New York hip-hop/electro pop duo SOHO KINGS have dropped their second full-length mixtape, The Climb last month. Hosted by DJ Absolut, the 14-track project displays their ingenious trademark of explosive mix of hell rising rock, pop, EDM and hip-hop. Check out The Climb right here.

After the success of his most recent single Not Afraid, VAGABOND FLAG is due to release the second single, Those Old Days.
In his latest offering, the London-based rocker addresses taking a retrospective look on life – the benefits of being older and confident, whilst also growing more and more cynical. The four-minute production also addresses the excitement and innocence of youth, before it fades and pleads not to forget the beauty of impeccability and naivety that we are all blessed with when we are young.
The track is perfectly topped off with soaring guitar riffs and laid back vocals that possess a reminiscent quality of 90’s British rock music.
Those Old Days is due for release on 15th December , with the album coming out on the 12th January.
If you’re a fan of the MUSE and PORCUPINE TREE, then I have a sneaky feeling you’ll like ARGOVIA.
The Venezuelan rock duo unleashed their debut EP, Lost Letters late last month, in which they described each emotionally fuelled songs as ‘ love letters that’s never been sent’. So expect the angelic presence of the keyboard and tranquil vocals with an almighty splash of post alternative metal and grunge. Enjoy!

I came across this little treasure which comes in the form of a four-track EP, Childhood Home, by London – based panoramic rockers THE HEALING.
Why is this EP a real treasure? It’s just good wholesome music, nothing less. Consisting of Jim Moreton (vocals, guitar), Nicolas Py (drums), Sam Thiery (bass) and Ariel Moreton (harmony vocals), the band pull together a perfect mix of melodic guitars and drums with groovy rock undertones and dreamy vocals that reflect on the years of a rollercoaster childhood.
Their stamp on soft rock have been widely compared to heavyweights, NEIL YOUNG, WILCO, LED ZEPPELIN KURT VILE, LUCINDA WILLIAMS and THE BEATLES – but after listening to this EP, I can’t help but think there’s a slight feel of 1970’s FLEETWOOD MAC.
Have a listen and see if you agree.

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!
