#MusicMonday is the hashtag I’ve been utilizing for fairly some time to share music suggestions from up-and-coming artists. Always recent, and at all times completely different, making an attempt to search for tendencies earlier than they develop into one. You can test October’s overview for extra music.
Indie or Punk? Punk or Indie? Let’s have enjoyable touring the world in a pleasant showdown between leading edge examples each have to supply. Let’s have a hear, with a phrase from the artists themselves. 🎧
Igaf Sequoia – Trap Door
In a world stuffed with highly effective males
It does not work that approach
The wheel of fortune it spins
It’s rigged you will by no means win
Like a slot machine in sin metropolis
I do know you assume you possibly can
however you will by no means win, you will by no means win
Our musical journey begins in Los Angeles, CA with a relaxed Indie Folk track, reflective of a well-recognized backyard stuffed with secrets and techniques. Just maintain on to me:
“Almost all of our songs are derived via a composite of inspiration. Both instrumental harmonies and private experiences inform this track particularly. Song writing, from the angle of the lyricist, is a fluid combination of poetry, reminiscence and goals.
The lyrics for this track had been a spontaneous emotional response to the fruits of devices and harmonies as they introduced themselves. The lyrics wrote themselves in response to the vibrations. Musically as a band that has at all times been guitar first after which layered with instrumentation, for this track we flipped it and had my guitar half translated and recorded on keyboards first after which layered instrumentation from there to attempt to create a separate sound from our earlier catalog of songs.
Generally talking the overwhelming majority of our songs thematically contact on our experiences with the drug dependancy, idealism and heartbreak of our youth and reconciling that towards rising older, getting sober, and changing into dad and mom.”

Pat Chow – Noxious Weed
There’s seasons greetings
And causes fleeting
To get on from daily
But that summertime and all of the solar shiny glitter
Mesmerizes the guts of me
We will proceed on with our lives
The solar will give and take
The solar will shine
We’ll all get on with it
Get on with it
With our lives within the summertime
From Indie Folk, we now fly all the best way to Perth, Australia for an Indie Punk jammy monitor that takes us via an all-season journey of a poisonous seed you’d remorse to plant:
“I wrote this track on the first of January 2019. It was summer season and I needed to put in writing a summer season track. It’s in regards to the good instances you may have with associates and reflecting on that whereas realizing the nice instances are virtually over. I used to be on the finish of my tether of a foolish season bender.
The second verse wrote itself utilizing the remainder of the seasons and a splash of self depreciation. The chorus we are going to proceed with our lives is about how life goes on no matter how you’re feeling or what you need, issues simply proceed to occur they usually occur to you and you will get on with it a method or one other, with pleasure or begrudgingly.”

Kikker – Trash
Be trash
Go house
Be rubbish
Alone
Staying with the Punk vibe, let’s earn extra flyer miles touring to Swansea, Wales for some fast-paced, hard-edged melodic, rebellious Garage Frog Rock:
“Lyrically, the monitor is about frustration; about feeling caught, and feeling that you just’re unable to alter something. It’s about repeating cycles and feeling unable to interrupt out of them, or feeling unable to trigger significant change.”

The Volts – The Less I Think I Know
But time goes on and onWhere’s the place all of it went fallacious
One day it’s there the following it’s gone
You’ve acquired to maintain on holding on
Just goes to indicate
The extra I feel the much less I feel I do know
And despite the fact that
It’s been so lengthy I’ll miss you once you go
We transfer up north to West Lothian, Scotland for a straight up Indie monitor that is aware of it: when nothing appears to sink in, it might probably make you’re feeling like sinking:
“The track’s probably not based mostly on one expertise particularly however extra so about wanting again on various things prior to now and realizing how little you understand about them and the way in a different way you’ll deal with them in the event that they occurred now.”

Hausers – Chairoplane
driving with my brother
undefeated pirates from the town
The Chairoplane
runs turns spherical and spherical
nonetheless a race with the bumper automobiles
simply lengthy sufficient to smash my entrance enamel
We lastly land in Milan, Italy for a Lo-Fi Americana track that evokes Aunt Lily singing for the Pope whereas she’s washing within the basement toilet:
“Basically, the track speaks of me after I was a child.
I’m from the town, and my uncles lived in a small city within the countryside removed from cities, which was a scenario I wasn’t was once.
A real expertise with actual individuals, actual emotions, and honest human relationships, felt for the primary time solely removed from the town, that gave recent air whereas driving a motorbike in bucolic fields, having enjoyable throughout the feast of the city imagining a peasant life, like in a portray by Ligabue. An image of the life within the marketing campaign.
You ought to see a movie known as “L’alberto degli zoccoli” of Ermanno Olmi.
It’s in a strict italian dialect (that additionally I’m not capable of perceive), but it surely’s a superlative movie to grasp the place my emotions got here from.”
