Rangeline

Today I have been listening to the Rangeline record by a newcomer, for me at least: Joel Levi. This americana singer-songwriter has just released this record, his first and is impressing in the states. Although he sometimes tends to the poppy-side, this is fine on this record since he shows versatility. He is helped by a lovely alternative country band, together they sound very harmonic. This is definitely for fans of John Mayer, Dawes, Ryan Adams and perhaps even Fleet Foxes. Very Harmonic band. The year is young, but this record stands out for me.

DMA's @ London Calling: a band with some serious potential

You could assume that London Calling is all about british bands, well that's not the case. not anymore at least. Still DMA's were by far the most britpop-like band scheduled in Paradiso. Think The Verve or Oasis. Clearly blowing the audience of their feet with their somewhat surprising stage presence. They were playing like they are used to audiences of this size. They should get used to it quickly, cause they will be drawing some attention soon. Even the ballads were great and I'm not even a ballad kind-of-guy. Potential hit after potential hit. Great band. Keep an eye out for them.

But first check out this video. And....... you're hooked.

Enjoy!

Onfortunately, Arcade Fire's we exist didn't win an EMA. (What A Surprise)

So I guess I'll just have to continue spreading the word about good, yet underappreciated music.

Today, a band is returning with new material. A band I truly love. Dutch Uncles.

Their math-like off-beat synth-pop is more intense than you can hear at first listen.

Now with soul added to the mix. is a breakthrough on the cards here? Yes. Go out and go see this band.

Tomorrow, many playlist updates and another highlight from London Calling.

Enjoy!

Daily Pick #333

And we're at 333. Peace has been a band I've been following since I saw them live almost 1.5 years. Still a bit green on stage, but at least their songs were earwurms. This is no exception. None of their tracks are. This might as well be the new britpop anthem. I even hear some Stone Roses in this magnificent, funky and smooth 6 minutes.

Peace - World Pleasure
