Danny Suede shares the sun-kissed new tune, "shadows on the pavement"

Bursting out from Spokane, United States, is Danny Suede, who has recently released his new track titled "shadows on the pavement". The new offering from the American singer-songwriter has already shot to the top of his most popular songs on Spotify, and I can easily tell why from the very first minute. ... a shimmering, uplifting slice of bedroom pop that feels made for sunny days. The opening sequence of the song is a delicate balance of acoustic guitar mixed with his serene vocals and a dash of electronic pulses just to get you all warmed up. For me, the fusion of bedroom pop and alternative pop sounds reminded me of an early Ed Sheeran as he was about to take over the British music scene. With that in mind, it sounds like Danny is also going in that direction. It is such an uplifting track and has brilliant shimmering moments that make this an unmistakably top pick for your Sunkissed playlists. He is an artist who is on the rise, so be sure to listen to him as soon as you...

Olivia Booth drops her alt-rock banger, "FROZEN"

Manchester-based rising artist Olivia Booth has today delivered a fierce alt-rock punch with her striking new single "Frozen." The track just came out hours ago, but thankfully we got a pre-release stream. I can personally say that I have been enjoying it for the last week since I first landed my ears upon it. It's got an incredible intro that highlights her emotion and vocal prowess from the get-go. As soon as the drums come in, the track steadily builds with extra layers of guitar and a haunting synth tone that just buzzes away in the background before it ultimately erupts at the 1.5-minute mark into an incredibly strong indie rock cut. ... a fierce, gritty alt-rock track bursting with Manchester indie energy and powerful vocal prowess. There's that undeniable Manchester indie grit in the song, and it has a tremendous amount of indie rock energy that is just swirling around the scene in the UK at the moment. There are a lot of acts that are rising out of the Manches...

Maddison Breen drops the emotive new cut, "swings and roundabouts"

Coming out of the scene in the Gold Coast, Australia is singer-songwriter Maddison Breen, and today sees the release of the striking new single, "swings and roundabouts". I'd like to just start off with some initial notes from when I first heard the track. The intro alone reminded me of the very best piano-driven tracks that Coldplay have ever released and also gave me massive nostalgic moments for the late 2000s (when the likes of Keane were dominating the airwaves in the UK). ... a striking, nostalgia-infused alt-pop single blending cinematic piano lines with Britpop-inspired vocal emotional weight. Vocally, this sounds like a better version of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and is far more polished in terms of the quality of her voice and the notes that she can hit and the emotions, too. Having been born in the UK, she has certainly got a big influence from the Britpop scene, and you can certainly hear that here, with tones that even sound like The Beatles in places. If th...

blue pablo shares his new alt-pop gem, "i am a telepath"

Coming out of Albuquerque in the USA is blue pablo, and the new single is a sharp slice of alt-pop. The new single comes in a long line of solid single releases, and when this track opens up, it reminds me almost of The Neighbourhood in places, but with more of an alternative pop underpinning. ... a harp, atmospheric slice of alt-pop fusing deep synth lines with soaring guitar hooks. I really do like the deep and thick synth lines that act as the base of the track, and when they interweave with the tremendous guitar hooks, it really helps to bring together the whole track. It's a really fun track and even though it sounds dark in places, it's quite an upbeat slice of music. If you wanted a track to get into the artist with, then this could be a perfect example of what they are all about. I really loved the haunting melodies that are throughout the song, especially from the midway point onwards. Another highlight for me was towards the final minute of the track, where the vocals...

The XX reveal video for "On Hold (Jamie XX Remix)"

At the end of 2016, The XX announced their return and news of a new album, "I See You" with the lead single "On Hold" and the track has quickly gone on to become one of The xx’s biggest songs to date. Today, the band’s very own Jamie XX reveals his "On Hold" remix, which is his first official remix in over four years. It comes accompanied by a 'remix video' from Alasdair McLellan, who made the original 'On Hold' video Want to have your music on It's All Indie? Click here for how to do so!

teenweek reveals their jangly new song, "Open Tryouts"

Coming out of Berlin is a jangly indie outfit, teenweek, and their new single from them is a dreamlike, nostalgic piece, "Open Tryouts". To me, the song sounds like a very jangly and 80s-inspired track with moments that are like Future Islands, Royal Otis, and Real Estate in places. ... a mesmerising, 80s-inspired indie track shimmering with sun-bleached guitars, uplifting synth textures, and dreamy nostalgia. It's very mesmerising with breezy, sun-bleached guitar and synth tones, alongside a very dreamy main vocal that is quite uplifting in places. There's no doubt this is such an infectious track, and those underlying synth textures really help to bring the best out of the track. They are certainly one of the best bands to come out of Germany in the last year or so. Even though they have put out just a trio of singles, I feel like this three-piece indie rock band has plenty of life in them yet. Be sure to check out this song and their previous tracks as soon as you ...

Adam Giles Levy unveils his rippling new track, "Dopamine"

Barcelona-based singer-songwriter Adam Giles Levy has shared his second release of the year, "Dopamine". The track kicks off with some epic vocal hooks and a sliding guitar tone that reminds me of KONGOS' "Come With Me Now", and as soon as the main vocals come in, the guitar slides away and becomes a blues-infused rock track that is big and pop-orientated in every direction. ... a raw, explosive blues-rock hit driven by rippling basslines, sliding guitars, and dynamic, rip-roaring energy. I really liked the bassline in this, with it rippling through my ears on the first play. On that first play, I found myself having my jaw dropped to the floor with how grand and expansive it sounded. It's a full-on track that has got lots of dynamic moments and explosive sections that will keep you guessing every which way. If you like the sound of KONGOS, Jack White, and even The White Stripes and Royal Blood, then this is going to be a rip-roaring track that you'll lo...

Rohini Rege shares the captivating new song, "Rock bottom"

Austin-based singer-songwriter and producer Rohini Rege has released a real gem of a new track: "Rock Bottom". I'm getting very big Santigold "Disparate Youth" vibes from this song with the violin plucks and how cinematic that sounds. This, too, is a sweet pop song that is rather dynamic, with a subtle electronic and art pop edge to it. ... a dynamic, cinematic art-pop single pairing atmospheric synth textures with intricate, harmonised vocal prowess. The vocals on this are awesome, and I can easily see why she has tens of thousands of plays on her music already. It also acts as the third single she's released this year, serving as a captivating preview of her upcoming debut album titled "Yours". It's very atmospheric in places too, with the latter third of the track showcasing her vocal prowess. It eventually ends on a very playful synth tone and layers and layers of her vocals harmonising with one another. This is yet another great act to com...

The Lunar Keys return with their epic new tune, "Sinner"

Guildford's own The Lunar Keys make an epic return with their new tune, "Sinner". The new track is just their second release of the year, but it is certainly going to go down as one of their best offerings to date. The band has hundreds of thousands of listens on Spotify, and this new track is certainly going to be adding plenty to that total. ... a razor-sharp, 3-minute indie rock anthem packed with soaring vocals, roaring chorus guitars, and melodic grit. The track was made alongside Grammy-winning producer Brendan Dekora (Foo Fighters, Muse), and it's a bit more laid-back compared to some of their other tunes, but this new single at least focuses a lot on the more melodic side of things. Also, it features some epic vocal moments alongside some roaring guitars in the chorus. It's, once again, another razor-sharp and gritty offering from the band, with this 3-minute epic showcasing everything great about them. If you like your rock music, then this is a great tra...

Bash Co. share their new track, "Dungeon"

Hailing from V.N. Gaia, Portugal, Bash Co. delivers a profoundly moving piece with "Dungeon". Right from the get-go, the charming guitar sounds remind me almost of The Cranberries, but as soon as those vocals come in, it seems a bit more pop-leaning—something that the likes of Ed Sheeran would sound like if he were more rock. And do not take that as any disregard for the act , but the vocals are so sweet, and what produced it sounds like one of the best in the game. ... an easy-listening pop-rock track blending sweet vocals, atmospheric soundscapes, and explosive soaring guitars. It's a stunning pop track that mixes in soft rock and has a real easy-listening sound to it, helping new listeners ease into the track from the very first play. As the track progresses, you can certainly hear more of an atmospheric feel to it, and it certainly ends that way. Towards the latter third of the track, you are welcomed with soaring guitars, soaring vocals, brilliant drum fills, and an ...
