Consisting of songstress Shauna Tohill and beat-maker Collette Williams, together they are creating a genuine buzz following the release of their debut single 'Can You Feel It' in late 2015. Shauna is responsible for one of the most recognisable Irish syncs of the last few years with the track 'Can't Keep Up', which she wrote and performed with her previous band Silhouette, used by Discover NI in an extensive TV advertising campaign. Shauna has spent the last couple of years touring as guest vocalist with Snow Patrol and as bassist with American indie artist Darwin Deez. Collette is also a hugely talented vocalist and musician and can be seen drumming in the video for Gabrielle Aplin's current hit single 'Sweet Nothing'.
On their latest single Death Yawn, the duo brings an epic drive with a sound aesthetic reminiscent of a what a MS MR and Courtney Barnett collaboration would sound like. With ferocity and allure acting as an addicting underlayer, this track is the energetic rock anthem you need. REWS shares enticing dance rock full of pop-punk flare and a production recipe for a perfect alternative hit. All in all, REWS rules and will make naysayers rue.

"The Dirty Heat combines elements of electronic and rock music to create a fun and energetic live atmosphere. It's more refreshing than dancing in a sauna but just as sensual." With funk energy supporting their warm rock sound, the group's latest single Empty Spaces is a great introduction to the group's sound aesthetic, reminiscent of early Incubus meets the golden-hour Austin sun.
We recently talked with Phil Luna, Andy Hamel, and Thrad Lee about their take on alternative culture. Read on to find out more about your next favorite artist.
"After years of struggling in different bands, the three met in a recording studio while working on different projects. Fond of the diy- philosophy and lo-fi music the trio gathered for the first rehearsals and soon formed the band." The Sunjays contribute to the current trend of mid-century psych-rock meets mid-2000s alternativism, with direct yet melodically fascinating tracks full of charming wit, what they call "the charming nostalgic acoustic centrifugal forces...captivating simplicity in a complicated world."
We recently talked with Johnny Latebloom, Mr. Hinz, and Pete McLarrison of The Sunjays about their take on alternative culture. Read on to find out more about your next favorite artist.
The Modern Strangers are from Kent, UK. Taking inspiration from 70's disco and applying it to the modern day, they created their debut single 'Margarita'. With electro-funk grooves serving as fervent foundation under Bee-Gees reminiscent vocals, Margarita sounds like what Foster The People's second record strove for, but what The Modern Strangers perfected in their disco-rock integration. This duo ingeniously quilts together exploratory psych melodies with solid infectious hooks, adding up to a salty-sweet mix of euphoric and edgy elements to continue the indie age of 70s-nostalgia.

IndieBeat previously described ABC as having an "off-center indie rock aesthetic, reminiscent of elements from pop-punk of the early 2000s but with a more contemporary and active edge. It's sort of an updated grunge for the 2015 alt soundscape." We recently talked in-depth with Tom D'Agustino, Andrew Wolfson, Zach Slater, and Carter McNeil about their take on alternative culture. Read on to find out more about your next favorite artist, Active Bird Community.
IndieBeat has previously described their transition from The Bolts to Island Apollo as "retaining their edgy yet authentic anthem flare, these guys blend pysch-atmospherics with ear-catching brass riffage to create an innovative winding rock aesthetic...The group perfectly captures the exploratory nature of the Los Angeles music scene in recent years, from bands such as Capital Cities, Foster The People, Saint Motel, and even Cold War Kids."
We recently talked with Ryan Kilpatrick, Addam Farmer, Austin Farmer, Heath Farmer, and Matt Champagne about their take on alternative culture. Read on to find out why Island Apollo may just be your next favorite artist.
Admiral is an engaging electronic duo from the north eastern corner of Vermont. They play an exciting blend of dance influenced beats with classic vocal hooks.

They create a complex soundscape that is immediately arresting to the listener but remains danceable.

"Bass player John Parsons first discovered guitarist John Dickey’s music in the mid-90s through a random purchase of the Pie is Gone EP in a Greenwich Village record store. Dickey was the mastermind behind Pie, a Boston-based band that opened for Built to Spill and Yo La Tengo before imploding after a string of indie releases. In 2002, Parsons was determined to find more Pie music. That move would prove to be fortuitous, though it would take another decade before the two Johns joined forces in Verst."
We recently talked in-depth with the Verst guys, John Dickey, John Parsons, Brandon Hemley and Mark Marvelous. Read on to find out more about the group's influences, creative process, and of course their take on alternative culture.
