TheWaylons_OutofLoveThe Waylons are a catchy indie four-piece band from Brooklyn, New York that have recently released an EP, Out of Love. The seven-song EP offers mostly laid back tracks and a well-constructed ‘indie rock’ sound.

Recorded in a train depot in Rupert, VT and apartments and hallways in Brooklyn, Out of Love offers memorable guitar-driven tracks that will have you listening to the album over-and-over, again.

The indie band’s instrumentally diverse sound has been compared to The Replacements, The Shins and Pavement.

What’s unique about The Waylons?

mass-fam1Midnight Masses is an ever-expanding collective of mostly Brooklyn-based artists, led and formed by Autry Fulbright in the wake of his father’s untimely death in 2008.

On any given night the band could be a lean ensemble of its core members or an imposing 14-piece collection of string players, organists, and guests pulled from any number of Brooklyn’s finest bands – including Trail of Dead’s Kevin Allen, Jason Reece and Conrad Keely, TV on the Radio’s Gerard Smith and Jaleel Bunton, the bewitching Katie Eastburn, Peter Hale of Here We Go Magic, and more.

newcollisionIn just over six months, Boston’s The New Collisions have gone from an unknown club band to one of the northeast’s hottest acts. Fresh off a national tour with The B-52s and Blondie, they are gearing up for the release of their debut EP, Invisible Embraces, on November 17.

Greg Hawkes, the legendary keyboard player from The Cars, happened to catch one of the band’s first shows. Over the spring, he worked with the band and with platinum-selling producer Anthony Resta (Duran Duran, Missing Persons), another early fan.

“We want The New Collisions to be about everything we love,” says Sarah Guild, 23, the band’s platinum-haired frontwoman. “Fashion, art, melody, great lyrics–all the things that make pop music timeless. But to see it come together this quickly has been simply incredible.”

jaynash-02-bigThe multi-genre rock inspired artist, Jay Nash, has added tour dates to send off the summer season starting July 16 to September 26. The independent musician is touring in support of his latest release EP, All the Stars in Copenhagen.

“It was fun little recording to make…first in Copenhagen, then in Berlin and finished up in LA with David Immergluck and Seth Atkins Horan,” Nash posted on his Myspace blog.

Nash is coming off a benefit performance, which helped raise almost $11,000 for Save the River.

“Save the River protects the delicately balanced environmental and socioeconomic interests of the 1000 Islands region of the St. Lawrence River in upstate NY,” Nash also posted on the blog.

scotthardkissIndie musician Scott Hardkiss has released a teaser to his long-awaited debut album, Technicolor Dreamer. The You’re the Star EP (available now on all download services) is a searing, guitar-laced, electronic dance-pop buffet. 

Jose Luis Pardo AKA “DJ Afro” of Los Amigos Invisibles shows up at the end and brings it all home with an electric solo so mind-melting it would make Jimi proud.  The Prophetz participated, but we’ll never tell.

It is catchy as hell & easy to dance to, and the perfect teaser for Scott’s debut album Technicolor Dreamer.
