Shath


With me spending my days listening to GY!BE, God Is An Astronaut, Explosions In The Sky, and other similar post-rock artists; I was delighted when I listened to Shath, another post-rock artist. The music here is incredibly beautiful. The first time I heard " Losing Grip", the latest album from Shath, I was stunned. Shath's older music is more electronic than anything, but it does not come close to the greatness of the newest music. You can check it out at the link below and check out his other project Hornblow Junior.

RIBS

 With influences including  The Deftones, Queens of The Stone Age, My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Muse, and Smashing Pumpkins(all of which I love), here comes RIBS . The band consists of Keith Freund(Guitar,Vocals), Blake Fusilier(Bass,Vocals), Justin Tolan (Guitar), and Chris Oquist(Drums). To be such a small band, the recording and the music is great. This stuff could really hold its own in the big and bad world of the radio. The debut EP "British Brains" is out now. You can get the full EP for just five dollars, or each track for one dollar each. Be sure to check them out in the links below.

When Power Stars Collide


After getting a copy of FL Studio, Jacob Rutherford started making trance music. He stuck with that for about eight months, until he discovered Aphex Twin. Then he decided to make breakcore and IDM. Over time, he found out that he liked to produce anything and everything he can. The result is the debut album "Hollow Armour" by When Power Stars Collide. You can download the full album at the link below and get a little more info about When Power Stars Collide. If you enjoy the album, be sure to donate some money.

Mike Procyshyn & the Comfort in Ghosts


I really thought I had heard of most of the genres of music that are out there. That is until I received a message from Mike, from Mike Procyshyn & the Comfort in Ghosts, talking about the band. He told me that there were too many influences in the band,so they just adopted the genre of Beard Rock. The influences including Nirvana, Queen, Wilco, Queen, Radiohead, Townes Van Zandt, and Conway Twitty. The influences blend together wonderfully to create some simply amazing music. They have a new EP out called simply " the houdini EP", and all of the tracks on here are great. You can check out the new EP at the links below, while there, you can check out a few other releases they have, including a free B-sides download. Oh, and I don't even have a beard, and I am loving this Beard Rock.

Jean-Paul De Roover


Since 2007, Jean-Paul De Roover has been pursuing a solo career. Jean-Paul is very unique in the way that he toys with musical form. His live shows are simply amazing; in the shows he builds the music from dead silence, then adds the layers of vocal harmonies, ambient rock, rhythmic tribal beats, folk, and tons of others. "Windows and Doors", Jean-Paul De Roover's first full-length album, is out now. The album also comes with a DVD that has nine live performance videos, two music videos, two concerts, a "Making of" featurette, and crazy packaging that folds out to be a three-dimensional house. Jean-Paul De Roover is amazing, and I am really hoping that he starts getting more recognition for the wonderful music he creates.

Victor Florence


After summoning his courage, Victor Florence began his solo career. His debut solo EP, was recorded entirely in a small dorm room with his close friend,Neil Pepi; who was responsible for all of the recording and production. Crammed in the tiny dorm room, praying to not get noise complaints, they started recording. What soon followed was an amazing EP from a very promising artist. There will be another EP, expected near the end of summer, and will have all original songs(no covers). At the link below, you can download his debut EP "Trapeze Artist" for free.
