In this edition of LITM Rock Picks, we curate a mix of artists like 12ayo and more!
12ayo - “incompatible.”
12ayo is a young Latino artist from East Los Angeles, with Mexican and Salvadoran roots, creating music that transcends genres to deliver an emotional experience — and on his latest single, “12ayo”, he brings us a listening experience that’s pronounced by primarily an indie rock and electronic pop rock sound— and along with the Spanish lyrics and the gentle sweeps in energy throughout the song, this track creates a rewarding, engaging listening experience. Combine that with the alive, groovy instrumentation and the warm, wide open mix, and you have quite the atmosphere too! Take a listen to the track here!
The Savage Hearts - “Speeding Bullets”
Led by former Strypes drummer Evan Walsh, a secretive Cavan-based collective channels christened The Savage Hearts brings forth the best in feel-good country rock and classic rock and roll to the main stage with their latest single, “Speeding Bullets” — and throughout the track rings a high-flying fiesta of energy that’s infectious, and greatly fulfilling to listen to. With charming guitars, well-executed vocals and a solid and precise mix and master to wrap things up beautifully, this track has all of what it takes to be an ear worm, conquering the airwaves this week.

All The Nines - “The Yoddler”
Composed of Andrew Oliver and Tom Burke, All The Nines are a rock outfit based in a sound of experimental, progressive rock elements; and on their latest single, “The Yoddler”, they bring a positive, confident sound to the fore. With endless meter changes through the track to keep the listener at the edge of their seats and precise, controlled drumming, this song has a very Tool-like quality, and I mean that well; couple that with clean instrumentation and creative production, and this track is an instant groove, a paradise for the experimental rock fan.

Under Starling - “Selkie”
Hailing from the alleys of Ireland, Under Starling defines their sound as a mix of indie rock music fused with alternative and grunge elements — and on their latest single, “Selkie”, they bring an edge of pop and garage rock to the table with clean, well-executed vocals, gentle and well-mannered instrumentation, and an execution that gets the nuances of their sound just right. Throw in the vocal layers and harmonies for good measure, the solid, warm and wide mix and production, and a dynamic master, and you have quite the winner on your hands.

Ravi Amruth - “Run With Me”
A singer and songwriter based out of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, Ravi Amruth presents a fresh sound inspired by the likes of My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Matchbox Twenty — and on his latest single, “Run With Me”, he brings the mellow sounds of the mellotron together with his soulful voice and gentle acoustic guitars to create an atmosphere that’s warm, engaging, and inviting. Take in all of the fun, uptempo brass stabs and the delicious melodic writing, and you have on your hands a song that you’ll love listening to. Take a listen to the track here!
