Pleased to Meet You: Alma Jette

Leave a comment

To be fair, we’ve met most of the members of Alma Jette before; singer and songwriter Mary Bryce has long been featured on our site since her day sin Smiile. This new project, however, is huge in its approach, letting Bryce’s voice serve as the dominating force that billows through your speakers. That’s fitting, as the band’s debut LP, I Found a Reason, serves as a sort of coming-of-age, with Mary finding the footing with the power that we’ve all known was there all along. This track, recorded live, features some other great musicians from our old ATX scene such as Will Maxwell and Alex Riegelman (Big Bill), leading us to believe that we’re all in store for a powerhouse debut performance from Alma Jette.

Another Rad Red Channel Tune

Leave a comment

I feel like I could listen to Red Channel every day. The LA act just shared another tune from the redone and soon to be reissued Crazy Diamonds EP (the EP originally came out in 2018), and dammit if it’s not a jam and a half. It’s got this sure-fire punk vibe, especially with the way some of the vocals are delivered, but beneath it, there’s this soulful nod to R&B/doo-wop that gives the track an undeniable catchiness. Plus, the rhythm section is spot-on throughout the entirety of the track, particularly the bass work bumping in and out during the verses. This song is fire! The whole EP drops on April 19th via Upset the Rhythm.

Quirky 50’s Inspired Indie Rock From Summer Twins

The LA based group gives you 50’s style vocal harmonies with harken to the girl group aesthetic of that time, but then the guitars have a bit of snarl and psychedelic buzz to them. Take a listen and get ready for Limbo out October 2nd on Burger Records.
