Learn From My Mistake: The Deserves tells us the true story of how ‘Love Is Strange’

Posted on 13 December 2021

Wrapped inside a highly-reflective tale of how a past relationship just appeared to sadly fade away like a lost shoe in the gusty wind, The Deserves explores the broad force of that weird feeling you can’t seem to ever explain on the breakup story of ‘Love Is Strange‘.

The Deserves is an indie-country band that performs amidst a vintage feel and carries you to a place that you can remember if you close your eyes long enough to recognise the time and place.

Guiding us into a somewhat sad story that transports you into a broken picture that was once so bright, The Deserves directs us into their world which is so pensive and sombre. This is the story of questioning why this didn’t work out, as the words fail and you put it down to bad timing to make you feel a bit better about the whole experience.

‘Love Is Strange‘ from the mysterious underground indie-country band The Deserves, is a thoughtful new single which will have you feeling so reminiscent about that previous relationship that just didn’t work out. You can’t explain why and it really eats at you ravenously – as you take another sip to water down the pain burning horrendously inside your fragile soul – and vow that the next one will be a more productive time for your heart to feel the true nurturing of a special soul.

Rather be single than be in the wrong romance is what they say.

What’s Your Excuse: Old Monk know that time will tell the true story eventually on ‘The Beach’

Posted on 7 November 2021

Taken from their highly well-received 4-track EP named ‘Monks In Paradise‘, Old Monk are quite splendid on their lastest sea-infused single called ‘The Beach‘.

Old Monk is a two-piece Melbourne, Australia-based indie alt-rock band. They make a catchy-on-the-soul blend of introspective vibrations, that certainly has your attention picked up quickly.

”Overindulging in reverb and being generally sad.” ~ Old Monk

This is the story about feeling let down and wondering how much more you can take, of someone who broke you down when you least expected it. There are stunning vocals expressing much frustration with a rampaging – but never overbearing melody and sexy solos – energy that gushes through the window and has you feeling so reflectively emotional.

‘The Beach‘ from the Melbourne, Australia-based indie alt-rock band Old Monk, is a fiery effort from a top notch Ozzie act who seem to have found their niche. Their music is totally honest, sad sometimes, while also bringing through a fresh sound to truly enlighten our conciousness to see things for what they really are. Sung with a catchy edge and with highly memorable riffs for days – this is the type of song to put on loud – when you need to move on from a moment, that is dragging you down underwater.

The vocals are made with love and sung with so much care – as the story unfolds from sadness to contentment – with a catchy beat that has you mightily fascinated with the texture wrapped inside.

‘Both‘ from the London, UK-based indie pop artist Boohoo, is a terrific song that has you feeling a wide set of feelings. At first things seemed gloomy, but then the light appeared so that you may find true purpose again. The journey was so tough and at times you thought that you could never let go of the bad energy that engulfed you, as you finally let go and found a true spark of life again.

Just like in life, you have to go through the bad to truly appreciate all the goodness.

We Go Through Hell: AM takes our minds to a striking story about how ‘Life Is Unfair’

Posted on 14 May 2021

As he sings with a worrying somber tone that might have you feeling rather introspective, AM sings with a honest energy on the well-constructed new single called ‘Life Is Unfair‘.

AM is a wildly underrated New Jersey-born, New York-based indie folk/pop/rock singer-songwriter and artist. He makes that authentic music that helps others deal with their sadness, as its an escape away from all the loneliness that can chomp you down like a character on Pac-Man.

” It is simultaneously a deeply personal and incredibly detached record. A contradiction of fact and fiction blended together to illustrate the focused yet blurry perspective of the unconventional artist. It’s just me, my guitar, and overdubs galore.” – AM

With such an honest voice and reflective lyrics, we are placed inside his quick-thinking mind that has seen life for its lows, as he struggles to get out of the lull and to starting thinking with more of a positive edge. His mindset shows us one that mirrors that of so many others — who are battling to dig themselves out of the slippery hole — that seems so hard to get out from.

‘Life Is Unfair‘ from New York indie singer-songwriter and artist AM, shows us the truth into this basement that has been his home during this extended isolation period of discontent. He sings with a movie-like style and has you thinking about how those bumps and bruises have brought you down for a reason. The challenge now is to climb up again and strive to change the swing of life, to make sure that it is now going your way.
