rincs – “Less Polite”

May 4, 2022

LA-based act rincs very well may be the pioneer of a new genre unlike any I’ve ever heard. The intro to “Less Polite ” is gripping, right from the get-go, with a wave-like sonic sensation. It’s incredible how such abstract noises and rhythms can sound so good when put in the right places. If “Less Polite ” doesn’t leave you with hypnotized spiral eyes, there’s only one possible explanation; you just don’t get it. But that’s okay! We know you’ll get there. Just keep listening until you do. Stream it on Spotify & Apple Music rincs · Less Polite

Cool Heat – “Lately”

May 4, 2022

Somehow, a solo musician, the Chicago phenomenon by the name of COOL HEAT, has dropped off a single that offers an out-of-body like experience. The dreamy vocals laid atop hypnotic synths are what truly transcends the mind from body while listening to “Lately.” The simplistic, yet trippy music video has garnered over one thousand views in ten days, in which COOL HEAT is shown walking the streets of what is presumably Chicago while quite literally dancing to the beat of his own drum. If you enjoy a good lo-fi track, then do yourself a favor and get plugged in with some COOL HEAT. Stream it on Spotify & Apple Music

The Philadelphia four-piece by the name of Church Girls is back just in time for their EU/UK tour with new single “Telepathic Mind.” The crowds are going to be raging their faces off from country to country… Why? Perhaps it’ll be due to the high harking lyrics laid down in harmony, the heart racing tempo, or maybe the razor sharp shredding of guitars.

Strawberry Cough – “My Song 19”

May 3, 2022

The Salt Lake City quartet known as Strawberry Cough has breached the surface with their debut single, “My Song 19.” Broken into several sections, their first single impressively sounds more like an all-encompassing EP. The breakdown section halfway through likely draws from their inspiration of the Beatles as it gives off the energy of a field of hippies all swaying in unison. The concluding electric guitar solo is what “Hotel California’s” guitar solo would’ve sounded like if you were to go back in time to give Joe Walsh a double dose of steroids.

FNTN – “Crypto Vegan”

May 3, 2022

Coming together on the east and migrating to the west coast of LA, FNTN has had quite the journey, most recently leading up to their latest 2022 groove. “Crypto Vegan” is an eccentric, surfed-out goodbye to someone you once loved who left the rock and roll lifestyle behind for a life of business and cubicles… Not that there’s anything wrong with that. “Crypto Vegan” shows off charismatic pop and swoon-worthy synth rock for whenever you’re trying to feel nostalgic. The cover art reflects the smooth and bouncy retroesque waves being pushed by the aesthetic of FNTN as a whole, and evidently, their new single “Crypto Vegan” itself.

Conway the Machine – God Don’t Make Mistakes

May 2, 2022

The spirit of Buffalo is a very real concept that only true Buffalonians could understand; a sense of community, validity, and authenticity. The legendary rap group Griselda managed to spread the spirit of Buffalo on an international level – one third of this hip-hop superpower, Conway the Machine, recently dropped what is easily his best work to date, an LP entitled God Don’t Make Mistakes. Conway’s cutthroat delivery intersects the eloquent piano keys laid over his beats with pinpoint perpendicularity. Listening to God Don’t Make Mistakes takes you into a hip hop classroom and Conway the Machine is the coolest teacher you’ve ever had. The diversity of emotion Conway has the power to convey is infinite, especially when comparing the vulnerable “Stressed” to the triumphant “So Much More.” When he says “Don’t let em’ put me in no box, I’m so much more,” it hits hard. It’s a very surreal experience[...]

The Weather Might Say Otherwise – “Statue Of Frogs”

April 25, 2022

The Weather Might Say Otherwise found their way back on buffaBLOG with their latest offering, “Statue of Frogs.” Coming with a rough and rugged delivery, the Fredonia three-piece rages the faces off of their fans for three and a half short minutes. That being said, there is a really cool breakdown section a little over halfway through the track for all of those in the mosh to collect themselves properly before jumping right back in. To break down the inspiration behind “Statue Of Frogs” Singer Damian Brown talks vividly of his role with drugs and how he depends on them to pull him out of a depressive state, all the while pulling him further into his depressive state.

Bedon – “Whoa”

April 25, 2022

If you like guitar that will cut any negativity out of your life like a butcher knife, then hit up Bedon on his new single “Woah.” The vocals are coated in a layer of distortion that resembles something like a fresh layer of spray paint. The indie rockstar additionally came out with a classic promotional video, to say the least, for “Woah,” reportedly written in one day AND it just so happens to be the first song released by Bedon in two years. It’s evident why the singer/songwriter took his time to deliver his latest track, “Whoa.” Bedon wanted to deliver the perfect introduction to his upcoming sophomore album via Better Company Records… We think he succeeded.

April 25, 2022

Summer nights, slushies, and red solo cups pretty much sums up Plastic Mermaids smash single “Disposable Love.” With changes in tempo throughout the song, it keeps the listener (and therefore the night) alive.
