The Morning After

Trolling some US alternative radio charts for a few radio gems. Here are a few that caught my year.

Let’s start with the band NO. The California group ended up at Rifflandia last year (pictured above when I tracked them down for an interview.)

“we make some noise in a room and call it art.”

I like it…big, brooding, dark, jangly indie rock. NO.

Coral heard this one on the Alt Nation on Sirius XM and really liked it. The band is Magic Man. The New England band have a record coming out in July called Before the Waves. We’ll file this under fun anthemic pop. They are looking forward to a tour with Youngblood Hawke, Panic at the Disco and Walk The Moon. That sounds like they’ll be in good company.

Florida’s Hot Water Music has new tunes? Neat.

HWM lead singer guy Chuck Ragan is part of the National Lampoon’s European Adventure with friends of the show Billy The Kid and Northcote. Also neat.

Folk-Punk is a thing now eh?

I’ll wrap today with some EDM form Dillon Francis.  His joint with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

And his remix of Chromeo because Chromeo is so hot right now. Red hot.
