Žagar

abigailpixler5452

A Time Capsule’s Tale HUNGARY | EXPERIMENTAL/PSYCHEDELIC I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love when I can’t define a band’s music! Though, this is something entirely different from the likes of China’s Leah Dou or Iceland’s Björk. This is psychedelic, man. Like, totally. Žagar is a band utilizing the things of the past to bring music back to life today, vintage sound clips and all. Upon first listen, you can pick up the subtleties drawing from inspirations like The Doors and Pink Floyd, but the band also stays inspired by newer artists like Floating Points … Continue reading Žagar

Indie/Dream Pop is “an atmospheric subgenre of alternative rock that relies on sonic textures as much as melody”, according to Urban Dictionary.

Began by the likes of Scottish band Cocteau Twins in the ’80s and grown to popularity over the decades, dream pop and simultaneously, indie pop, have become a huge player in the music industry as of late, with brand new acts springing up left and right.

Dead Naked Hippies

abigailpixler5452

Leeding The Way U.K. | Post-Rock/Grunge It doesn’t get any fresher than Dead Naked Hippies. No, really. Fresh off the presses but not new to the music game, Leeds-based grunge band Dead Naked Hippies are something birthed right out of the 90’s rock scene and we could not be more grateful for what they bring to the plate. What’s so ironic is that they were but mere babes when 90’s grunge was at it’s peak, with ages ranging from the youngest at 23 to the eldest at 26 – all members having been born no earlier than ’91! Age however, … Continue reading Dead Naked Hippies
