Girl Pop from Big Wave

a1599649102_2In the wake up Rilo Kiley and Standard Fare passing into the abyss of great bands, I’ve been looking for something to perfectly fill my need for girl-fronted pop rock.  This latest single from Big Wave has me excited for what positive things are sure to come in the future from the group.  While there may be some dark subject matter, you wouldn’t be able to tell by the emotional pull of the music, giving off a powerful boost of energy.  This new single is, as usual, brought to you by the great folks over at Art is Hard Records.

More New Music From Gems

About a month ago B.Gray posted on a beauty of a song by indie pop band GEMS, and I’ve got another tasty little tune here for you today.  It’s definitely a bedroom pop song featuring some great female vocals from Lindsay Pitts.  You’d probably immediately compare the band to the likes of early Stars material, and I see that as a flattering comparison.  This song “All I Ever” is the latest single from the band which is only the second piece of recorded material we have.  Stay tuned in 2013 as we update you on their goings on.

Splendid Girl Pop from Liechtenstein

How this band snuck under my radar yet again is beyond me, but I’m glad I stumbled across their new album today.  It’s titled Fast Forward, and it just came out this week on Fraction Discs, the band’s Swedish label.  Last time out, the band had support from Slumberland Records, but it’s not like they’ll need the extra love, as this album certainly speaks for itself. This time around the record’s got a lot more bounce to it, and the girls seem to have tightened things up just a bit, making it a bouncy collection of really solid tracks. Definitely worth your time and dollars!
