Here’s some fun indie rock to get your work week started on a smooth pace. California Wives ”Marianne” has a smooth rocking sound that reminds me of The Cure but I love the drums which direct the vibe of this indie rock song.

Shouts to Indie Shuffle on the find.

May 16th, 2012 by | Hidden Gem, Music Video, Rock |

 Hidden Gem: Beta Wolf *rockBeta Wolf is a rock group from Los Angeles that deserves your attention. Their music is infectious and this is a band that should not be overlooked. I’d rather let the music speak for itself though, so here’s four of their most recent songs.




If you like what you hear, watch their latest video, “Believe In Love” below. It’s my favorite song from Beta Wolf!

b.FUNK – The Campaign *hip-hop/rock

May 12th, 2012 by | Hip-Hop/Rap, Rock |

artworks 000022741815 dz0s7b original 600x600 b.FUNK   The Campaign *hip hop/rockHere’s the latest song from hip-hop/rock band b.FUNK, “The Campaign”. It’s got a slick rock vibe with some hip-hop vocalism. I love when hip-hop can be mixed with other elements like rock or electronic and this is another example of that, but more on the raw rock band style.

“The Campaign” will be off b.FUNK‘s upcoming mixtape, Check Yo Mind, due out real soon.

Video: Shadows On Stars – Out Of My Head

May 11th, 2012 by | Alternative/Indie, Music Video, Rock |

shadows on stars press 5 600x400 Video: Shadows On Stars   Out Of My HeadCan anybody tell me what commercial they’ve heard this song in? When I heard the beginning guitar riff, I swear I’ve heard this on some slick alcohol commercial. I love the instrumentals, the vocals can be a bit annoying but this is a fun alternative punk song off Shadows On Stars self-titled debut album (Free Download) which is a must-listen project!

Watch the video to “Out Of My Head” below. (more…)

Hidden Gem: b.FUNK *next generation of The Roots

CHeCk yO mIND cover 600x600 Hidden Gem: b.FUNK *next generation of The RootsWhy am I saying that b.FUNK can be the next generation’s version of the legendary Roots crew? Not only do I believe that and a couple other hip-hop/alternative band’s (like Zoo Legacy) having that potential, but according to b.FUNK, the B.B. King Club agrees!

But I always believe the music can speak for itself, so here’s b.FUNK‘s (FREE) Check Yo Mind EP.

Wanting more from the hip-hop/alternative rock band? Here’s the music video for EP and upcoming mixtape title track, “Check Yo Mind” below. (more…)

Buy: Antonio Paul – End of the World EP *road-trip fun indie rock

April 29th, 2012 by | Album/Mixtape/EP Review, Alternative/Indie, Music Video, Pop, Rock |

 Buy: Antonio Paul   End of the World EP *road trip fun indie rockRoad-trips are pretty boring, unless you have a killer soundtrack to invoke sing alongs, dancing and a whole bunch of fun. Antonio Paul‘s latest single ‘Into the Night’ offers just that. The mystical pop number takes you on a magical road-trip that keeps you moving until the very end. The fast paced and drum heavy track is reminiscent of an Australian Two Door Cinema Club.

Before you watch the video to that, stream the song and “Made In China” another favorite of mine. Both tracks are on Antonio Paul‘s latest studio release, End Of The World EP (iTunes).

Watch the music video for ‘Into The Night’ below. (more…)

Live Studio Video: DownBeat Keys – Deer In The Headlights *MUST-WATCH

April 29th, 2012 by | Hip-Hop/Rap, Music Video, R&B, Reggae/Jam Band, Rock |

 Live Studio Video: DownBeat Keys   Deer In The Headlights *MUST WATCHHere’s a rocking new video from a group that we featured on Best You Never Heard 6. It’s genre-blending hip-hop band DownBeat Keys, one of the best up-and-coming hip-hop bands coming out to NYC!

This latest video, shot by Chris Meidell of MTV and Jason Chung, is a must-watch! There’s so much feeling and rocking sounds to the hip-hop/R&B track, “Deer In The Headlights” and I can tell the best way to truly appreciate this DBK’s potential is by seeing them live.


Here’s the next best thing though, a live studio performance. Watch the DownBeat Keys Live Studio Performance “Deer In The Headlights” below. (more…)
