Best New Rock- Thom Chapman, Revolution Above Disorder, Bad Self Portraits

Lucy Hides” is the new track from Thom Chapman. A heavy bass lies beneath gritty guitars and textural leads, and Chapman’s vocals are like the icing on the cake as they soar above the unique instrumentation.The pulsing synth that finds its way into the song at various points brings an intriguing melodic aspect that compliments Chapman’s vocals perfectly. The song attacks every focal point a song should, from its rhythmic structure to its melodic progression, it’s interesting from beginning to end.

Revolution Above Disorder caught our attention with their new song Love and War. It’s a brilliant shoegaze inspired rock vibe. The mix has wonderful presence. Nothing is buried but the affect still feels dreamy. It’s a sure thing for fans of classic bands like Slowdive and Lush, but we think it will connect with a wide rock audience. It’s simply that good.

They call themselves Bad Self Portraits but their new single I Think I’m Going To Hell does well to characterize their personalities. A moody modern indie punk vibe lands convincing courtesy of a thoughtful arrangement. The relenting swings make the drops feel more effective, while the lyrics cheeky twists the vibe fun. Stylistically we think it will connect with fans of The Boy Genius canon. Get into it.
