Madame Psychosis - “Foxtail”
Hailing from Toronto, Madame Psychosis is an indie rock band celebrated for their heartfelt music and staying power in the city's thriving music scene, highlighted by national TV appearances — and on their latest single, “Foxtail”, they bring their characteristic sound to the fore once more — with deep meaning in the undertones of the lyrics and singing, they present relatable, hard-hitting themes, closely soundtracked by their screaming guitars that make up the rhythm section; couple this with fun, uptempo drumming and masterful execution, and the result is an atmosphere like no other —take a listen to the track here!
My Glass World - “Compassion for Animals”
British duo My Glass World, comprising Jamie Telford and Sean Read, deliver an eclectic blend of rock, pop, jazz, and classical music — and on their latest single, “Compassion for Animals”, they present a wide open jazz rock sound with some elements of indie and synth rock — and from beginning to end, there’s quite the groove and energy to this song. With the vocal performance making for the main character, the brasses and the punchy synths elevate the sound further. Wrap this all up with a tight mix and master that brings the basses alive, and you have on your hands a runaway groove-maker; take a listen to the track here!
Dave McKendry - “Just Let Go”
A true traveller of a musician, Dave McKendry has quite the story with how his music career began; from riding bicycles around France, to fast becoming a force in the indie music industry, he presents his latest single, “Just Let Go” — an absolutely electric fusion of soulful pop music with undertones of grunge and indie rock. With wafty reverbs all across the board and energetic rhythms and grooves to keep your head bobbing, this song really does bring the all — and keeps it from start to finish. All in all, a masterfully executed track that’s worth your every penny this week! Take a listen to it here:
For You Brother - “Nice Money”
Hard rock outfit led by John Davis, For You Brother, pride themselves on a friendly, uptempo rock sound that incorporates the best of the old world with the modern production and fidelity of today’s techniques— and on their latest single, “Nice Money”, they adopt a half-sung, half rapped style that immediately takes your attention; with potent bass grooves to keep your feet tapping and some elegant chicanery happening in the rhythm guitar department, this track doesn’t take long to get stuck in your head — and when the choruses come, you’re left feeling delightfully rewarded.
