2) LOVE GHOST – Jealousy
Love Ghost is a super catchy alternative rock band from Los Angeles. The single, Jealousy, is one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. It’s a rock anthem that will get stuck in your head for days. The song “Jealousy” can be described as an alternative, grunge rock song.
From songwriter Finnegan Bell: “I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve, and being this passionate can hurt at times. I can be a people pleaser for people that don’t care as much about me, and I’m trying to get out of that unhealthy habit.”
It’s got a catchy beat, but it’s also got an edge. It’s like the best of both worlds—not quite pop, not quite rock, but somewhere in between. And the lyrics! They’re direct and honest, and they’re delivered by the artist’s distinctive vocals, which are equal parts soulful and sultry.

3) RUSTY STRINGS AND THE RAW DEAL – Deception
If you’re a fan of rock music from the ’80s, you’ll love Rusty Strings and the Raw Deal.
This is an indie act from Greenwood, South Carolina that plays all kinds of rock music, from garage rock to new wave and everything in between.
”I wrote and recorded music as Rusty Strings and the Raw Deal from 1980 until 1986. No matter where or what I studied or did to make money for a living, this was my real job and my real passion.”
It was during this period that he became convinced that 1983 should be released, and that “Deception,” the eerily prescient attack on celebrity status, would be the lead single when his 14-year-old daughter gravitated towards it, and that it was her way of defending herself against those who were famed solely for the sake of being famous.
If you like indie rock bands like Weezer or The Pixies then you’ll probably like Rusty Strings too! Follow him on Spotify, and visit his YouTube!

It’s alternative rock with a pop twist, which makes it incredibly unique. It’s hard to describe the sound without being able to listen to it, but if you’re into alt-rock or punk rock, you’ll probably love this song!
It’s another chapter in their upcoming concept LP “Electric Harbor.” It’s another scene built out to build out the fictional world that they have created with this album.
I have an example of one who takes the form of a bored, nihilistic character who steals a car to try to escape their mundane life, but then can’t take responsibility for their actions, so they blame it on someone else to avoid conflict between themselves and others.
