Life In Film
London indie-rock quartet Life In Film will release their debut LP this Spring and to celebrate the accomplishment the band have released one of the catchiest damn singles I have heard in quite some time. “Get Closer” is classic Britpop at its finest! Packed to the brim with dance hooks,
NEEDS
You’re probably thinking “We have literally 6 feet of snow outside and you want me to listen to a band from Canada??” But hold your horses. NEEDS are from Vancouver, my hometown, and I can tell you that we don’t actually all have pet polar bears there or
Natalie Prass
Nashville musician Natalie Prass has begun the next phase of her musical journey with the recent release of her self-titled debut album, via Spacebomb records. The Cleveland born singer-songwriter cut her chops playing shows in and around the Virginia beach area, attended Berklee College of Music here in Boston, became
Shake Shake Go

the nuclears
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BId86m-TCj4[/youtube] Did you, like me, spend an hour and a half shoveling hip-high snow this morning? And that was just round one? Then what you need is this video (and perhaps also hot chocolate with booze in it). It’s literally the
Ex Hex

Dan & The Wildfire
Boston’s roots-rock extraordinaire Dan & The Wildfire have been honing their unique blend of southern-folk-soul for a number of years now, and with their forthcoming third album, Bull Moose, set to be released this spring, the quintet’s hard work is making many a New Englander wish they were
swanky tiger
How’s your Wednesday going? Kind of dull and chilly? This will help. NYC’s Swanky Tiger has a dirty glam sound that is anything but dull, and singer/guitarist Oliver Myles Mashburn’s sneering delivery is also the opposite of chilly. Seriously, there is something about that little trail-off
divers
Portland, Oregon. A town with its own tv show. A town I nearly lived in. A town that I have a very brief and specific feud against this particular year (US Air Guitar National Championships needs to be in Boston this year!). Don’t hold that feud against it, though,
Monophona
There is a certain type of music you hear in your dreams. The sound of moving between the shadows, unseen and stealthy. Luxembourg trio Monophona recreate that dreamy sound quite well, and the new single, “Thumb,” is a hypnotic blend of acoustic-folk/trip-hop, perfectly suited for subconscious adventures. Band members
Prateek Kuhad
With 2014 in the rearview mirror it’s time for the folks here at Music Savage to start looking ahead at all the great new music standing by to make 2015 something special. One of the musicians with an album on the way has already set the bar pretty high
Bahamas
The practice of ranking the year’s albums is certainly one that I approach with some hesitation. Like Kyle, I was tempted to not even try to rank them. I mean, ask me what the best album of the year is and — depending on my mood and the day’s
