The second single release “Fair Green” is a groovy, strong track, which will be available on all online portals worldwide on February 11, 2020 via Enghardt Media / Edel Music.

New single: Darman “Pubblicità Riflesso”

First single excerpt from “Necessità Interiore”, third LP by Italian alt-rock act Darman (Dario Mangiacasale), “Pubblicità Riflesso” kicks in with powerful compressed basslines and scratchy vocals.

About the song, author and frontman Dario Mangiacasale comments: “”Pubblicità Riflesso” (“reflection advertisement”) is an urban cross-section, born during a walk through the streets of Turin. It’s about rebellion against a world increasingly distant from primary and necessary needs, a world totally detached from reality, in which the adoration of false and negative myths reigns, often masked as fake positive figures: a rotten mirror of a way of life in which it’s difficult to recognize oneself.”

The White Buffalo to Release New Studio Album in April

Listen to Snarls third single “What’s It Take?” via Paste Magazine

Snarls is an alternative rock band from Columbus, OH consisting of Chlo White (vocals, guitar), Riley Hall (bass, vocals), Mick Martinez (guitar), and Max Martinez (drums). Debut LP Burst finds the next charming coming-of-age story in shimmering character drama (2019 standout “Walk in the Woods”), woozy indie-pop (“Hair”), and blue-eyed existentialism (“Concrete”). Snarls’ songwriting is as unfiltered and spectral as growing into one’s own should be, but it promises just as an enchanting listen for those outside looking in. It’s no wonder MTV tried to brand Snarls’ enchanting indie rock as promising “the best of emo and shoegaze” or that the band themselves sees themselves as the forebearers of “glitter emo alt rock.” Snarls is fresh, frenzied, and worth fawning over. You’ll just have to find out on your own.
