Noise Machine Repeater on Repeat
Connecticut emo band, WAS AND WHEN, released Feast Your Eyes this past Friday. This EP salutes the droney and ethereal moods from the singles of “Hang in the Balance” and “Heavy Heart”(my personal favorite) while adding a pop flare. With a driving momentum and memorable hooks, Held allows his voice to be more present and soar over the tracks capturing the raw, real passion of the lyrics.
What Life Would Be Like: With Sprig
The indie-rock project, Sprig, released “What Life Would Be Like” last week. The Wilmington, NC band, recently rebranded from Rosemary, captures the essence of this niche genre with trance-like songs that immediately have your head nodding back and forth and your hand pressing the replay button.
Cassie’s Crutch: Debut Album
West Hartford based band, Cassie’s Crutch, released 10 song DEBUT album on February 12th. The jam band which was founded at The University of Hartford hones in on that classic emo sound with a new twist.
Premiere: “Chemical Rut” by Beau Dega
Immediately when I heard Beau Dega’s voice scrolling through Instagram, I halted. It’s absolutely not something you hear every day. Resonant, nasally, and piercing, it's quite mesmerizing. His punk rock driving beats are psychedelic Beatles meet Bowie vibes mixed with modern lyrics that are catchy, playful, and potent. Grab yourself a big plate of pasta, a chunky cannoli, and sit yourself down for a fun ride of Holy Cannoli.
New Music You Should Be Listening To: Part Seven

A Sneak Peak into the mind of the DayDreamer
Musical savant and Alaskan local, Robert Xavier Newman, takes his thoughts and feelings into a relatable, exciting EP that is full of ease, technicality, and an entirely new genre of rock, soul, and violin.
The Most Anticipated Album by the Literal Actual MOST.
The 7-piece Math Rock band have taken their time finding a new octave of their luxurious voice within this album and that's exactly what you would want with a sophomore record. We craved development, change, but in a digestible way that made sense with the path they've spent years carving. In every way this album makes sense with making no complete sense, in only the way this eclectic rock band hailing from Connecticut could.
“Realign” with Tiyou & MXZ.
The funky, soulful EP is extremely cohesive. Not one song jumps out as erroneous, giving the entire album a beautiful tone and setting the mood…..Featuring Tiyou & MXZ straight out of Boston.
An Album Release That Takes The Cake
Charles Perrone (The Hello Stranger) walks and talks the life of a musician. Extremely enjoyable, quietly confident, and full of colors and thought; Charlie is just like his music. Each song explores a new full-bodied harmony that creeps up on you and does the opposite of haunt.
