1) ALEC BERLIN – Space Punk And Other Junk
The artist ALEC BERLIN has been on the music scene for some time now and has been making a name for himself in the indie rock scene in the United States.
There are 12 tracks on his full-length album “Space Punk and Other Junk” but “Space Punk” is the 12th and last track on the album.
Imagine an electric guitar which sounds both vintage and futuristic at the same time. I was instantly engrossed in the high-energy romp, which grabbed me from the very first beat of the song.

2) BLUEBURST – Amplify Me
If you’re looking for a new artist to add to your playlist, I have just a suggestion for you: BLUEBURST.
Unlike the other bands in the scene, their sound is a lush, guitar-driven alternative rock that is unapologetically retro, wearing its 80s and 90s post-punk and alt-rock influences proudly on its sleeve, making them unique.
“Amplify Me” is a hard-charging heavy rock piece, dealing with human beings’ need to be heard, and the rage that’s created when they feel they aren’t.
In the song, the narrator is a young man who is feeling this anger, and by the end of the song he is on the verge of taking violent action. This song was inspired by the events surrounding the Summer of 2020, in which there was a lot of anger coming from every corner.
The first two singles they released, “Vanish” and “Supernova,” have been well received by critics, and the singles have received quite a few streams for a brand new and unknown artist such as them.

3) HARMONY DREAMERS – Spinning Round The Sun
As part of their debut album, “I Come From Earth”, Harmony Dreamers has released a new single titled “Spinning Round The Sun”, a trilogy of songs from their debut album, “I Come From Earth”.
Harmony Dreamers’ music has been praised by critics and fans alike as a “never-before-seen work of art” (Honk Magazine), with tracks gaining over 200K Spotify streams as a result of their release.
In Byron Lee Scott’s (the group’s leader) solar-powered mobile recording studio unit, the track was written, recorded, and mixed during the COVID pandemic, when the group was in the midst of the epidemic.
The band has a very US-based, quirky sound—think classic rock meets AOR with a twist of soft rock. It’s got that classic rock feel, but it also has some softer moments with some great vocals with both male and female vocals.
If you’re into alt-rock pop or AOR music then this is definitely something worth checking out. Visit their website or follow them on Spotify. Also listen to our entire playlist, where this artist and many great ones are also featured, you won’t regret it!
4) MICHAEL CHAP EDWARD – Mary’s In Love
MICHAEL CHAP EDWARD is a singer-songwriter from Anaheim, California, who makes music that reflects his British-based culture and classic sound.
Although it may not be the norm for today’s style of music, he wanted to write a song that was both story-driven, dark, and melodic at the same time in order to communicate his feelings.
His single Mary’s In Love is an easy-to-listen-to-pop song that combines classic rock with soft rock. The lyrics are simple and relatable, making them easy to sing along to, while the music has a nostalgic feel that makes it feel like you’re on vacation in the South Pacific.
His style is reminiscent of the Britpop era and Yacht Rock but with a youthful energy and catchy lyrics that make it perfect for easy listening. It’s a perfect song to listen to on your way home from work or while you’re packing up your things before moving out of your apartment!

Slack and the Super Egos is an indie rock band from Liverpool, England. They have been making music for some time now, and their most recent single, At the End of the Day, is a perfect example of their signature sound.
There was a reason why the release was on the 8th of April, it was the ten-year anniversary of Margret Thatcher’s death, which is considered to be a very controversial figure by some.
This single is for the people to stand up against those who oppress us and strive for greed and power and to stand up against those who suppress us and strive for greed and power. They are an alternative rock band with the motto ‘put on a show and leave’.
