The Music Rag
Wheathin's remix of Tyus' "City Of The Rose" takes the track's desperate undertones and amplifies them, smoothing them out over an alluringly deep and electrified track that runs with the flow so naturally it breathes with more life than the original.

Fuzzy beats, driven riffs, persistent vocals, desperate lyrics; what's not to love about Radnor's pure alt-rock sound? Reminiscent of a classed up take on the alternative rock you first fell for in the early 2000s, "Alliance" pulses with fearlessness in an anthemic single you're going to want to sit up and pay attention to.

In February 2014, a 19-year-old half Scottish, half Swedish Nina Nesbitt released her debut album ‘Peroxide’. It hit the mid weeks at No.1, charting at No.11 in the UK and No.1 in Scotland. Top 40 singles ‘Stay Out’ and ‘Way In The World’ were both playlisted by Radio 1 and helped take her total combined YouTube and VEVO views to over 30 million.
Nina has spent the last two years growing from a youthful singer-songwriter into a bona-fide pop star. Having just turned 21, she’s back with a collection of songs that she feels truly reflect who she is. Released on February 5th, the ‘Modern Love’ EP, “represents a new state of mind, a new person and a new life,” Nina says. “It's a big departure from the 17-year-old girl with an acoustic guitar but it feels like the most honest music I've written. I've been left alone to do whatever I want without anyone breathing down my neck saying, “that's not you,” or trying to water it down. I've spent the past two years living with friends in London and sonically documenting it. {Lead single} ‘Chewing Gum’ is an empowering track that I wrote about the transient types of relationships people have when they’re trying to figure out what they want and they’re not ready to fully commit.” This sentiment is portrayed brilliantly in the video for the track.

Falling squarely within the band's uniquely fluid mix of indie/funk, The Lipstick Junkies' "Motown Prince" comes off enticingly smooth with fun beats and a driving melody that only lend their strength to quiet but insistent vocals; it was made for dancing around your room while getting ready and driving with streetlights flashing through the car windows.
