I love it when Soundcloud surprises me with a new band. Especially one that makes me stop what I’m doing and go in search of more from the band. That is exactly what I did while listening to “Runaway” by KATASTRO. KATASTRO is made up of Andy Chaves on vocals, Andrew Stravers on drums, Tanner Riccio on guitars, and Ryan Weddle on bass. The Tempe, … Continue reading Eargasm of the Week: “Runaway” by Katastro
Grunge returns in the form of LA’s DIRTY CAKES BAND. Part grunge, part psychedelic, part rock rock & roll, and all Los Angeles are the only words that can describe the sound of DIRTY CAKES BAND.

DIRTY CAKES BAND: Bandcamp | Facebook … Continue reading LISTEN: “Never Alone” by Dirty Cakes Band
I have to thank my friend Wilson (@WilsonWorld) for bringing BANDITO REY to my attention yesterday.

The band is Ioan Llewelyn, David Murphy, Jams Ward, and David Copley. I can’t share more with you as a bio and website aren’t currently to be found, … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Laag” by Bandito Rey
With a band name like CABBAGES & KINGS, I am of course going to give the band at least four minutes or so of my listening time. Add in a seemingly naked man covered in what appears to be blood while the rest of his bandmates are fully clothed, I’m going to further investigate on the shenanigans of this band because I am intrigued! Meet … Continue reading Meet Cabbages & Kings
I discovered MISHKA from a JIMMY BUFFETT tweet about two years ago. Jimmy congratulated MISHKA for having the number one reggae album on iTunes and I gave OCEAN IS MY POTION a listen and fell in love with MISHKA‘s sound and vibe. For those who like background story’s on artist, MISHKA, has a great one, involving JIMMY BUFFETT. Jimmy’s song “Chanson pour les petits enfants” … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Riddim For Your Rights” by Mishka
To be honest, I can’t remember how I stumbled onto Brisbane’s ROLLS BAYCE, but I do remember seeing the band name and thinking to myself, “you can’t suck with a name like that.” ROLLS BOYCE does not suck. Listen to their song “Don’t Get Me Wrong” below. It’s a fun and catchy tune. It makes me want to double fist martinis and dance around the … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Don’t Get Me Wrong” by Rolls Bayce

It’s been 2 years since Sydney duo, CIRCLE, released a studio single and they’ve returned with the single, “One.” My ever loving 80’s synthpop heart has fallen for this track. It could have easily fit into the decade of excess and dayglo colors. CIRCLE is Radi Safi and Dan Shaw and other contributors include Rebecca Shave (keys, vox, percussion) Richard Bessell (guitar) and Josh Bush (drums). Listen … Continue reading Track of the Day: “One” by Circle
