Artist: StarBenders
Song: So High
Why? StarBenders is a female fronted indie rock band that will grab you by storm and leave you breathless. The music of the band is amazing and then you have the most wonderful cherry on top with Kimi Shelter’s raspy and unique voice that makes everything be a beauty of music to be heard. It wouldn’t surprise me to see this band headlining some of the biggest festivals out there.

Artist: AMFM
Song: Heroes
Why? New Yorkers and filled with that special aura that city posses comes AMFM and their debut single”Heroes”. This band truly represents the indie rock spirit with lyrics that relate with all who listen and music that is so theirs and so unheard. Stay on the lookout for these guys, they are already making waves (“Heroes” was chosen by both Banana Republic and Hollister to play on their in-store playlists and selected by Spotify on their ‘Fresh Sounds Six Strings’ playlist)

Artist: Space Cadets
Song: Kissing
Why? With fast paced strong vocals, a nice acoustic flow and lyrics that any young adult man asking himself about life could relate – comes Space Cadets and their latest track “Kissing”. With a nice nostalgic black and white scenery the deep lyrics of the song are able to connect beautifully and to truly set the message behind in stone.

Artist: Vonna Pearl
Song: Come with Me
Why? Taylor Johnson and Chelsey Cope lead the talented 5 piece band Vonna Pearl from Oklahoma City. With a touch of folk mixed in with a must have indie rock guitar that can easily connect with all the sounds and give it that special touch. This is a band that I believe will be on the top of must listen playlists in 2017 – You have been warned.

Artist: Black Honey
Song: Hello Today
Why? Another talented band fronted by a magnetic female lead singer, Black Honey comes straight to your face with a nice blend of grunge, pop and of course rock. Izzy B Phillips possesses a voice that is so rebellious yet strangely so reassuring and with an ability to dance around each note created by the guitar and company. This band is another must listen – with a singer filled with that special mojo that many singers wish they had.

Dave Mackay and his band blend deep lyrics, hard rock guitar riffs, a bass to guide with patience, drums that can change the pace of any melody and the ethereal piano provided by Dave along with his powerful vocals that can grab you without any notice and don’t let go until the end of the track leaving you breathless.
