Radkey

Who said punk is dead? If you still think that’s the case, then you need to get familiar with Radkey. Self-taught musical brothers Dee, Isaiah, and Solomon Radke are all too young to drink legally, but their Cat & Mouse and Devil Fruit EPs already have much of the rock world taking notice.

Ratking

Ratking’s music has been described as “post-Hip Hop” – meaning their sound cannot be constrained by the typical definition of rap music. Emcees Wiki and Hak and producer Sporting Life tapped longtime Jay Z engineer Young Guru to help give their debut LP So It Goes a taste of next level NYC Hip Hop.

Say Lou Lou

Elektra and Miranda Kilbey are products of two countries with long traditions in indie-pop dominance.  The twin sisters used to trek back-and-forth to see their Australian father and Swedish mother, and that intercontinental travel helped produce the Dream Pop soundscape that has a lot industry insiders speaking highly of Say Lou Lou.

The Vamps

Not often do you have a boy band that actually plays instruments. That’s partly what sets The Vamps a part from some of their British contemporaries. Having already established themselves as breakout in their home country, it’s most likely only a matter of time before they invade the hearts of American girls as well.
