Heavyskint - When Are You Coming For Me Jesus?
Early 2000s rock making its presence felt through the sound of the track, ‘When Are You Coming For Me Jesus?’ by Heavyskint is the angst ridden rock track that you were missing out on until now. The instrumentation of the track is emotive, sending across waves of melancholy and angst, and seems to be quite influenced by the grunge scene. The vocals reflect the angst driven instrumentation, and are sure to send chills down your spine. You should add this song to your playlist right this second if you are into modern grunge rock, because this one will not fail to impress you.
Mark Vennis & Different Place - The Beating of the Drum
A country and blues tinged guitar riff starting off the track, ‘The Beating of the Drum’ by Mark Vennis & Different Place will have you taken with its blend of the old and the new. The instrumentation is quite reminiscent of the 70s blues inspired rock. It is never at any moment stagnant, consistently moving and bringing in something new, and keeping you hooked. The vocals very much feel like something right out of the yesteryears, in their richness and depth. If you love the old blues rock, then you are sure to enjoy this contemporary rock track that finds its roots in the days gone by.
Crescent - Milogather Parts 1 & 2
Retro rock making its presence very much felt in the very opening of the tracks, ‘Milogather Parts 1 & 2’ by Crescent offer a transcendental musical experience. The instrumentation is heavily inspired from blues laden psychedelic rock that rejects trends and welcomes intention led building. Both tracks don’t shy from length in the modern age where quick gratification is all the rage, thus maintaining their own personal integrity. The tracks might also remind you of some of the works of The Cranberries or Bôa. Stray from your norm and allow yourself to be taken over by music where worlds collide through these two tracks.
Christopher Green - EASY
A magnetic drum pattern welcoming you to the track, ‘EASY’ by Christopher Green will remind you of the alt rock and cinematic rock scene of the 2000s. The instrumentation starts off slow, and builds in an unhurried manner, maintaining a sort of calming and depth laden rhythm. The lyricism is equally depth laden, with its poetic lyrics and the vocals capture the poeticness of the lyrics beautifully. The song might remind you of winter clothed hills, dark, sombre skies and yet at the same time will remind you of a ball of light that keeps you warm. The solo section that comes towards the end will make you even more glad that you clicked on this song.
Shaky - In a Heartbeat
Reminding you of the alternative rock and garage rock scene of the 2000s, ‘In a Heartbeat’ by Shaky will be the song that will pull you out of a gloom if you are in one. The instrumentation is upbeat, but not overly, as it maintains a reflective quality in it, and dynamic, as it brings in interesting additions. The synth notes in the chorus section add lovely textures to the song. The song might remind you of The Strokes, because of similar emotive and upbeat instrumentations. We are sure that you will thank yourself upon clicking upon this track, so do it right now.
