Elyn is a 3-piece London, UK-based alternative metal band who likes it rather loud and with enormous power on each one of their heavy tracks.

”The band’s sound is energetic and reminiscent of bands such as Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Alice In Chains, A Perfect Circle and Muse, to name a few.” ~ Elyn

Slicing away those previous worries and urging us to reach for those dreams no matter what the challenges, Elyn roar in like a hungry lion here and might shatter fragile windows who can’t handle their velocity.

There is a barrage of intensity here which so many will love, as our hearts are ignited by a ravishing release.

Leave It Behind: Keelan X is ready to embrace himself again on The Other Side

Posted on 3 December 2022

After using this abominable pandemic to rediscover his love for music again, Keelan X got those synths and drum machines striding rather sweetly together on the fine new single to play on loud, The Other Side.

Keelan X is an Ireland/London, UK-based indie synth-pop singer-songwriter who is inspired by those David Bowie-like classics to warm the heart with.

“The song has its origins in one of those 3 o’clock in the morning conversations I have with myself. Thoughts bubbling up from the unconscious, nudging at me. The song is essentially about me tentatively embracing my “other side” and dipping my toe back into musical waters – writing and recording music again. I think most people have some other side to themselves that they draw a veil over, another side we bury or let slip as life progresses. That part of you is always whispering in your ear and tapping you on your shoulder, waiting for you on the other side.” ~ Keelan X

Formulated so well and constructed with tailored class, Keelan X returns to great heights and shall improve the mindset of so many lost souls. Feeling that fire again after going deep within to find his purpose, we find a newly reinvigorated spirit to shine brightly with.

The Other Side from Ireland/London, UK-based indie synth-pop artist Keelan X is a rather striking effort for anyone who knows where their love is. Unlocking so much effortless charm and vocals to marvel at like it was the 80s again, this is a top song to be inspired by when the appetite is still there for more.

If you are hungry enough, anything is possible.

The alt-rock originator, djamesk13, struck again with his grungy proto-punk single, And That’s Where It Ends, And So It All Begun

Posted on 26 November 2022
https://soundcloud.com/djkemp13/and-thats-where-it-ends-and-so-it-all-begun

“And That’s Where It Ends, And So It All Begun” is the latest tonally sublime single released by the London-based alt-rock originator djamesk13 (David Kemp).

If Dinosaur Jr veered away from grunge and towards proto-punk and made a pit stop at 90s Britpop to pick up a bit of extra guitar swagger, the sonic result would be in a similar vein to this nostalgically produced hit.

The distortedly and poetically orchestrated single provides a definitive discourse on the nature of our lives which runs through like pre-determined chapters of destiny. Lament it or live it to the max, but that’s the nature of being, captured in the lyrical hooks in this epitomisingly sludgy earworm.

And That’s Where It Ends, And So It All Begun was officially released on November 19th. Catch it on SoundCloud.

Seamanship Meets Electronic Craftsmanship

Posted on 18 November 2022

Chet Bucke, has released a new single titled “Seamanship,” a heartfelt electronic ballad full of remorseful melodies and lyrics giving way to an anthem-like-chorus.  It’s certainly the kind of song that gives way to the mind’s visual, as it is easily a very “cinematic” sound. Apparently, this chap is from the Basque region of Spain, which I would not have guessed considering his nearly perfectly sung English lyrics.

Instrumentally, the song is fairly simple – with sparse electronic guitar parts, some piano, pads, and of course pulsating electronic drums. Interestingly enough, though, the song is not hyper dependent on the percussive lines, the way that a lot of Trap-driven rhythmic lines are. Rather, Mr. Bucke leaves a lot of empty and dare I say, meditative space, for the vocals to shine, doing what they do best: melody. It’s quite a novelty in a way, that the song’s breadth of space is in, and of itself rather original. Where a lot of modern songwriters and producers are trying to recreate formulas that work for other hits, it seems that Chet Bucke has given over to what works for him in his creative pursuits – which is rather admirable.

Chet seems equally happy to have a variety of styles in his music, as there is another song on his Spotify featuring a genre-defying style from the first. If listeners enjoyed “Seamanship,” then listening to “Leaving (Marie)” will be equally satisfying.
