Electro pop duo, Shuteye, is gearing up for the release of their debut album, “Hush Hush”, set to drop November 27. The duo has released several tracks for the album through 2012 including their single "Heart and Stone" back in February. One of my favorite tracks from the new album is "Sun Night Sky" which they released via the video below last month.

Shuteye are performing a Halloween set, Saturday Oct. 27th at Revengers Halloween Party.

Marie Hahn

Posted on:

There is something about crisp autumn air and acoustic folk tunes. Marie Hahn recently released her first ep, The Place Were Things Don’t Change, and it simple, honest, and a nice little discovery. Hahn’s note on her bandcamp page is "I’ve just finished this EP, and have worked quite hard on it, so please give it a listen", and so I did and enjoyed what I heard. The presentation is a little raw, but her voice is beautiful and her writing is heartfelt.

Marie Hahn’s is available for download for whatever you think is fair and you can catch at Tonic Room on November 6th.

Health&Beauty Wintermagic

Posted on:

At it’s core, Health&Beauty is the work of Brian J Sulpizio and Berijamin Boyle. The band has been together since 2004 and have spent a lot of time perfecting the specific styles and sounds covered on their epic new album Wintermagic. The album was released by Perilous Records late last month and it is as epic as an wight track release can be.

You can catch Health&Beauty at Cole’s on Oct. 28th.

The Vliets “Pale Solar Stream”

Posted on:

The Vliets have released the second video from their new ep God’s Drug. The band released the ep late last month and have been receiving a lot of well deserved praise. Ty Bohrnstedt is the driving force behind this Dallas band now splitting time between Dallas and Chicago. I haven’t seen any local shows scheduled but I am excited to see the synth driven psych-pop band take the stage.
