‘Sleep Patterns Repeating’ By Camens: The Next Big Indie Sensation?
I stumbled upon an electrifying song by the Stoke-on-Trent band Camens, named ‘Sleep Patterns Repeating‘, and it immediately hooked me with its catchy tune. It’s a neat indie gem, well-produced, polished to perfection and likely to grab the attention of rock fans on the lookout for fresh sounds. Camens seems set to become a major player […]
Leah Callahan’s ’90s Inspired Track ‘Super’ from ‘Curious Tourist’
Boston songwriter and performer Leah Callahan has just released her fourth album this decade, ‘Curious Tourist.’ And, it has to be said, it’s a belter! It’s been getting serious play here at TIG, and we’re really enjoying the Britpop/Shoegaze/Indie Pop vibe. The album journeys through sounds reminiscent of greats like Blur, Lush, The Cardigans, PJ Harvey, and […]
‘now or never’ – myah: A Fantastically Catchy Pop/Alt-Rock Fusion
Born and raised in Florida, talented songwriter, myah returns with the fantastically crafted ‘now or never’; which at its very core is a love song, that expertly blends elements of pop and alternative rock. Now, I’m not one for lazy comparisons and sweeping generalisations, but there’s something comfortingly familiar about myah. Her music is easy to listen to. […]
‘Only Fans’ – Giack Bazz: Sex-Sells, But Who’s Buying?
Giack Bazz’s ‘Only Fans’ is interesting. More for its narrative content and heady aspiration’s, derived from a somewhat detailed, instructive and informative press kit; ‘how distant from the adult content industry is making music nowadays?’ It’s an interesting concept, but one I’m at odds with, so will stick to reviewing the song. I’m not a […]
‘Whiskey Blues’ Marks a Dynamic Debut for Shyfrin Alliance
Eduard Shyfrin is a very interesting chap. And, I mean, very interesting. The story is outlined brilliantly on the website (link below), but in short, Eduard originally trained in piano in Ukraine, pursued a career in metallurgy and business before a personal crisis prompted him to re-evaluate his path. Turning to Kabbalah and science, he […]
‘Sacrifice’ By LLeow: It’s Never Too Late To Become A Rock Star
Is it possible to achieve rock stardom after passing your thirties and hitting the milestone of forty? LLeow passionately advocates for pursuing one’s desired path in life, regardless of age. She has grappled with the idée fixe of being a role model and the feeling of stagnation for years, but now she’s pioneered her own […]
‘Captive’ – Fury Of A Dying Planet: Riff Heavy And Morally And Ethically Aware
Fury of A Dying Planet are a socially aware and environmentally conscious metal project based in London led by Doug Rimington. After previous releases, ‘Bloodied Fjords’ and ‘Repetition to Extinction,’ they return with, ‘Captive’; a song about vivisection (something we at The Indie Grid are stringently opposed to) that is both thematically and musically uncompromising. […]
‘Rebound’ – Timothy Jaromir: Storytelling At Its Finest With This New Folk Ballad
Timothy Jaromir has just released something very special. ‘Rebound’ represents the best collaborative female/male vocal I’ve heard since Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan on ‘Hawk.’ Everything else I add from this point on is pertinent, but just ‘gilding the lily.’ So, you can either read on or watch the live YouTube performance or download the […]

Influenced by acts like the Talking Heads and Eurythmics, he fuses indie rock with synth-rock vibes. ‘Need Me’ takes you on a psychedelic journey, showing that Sam is capable of fusing sounds and styles into one solid […]
