Tampa Bay’s WD-HAN return with rocky blues ”Shiver”

Rocking Indie-Blues band WD-HAN are based out of Tampa Bay in Florida and have just released their new broody bluesy rock ear-tingling ”Shiver”.

Tampa Bay’s WD-HAN lift us off our feet with the exciting entrance and then settle in to a fiery harmony with uplifting guitar and drum solos. Just what we needed. They have a gritty style that is fantastic with the vocal delivery which is clear and has you dancing along.

Shiver” is all about that feeling of meeting someone and they make you feel all goofy inside and have a huge smile on your face. You shiver as you think of them and they are all you really want in life.

After being around since 2008, WD-HAN just want to inspire through music so that they can make a positive impact on their listeners lives. They mend our hearts on ”Shiver” and this is a superb release.

Stream this rock flow here on Soundcloud.

Indie Rock Just Got Darker with Blakk Mantra’s Single “Planet of Sungrown Dreams” On the Airwaves

https://open.spotify.com/track/1u2knyypRoEYh9bNITYZOX

Distorted guitars, dreamy Indie Rock vocals, and soaring crescendos. Those are just a few of the things you can look forward to hearing when you press play on “Planet of Sungrown Dreams” by Blakk Mantra.

The filthy, fuzzy and sonic tones are sure to appease fans of the Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, and Muse alike.

Blakk Mantra has made it all too easy for listeners to get obsessed with their slightly darker approach to Indie Rock. You’d struggle to find Alternative music as accessible as Planet of Sungrown Dreams. Yet, Blakk Mantra still carries that essential extra-juicy indulgent element in their sound which will leave you with the compulsion to play them on repeat.

You’ll also want to check out the second single “Donna Juanita” from their 2-track 2020 release “Where There’s Smoke There’s Dope“. It’s a grungy psych aural treat.

You can get your first taste of Blakk Mantra’s arrestive sound for yourselves by heading over to Spotify.

Show them some much-deserved love via Facebook.
