Elements of classic emo permeate this vibe intriguingly, recalling histories of Hey Mercedes adapted with the modern inspiration of 5th wave emo fallouts. Effectively performed and expertly arranged, Wolfschmidt revitalizes the guitar while amplifying the dynamic essence of their magnetic lead singer.

They call themselves Human Potential and their new single Sun-E Corporation Teenage Anthem harkens to an innovative era in late seventies art music. They reignite an aura familiar to the advent of synthesizers in creative music. The new single is creative and refreshingly progressive. Stylistically they find the middle ground between Gary Newman and Grizzly Bear.

Sandy and the Skyway caught our attention with their new single If You Dared. Impressive guitar work intersects with youthful energy on this dynamic release. Pop punk and Jazz intersect with country rock and jam instincts. The band finds the middle ground that allows them to lean hard into their instruments while retaining a solid sense of song. We can dig it.

That’s some notable assimilation, an asset that suits their untamed approach. The latest is a brooding vamp dominant fling with big grooves meant to be played loud. The vocals are catchy, but its the persistent stomp that’ll throw you to the floor.
