Pop rock has returned to its irresistible form, thanks to Jody Aaron.
An accomplished songwriter, Jody performs some of his own compositions when not busy penning tunes for others. His debut EP Rivers, which he recently released, is one good mixed bag of treats; kudos to Scott Matthews for producing.
With the advent of sensitive singer-songwriter types, the all-important question “Who to follow?” seems harder and harder to answer as the days pass. But, to get you started, let us help you with that: Joni Fatora.
The Connecticut-born songstress is poised to conquer air waves with her debut EP, Blue Road, and our picky ears are pretty much pointing to the positive route. (Yes, Joni’s our girl.)
Lots of new acoustic acts pass by our radars unnoticed, but not Charlie Barclay.
The 22-year-old singer-songwriter is hoping to make his mark in the music scene, and his debut EP The Love You Give is a good attempt on breaking in.
Josh Garrels crafts another goldmine in Love & War: B-Sides & Remixes EP. Released last July 2012, this album features eight tracks that are beautifully anchored to the his critically-acclaimed full-length album titled Love & War & The Sea in Between.
Joy Ike is singing her way into the indie stage with Rumors. The Nigerian-born singer/songwriter shares a part of herself as an artist with ten soulfolk tracks.
In 2008, Ike left her career as a publicist and has since then played over 400 shows and has had shared the stage with Deas Vail, Butterly Boucher, Dwele, Najee, to name a few.
Indian Hill churns some good acoustic rock blues in their new self-titled release. Formed in the early 2000, Indian Hill is Kenneth Lee Ray and Novica Bozunovich. This album is a collection of some of the songs that the two composed whenever there’s a guitar around.
Chill Mega Chill Records teams up with Portals and Miscreant Records to once again pay tribute to the best season who brought us tanned lines, white sand, and the sea. Portals Summer II is an annual mixtape featuring 24 tracks from various artists.
Stripmall Architecture is a fun husband and wife duo of Rebecca and Ryan Coseboom. These two have been making waves in the electronic music scene at the Bay area for quite awhile.
Combining entertaining electronic, 80s style synthesizer music, the album is like an 80s music compilation revamped and stamped with a modern touch.
