This is the true story about how sometimes, just enough trust is okay if you are willing to follow your dreams and be weekend friends with someone close, as you are too busy with life and your music for more. Time is so precious and lots of people just don’t get it and blame you quickly for not meeting up, not matter the reason.

Her voice and style is truly uniquely brilliant as this music video shows Beks at her best. Her music vision shines through and there is no one else pulling the strings here but herself and director Murli Dhir. The various costumes are a pleasure on the eye as she transforms herself and brings out her true character in each shot.

In a sometimes sketchy music industry with hungry sharks wanting to bite off musician souls for profit, you need a small and loyal team to do things right. After all, reputation should be everything.

Beks is quite simply spectacular on her indie-pop dazzler ‘Stars in My Eyes‘. Her story of how she tries to balance life and music is truly eye-opening and relevant, in our overly fast-paced and distraction-filled world.

Scars on her back, seeing a newspaper with her name and picture inside, a movie-type start, this has it all. The haunting but beautiful start is an entry into something more than a song. this is her flying free, finally released from being in bands and in other’s shadows. She is doing what she feels is right and her piercing eyes looks right inside your soul. The gift to hold her tone is there, never trying too hard to impress anyone but herself.

Berlin based Indie-Folk-Rock trio Grizzly Bird return to the airwaves of the world with their hilarious music video, named ‘The Drummer’s Trauma‘ which was produced by Cameron James Laing at The Famous Gold Watch studios in Berlin.

His voice shows the pain of life at work, it seems like a great idea but now he is growing tired of this charade. This is a funny video with the main character getting hassled all the time and waking up in sweats from the stress. The cheeky chorus is very cleverly constructed to make you sway around with a smile on yourself, reflecting on previous experiences with some musicians that didn’t make a good impression.

A mellow Indie-Folk flow that is formulated so neatly, the energy gets you to tap your feet and sing too, always a sign of a terrific song. The melody is filled with a vivid sense up humour, the chilled guitar makes you smile and this is a fun song to listen to. The percussion keeps ticking over, and the honest track is terrifically meshed together to put the listener into the mind of a business owner, who is tired of dealing with petty problems that engulfs his mind.
