WASI can be described as a band that doesn’t try to fit into a genre check box for music as they have created their own unique sound that dances along the edges of garage punk and pop with hints of 90’s dreampop.  Put away the anti-depresessants because it really is an infectious mood elevator. Check out the lyric video for their song FIRE which is off their EP, Bleed Pop: The new EP can be purchased now via the band’s website, here: http://bit.ly/1IIjUYF.

Twin Berlin does it again with their new release, Nate’s Volvo

June 18, 2015

Punk grunge rock band, Twin Berlin from Connecticut are at it again. They have captured my attention with another one of their new songs. They have just released a catchy new track, Nate’s Volvo that brings out the nostalgia of punk rock sprinkled with grungy garage band flair.  It is raw and organic, the way I prefer my music these days! Check out their new track: Nate’s Volvo by Twin Berlin The song is off their forthcoming new album, DROWNER. We will see if we can get more details for you on the new album as I am very excited for it. In a time where music seems to be transformed and repackaged in a state so far from it’s organic beginnings, it is refreshing to see a band like Twin Berlin spotlight the raw feel of their music.   For now, visit their social media sites and while you are at it, head over to their Bandcamp page and pick up their music. ~ Marisol Information & Links: Website: http://twinberlin.net/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TwinBerlin Twitter: https://twitter.com/twinberlin Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/twinberlinmusic

Stuck In Your Radio: The Story of the King of the Come-Back Kids by Meryl DeWitt

August 25, 2014

We’ve all had that one friend that was in a dead-end garage band in high school. Stuck In Your Radio‘s story might start out the same as those guys, but it doesn’t end at Senior year. Lead singer Eddie Cardona, or as the lovable goof is more likely known as, Sly Fox has lead a life influenced and driven by music. Raised primarily in Puerto Rico, he started off not knowing English. That was, until listening to Blink 182 influenced him to pick up the langue. After moving to the states, he continued to encompass music in his life. After performing in a high school talent show, he and a few friends began a band called All Or Nothing. Eventually All Or Nothing transformed into Stuck In Your Radio, but like many high school bands, the members began taking their own paths and the band eventually drifted apart. After high school, Sly made a profession out of content creating for YouTube. His channel grew immensely and he decided to use his newfound following to revive [Read More]

New Single Buzzkill by Twin Berlin channels Nirvana

December 2, 2013

I have a very special treat for you today.  I am listening right now to Buzzkill the new single by Twin Berlin off of their debut full length album, Sleazebrain which is due out February 18th,2014.  It is unbelievably awesome! It reminds me of one of my all time favorite bands, Nirvana. Twin Berlin just exudes raw garage punk style reminiscent of early grunge days. Think garage style mixed with dirty punk and in your face rock! Vocals on the track are mysterious and multi-dimensional. The song has some nice guitar solos and I can only imagine what energy these guys give off when they perform live. You will get hooked on the solid drumming and cool bass lines.  Twin Berlin is Matt Lopez on Vocals and Guitar, Sean O’Neil on bass and James Janocha on drums. Check out their new song, Buzzkill here: [soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/120910146″ width=”100%” height=”166″ iframe=”true” /]   Twin Berlin has worked on an EP with Travis Barker(blink182) an art collaboration with Mikey Welsh (Weezer), recorded with Garth Hudson (The Band), and have been busy performing [Read More]
