RELEASE PREMIER
Yemily Releases A Heartfelt "Blue Ballerina" EP
Alien Neighborhood Is Grunge With Heart
A fresh new release from singer-songwriter alt pop artist Matt Himmelstein touches on classic rock elements and crosses it with a slight alternative tone. A deepening song that grows brings a certain level of honesty and twins it with orchestrated progressions that make this song feel like it should be in a film. A personal track with a swelling percussion and a chorus that sticks with you very well. One of the great things about this track is that you want to replay it again as soon as it ends. This seems like a new step for Himmelstein as the track is a bit of a far cry from his previous work being much heavier rock. A moving trackwell built from the songwriter.

The Byways Drop Their "Something To Prove" EPNew York based indie pop rock out fit The Byways just dropped their new EP dubbed "Something To Prove" and it's packed with varying styles of songwriting all built from a rock and pop foundation. Though all four songs on the release are quite notable, the main song of focus "Believe In Me" is a shining example of clean addictive pop music. Focusing on struggles anyone can understand, the song features some soulful guitar work and loads of vocal harmonies brightly woven together as a polished lining for the song. The entire EP is an outspoken powerhouse of driving tracks. You can catch the video for another great track from the EP called "How Did We Get Here" at Youtube.
