily Ever After
An increasingly cynical world seems to have sucked the joy out of us. Stefan West comes along with that music, and challenges that perspective. From the joyous shores of Geelong, Australia, he treats you to some beautiful music that showcases his golden heart. His lyrics treat you to some beautiful visuals, inspiring and more to feel out than to think about. Vocals are at some of their best with this kind of execution, and he flows into the percussion like it were his pulse. The song is an amalgam of what we needed at a time like this:
Gli Incubi di Freud-E Poi Non Ridi Più
This is rock unlike any kind you have heard in some time. Gli Incubi di Freud hear references and influences, but are in their own flow. Hence, you get a song like E Poi Non Ridi Più. It is a result that makes you want to dance, but really feel what is going on in the song as well. An incredible, heartfelt song with some really great elements to experience. They also have other singles like Leader Carismatico, with lyrics that bring up some real soul in their music:
