Elour

 

"Fade", the first single from Elour's debut full length album "Blood Running", excites and pleases with a delicious blend of rock rhythms and pop stylings.

Listening you may be reminded of Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Blondie, Garbage, or Elastica. Sort of, but not quite. It recalls the past and adds something new that's hard to pinpoint, but easy to groove to.

It's cynical, aggressive lyrics about the life expectancy of a new relationship are, according to songwriter and lead vocalist Elizabeth Ghandour, applicable to any 'bright and shiny' new thing in an attention deficit world, be it a new partner, new drug, new car, new app, new location, etc.

Clocking in at a brisk 3:15, it won't demand too much of your attention, but it will keep it.

HiSQ & Jessie Galante

Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee Some More,” the 7th single by HiSQ, is a praise for rock ’n’ roll.

The lyrics were co-written with featured singer Jessie Galante from Buffalo, New York. She believed that the song was about how you should allow the force of the music you love overtake you and that you can never get enough of it.

The song has an infectious stomping beat and the guitars were influenced by Wilko Johnson, who had recently passed away when the band went into the studio. Playing guitar without a guitar pick gave the song extra roughness honoring him as the great guitarist from the band Dr. Feelgood.

The second half of the song demonstrates to everyone how captivating rock music can be.
Once the song is over, you'll probably want to listen to it again in part because of Jessie’s impressive vocals.

Wild Wisteria

In the words of music reviewer Jon Wright: 'Fans of monumental Rock energies and emotionally available, deeply positive lyricism, will find themselves completely hooked by the sound and style of Wild Wisteria! Incredible overall sound! Start to finish.'

Wild Wisteria is both the band name and title track of the third album. The source of inspiration comes from the woody twining vine, with beautiful purple flowers, that will climb and tangle its tentacles around anything in its path. A wisteria plant is resilient and keeps coming back, no matter how often it is cut. Wild Wisteria seemed like a metaphor for the human qualities that singer-songwriter, Malcolm Raedel, most admires in life.

The song has been included on the compilation albums, "#1 Best Rock Singer Songwriters "and "Carefree Summer (25 Chill & Feel-Good Tunes)" on the Compigram label.

Rezo

Rezo is the musical project of Irish duo Colm O’Connell and Rory McDaid who is based in Spain. Initially a virtual collaboration borne out of the Covid pandemic (Rezo means “I pray” in Spanish) the pair released their critically acclaimed debut album Travalog in May 2021. Recorded entirely remotely, UNCUT Magazine described it as an “atmospheric calling card from a band who inhabit a hazy hinterland between melodic electronica and the moodier proto-Americana of say Sparklehorse or Mercury Rev. The varying sonic palettes weave together beautifully...” Monolith Cocktail called it “a real achievement; a triumph of great melody, feel, and above all songwriting.” Their follow-up album Sew Change is out now. Folk Radio UK called it “even more remarkable” and “proof that Rezo are still at the forefront of generating fresh and creative collages of sounds. This is what great music is capable of being.” Recorded in Dublin’s Darklands studio with Dan Doherty (Fontaines DC), Sew Change channels effortlessly evocative melodies and immaculate arrangements into songs that mine the innocence of the past to make sense of a more complicated present. Musically it moves from soft acoustic openers that call to mind Wilco to McCartney-esque piano ballads and on to the electronic pop of say Hot Chip or Grandaddy.
