WD-HAN matched the chaos of the universe in their raucously seductive feat of electrifying indie rock n roll, Straight Lines

Posted on 24 November 2022

Rock n’ Roll provocateurs WD-HAN are in lascivious form in their latest single, Straight Lines. After an Arctic Monkeys-Esque intro, Straight Lines quickly evolves into a blisteringly hot indie rock renegade of a track, full of raucous swagger, seductive vocal lines and riffs that will sucker-punch you into sonic submission.

WD-HAN has scintillated us with every release since they appeared on our radar in 2019 with their single, Spaceman. With a sound ever-evolving yet never veering from what makes them so viscerally raw yet tightly finessed, if you haven’t got them on your radars yet, what are you even doing with your lives?

Straight Lines throws away any sense of existentialism. While so many of us doomscroll on Twitter to justify living in fear and stagnation, WD-HAN proves that you can still be a force to be reckoned with and match the chaos of the universe.

After dominating the Floridian rock n roll scene, WD-HAN has recently relocated to LA, where they’re set to make their mark after opening for the likes of Paramore, Walk the Moon, Silversun Pickups and Kaleo.

Straight Lines will officially release on November 18th. Hear it on Spotify.

Free-thinker Palma Ada returns with funky Party Pop ‘’Straight Lines’’

Posted on 17 May 2020

My Mama said my first steps I took to get away, gotta know how things are made. ‘Palma Ada’ doesn’t conform to normal ways of thinking. Her website attests to that. Ada likes to do things differently and not be put into any box. For this, you have to respect her vision and she comes out swinging with her new Party/Pop single ‘’Straight Lines’’. With a cat purring in the background, this song is definitely not kitty litter.

A relatively new artist, who seems to enjoy the private life and for people not to know where she is from. After only being a published musician for 2 years, Alda has a powerful voice and her vibe reminds me of Jesse Reyez for some reason.

‘’Straight Lines’’ is the lead single from her debut EP of the same name. This style will win her many fans and let’s hope she can stay on the straight & narrow and not get caught up in the tempting ways of the music business.

This is the follow up to her dance infused ‘’Sister’’ from 2018 and the difference is quite striking. The standard has improved dramatically and she is definitely going in the right direction now. Palma suits this style of music as she can use her strong voice and honest lyrics to win fans over. She is also very honest and just wants to show us that you don’t have to fit a normal style to be successful.

Listen to Palma’s whole collection here on her Spotify account.
