Having the ability to create something different and fresh will grab attention. Music fans are always looking for something new and it seems like our recent discovery Cam Rostami has just the thing for them.

The emerging artist began his career as a child actor. This gave Cam Rostami an inside look into how the entertainment industry works. He soon learned how to play piano and guitar and would write music to go along with his films. The passion for music only grew and Cam would move to Los Angeles to immerse himself in the scene. 

Here Cam Rostami developed his own unique sound. Meshing multiple genres with an indie rock feel has garnered him a slew of fans gobbling up his emotion-fueled sound. Comparisons have been made to alternative pop artists such as Joji, Grimes, and Local Natives. The scene is growing and Cam Rostami is on pace to be a major part of it.

The latest single “Kids Get Paid” by Cam Rostami is the next step in his growth. The fresh yet nostalgic track hits hard with a catchy energy that draws you in. The jangly guitar pairs with excellent electronic production to fill the full soundscape. The fun vocal delivery of Cam has an intoxicating style that just pulls the listener into his spell.

‘Face The Day’ With Neel Cole & Southern St

Blending together different genres has a way of getting new music noticed. Fans of each genre can be drawn into the mashup with an appreciation for the genres that they do not have much experience with. Basically opening up the music space to all. The best music is experiencing new things in sound. Our recent discovery Neel Cole & Southern St seem to be at the forefront of a fresh new sound.

The now full band based out of Austin, Texas was originally a simple solo project of David Neely (aka Neel Cole). Paring with Kenneth Simmons on Bass, and Pedro Duquense on Drums in 2018 the project grew to be called Neel Cole & Southern St. Together they developed a sound that they call ‘Inspirational Texas Grunge.’ Inspirations can be heard from Rock, Grunge, Blues, and Country. And Truly Texas large!

Get Ready For Neel Cole & Southern St.

The development of the unique Texas sound continued to emerge with the addition of Wen Thai Liu on bass. Neel Cole & Southern St are now striving to make 2021 their breakout year with the release of new single “Face The Day.” The track opens with a definite Texas Country sound with guitar and emotional vocals. It soon evolves into an all out grunge rocker with strong drums to pick up the energy. Neel Cole’s vocals match that energy with angst as well. The band’s ability to cover this variety of genres within one song is truly amazing. We even get a fancy guitar solo to round it out. Fans of all these genres can sit back and enjoy.

Michael J Foxx and Sydney Sexton Are True ‘Champions’

The passion and determination of certain artists always shines through. Creating meaningful music consistently is not an easy task. But when an artist is willing to put in the hard work and devote their life to the art, it shines through. Our friend Michael J Foxx is one such artist. He has returned to end the year with another inspirational track in “Champion.”

The hip-hop recording artist and producer was born in Harlem, NY. With an early love for music, Michael J Foxx attended NYU to graduate with a degree in Audio Engineering and Production.  He has since resettled in Moncton, N.B., Canada. Here he has drawn supreme talent to his style, most notably Sydney Sexton. Together they have been able to release a string of solid tracks sprinkled with different genres to set themselves on a trajectory towards stardom.

The latest Foxx-Sexton collaboration in the single “Champion.” The smooth background beat is set on the attack with the spitfire verse of Foxx. Sexton comes in for the chorus to bring the track to a new sonic level. Although based in the sports world, “Champion” is an anthem for everyone. As Foxx says “Champions harbor the ability to cope with setbacks and obstacles. They also have the strong will to succeed and overcome any failures that come their way. It is their strong belief in themselves that keeps them mentally adept and resilient.”

A solid music video accompanies the song. It was filmed at Don’t Blink Boxing Gym located in Dieppe NB. Everyone is welcome to be a Champion as long as they are willing to put in the work. By now we all know that Michael J Foxx and Sydney Sexton have that will.

Continue to keep an eye and ear out for more of them.

Music You Should Know Recommended by Indie Band Guru Review Video

VALLEY Says It “Sucks To See You Doing Better”

Indie-pop outfit VALLEY have released their six-song EP sucks to see you doing better.

Who Is Valley?

Valley is the newest band out of Toronto you should be paying attention to. Comprised of Rob Atlas, Karah James, Mikey Brandolino, Alex DiMauro – the group have formed an organic buzz through a personal and intimate connection with their fans. That relationship has helped the band generate nearly 54 million streams on Spotify alone. While their breakout single, “There’s Still A Light In The House,” has gathered 16 million streams on its own

Watch The Latest Video…

Rooted in a white-knuckle work ethic, VALLEY tirelessly strives to create juxtaposition. Comprised of four perfectionists going to painstaking efforts to ensure that every note they create can impact a listener and every word they write can positively affect the world, their self-assigned obsessions often leave them feeling paralyzed by the weight of the expectations.

Their Sound…

Their upbeat and sparkling indie-pop hooks, which are built to vibrantly spiral around a listener’s headphones noticeably contrast the deeply-profound emotionally charged lyrical imagery they create. However, despite lingering in conversations about mental health trouble spots, like feelings of hopelessness, dusting off after heartbreak, and feeling insignificance in a digital world, VALLEY have rejected apathy, despair and lethargy, choosing instead to use their music to construct a platform of positivity to help transition through the complexities of young adulthood.

Driven by the complexities of finding stability in a somewhat unsteady world, VALLEY is the first to acknowledge that because life is complicated, so are they.

~Press

Motivated by a desire to normalize conversations about raw emotions, the band admits that “sucks to see you doing better was born from our obsession of continuing to raise the bar with honesty and directness in our songs.” They explain, expanding on the direction of the new EP, “sucks to see you doing better really doesn’t have one identity. We wanted it to feel isolated and alone but also like a giant hug when you listen to it in headphones. sucks to see you doing better should remind everyone that we’re going through the same mundane shit and struggling to deal with our day to day emotions whether it’s with ourselves or with other people.” 

It is this vivid irony that actually leads to the beauty of VALLEY. Sure, they think it sucks to see you doing better, but they’re also doing everything in their power to make sure that you do.
