Mayer Hawthorne "Lingerie & Candlewax"

Funky. Groovy. If this is new adult contemporary, we can dig it.

Lucius "Turn It Around"

Great clap along with distorted voices.

Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper "Kicking Grass"

Zany fast violin, banjo, and mandolin. Talent!

The Pack A.D. "Rocket"

We love this group. Their consistently raw and growling sound is the real deal.

packad-via

Djemba Djemba "Shout"

Simple little dance pop tune.

Serani "No Games"

If you love Sean "Gimme The Light" Paul's reggae, you'll love this.

esran-via

Fury "Touch"

Banging. Huge anthem-worthy track.

Cate Le Bon "Wonderful"

Irresistibly quirky. Together together my heart’s in my liver...

Dai Burger "Class President"

Sass to the extreme.

blow-via

Dynasty Boys "Move For Me"

On a double header comeback tour.

Shawn James & The Shapeshifters "Hellhound"

Badass track, this goes on in one direction only: hell-bound.

supersuck-via

Khari Wendell McClelland "Roll On"

There's no other way to put it: this is true, deep soul.

kh-via

Boehm "Swallow My Pride"

The production in this bouncing, female-vocally-driven track has a familiarity to make it loveable, enough edge to keep it fresh.

boehm-via

Alberta Cross "Isolation"

Really nice vibe here. Positive and uplifting, with simple arrangements and whistling.

ab-cross-via

FMLYBND "Space and Time"

We're not done yet! FMLYBND's energy is absolutely electric. Get hooked.

fmly-via

Andrew Judah "Running Home"

An absolute barrage of sound, you’d think this was an undiscovered Arcade Fire track.

aj-via

Tori Kelly "Dear No One"

Closing out with a heart wrenching song, cleverly guised with bubblegum production.
