independent thoughts on indie rock, alternative, and indie pop music
The latest additions to the East of 8th Spotify Playlist featuring tracks from Gabe Dixon, Kandle, Rhett Repko, Tom West, Raye Robinson, and Layla Frankel!
Air Drawn Dagger’s recent release, “My Murder of Crows,” gives us a full blast of the trio’s electronic-infused, emo-steeped, pop-punk-tinged brand of pop rock. Sounding straight out of an 80’s arcade or movie soundtrack, The NEW Luke Harris remix adds frantic synth and a pulse-racing electronic drumbeat.
With “In Standard Definition,” Art d’Ecco questions modern pop culture through catchy, throwback, glam rock jams. Many of the tracks are simply infectious: loaded with guitar fuzz, creative exploitation of synth, and downright dance-worthy beats.
With Grecian Urn, L.A. post-punk rock band Adult Books gives us a record that’s brooding yet unoppressive in its angst.
The light at the end of the tunnel got a little brighter this week as The Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival announced its lineup for 2021!
