Hailing from Tacoma, WA, AJ Dudick has a very interesting artistic project called The Migraine Aura. Growing up as a music lover, he became obsessed with Rock, Punk, Metal, and his favorite hobby of playing the guitar became his passion. Interestingly enough, the present-day pandemic motivated him to write and record his debut EP. This ear-pleasing material features the collaboration of five trained vocalists for each track.

You can discover his Shoegaze Pop world (Gloom-Pop style) with high-quality cuts produced by the artist himself. Most of these tunes are 100% radio-friendly, plus, the raw vibrant energy truly gives you goosebumps. In terms of versatility, you’ll enjoy strident, blistering guitar chords, different tones, and lyrics that push an attractive narrative about relatable things. Believe it or not, it took him just 4 months to complete this album. Furthermore, listeners will feel a strong The Smiths, The Cure, and New Order influence throughout. Seriously, there’s a classic vibe to it as well. Above all, I highly recommend you support this project especially because The Migraine Aura is donating a good portion of his earnings from this new EP to the American Civil Liberties Union.

Social Gravy keep the spirit of rock and roll alive through their latest single “Happening Now”.  The Los Angeles-based duo is made up of Brad Kohn (pianist) and Vee Bordukov (guitarist). Certainly, their sound is associated with truly organic instrumentation. For those who might want to feel some nostalgia, these prolific artists provide a chance to relive extraordinary memories.

Moreover, fans of Eric Clapton will find similarities and make conclusions to believe this cut is also an instant guitar classic. On the other hand, deep lyrics are rooted in notions of soulfulness. “Happening Now” is such a feel-good song that inspires self-reflection at all costs. Add to this, vibrant acoustics and drums that keep you engaged until the end. Without further ado, Social Gravy is a new breed of rockstars making emotional compositions that can hit you in your feels. Taking into account all this information, I would definitely play it on repeat.

What a great time to discover indie bands from Los Angeles. On this occasion, I would like to introduce you to Kuwalla and their new music video for “Sea Creature”. Nothing worth having comes easy, and every time behind success is hardworking. That being said, these guys get inspired in those emerging artists that expect immediate results. I truly think without putting time and energy into something dreams will never come true. That’s the reason why Kuwalla make a call to fellow counterparts to just trust the process. The literal “Sea Creature” resembles a lowly undiscovered creature at the bottom of the sea.

Certainly, lyrics are so inspiring in this competitive industry, in which over 10,000 tracks are added to Spotify on a daily basis. However, this doesn’t mean you have to throw in the towel. Aside from its concept, it is driven by a strident drumbeat while the guitar riff is bouncy. This is a nice tune designed to get you going. Lifting the lid with remarkable vocals too. Enjoy it.

Ben Trexel and Autumn Yatabe are the masterminds behind Space of a Day. Their new Alt-Rock single, “The World Is Watching” comes with a bold music video that you don’t want to miss. Hailing from Alabama, the band is at the forefront of the genre by embracing a forward-thinking production.

I’m loving the clip’s futuristic concept and visual effects that spark viewers’ imagination. Definitely, it makes justice to their experimental approach, plus, it also conveys the feelings found present in the lyrics. Best of all, the powerful vocals bless our ears, while the splendid guitar work truly sets this track apart from its predecessors. Speaking about the lyrics it tells the story of being obsessed with images of people in developing nations. My favorite line, ‘I can be human again’, makes you realize “The World Is Watching” also serves as a basic call to consciousness. Enjoy.

“Some People” by By Small Ruin is extremely haunting, plus, it’s an antidote to naysayers. His way with words and deep lyrics incite dreamers to pursue their goals in the face of haters. Besides that, the alternative rock instrumentals guided along by the union of drums and guitar are intensely good. The incredible chorus adds feeling to the track as the singer vents his courage about those with pessimistic views.

I support the idea that people throw rocks at things that shine. Whoever is trying to bring you down, just ignore them and build your own destiny. This is a positive song that reminds you of how valuable you and your dreams are. Listeners will feel victorious to have crossed their paths with Bryan Mullis, as the artist creates music with a purpose. Put on your headphones and enjoy a song full of bristling energy as his previous single “Feel Your Breathe”. What else could you ask for?…

Lyrics

Cast my lot

The only one that can take a shot

By myself a lot

I’m all alone, but I’m all I got

And there’s a growing trend

Some people want me to just give in

But I got news my friend

Some people will never box me in

Take you down a notch

Damned if you do, damned if you do not

You know it’s all a game to them

I’m gonna win it, rob them blind

And there’s a growing trend

Some people want me to just give in

But I got news my friend

Some people will never box me in

The less you give it, the more it takes

And unless you live it, it will fade away

Write it off to ‘my head’s in the clouds’, it can plague some people

Lighters up in a room with a crowd, let me find my people.

The more you give it, the less it takes

And until I live it, I won’t go away

There’s a growing trend

Some people want me to just give in

But I got news my friend

Some people will never box me in

Yeah

Some people want me to just give in

Oh, but I got news

Some people will never box me in

They’ll never box me in
