Dustbowl Revival – Set Me Free
“When the bass is right, as the basis for almost any song or track, it rarely can anything go wrong. This is the case with this song, perfect bass, just as good vocals and mood is set for dancing shoes or singing in your car, alone, driving from work, with notnhing but me time on your hands. ”

A hypnotic funk-infused track, ‘Set Me Free’ strays from Dustbowl Revival’s Folk/Americana feel that they are known for, but does so exceptionally. Even with darker lyrical themes of infidelity and death, Dustbowl Revival creates a beautiful, upbeat track that you won’t be able to stop yourself from dancing to!

Efi Cruise – Dont Listen
“Vocals are the lead main part of this song and they are great. But the thing I like the most is the other, small parts, samples and how they are used. Specially that lower piano note, that is setting a different mood but its so perfectly positioned. Love that synth/string alike sound at the end, really, details on this one is pure bliss. ”

Maple Run Band – “Tears of a Fool”
“Music in Alt Country as a state of complete freedom. The flight of thought, the flight of feelings and a simple, but mental melody, which at a great speed runs through the wires in your homes. Turn around, perhaps -Maple Run Band- already at the threshold of your heart with your new single!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Музыка в жанре Alt Country как состояние полной свободы. Полёт мысли, полёт чувств и простая, но душевная мелодия, которая на огромной скорости бежит по проводам в ваши дома. Обернитесь, возможно -Maple Run Band- уже у порога вашего сердца со своим новым синглом!”
-Nagamag.com
Used To Be The Next Big Thing opens with its title track, a driving, jangly roots-rock ripper about a Nashville musician on the brink of success that never comes, an expertly woven tale of the tragedy that occurs when the commodification of art takes the place of expression. From there, the record moves to the stripped-down acoustic country ballad “Loretta,” a eulogy for a lost companion inspired by The Louvin Brothers and Billy Joe Shaver that showcases Crist’s ability to blend genuine emotional expression with clever witticisms.
Elsewhere on the album, such as on the honky-tonk piano-led “Tears of a Fool,” Crist channels artists like Ray Price and Roger Miller to create a classic country barroom shuffle about regret and self-loathing. Occasionally, Maple Run Band do wade into the pool of sincerity, like on the album’s sweeping, seven and a half minute long closer, “Sunny Day,” which finds Crist singing in earnest about the need for support through dark days and belief in a brighter future. “‘Sunny Day’ was the quintessential pandemic song,” says Crist. “I literally wrote it to make myself feel better and to be like, ‘This shit is going to be over someday…right?’ But even with that, I wanted to write it more from the perspective of a character, not just my own perspective.”

Kuri – I Don’t Wanna Sing About Love
“Time signature feels so good and different here or it might be just how the drums are played and what ever it is, is is just amazing. Vocals are in perfect blend, love the harmonies, how everything is where it should be, production at its finest. ”
-Nagamag.com
“I Don’t Wanna Sing About Love” expertly captures Kuri’s mix of earworm pop melodies and adventurous soundcraft, combining the two for a gem that is full of lush melodies and dreamy allure.

Rebounder – Young Folks
“Singing guitars, a bright attack of the rhythmic indie pop, accompanied by a voice that attracts all the attention. The chorus sounds like a thunder among a clear sky and involuntarily pay attention to how a smile blooms on your face. A positive track from funny and kind guys from the group -rebounder-!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Пение гитар, яркая атака ритмичного Indie Pop в сопровождении голоса, который приковывает к себе всё внимание. Припев звучит как гром среди ясного неба и непроизвольно обращаешь внимание, как на лице расцветает улыбка. Позитивный трек от весёлых и добрых ребят из группы -Rebounder-!”
-Nagamag.com
Today, Dylan Chenfeld and his downtown indie power-outfit, Rebounder, have once again flexed an indisputable flair for timely cover selection.
In the thick of a sneering indie sleaze revival, Chenfeld and Co. have come correct as true connoisseurs of the era, forgoing tired renditions of “Maps” in exchange for Peter Bjorn & John’s forgot-how-well-you-knew-it anthem, “Young Folks.”
The band debuted it last Summer at a buzzy McKibbin roof rager reminiscent of the blog-rock runoff that once made the neighborhood famous. But after a year of pounding it out to sleaze-revivalists nationwide, the band is putting the moment to bed with a self-recorded release of the song mixed by Danny Parra (The Neighborhood).
From the opening snare fill, as unmistakable as Like a Rolling Stone’s to the Urban-shoplifter set, Cobey Arner (pedigreed photographer moonlighting as the best drummer you know) sends the era out to sea in salutary Viking tribute. After all, what better tune to soundtrack the credits sequence than the one that scored the opening moments of ‘Gossip Girl?’
It’s been a marathon year for Rebounder, including this Spring and Summer’s full back-to-back US tours with Joy Again and Last Dinosaurs, but their tireless pace has seen Spotify listenership explode to over 450k per month.

Sidewalk Swingers – Lai Lai
“With this you can hear from the start how good all the musicians are, every single instrument is amazing at its own and together they are forming this magnificent tune. I don;t know why, but this song reminded me of a movie The Sting, just it is a first images I had in mind with the first notes from here. ”
