Eva on the Western Castle Island: The Wong Way EP

Eva on the Western Castle Island might not be the most catchy band name out there but it is charming especially when it's accompanied by great music. This simple record is more than just indie pop. It's a lush compilation that warms up the thought and squeezes some melodies out of your bones during those cold winter days. The band is made up of lead singer, Eva Wong, joined by assist Eero Vesterinen, guitarist Ilkka Saarinen as well as drummer Martin Linnankoski. Together, they create a sound that incorporates fun pop sensibilities and a bit of that rockish vibe.

It’s simple yet compelling.

The Zombie Dandies

Short, loud and energetic are the best words to describe this raucous EP from The Zombie Dandies. These two Frenchmen are obviously fans of the Motley Crue-era punk rock. Creating this nice, fast paced combo of guitars and vocals; the EP is a great picker-upper if you’re feeling like a sleepy head.

Deity

Deity is a stealth action game from developer Double++. It uses an isometric view, and while it’s a short game, it’s still pretty good and enjoyable. The mechanics are also very simple and easy to get into. You play a demon and your objective is to infiltrate the temple of angels, and it’s a lot of fun.
