Yunni is a two-piece band that makes fun and energetic music that will lift your spirits and keep you returning for more. Their latest offering “Mocharocka” is a smooth track with a heavily synth-driven soundscape that trades out a lot of organic instrumentation for electronic sounds that preserve their rock core. Leaning into their Latin roots this song has an ambience that is high octane and a joy to listen to. I loved listening to “Mocharocka” and you will be doing yourself a favour by giving Yunni your love and attention. So go check this song out now!
Raccoon Book Club - I’ll Never Know
With a massive guitar tone and bone-crunching riffs with heavy vocals Raccoon Book Club appeals to the Indie Punk Rock fan in all of us with their latest release “I’ll Never Know”. This song is incredibly distinct and charming with its tone and soundscape. The standout element of this track's ambience has to be its instrumentation but the vocal performance is also full of life and emotion. You will keep revisiting this song because of its infectious melodies and endless replayability. I loved listening to this track and so will you. So go check this song and add it to your playlists!
