There’s an interesting show at The Bell House on Friday August 7 featuring four rather unconventional emerging NYC bands – we are streaming their music below. Corporal (pictured), playing the headliner slot, is an alt folk project that at its best sounds like a folkier and more acoustic version of Beck, we are digging this single from their 2010 self titled debut album.

.357 Lover is a band that, according to their bandcamp tags, plays glam rock and aims at enterteining fans both at arenas and the dinner table. Their latest single ‘Song of Anya,’ inspired by the character from Game of Thrones, features celtic elements and not much in terms of glam influences, but it does have an arena rock/dinner table kind of feel to it – whatever that may suggest!

Mesiko, on stage at 8.30, is a band that received Deli-love before, and has been active since 2011. The trio plays an eclectic mix of roots rock and psychedelia, with alternating male/female vocals and occasional noir tinges. Their latest record ‘Solar Door‘ never ceases to surprise and deserves a listen.

Opening the night will be the most unconventional band on the bill, called Soft Gang, fronted by Japanese (we assume) singer Kaori Nakamura. The group doesn’t have any recordings yet, but this live demo showcases heavy post punk inclinations.
