I'd be honored to have anyone take the time to review and listen to my new EP. Hi Linda!

Brave New Storm is a terrific soundtrack to any rainy day. They have some tracks free to download on their Soundcloud.

A Will Away's album is surprisingly fresh and well-crafted pop-punk. They're RIYL just says "rock", but for the sake of specificity, it's more along the lines of Hod Rod Circuit/ Transit/ Northstar.

Frameworks' new single is dope. Check it out if you enjoy Pianos Become The Teeth.

Aveley are pretty good. The Loss too.

what does "Sex Rock / Kickass Kindergarten Folk" even mean?!
