This Post-Pop band from the East Bay in Northern California might be ready for much bigger things in 2019. Featuring singer Cole Becker, Max Becker, bassist Sebastian Mueller, and drummer Joey Armstrong, the son of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, the band plays an infectious brand of Post- Punk that is ready made for arenas and festivals.

Song of the Day: Lucy Dacus – La Vie En Rose
It was a pretty good year in 2018 for Lucy Dacus having scored a critically acclaimed album with Julien Baker and Phoebe Bridgers and their band Boygenius, but 2019 may be shaping up to be even more interesting. The song “La Vie En Rose” is the first in her series of songs that will celebrate holidays. This one, Valentine’s Day.
The song that Dacus herself has called the perfect song and the tune that was made famous by Edith Piaf is having a bit of a renaissance of late having also been featured by Lady Ga Ga in A Star Is Born.

Video of the Day: Crooked Shapes – Wicked Ways
U.K. Rockers Crooked Shapes don’t release their debut E.P. until May, but we have our ears peeled. From the sounds of things it sounds like it will shape up to be a solid rock and roller of a record.
Video of the Day: Alice Wallace – Santa Ana Winds
The first video from here recently released record Into The Blue. The song tells a poignant story of the impacts of the California fires that were fueled by the Santa Ana winds. A powerful song from a grower of a record.
Song of the Day: J.S. Ondara – Torch Song
We have a sneaking suspicion that with the release of his debut album Tales of America on February 15th that J.S. Ondara just might be the next Leon Bridges.The Kenyan native settled in Minneapolis in 2013 without knowing much English and with limited guitar skills set about honing his songwriting skills. The somewhat haunting vocals come across sweet and melancholy. The sparse arrangement presented here are pretty much perfect for the song. The bandwagon is starting to get full. Jump in while there is still time.
Video of the Day: Yola – Love All Night (Work All Day)
The latest video to be released by Yola in advance of her upcoming Easy Eye Sound release.
