Action News Team is as eclectic as can be with their new record, How to Defend Yourself Against Fresh Fruit. The album comes with a host of blues, rock, jazz and alternative punk sounds that seem tossed inside one giant blender and turned into a smoothie.

This is the latest from the roster and the second one to be featured here in the blog. You'll discover a world of boozy dance club vocals, wailing guitars as well as 70s inspired Doors vibe circling all around.

Mixing pop, indie, folk and a tad bit of rock on there, Arsonics is an interesting record that resounds with a certain raw appeal. The man behind Kanoi is Austrian musician, Benjamin Kantschieder.

Chantilly: Up To the Moon EP

Valerie
Armed with sweet and powerful vocals, Chantilly's Up To the Moon EP booms and crashes like the Brooklyn singer's sunny and quirky disposition. This is one of those compilations that automatically make you smile and feel elated even if you're listening to it the first time. Up To the Moon EP is a compilation of 5 self-written tracks. This is a first for the singer and it's easy to tell that that she definitely has something up her sleeve. Her vocals and witty lyrics echo of lost loves, memorable summer times and of course, a general self-reflection that can only come from the mind of a witty and fun loving girl.

Kori: Nightgame

Valerie
Israel-born singer/songwriter Kori is a self-taught musician who enjoys experimenting between genres of rock, indie and pop music. Moreover, the artist also dabbles in photography and painting on the side. Nightgame is among his latest release. Like his previous records, he plays all of the instruments by himself. There�s a couple of genres he explores in the record but mostly his sound echoes a brooding alternative rock sound. He couples it with deep, almost one-tone vocals that add a darker mood to the tracks.
