The Brinks 'EP2' brings fresh sound to indie pop

By

The Brinks are an alternative/indie band based out of Los Angeles, California. The duo includes Scott Mellis and Matt Friedman. Their latest release of 'EP2' shows great talent and potential. The Brinks are like a breath of fresh air to indie pop, creating a mix of catchy beats and melodic vocals to form their EP. Their sound is comparable to artists such as Flor or BANNERS, and their music is definitely fit for the radio waves.

The opening song "Comatose" seems to flow effortlessly. The vocals tie the entire song together, and there is a great mixture of electronic sounds that are very soothing. The next song "Honey" showcases the band's pop style, with a catchy chorus that is sure to get stuck in your head. The song feels invigorating and lifts your mood with its upbeat sound and vocals. One of my favorite songs on the EP is "Just A Rush", because it uses a variety of drum beats and claps to create a unique beat. The vocals in this song are singable and uplifting, and the lyrics are meaningful and interesting.

Overall, The Brinks released an impressive EP, giving a fresh new sound to the indie/alternative scene. I have no doubt that they will gain an even larger following, and I am excited to see what they produce in the future. If you're looking for a feel-good indie/alternative band to listen to, I would recommend The Brinks. 'EP2' is both relaxing and upbeat, and will definitely put you in a good mood.

Tyler Carter "Pressure" Single Review

By
Written by Jade Marshall  A new single “Pressure” by Tyler Carter was released on June 28th. My overall opinion of this song is that it's a really good release. The song is great and it is such a beautiful song in a strange yet wonderful way, it’s one of a kind. The beginning of the song stood out, because you hardly hear the beat in the background but you hear his voice quite strongly, it’s really beautiful. The chorus itself is prominent, as it is saying that he needs someone who will take him as him and not put all this extra pressure on him for not being who they want. “I remember when you told me/I should go back to the old me/Before the Taylor's and the tattoos/Before the Perignon and OG.” This part stands out because it opens ups the song up and tells you right off the back what he wants. “I'm frankensteinin' they wanna put me back in the lab/If I'm gonna be grinding, if I'm gonna be making this skrill/I'm gonna do it my way, bitch get out of ...

Atlas Genius concert review

By
Hello! I have been gone for a while because I'm a lot busier now that I'm in school, but I have a lot of concerts coming up so I will be posting more frequently. I went back to Bottom Lounge in Chicago on October 5th to see Atlas Genius. I do like their music a lot, but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. I honestly wanted to go mostly because I fell in love with Bottom Lounge when I was last there to see Andrew McMahon. I always end up liking the opening acts they bring in and I love the intimate atmosphere. I hope to continue going there to discover new music. Half The Animal The first band that opened was Half The Animal. I had never even heard of them before and had no clue what they sounded like. As soon as they started I really got into them. They have an indie-pop sound, which is something I've started appreciating more recently. The lead singer, Chase Johnson, had an incredible amount of energy. He was dancing and getting into the music and the energy fr...

Bleachers concert reviews: a weekend in Chicago

By
I was lucky enough to see Bleachers on their Gone Now tour part 2 in Chicago both on November 11th and 12th, 2017. Opening for them was Amy Shark and Bishop Briggs, who I had never heard of before. The first night, Bleachers played at The Riviera Theatre, and the second night at The Vic Theatre. I had seen Bleachers live once at PIQNIQ this past summer, and I also reviewed the album Gone Now as soon as it came out, so I was very excited about these shows. I will say that Bleachers did not disappoint, these were two of the most amazing and fun shows I have ever been to. It was definitely worth waiting in the freezing cold/rain for hours to be front row both nights. Amy Shark I had never heard anything about Amy Shark's music before coming to night 1 of Bleachers, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed her and her set. Shark is an Australian indie pop singer/songwriter, who released her EP "Night Thinker" this year. Shark has no trouble carryi...
