O.D On You

Swedish pop act Violet Days' latest single "O.D On You" is a flawless banger well worthy of your time and the multiple listens it's sure to inspire (and if you blare it in your car, it's powerful enough to make the pain of tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner with the extended family melt away for a few minutes).

Addictive with a warm melody and a hook that will be circling round your head for days, the track's not easy to forget - and we wouldn't want to forget it anyways. Narrative lyrics and Hannson's ever emotive vocals make "O.D On You" something we can't stop listening to and we think you should be stuck on it too, so take a listen and follow all those links below to stay up to date with Violet Days.

The Regrettes Live

LA-based punk rock band The Regrettes opened for Sleigh Bells at Mezzanine in San Francisco November 16th with a kick-ass performance. Consisting of frontwoman Lydia Night, guitarist Genessa Gariano, bassist Sage Nicole, and drummer Maxx Morando, the band's songs stem from Lydia's unabashed attitude towards her own personal experiences and that transitions into their powerful sound: this band says what they feel, means what they say, and plays like they're having the time of their lives. The sweetest part of the performance was when they brought out a box of doughnuts ("he doesn't like cake" - Lydia) on stage for drummer Maxx Morando's 18th birthday, the crowd singing happy birthday while he blew out his candle.

The Regrettes gave off an incredible energy that transmitted to the crowd and got them jumping around and dancing. One definite crowd pleaser was "Seashore" which they dedicated to Trump; I suggest you listen to that song if you too are feeling particularly angsty towards a Trump presidency. "Hey Now" and "A Living Human Girl" had us swaying and jumping to the beat (and are my two favorite singles they've put out). Their studio versions and live performance sound virtually the same, though, with this band, the experience of being in the crowd and having Lydia come down from the stage and dancing with us is just pure fun. The '60's inspired guitar riffs coupled with their punk rock mentality will continue to draw a crowd and leave fans and listeners waiting excitedly around for their full album, to be released in early 2017.

Rewind

San Mei (Emily Hamilton) released her first new music since "Revel" with the latest video for her single "Rewind" set to be released Friday, November 25th.

"Rewind" holds all the dreamy, anthemic music and potent vocals we've come to expect from San Mei with a signature cool desperateness: a dichotomy of heavy, prominent beats but serene soundscapes and authentic, unforgiving lyrics that makes her music stand out in the best way possible.

The Gold Coast artist and self-taught instrumentalist has a way of creating something that's wandering but secure - a free roaming sound that's confident and catchy as hell - so watch the video, listen on repeat, and follow all those links below for much more.
