THE KICKDRUMS “BREATHE AGAIN”

A little bit about the track, it really digs back into the roots Alex developed in indie rock before he came to be known more for his hip hop production. While at it’s core, the track is rock oriented, The Kickdrums’ signature use of meticulously layered synth and masterfully posited drum machine tracks are very much present. The result is a beautiful track that fuses an ethereal soundscape with pulsing drums and a huge hook.

JEZ DOIR NEW EP & REVIEW

“I’d like to introduce this grunge rap.” With those words, the drums hit, and Jez Doir’s “Heroin” really gets cooking. It’s the leadoff track on the L.A. rapper’s debut EP, The Funeral, and it’s a good indication of what’s to follow.

Due out Nov. 18 and streaming right this second at NYLON Guys, The Funeral is a moody, reflective seven-song set inspired by some unhappy days in the artist’s life.

Nicole Scherzinger premieres the music video for her new solo single “Run” on VEVO today. You can watch it here. Available on iTunes and all digital outlets now, “Run” lays the foundation for the release of Big Fat Lie, her 2015 full-length debut for Epic Records.

BO AND THE LOCOMOTIVE NEW SINGLE

It’s All Down Here From Here strikes the perfect balance between traditional and experimental. The band’s familiar-feeling pop/rock tunes might Initially appear to be straightforward, well-crafted indie-rock, but then the off-kilter melodies and unexpected instrumentation ensue, and it starts to defy easy, concise description. It’s one of those albums you just have to listen to, and maybe more than once.
