Their latest single is an effort to disrupt your boredom, and for them it comes easy. The vocals have their own swing, creating a superb to and fro with the other parts of the song.

Sonic Rade-Masquerade
The traditional stick count in gets me in the groove instantly. Sonic Rade do exactly that, with their latest rock single called Masquerade. The Swiss band are keeping time very interestingly, and with history. This song is an effective replacement for coffee, and there are no side effects. From the verse to the chorus and back, you’re subjected to some of the best instrumental deliveries you’ll hear in indie rock. It also helps that the song has been constructed with an otherworldly precision and interest, creating a sonic delivery system to be in awe of. Listen to the song here:
SALt-Roly Moes
Bringing their post punk pop sound to us, SALt are back with another earworm. The soft opening keeps you waiting, and unique progression elements create a lot of drama. The vocals are sharp and precise, almost creating a dissonance from what is to come. The song has perfect character, asking for a certain niche in your mind to create the imagery. No drilling of the bass or other tones, you’re looking at less becoming more. It has a profound effect for the listener, making a superb song that takes SALt to the very top of the indie music ladder. Listen here:
