Once upon a time (aka when we started this show last summer) we featured a weekly segment in which we would introduce new artists and/or new albums that were either released very recently or are upcoming. This week introduces four brand new acts (in the sense that they're haven't had official releases, as well as in the sense that we've never played them on the show before) from around the world.
First up, we have Young Maverick. They're a young band from Australia set to release their debut EP Summer 2011/2012: Visit them here at their Facebook page. But first, here's a song off of their upcoming EP:
Young Maverick - "Reception Deception"
Next up we have Friends. A Brooklyn-based band, which I suppose makes them automatically hip, regardless of what their music sounded like, but luckily for them, they have the geographical location and the music to back up their "cool-factor." Visit them here at the single's Bandcamp page where you can buy it as well as a B-side. Unfortunately their name makes it nearly impossible to Google them, but you can find them on Facebook here.
Coastal Cities is a high school band based near London, England. Their first single "Thinktank" is off of their Transgressions EP set for release this fall. It's an incredibly impressive song for a band consisting of five seventeen year-old boys. Listen to more tracks over at their Myspace page or visit their Soundcloud page to listen to demos and an assortment of other songs.
And last, but certainly not least, is R E A L M A G I C. Although the name is equal parts annoying to read and even more annoying to type, the talent behind art school grad Drew Englander is certainly not annoying. He cites his influences as being "shoegaze, R&B, and Grime" and churns out effortless, synth-heavy songs with steady drum machine beats. Visit R E A L M A G I C here at his Facebook.
R E A L M A G I C - "Hard 2 Keep"
