Misterwives. The kind of unique band name that you hear one time and won’t forget. But, Misterwives isn’t just an interesting name – they are a powerhouse group embarking on their second full-length album release, and I for one could not be more excited.
I you’ve seen BØRNS live, you’re very familiar with Kristen Gleeson-Prata. The sweet, smiley but hard-hitting drummer decked out in the coolest outfits you’ve seen. “Being in BØRNS has completely changed my fashion sense,” she laughs, “I’m so grateful.”
JAIN is literally devouring the internet as we speak. Her videos for “Come” and “Makeba” are so visually stunning, her music is insanely catchy and diverse, and to top it off her live performance was one of my favorite shows I saw at SXSW hands down. I’ve been listening to ‘Zanaka’ on loop since.
In the biological world, mimicking birds, like parrots and mockingbirds, imitate the songs of other birds – or any other noises in their environment that they happen to fancy, including human speech – for the express purpose of attracting mates. The band Mimicking Birds, however, prefers to flip the script when it comes to etymology. According to front-man and songwriter Nate Lacy, the intriguing name derives mainly from the early song “New Doomsdays,” in which he gives credit where it is due via the lyric “since when we learned to fly, mimicking birds, we share the sky” and to a lesser degree from a tooth whistle he possesses that takes on an avian quality in the vocal delay. It is also the colloquial moniker he took to writing on the tapes he would record in his home long before he expected anyone to ever hear them.
Fresh off their new EP release, I.L.Y., and opening slot for COIN, we talk to Anderson College’s very own, The Wldlfe. There may not be a song I listened to more than “Text Me?” last year, so I am excited to introduce you all to the Indianapolis quartet. Jansen Hogan spoke with me about the band, the new EP, and 2017.
Okay, let’s be honest here, if you’re within the ages of 25-30, chances are you jammed out hard to We The Kings. Even now, listening to “Check Yes Juliet” brings to mind sweet summer nights cruising around with my high school bae. I fangirled so hard when I got the chance to talk to Hunter Thomsen about their tour.
If you’re an avid teen drama series fanatic, chances are you’ve heard Cat Pierce’s sultry voice on more than one instance. Being apart of the Pretty Little Liars fandom, I hear Pierce at least once a week. The show’s theme song, “Secret,” was recorded by she and her sister Allison. She and her sister Allison were both apart of The Pierces but recently CAT has decided to go solo.
COIN is an indie pop band that formed in 2012 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. Band members Chase Lawrence, synth and vocals, Joe Memmel, guitar and vocals, Ryan Winnen, drums, and Zachary Dyke, bass, make up the quartet. COIN released their first self-titled album back in 2015, with the song “Run” as a breakaway hit. With their recent hit release “Talk Too Much” charting and even holding down the #1 spot on Alt-Nation for some time, COIN is poised for a huge 2017. I talked with lead singer Chase Lawrence about the things to come, upcoming shows, and the new album.
I’m trying to remember how I first found Tigertown. I would bet that it was through a long time sifting through dreamy photos on Instagram. Their photos so perfectly convey their sparkling, colorful sound.
Noga Erez is hard to explain. Take one look at her ‘Dance While You Shoot’ video and you can see why. She’s not for everyone but I don’t think she wants to be. It’s an acquired taste but one that would follow in the paths of M.I.A. and Bjork. She makes a statement and her music stays with you. It’s entrancing and dangerous.
