After nine straight days of work, we finally have a day off (more or less, as there is an orientation session this afternoon for a new job). We thought it an appropriate time to post our Ten Great Singles and Ten Amazing Videos article for the month of August. We’re also throwing in an extra five for each one to make up for our inability to post earlier this month. Definitely check each one out and let us know what you think about them.
Our first single comes to us from London with the emergence of The Valla. The group has only been together since January of this year, but has already recorded an album and released a pair of singles, including “Anymore.” We love the groove, and think you will too.
Next up is the latest from Right Coast Music recording artist Kicking Sunrise. It’s called “Underneath” and reminds us of Maroon 5 – we dig it, and think it belongs on Top 40 radio.
Our third single comes from Roofers Union and reminds us of the Beatles. They are a NYC-based collective and their latest is “Friends.” We hope to hear a lot more from them.
Next up is the latest from The Hunna. It is mildly explicit but seems to hit a chord of truth in the title “I Get High to Forget.” It’s definitely worth checking out.
We’re one-third through our list with the latest from Australia’s Pat Tierney, a sweet tune that has plenty of meat. Check out “My Sweet Love.”
Upbeat pop/rocker Veronica Fusaro kicks off our next set of five songs with “Rollercoaster.” We are putting this one on repeat. It will definitely put some zip in your step.
Next up is the latest from LA Music Critic Award winners Laini and the Wildfire. Check out the fun and upbeat future Top 40 hit “DeLorean.”
Our next single is hot, with the K-POP sound of Polatropica on their single “Can’t Hold us Back.” This one is made for dancing.
Next up is another great artist from Norway, Secret Treehouse. Check out the serious subject matter contained in their latest single, “Sinking.” Let their words “sink in” as you enjoy their groove.
We round out this set of five with The Needs, another Norwegian band composed of multi-award winning musicians. We think you’ll love “Hey Wake Up.”
Our final set begins with the amazing teen singer-songwriter Noella Rain‘s latest single, “Black and White.” Check out her soaring vocals and amazing songwriting skills.
Next up is the gritty country/folk sound of A&R Records’ PHIL. This one belongs on American country radio, and we love it. Check out “Me N my Guitar.”
A&R Records scores another placement with the latest from Olivia I Barker and her upbeat and funky tune, “Change Your Mind.” Get your groove on with this one.
Film actress (Ouija) and amazing musical artist Sierra, along with her band The Radicals, bring us a fun Top-40 bound hit, “I Like You.” This one is going on my repeat list. If you’re in LA, check them out at the show at The Mint on September 14.

Our final single this month is “Fuck Your Cool” from Folk Road Show, a band that features LA Music Critic Award winner Dom Fricot. This one is a rocking end to this month’s feature.
