Song of the Day: Everything – Feexer

 

Today’s song is Everything By Italian-born rock artist FEEXER. The single is from his debut EP, Diamonds and Defects, released in June.

Starting out last year, FEEXER released a collection of songs online and gain some exposure through SoundCloud, expanding his online fanbase. This is thanks his smooth blend of  indie pop, acoustic rock and electronica which bear strong elements of  his main influences which include NIRVANA, RADIOHEAD and A PERFECT CIRCLE.

The indie rocker is now working on new material – so expect more releases in months to come and live shows in 2015…but for now take time out and listen to Everything. If this track hit the spot, have a listen to his EP right here. Enjoy!

 

 

Song of the Day: Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something) – Let’s Say We Did

Let's say we did

Today’s song is Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something) by Swedish Lo-Fi band, LET’S SAY WE DID. The single is coming from their four-track EP, Such A Shame released in May.

With strong influences  from American indie bands in the 1990’s, LET’S SAY WE DID has created guitar based, lo fi indie pop since 2008. Having risen from the ashes of previous projects, the five-piece band began perfecting and releasing music on their own record label Nesna Records. To date they have released two albums, three EPs, a series of singles and appeared on several compilation albums.

In addition to festival appearances such as at Umeå Open, Island in the Sun and Rookiefestivalen in Hultsfred, these smooth indie pop rockers have performed at numerous club gigs around Europe. Their smooth, chilled out productions earned them a personal invitation by British band YUCK as support act at their release party for the album, Glow & Behold . The band’s invitation extended to a collaboration as frontman Sebastian soothing vocals are featured on YUCK’s latest EP, Southern Skies.  As a band, LET’S SAY WE DID  collaborated with other acts such as WITHERED HAND, IDA MARIA and TOP SOUND.

Now I brought you up to speed with the band, have a blast at Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something). They’re one of the few bands today who put that real smoothness back into rock with the perfect balance of the drum and guitars.

If you like the sound of Won’t You Please (Tell Me Something), it’s worth checking out their latest EP, Such A Shame

 

Song of the Day: Not Afraid – Vagabond Flag

Vagabond Flag Not afraid

Today’s song is Not Afraid by UK indie rock act, VAGABOND FLAG. The single is coming from the upcoming album, out on 14th July.

Drawing inspiration from the likes of OASIS and THE PIXIES, this London rocker uses music to express his political views. He was particularly affected by the 9/11 terror attack in New York and it was these kinds of thoughts that gave the guitarist and songwriter inspiration for his music to put these views across.

Released 16th July, Not Afraid gives a great insight of how he vents his views against the raging, angry guitars. Go on, have a listen!

Also say hi @VagabondFlag

The Fireflys release repeat
Today’s song is Release/Repeat by British four-piece rock band THE FIREFLYS. The single is set for release on 26th May.

I remember reviewing the Runcorn rockers’ 2013 album, Embers of the Autumn on Nothing But Hope and Passion (NBHAP) Music Magazine  and it’s SO intriguing to see what they have been up to…. 

Since the release  of Embers of the Autumn (5th August), THE FIREFLYS played at, O2 Academy Liverpool, their biggest biggest headline to date, as well as enjoying the media attention. The morning after their performance at the O2, they played a live set in the BBC Merseyside studio and also earned a double page spread in one of the biggest publications near their home town, The Liverpool Echo.

Embers Of The Autumn  entered the iTunes Chart at #8 upon hours of its release, and entered the Radio Caroline Chart at Number 35 and is currently at #17. The single Hummingbird was played on BBC introducing by Dave Monks prior to the release of the LP.

As I was typing out their achievements, It left a tear in my eye (don’t laugh!)

Moving swiftly on… have a listen to Release/Repeat. Their trademark of that easy-cruising rock will be added to their ever-expanding list of achievements. If you’re really digging the track, show your appreciation and say hi to them at @thefireflys.
