Artists Worth Checking Out indie music Monday Mashup Singles and Videos

Monday mashup 2019: vol. 29

Happy Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day!  It’s time for our weekly Monday Mashup and we have some great ones for you today.  Check out these amazing indie tunes.

THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF HEATHER JACKS

Heather Jacks is one of the coolest indie artists I know.  Although she is not a musician, she is an amazing creative artist, photographer, author and supporter of indie music.  She recently invested in “Bubba the Bus,” and is in the process of converting it to her mobile “tiny home.”  Keep up with her adventures by subscribing to her YouTube channel.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single this week is the radio edit of “Heaven’s Gate” from Emily Breeze, who we introduced to you back in August.  Her latest is further proof that this is an artist worth investing in.

Our next single is from another band we previously featured here on Indie Voice Blog back in 2017 (Monday Mashup) and 2018 (Get it or Forget it), The Crowleys.  Here’s their latest offering, “Clarice.”  We’re glad to have you back.

Single number three comes from another IVB favorite artist with an eerie, transcending vibe named Völuspa.  This one is intriguing and haunting and entitled “Live One Life.”

Our next single features the insane harmonies of Transatlantic trio, Raynes on their latest single, “Lemon Drop.”  This one is a potential monster  hit and deserves heavy rotation on American radio.

Our final single this week is the first release from Swiss band Marey.  We love their sound and can’t wait to hear what comes next.  Here’s “Synthetic.”

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS

First up is a quirky lyric video for “High Functioning,” the latest from the amazing Alannah Kavanagh aka Grizzly Coast.  This one will get you going like nothing else.

If you love magic and Americana music, then you will love “In My Time” from Fletcher C Johnson.  This one is just plain fun.

Video number three is a powerful video about human rights from The Oddysy, and features Public Enemy‘s Chuck D on the song “Bang Bang.”  The images are visceral and the message is sorely needed today.

Next up is one of the best videos we have ever seen from Tiffany Young, and she’s provided some great ones.  This one has almost 1 million views, and it was only released on October 10.  It’s called “Run for Your Life,” and we recommend you run to watch it.

Our final video this week comes from multi-LA Music Critic Award winning duo, Lovers & Poets.  We think it just may be their most powerful one yet, and we are ready to head off on a “Sugar High.”

Artists Worth Checking Out Ten Amazing Videos Women in Entertainment

Ten amazing videos released in October 2018

It’s been a great day so far.  Miami’s stellar defense made four sacks and four interceptions, including a pick-6 that provided the margin of victory.  In addition, Indie Voice Blog has garnered more than 80,000 views in just over 38 months.  Let’s celebrate with another 10 amazing videos from the more than 100 we received this month.  Here we go!

With Election Day fast approaching, we thought it might be wise to share a music video that speaks about social issues.  Check out this lyric video from Illiterate Light for their song, “Growin’ Down.”  And don’t forget to vote!

Our next video was filmed in Bodie, California, one of our favorite ghost towns.  It is an original tune by Stone Stanley’s Jason Robert, and conceptualizes one of the legends of that famous mining town.  The cinematography is breathtaking and the song belongs in a class on California history.  Tell us what you think.

Our third video reminds us of Lenka, and features the incredible sound of Somme‘s hit “Broken Hearted Lovers.”  This one has a beat that is guaranteed to get you on the dance floor.  We hope you love it as much as we do.

Our next video is also relevant for Election Day, as Nashville’s resident punk rocker Taco Mouth provide their views on the current political scene with their anti-Trump video, “Fighting for Today.”  This one is well thought out and provides an interesting stance – let us know what you think.

Our fifth video has a very strong Emmylou Harris vibe.  We simply love the sound of New Zealand’s Mel Parsons, and her video for “I Got the Lonely.”  This one could go very far!

We start our second five videos with this amazing cinematic video for Völuspa‘s glorious ballad, “Miss You Too.”  We think this one sets a high bar and we look forward to seeing what she does next.

Video number seven is an autobiographical sketch into what it’s like to be an indie band in today’s music scene.  Check out the video for “On my Way”by City on Down.

Halloween may be over, but the spirit lives on in Maggie Lindemann‘s impressive video for her song, “Human.”  Enjoy this spooky video.

For our ninth video we go all the way to Norway for the tantalizing video by Sigrid for her song, “Sucker Punch.”  This one will give you all the energy you need for the coming week.

Our final video this month is from Canadian R&B/Pop artist Nuela Charles.  It is another spooky good video for the energetic song “Danger.”  We think it is the perfect video to segue into Election Day.  Enjoy.

NEW SINGLES

Our first single this week should get you up and ready for the new week.  Here’s Ethan Lumus and “Sex.”  As you can imagine, it is NSFW.

Next is the latest from Brooklyn-based dream pop singer Kirsten Knick aka Völuspa with the absolutely beautiful and ethereal “Feel You.”

Our third single this week comes from LA Music Critic Award winning Best International Artist Dom Fricot.  He has just released this third single from his amazing album Deserts, and we think you will enjoy “Time Flies.”

Our next single is a remix of Crayon‘s tune “After the Tone” by Duñe.  It has an upbeat soulful sound and we think you will really like it.

Our final single this week is “Malas Amistades” from internationally acclaimed vocalist Vanessa Zamora.  We love the vibe of this song, even if we don’t know what she’s saying.  Let us know what you think.

Our next lyric video is from LA powerhouse duo Smoke Season, who are preparing to take the UK by storm.  Here is their awesome single, “Sweetest Thing.”

Next is another lyric video, this time from one of our favorite male artists Stephen Michael Murphy.  Here is “Why,” and our response is “Why Not?”

Our final video this week is “Half Dreams” from futuristic pop band CROATIA.  We think this one is the perfect video to launch your week.  We’ll be back next week with more Monday Mashup.
