The hazy summertime pop of “Jennifer” is new from Auckland NZ artist Fazerdaze. “Jennifer” is built on warm reverby textures, a deep in the mix vocal, and a candy sweet (with the slightest tinger of melancholy to keep things varied) set of melodies.

“Wonderlust” is new from Heavenly Recordings band Kid Wave. Produced by Dan Austin (Doves, Cherry Ghost), “Wonderlust” is a 10 out of 10 example of big disto rock with a pop-conscious hooky central core. We love the track and will be looking for Kid Wave’s upcoming debut LP, due later in 2015.

Robert Delong appears as a gamer gone insane, with musical and performance capabilities that make his show as fun and entertaining visually, as it is musically. The EDM-pop artist is no DJ behind turntables––as Delong fans grooved with the drummer-turned-singer at the Natural History Museum of L.A. as part of their First Friday Night event. With a Go-Go-Gadget arsenal of music manipulating video game controllers ranging from a steering wheel to a Wii controller, Delong brought his unique science of performing to the museum; playing songs like “Acid Rain” and his Billboard-ranked alternative song “Long Way Down”. Review by Geovani Donaires.

“We Are The Hearts” is the second Hypem chart topper in as many tracks for newcomers EXGF. The pinpoint perfect pop of “We Are The Hearts” is the big, anthemic and hooky type of track that indie breakouts (and dreams) are made of.

Review by Brian Litwin
Tuesday nights are just done differently in Hollywood. Good looking people, drinks constantly flowing, smiles around and buzz around what the new hottest thing may be. This is the Hollywood norm and LANY at the Sayers Club brought all that buzz to life last night.
Riding a giant wave of Internet love, now LA trio LANY ripped into one of their first live shows. Playing catchy electro-pop tracks like “BRB” and the new single “Bad, Bad, Bad”, the group had the massive industry presence chomping at the bit. Friends and fans were singing along to the lyrics of “ILYSB” and the at capacity crowd vibed to the single “Made In Hollywood” to cap off the impressive showing.
Give these three amigos 2015 to find a home, develop more songs (they only have 7 songs to date and have been a band for 9 months) and hop on a tour (opening for the 1975 would do wonders for these dudes), and check back to see how big they can be.
