The Multiplex...Closed Again by Matthew Mirliani
Solid laid back chill track. Production works. If I had to nit pick I do not like the jarring keyboard sounds at the 1:00 and 1:51 mark. It breaks the vibe. I will share on our Twitter account

Catch Me If I Fall by TC TENET - Topic
very well produced. The switchover at the 20 second mark was a little jarring but it did get my attention. There is a soothing vibe underneath but other layers that keep the song going and interesting.

Big Sky/Mount Cardigan by Trailerhome Hydroplane
Very relaxing listen. Would be ideal for meditation style playlists. Good mix.

Deflect, Dissolve by Wrené
Great sound and production. Unique and haunting. Keep doing what you are doing. Wrené is on to something here.

Where Were You? by Trailerhome Hydroplane
Definitely a unique sound. A little too niche for my tastes but there is something there. Has a slightly "toy instrument" sound. Not a bad thing necessarily but has to find that specific audience. The band Mountain Goats comes to find for a similar audience style.
Nicholas Garza submitted media.
The vibe is good and does the song justice. Vocal delivery has a nice pace. In my opinion the production and mix could use some work. Levels seem uneven and disjointed at times. A good mastering may fix this.

AssMazing by SPIKY, Honorebel
Solid catchy beat that keeps the flow going. Nice switches to keep the audience engaged. Obviously the video is a star here. We will share it on our Twitter account.
What Can I Do? by Ten Minute Detour
Very smooth sound. It blends nicely with the return of the 'Yacht Rock' sound. Easy listening with emotion.
Ricardo Temporao submitted media.
Through a Phase by BRUTUSBEGINS
Very interesting a unique mix of sounds. Nice vocal range paired with instruments from all over the map. Cool direction shifts as well.

Mistakes by Reins - Topic
Cool and interesting sound. The staccato vocal delivery really grabs attention. A unique song that could grab the alternative sound waves.

anything (Official Video) by Sahati
very beautiful melody and vocal delivery. The drumbeat coming in is a nice attention grabber as well. Entertaining video as well.

Gold by Nathan Colberg
Solid summer banger! Smooth vocal with a strong beat. Could hear this one blasting out of cars at the beach this summer.

That's What I Like by Henry Alexander
Really enjoying the more rocking sound for Henry Alexander here. Love the bass tone, guitar solo, and the vocal style of "That's What I Like" Keep in touch at IndieBandGuru.com

BLACK MAN ON THE MOON by GLAD PHANTOM
catchy beat keeps the listener engaged while the poignant lyrical flow shares a real message. Good stuff

Love Me Tinder by Emma Di Lemma
Fun song with a heart pounding beat. Even funner when you absorb what the song is really about.
Michael Ige submitted media.
Distant Dream- (Lyric Version) by Uncle Tadashi & Da Boyz
Not one of your best tracks in my opinion. The message and story are clear but the song just doesn't grab attention and offer the fun of the past music that you sent us.
Robert Dauphinais submitted media.
Railhead (don't let the darkness get you) by thingsbehindthesun
Solid raw punk sound. The lyrics are deep at points. If I had to nitpick, the guitar melody may get a little too repetitive.
Phoebe Silva submitted media.
YOU'RE NOT MY FRIEND by Phoebe Silva X The Warm Blooded
Video is very good. Good classic groove to the song.

Naturally - Nick Arneson - Official Music Video by Nick Arneson
Entertaining video and excellent use of sound. Solid programming of the beats.
Daulton Hopkins submitted media.
Pretty Obsession by Daulton Hopkins
Smooth production. Nice use of the full sonic spectrum. If I had to nitpick, it may need some breaks of the beat to keep the attention of the listener. I like your story. Flesh out your artist bio a little more. Get in touch with your next single to possibly set up a premiere. Reach out at Keith@IndieBandGuru.com

Unspool My Heart by 9 o'clock Nasty
Catchy groove. and always an interesting topic.

Let's Talk About Your Boyfriend by Nine O'Clock Nasty
Definitely an interesting track. I think it pushes your brand well. I may turn the vocals up a little in the mix. They should be the highlight.

Milky hands by Sahana Naresh
Very beautiful song. The listener can feel the emotion in your laid back vocals. The ukulele does add a nice element to keep the song cute and gives it a kind of beach vibe. We will share it on our socials.
Within You (feat. Gisun & Anh Phung) by Stephen James Orr
Smooth vibe perfect for the summer. The flute is incredible. We added the track to out new Sun Sand Indie playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3buvqPe1DuFhBFJdJW2OCY?si=ee8d29c998374891 Please follow and share the playlist too.

I Walk Alone by The Daily Spreadsheets
Has a raw sound that hits that underground indie genre well. The straight up beat keeps the groove going well. If I had to nit pick on something, the vocals seem a little whiny.

The Most Delightful Dirge by The Meskimo
Cool chill vibe with some psychedelia thrown in for good measure. Good background music.
Roy Freeman submitted media.
Oliver by Gal Musette
nice vocal delivery. Very pretty song. The male vocal (is that Rufus?) breaks up the song nicely to grab the listener.
Roy Freeman submitted media.
Gal Musette- Summertime (Official Music Video) by Gal Musette
Beautifully unique vocals. The interesting beat and instrumentation keep the attention of the listener as well. Quality songwriting. Honestly, I expected a different tone with the title "Summertime". I was pleasantly surprised.

Disaffected Scrolling Thru by Incendiary Sweet
Solid songwriting. The opening is quite different. Kind of feels like 2 separate songs. Not sure about commercial viability. Possibly with a bigger production style and focus. Personally I like the rockin' section more. Early PR would probably mention the wheelchair-bound front woman angle but then could focus on the music after that. It is rare (especially in the rock vein) so it would be a catching point.

I Miss You (Sarah's Theme) by Ricky Moore
I like the raw effects laid down on this one. Kind of a future/punk sound. Lots of sounds coming together in a mellow way sometimes and jarring way at others.
Charlie Duda submitted media.
Marbles by Charlie Duda
Congrats on the release. Fun little melody that gets real catchy. Has a throwback feel to 60's pop. If I had to nitpick it takes a little too long to get to the meat of the song/vocals
Charlie Duda submitted media.
Really Really by Charlie Duda
Nice sound bringing back memories of the mellow mid 90's alt-rock. Solid production. I may pop the lyrics a little more in front to grab attention with the chorus.
Nice to see you again by Jack Hamill
Definitely think you are on to something. Unique voice that drips emotion. The drenched production works on this song. I'd like to see you explore other production styles too.

Tell The Future by Henry Alexander
I like the way the song attacks right away. Vocals are unique. Cool insertion of innovative sounds as well.
Frederic Winther submitted media.
Radio Sound by Nova Waves
Definitely an Elliot Smith vibe but kicked up with a more modern sound. Cool song that is pop-relatable but extends into other realms. And yes the melody does creep its way into the listener's subconscious!
Natalie Barth submitted media.
Horoscope by Natalie Barth
I like how the production builds from relatively simple at the start to a mix of many sounds as the song progresses. An intriguing song that I feel has potential. If I had to nit pick, the hook could grab more. A little too similar sounding to the rest of the track.
Solid! I like the simple beat allowing the focus to be on the flow. Video is well made too. If I had nitpick, I would look for a catchier hook. Good work

3 AM by Clifford
The dark electro beat is quite mesmerizing. Not sure about the repeated verse. It gets a little repetitive (but it sticks in my head so....) The sped up verse is really good and creates some energy to change it up.
Annalisa Giolo submitted media.
Invisible City by Inanna
Fantastic video. Multiple great visuals. The emotional vocals push forward the meaning of the song well. Keep connecting with the community to build a raving fanbase.
Marcelo Quinonez submitted media.
Painful and Slow by Marcelo Quinonez ft. 33trees
Solid song with a strong message. The afro-latin flair adds an interesting element that draws attention. This song could connect with listeners on an emotional level.
Henry Alexander submitted media.
Crush by Henry Alexander
Good attention grabbing song. The emotion pours out in the vocals. The video is well made as well. Top notch stuff, especially for a newer artist.
Niamh Watson submitted media.
Sugar by Niamh Watson
Smooth beautiful voice (amazed Niamh is only 16!). Sweet summery song that creeps into your head.
Gabriel Bass submitted media.
I Got Your Light by Kora Karuna
The interesting experimentation grabs attention. (It may get a little repetitive, in my opinion though) Great imagery in the video to tell the story.
To The Top by Cluttered Clarity
Definitely has a catchy groove and solid beat. The vocals are mixed very well. The horns mix it up a little. The song may appeal to an older crowd trying to hold onto their youth
In The Unknown by Nelss
cool synth pop sound. The beat is solid. I might like to hear a bigger bass drum to keep the beat in the dance music vibe. Keep making contacts with other artists in the scene. That is the best way to build. Work together.
Bre Cabin submitted media.
Rhiannon's Synthetics by Bre Cabin
It is certainly different. The song seems to go in a lot of different directions. Odd mix. The pieces are pretty but a little too 'arty' for my taste.
