Are you ready for another week to celebrate the awesomeness that is indie music? The nominations for the first half of 2017 for the LA Music Critic Awards will be announced on Tuesday, and we can hardly wait to share them with you. It’s been a super busy time for indie artists, and we combed through a lot of submissions, even writing reviews on every one of them. Do a google search for “Get it or Forget it” and check out our reviews.
In the meantime, let’s check out some great tunes and music videos that have recently been released. Have a great week!
NEW MUSIC
Here’s a couple of new artists we recently discovered courtesy of the A&R Department, and we really like their first singles: Oddie Room Project‘s “Do You Know” and Tom Walters’ “Marlborough.” Check them out and let us know what you think.
Like many of you, we are also big fans of British bands, and we have recently discovered a new amazing band out of Leeds. Give a listen to “Saint,” the first single by Peakes, and let us know what you think.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Groovetonics music is music that makes you move, and Ellee Ven is the mistress and creator of this genre. Check out her latest video “Sun Up,” featuring rapper Prodéje. This should help you get over the Monday blues.
Here’s another discovery that comes courtesy of multiple LA Music Critic award winners Lovers & Poets. Birds and Arrows are friends of theirs who have recently moved to the west coast, and we are sure glad they did. Get your Monday rocking with this groove.
Speaking of Lovers & Poets, we’ll close out this edition with the latest from lead singer Shannon Hurley, off her recently released album New Day. Check out her video for “Number One” – if this one doesn’t put you in a good mood, nothing will.
