Young Blood – The Districts
28 February 2018
Bands like the Districts only come around once in a long time. Powerful guitars, great vocals, strong bass to bring it all together, hard hitting drums. The song, Young Blood, being almost 9 minutes long, surprisingly feels like it should be longer. The song has a great mixture of tempo change, build ups, and crazy guitar solos. Must listen.

Melodic verse and catchy hook with a chorus you can sing and dance all night to. This song embodies an easy going ‘driving down the west coast with the sunset in the background’ vibe.
Keep Going – The Revivalists
14 December 2017
This song has scat singing in it. Need I say any more?
It starts out with a cool piano and soulful vocals. Before you know it, you are sucked into the catchy beat as soon as the drums drop in. With a powerful horn section, scratchy guitars, and amazing vocals. David Shaw (lead singer) can really belt it.
Gimme All Your Love – Alabama Shakes
14 December 2017
Right from the beginning, this song will grab your attention. Strong to soft in the blink of an eye, yet it all feels so right. Brittany Howard’s vocals are one of a kind and are truly out of this world.
The combination of organ/keys with the powerful vocals is something that few bands can really harness, and the Alabama Shakes are one of them.
