Check This: Owen Duff – Nobody Loves a Tortured Soul (remix)
Using the Sesame Street theme song as a through theme, this sunny pop ballad full of cynical lyrics floats along in a Ben Folds style.
Check This: The Vernes – Maybe I’ll Feel Better When I’m Dead
Their brand of indie is infectious approaching shoegaze but big in sound with heavy use of cymbals, tasteful synth/drum machine, and clever guitar and bass play that blend so well with the unique pitch of the vocals.
Check This: Rare Americans – Cats, Dogs & Rats
A gloriously messy, catchy chunk of grimy pop punk goodness.
Check This: Charlie Lane – The Darkest Time
A sunny pop tune with melancholy in the lyrics and tone, the song laments the most hated day- Monday.
