indie underrated

“Wake Up Dreaming” by Graham Candy ft. bandcalledbeach has that shimmering-on-the-surface-of-water sound that indie rock bands like Phoenix and Two Door Cinema have previously made lovable. The chorus-pedaled guitar and crowded, rhythmic vocal arrangement make it an inviting listen. We love it, and we think indie fans who tend toward chiller vibes will too!

Check out this dynamic new indie rock track by Stinkus! “Holy Virgin” kicks off with that new wave bass sound but quickly flourishes into a fuller arrangement complete with electric and acoustic tones alike. The instrumentation reminds us a little of Sam Fender, and the on edge vocal performance brings Alex G to mind. If you’re into artists like those, you’ll love this one. And keep an eye out for the upcoming album by Stinkus, “I love you, trackstar.”

We love what we hear in “Ciao,” the newest single by Late Guest At The Party. This alt rock single is simultaneously groovy and experimental. The instrumental arrangement holds it all down, allowing the vocals to play; there’s an eclectic mix of deep, throaty lines and shallow, heady melodies. We recommend it for fans of artists like TV On the Radio. Stick around for the rhythm change around the 2:10 mark. You’ll be glad you did!

In anticipation of the upcoming album DVD Rental Store, Dolo Tonight releases a sure-fire new single in “Hotel on Your Heart.” This song has everything you could want in an indie pop song: uptempo rhythm, speedy guitar licks, powerful vocals, and a nearly flawless structural arrangement. Fans of artists like The 1975 and COIN should find plenty to love about it!
