Neon Hitch

Neon Hitch is a new sexy pop sensation that is going to be sweeping the dance clubs and radio stations very soon. She is currently working on her full debut album titled Beg, Borrow & Steal in the states and I personally can’t wait for it to drop. I am calling it right now that she is going to have at least 2 club bangers on the LP that get massive radio play. She already has quite a few great covers with Mike Posner, Travie McCoy and Miike Snow. Here are a few tracks to give you a taste of her upcoming record.

Neon Hitch – Cooler Than Me (Sia vs Mike Posner)

Neon Hitch – Black and Blues

Brasstronaut

An interesting name but non the less amazing sound. Their use of brass along with soulful licks are exactly what set these guys apart from the up and coming music. Please give it a listen. I think it is just different enough to be liked.

Brasstronaut – Requiem for a Scene

La Roux

Alright Alright, I am jumping on this gravy train. La Roux has it going on, from her looks to her vox. It’s absolutely ridiculous that I refused to listen to her before today. Something I seriously regret. There is something about when people start remixing the shit out of an artist that just turns me off, but damn I have learned my lesson. Anyways, let the music speak for itself and rub in my stupidity. EnjoY!

La Roux – Bulletproof

La Roux – Armour Love

Miike Snow

No, it’s no typo just the name of a great synth-pop band who is continuing to do their thing on the music scene. The song Silvia is a great joint with everything that a successful pop song needs: A great chorus, great effects, a message, and last but not least emotion. These guy are really great and you should give them a listen.

Miike Snow – Silvia

Miike Snow – Animal

Da Funk

A mix between Chromeo and Under The Influence Of Giants comes the new age funk wave that is keeping the dance scene alive. These tracks are very well done and emulate so many of the qualities that make funk one of the sickest genres of music. Gentlemen Hall and Illumination are taking things to the next level with a sense of Dance mixed in with their groovy vibe. Give them a listen.

Listen: Gentlemen Hall – Stun Gun

Illumination – Right Time

Special Thanks to AC

Iglu & Hartly

This Echo Park based band just outside of Hollywood has a lot to offer the music world. Their new wave style both blends alternative riffs with electric keys and hip-hop feel. Although not all of their songs have the same makeup as their hit, Violent and Young, Iglu and Hartly still have something interesting on their hands. Their new pop style is one to be reckoned with and can be seen on their album titled & Then Boom. With one UK tour under their belt and awaiting a world tour in mid July, the band returns home for a September reunion in Seattle, which will be sure to please all locals. Check them out and support them by purchasing their LP titled & Then Boom on iTunes.
