It may be April Fool’s Day, but the quality of the music coming out of the indie community is no joke. This month has five Mondays, so we have an extra opportunity to highlight outstanding singles and music videos. Let’s get it going.
NEW SINGLES
Our first single this week is a blast from the past. Many of you fell in love with the sound of The Rembrandts, especially if you were fans of the television show, Friends. Well the lads are making a comeback, courtesy of the fine folks at Blue Élan Records, and have released their first single, “How Far Would you Go?”
For our second single, allow us to introduce you to pronoun, an amazing one-woman band with an incredible pop sound. Here’s the title track from her forthcoming album temporary insanity, which will be released in May.
If you like television theme music, then you will love our third single from Run Coyote. We love the retro feel of 60s television on “The Chase.
Just when you think you’ve heard all the possible mash-up combinations along comes a band that mixes disco with metal. They are actually quite good and go by the name Makes my Blood Dance. Here is their first single, “Beaming Right Up.” See you on the dance floor.
Our final single this week is from Jenny Tolman, an upcoming country songstress who was recently named as the Facebook Artist of the Day. She shows why she was chosen on her latest single, “High Class White Trash.”
NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
Are you one of the countless fans that made Glee such a cultural phenomenon? If you are, then our first video will definitely appeal to you. It comes from Kevin McHale, who portrayed the affable wheelchair-bound character Artie Abrams. On his first ever solo project, he has written an incredibly danceable song, “Help me Now,” and has created a lyric video for the tune.
Next up is a chill video from Erin K. We love her sound and think you will dig it as well. Here’s “Frame to Freeze.”
Our next band, The Happys, comes from the San Francisco area and bring back fun surf music with a hint of punk on their single “Cut the Rope.”
Our fourth video comes from goth rockers Skiver. These guys will blow you away with a sound like an entire band of Adam Lamberts. Here is their song “No Goodbyes.” Rock on!
Our final video is a soothing tune from Elisa Kate which we think is the perfect segue to the week. Enjoy the beauty of “Now or Never.” See you soon.
