Happy New Year! As we wind things down at Indie Voice Blog in preparation for our hiatus, we are pleased to share these Ten Great Singles that didn’t make the cut for our weekly Monday Mashups in December.
First up is a band called Avalon Highway that mixes Americana with vintage rock to create an impressive sound. Check out their single, “Hope we Don’t die Young.” We think you’ll be hearing a lot more from these guys in the future.
Next up is a trip-hop/electro-pop tune from Sympala that will get you pumped up to head into the new year. Check out “For You,” and consider it our gift.
Our third single is for those who have disappeared into a “Blackhole.” It features some stellar electronic sounds and introduces us to the power of LØZNINGER + KITOWSKI. Check them out.
Next is another slice of Americana pie, with the amazing and harmonious sounds of The Wood Brothers. The song is a “Little Bit Sweet,” and we can’t wait to taste the rest of their upcoming album which drops on January 24. This one is definitely worthy of a lip smack.
Our fifth single is from Mosey, the solo project of Panic! At The Disco‘s Dan Pawlovich. The song is very cynical but well done, as he explains that “If Christmas Didn’t Exist,” he wouldn’t mind at all. While we don’t agree with his sentiments, the song is still well done and worthy of your consideration.
We kick off our second group of five singles with a modern-day folk tale from Dutch band SPIRITBOX. This song has it all, and we are truly impressed with their talent. Check out their clever tune “The Burner.”
Next up is the latest upbeat electronica instrumental tune from the duo known as Frere. Although they call it “Often Wrong,” we don’t think listening to them qualifies as wrong.
Single number eight is a provocative and explicit tune from the Top 40 worthy sound of M. Maggie. This one talks about physical love, and will keep your juices pumping. It definitely makes us want to be “Real Close.”
Next up is a cover tune from Drea & the Marilyns of the New Zealand-based indie band Lips’ tune “Everything to Me.” It is dark and rich and worthy of multiple listens. Check her out.

We close out this month’s new singles with this high energy Celtic rock/punk tune from The Deadlys, which just happens to be their debut. From the quality of “Work to be Done,” we don’t think it will be their last. Enjoy and we’ll be back soon with our Ten Amazing Videos from December.
