Nice Try Kid Releases Attics






Nice Try Kid Releases Attics 

It's not hard to admit there are plenty of new songs being released with the world in quarantine. Sometimes that can go either way of course. One thing is for sure, Attics, the newest album from Nice Try Kid, is a tremendous and almost timeless pop-punk record. They might want to change their name to something like Great Job Kid. Reason being is Attics is everything you'd want, but more than you'd expect from a band. This is obviously a heartfelt piece of work and really helps this group put their stamp on the genre. Inventive and incredibly solid from beginning to end.

Alien Neighborhood




Alien Neighborhood

One man band Alien Neighborhood rocks hard with an aggressive and insanely fun alternative rock record Walk Into The Fire. Blistering rock energy, catchy choruses, and amore than solid backbone, Alien Neighborhood doesn't fail to impress. Jaden William who plays all instruments and records all material himself is in touch with the guts it takes to really push the envelope without borders. Our favorite is the song "Walk Into The Fire" but we figure if you love one song, you'll love them all. We sure did.

Music Review “Check it out ya`ll” - Funktastic Players 
By Yami Cabrera

The music brand, Funktastic Players of Maryland, USA, is promoting their newest production “Check it out y'all Remix.” The band is led by music producer David Williams and focused on unveiling a different sound for both, this song and the style of urban music.
Funktastic Players is a new artistic project that aims to promote a modern musical fusion. They combine classic Funk sounds with elements of modern American Hip Hop. The brand is focused on their music reaching a diverse audience, but close to the environment of instrumental Jazz-Funk.
“Check it out y'all Remix” is an attractive mix of different sounds from musical genres such as Jazz, Soul, Funk, and Rap. The song reveals the musical taste of each musician involved in the recording. The funky groove of the drums, the bass, and the guitar give the track a very pleasant and peculiar sound. The jazzy turns of the saxophonist and the harmonic combinations of the piano create a unique and exquisite atmosphere.

This remix revives with good vibes "Check it out y'all", one of the most relevant songs in the American Hip Hop repertoire, popularized by bands like 2 Live Crew. In addition, the project glorifies their excellent artistic influences from bands like Sly & The Family Stone, De La Soul, Vulfpeck, The Brand New Heavies, MF Doom, and James Brown. 
Hip Hop flow is the perfect guiding thread for “Check it out y'all Remix”. The small interventions of the MC are totally consistent with the artistic objective of this new remix.
The Funktastic Players proposal is just the beginning of a project that promises to achieve an important position in the music industry. Hopefully they will continue to surprise us with new unique musical combinations such as the one presented in “Check it out y'all Remix”.

"Fainting Couch" by Himmelstarr





If you feel the need for some vintage alternative pop, look no further. Himmelstarr is here for you. The new "Fainting Couch" single spews 80's synthesized hooks and a bopping beat that gets you moving. Seriously try not to dance to this song. You just can't. This is a party track all the way through and through. Guitars swell and the vocals bend. The song feels nice and full, satisfying and fun. Take a good hard listen to "Fainting Couch" along with their portrayal of  "Pictures Of You" by The Cure at their Bandcamp page.
