Genre: Indie/  folk rock

Highland Kites is an indie folk/rock band based out of Los Angeles. This is the first single off their upcoming EP, due to release 29 July 2017.  “I’m Not Weak” is a stunning and beautifully gripping song. The dissonant guitar is entrancing, and the percussion pound of the purposeful steps of a person on a mission. Frontwoman Marissa Lamar, who is the mastermind behind the band, meanwhile, steals the show with her stirring vocals and intense yet hopeful lyrics. Her message is timely given the events around the world.” – The Revue

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Jeremy Parsons grew up soaking in the sounds of Texas music in the dancehalls of the Lone Star State. Jeremy was always a fan of music, but it wasn’t until his later high school years that he discovered his knack for it. Driven by his passion, he taught himself to play the guitar and began to write and perform music. Jeremy draws from his personal experiences to create songs that are keenly perceptive and meaningful. His current single, “Burn This House Down,” paints a poignant picture of heartbreak and acceptance that still remains relatable.

Left Arm Tan – Freedom Bus
Genre: Americana /Upbeat
On that afternoon drive down a two lane highway our thoughts meander…to sunny days, loves lost, heartache and reclamation. Left Arm Tan writes the soundtrack to this uniquely American wanderlust experience. Hailing from Fort Worth, Texas, LAT pens critically acclaimed songs that feel equally at home among city skylines and old country roads. Blending Triple AAA, Americana and Alt-Country, LAT has a “twangy, almost mystical romanticism.” (No Depression) The single Freedom Bus is a wry look at politicians in it for the money with a funny twist…”spread your glory on all of us, but mainly me!”

Motorfinger – Feels Like This
Genre: Modern Grunge / Hard Rock
Reflected Emotion: Angry attitude with a dash of feelgood
Feels Like This is a track from Motorfingers 2017 EP ‘Evilution’. The sound of Motorfinger is like taking an excellent element from each of the legendary grunge bands and forming something entirely new and wholly contemporary. Their charging guitars are sometimes chunky and low-slung like Alice in Chains’, sometimes melodic and epic sounding, like Mother Love Bone’s, and sometimes simplistic and couched in power chords, like Nirvana’s. Their drums are crashy, smashy, groovy, and Grohl-ian.

Mopak -Different
Genre: Rock/ Alt Rock, Post-Rock
Mopak is an Alt Rock band out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Artists such as Radiohead, Zeppelin, Sarah McLachlan, Switchfoot, and The Killers have inspired them. Their song, “Different,” began as a poem that Claire (piano/vocals) scribbled down during a college class one morning. After the song began to take shape at the piano, Mopak worked together to bring out the angst of the tune. https://www.reverbnation.com/mopak/song/25952433-different
