Jeff Cormack, Kelly Lueke and Matt Jeffries call themselves South of France but the garage-pop band is actually from Denver, Colorado. They aren’t too serious of Francophiles to have sing their debut record “Another Boring Sunrise” entirely in French, but there is that surf-rock ditty “Choix” where they repeat “Je ne comprends pas” a lot.

KING has yet to announce a firm release date for their forthcoming debut “The Story,” but Amber and Paris Strother and Anita Bias have a lot of fans.

Her stunning debut “Fourth Corner” (out now on Strong Blood records) appropriately touches on every every facet of blues, soul and rock, proving the […]
“What’s Your Name” may be a common question – especially the morning after a one-night stand – but it’s also the name of NO’s latest single which is now available on their 7-inch single with “Eleven Eleven” via White Iris Records. And just like their romantically dramatic video for breakout single “Stay With Me” off […]
There’s a new rock quartet in town whose sophisticated pop may include your next breezy summer melody.
