##### Tangerines – “You Look Like Something I Killed”

London-based **Tangerines** are an electrifying indie psychobilly quartet with chugging
guitars, rolling bass lines and thunderous drumming similar to Black Lips and the
late 70’s Talking Heads era – all fronted by the tangible vigor and verve of vocalist**
Gareth Hoskins**’ signature snarl, on the band’s debut single, “You Look Like Something
I Killed.”

“The feel of the song is set within those fine lines of despair and self satisfaction,
thrusting our evil ways to the very limit and questioning how far can a man really
be pushed before he blurts out all of his desires,” Hoskins told _NME_.

Tangerines sound much like an American garage rockabilly band from 1950s suburbia(
where the neighbors are calling parents, rather than cops), but in the modern age.
If that makes sense.

And it appears that it is no accident, as _DIY_ pointed out: “[Tangerines] relish
in a bonkers, bruising Americana. Where other groups with similar influences might
lay back in wooziness and relish in the lazy-day sunshine, though, Tangerines descend
into madness…” on “You Look Like Something I Killed” a “sun-stroke addled slice 
of batshit brilliance.”

All of that is true, and so are various other adjectives for a band that has such
a forceful and commanding presence on audio and video, we can certainly understand
why their shows are popular. As a matter of fact, the band is selling out shows 
across London and the surrounding burbs and cities. Hopefully, it’s only a matter
of time that they land in NYC and do some touring in the U.S.

##### Connor Roff – “Turn On The Dark”

British-born, Canadian citizen folk pop artist **Connor Roff**‘s earthy acoustic
tones and well-honed voice come out on his new single, “Turn The Dark On,” the follow
up track to his successful release of the title track from Roff’s debut album, _Chasing
Dreams_.

Roff’s well-polished sounds emote deep-seeded feelings and experiences with a voice
that demonstrates a wide range, spanning from heartfelt fragility to soaring refrains.
He plans to tour the UK this spring. His musical influences includes James Bay and
Hozier.

##### The Bourgeois – “Black Church Or No Church”

Guitarist, singer and songwriter **Zach Mobley** and drummer **Ty Clark** grew up
in rural **Oklahoma** where they coped with the oppression of the Bible Belt in 
different ways. Mobley (guitar/vocals) spent much of his adolescence holed up inside
listening to punk rock and plotting his escape, while Clark, who also found solace
in music, got caught up in the nation’s growing opiod epidemic.

After a stint in prison, Clark turned his life around, met up with Mobley through
an ad, and the two founded their band, **The Bourgeois**. Recently, bassist Vance
Young was added to complete the trio. The guys draw their influences from bands 
like Nirvana, The Talking Heads, The Smiths and The Violent Femmes.

The video for their first single, “Perverting The American Dream,” was produced 
by **Delo Creative** (The Flamling Lips, Broncho) and has racked up more than 200,000
plays. The band is working on their sophomore album expected to drop sometime later
this year.

Their new single and video is “Black Church Or No Church” is quite interesting and
definitely shows their rock and roll talents and ethos.

##### Jamie Borrowdale – “I Need Music”

Singer-songwriter **Jamie Borrowdale**‘s new single, “I Need Music,” opens with 
a haunting audio scene – howling wind and violins – before the dance beats, funk-
inspired rhythms, rock guitars, indie pop elements, scratches and rap sequences 
jump in and take over for a sonic journey where you might be dancing the whole way.
It certainly makes it hard for critics to pigeonhole his genre or target audience.

After gaining recognition from the _BBC_, Borrowdale has received an enthusiastic
reception from fans on his UK tour while making his name increasingly known internationally.
He pulls from musical influences that include Led Zeppelin, Plan B and Rudimental.

##### Tom Shaner – “Vanessa The Vegan Murderess”

**Tom Shaner** is a New York musician who just released a new music video for his
terrific new single with the awesome title, “Vanessa The Vegan Murderess,” from 
Shaner’s new release, _I Hate To See Your Spirit Fade_, produced and mastered by
Grammy winner **Brian Lucey** (The Black Keys, Beck, The Shins, The Arctic Monkeys).

The album was recorded mostly in **Williamsburg**, with some parts recorded in Ireland
and Vermont. His songs range from rockers, ballads, waltzes and cinematic stories.
His sound ranges from influences like Leonard Cohen and Radiohead, with deeper music
roots in American acoustic and electric blues, Sun Records, the British Invasion,
punk, new wave, hip hop, and indie rock.

##### My Silent Bravery – “Ride With Me” (Nelly)

**Boston** musician **Matthew Wade** has been performing as **My Silent Bravery**
for the past 10 years to inspire people with a fun, positive, and uplifting message.
Nelly’s “Ride With Me” has always been a fan favorite at MSB live shows so Wade 
wanted to bring this cover to life and share the good times he has singing this 
song with all of his fans and anyone else, we assume, that would want to see it.

His new album was produced by **Anthony Resta** (Collective Soul, Guster, Shawn 
Mullins) and **Warren Huart** (Aerosmith, The Fray, Augustana).

memorable single, “Again.”

Euphony-Machine.jpg)

##### The Euphony Machine – “Trial & Error Ravenous”

**The Euphony Machine** is an example of the sounds that can be produced in ‘The
Euphony Room,’ a studio run by musician **Mike Smith** from **Vineland**, New Jersey.
Along with help from close friends, Smith crafts eclectic, passionate music as found
on the interesting single, “Trial & Error Ravenous,” featuring Eric Shorter and 
Marty Maar.

##### Justin DiFebbo – Skin and Bones

**Philadelphia** musician Justin DiFebbo‘s sophomore release, _Skin and Bones_, 
set to drop next month, is more of the seductive, dreamy music found on his acclaimed
debut,_ Turn Out The Light, Turn On The Stereo_.

DiFebbo’s style brings to a festive table the songwriting sensibilities of Brian
Wilson and The Beach Boys, the vocal vulnerabilities of Neil Young and the simplistic
complexity of artists like Simon and Garfunkel. It is a fitting comparison. His 
new singles, “Blue Melody” and “Adrift” feature “Good Vibrations”-like organ riffs,
The Doors’ style electric piano solos on songs like “Riders On The Storm,” as well
as tremolo guitars and booming bass. His vocals, such as on “Adrift,” are soft and
yet high pitched.

DiFebbo definitely is channeling a bygone era when music was more organic and trail-
blazing. He also plays with the band Summer Fiction.
