Syberia: Drawing a Future

Valerie
Post-rock enthusiasts just might find a favorite in Spanish band, Syberia. Made up of Xavi Forne, Oscar Linares, Kandro Dillinger, Carlos Alonso and Oscar Caselles, these guys create a thick wall of instrumental rock that will keep you warm in the dead of winter. Gathering influences from bands like Isis, Tool, Mogwai, Mastodon and Caspian, they create a hypnotic layer of sound in each cut. Drawing a Future is the band’s debut compilation and was released last September 2012 at a name-your-price download at BandCamp.

Autodesk 123D Design

Mel
123D is a desktop 3D modeler for Windows. Unlike other 3D programs, you don't need a lot of experience to create high quality objects. It is for people who have always wanted to make cool 3D art but don't have the skills to use complicated (and expensive) software. Created by Autodesk, you'll be able to make 3D designs from scratch. This CAD program has some elements similar to those of other Autodesk software. Tools like edge tweaking, push, pull patterning and symmetry turn your projects into realistic looking models.

The Runnies: You Can’t Win

Valerie
Exploding with a raw rock sound that echoes a lofi version of Juliette Lewis and the Licks crossed with the swagger of The Doors; The Runnies have that likable dirty rock sound that makes them difficult to ignore. This Chicago trio knows how to capture an audience. Mixing 60s garage rock with a church revival feel isn't easy but they nail it sweetly thanks to frontwoman Mary McKane's strong vocal presence; some really sweet guitar riffs from partner, Russ Calderwood and drummer Brett Swinney's steady pace.

The objective of the game is to take control, and since this is a multiplayer game, you need to be good at strategy and skill.

And the Giraffe: Something for Someone

Here is yet another outstanding album from Nick Roberts and Josh Morris better known as And the Giraffe. With a Sold Out CD Package, the duo�s latest offering Something for Someone features six tracks that puts dream folk music on a pedestal. Hailing from Gainesville, Florida, the band started when the best friends/musical duo met during an orientation meeting for the University in Gainesville and decided to jam together. After a few local shows, Josh moved to Nashville and collaborated with Nick via dropbox. When Josh returned during the summer of 2011, the two were already determined to record their first EP.

The Blackfires: Live at The Cutting Room

Valerie
It’s been awhile since we featured a balls-out hard rock band here on the blog, so here’s one record you can sink your teeth into. The Blackfires – Live at The Cutting Room captures the essence of the band’s sound. From wild riffs, impressive wailing vocals and crashing cymbals, the tracks from this mini session will resonate deep and hard for many fans of 70s rock and roll.

Phil Fox: Midstreams

Valerie
Eighteen year-old producer, Phil Fox, has compiled some of his best works and put together this cool electronic ambient compilation just for you. Filled with 8 tracks that flourish in hip hop electronic beats as well as quiet sounds, the album features great flowing cuts that imbibe a smooth and relaxing atmosphere. Although there's not much about him out there; on his short profile bio on SoundCloud he states that his "setup consists of Reason, my Axiom 49 controller, 2 M-Audio BX5 sound monitors, and hopefully soon, Ableton Live." He adds that he likes creating "instrumentals, from Underground Hip-Hop, Trap, Electronic, mellow cloud-type music, and a bunch of songs I make as a joke."
