Hey Colligettes!
Today I’m bringing to you five new Indie Rock artists you NEED to listen to! Each one having unique and tasteful style that you won’t get sick of!
1.Harbour:
Harbour is a fairly new indie rock band. It was formed in 2014 and the members are from Cincinati, Ohio. They’re new album has been on repeat for weeks now. Ryan Greens voice is so unique and has great range, you’ll understand why I cannot get enough.
Members: Ryan Green: Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard, Percussion
Levi Snyder: Bass, Vocals
Harrison Miller: Drums
Matt Starcher: Guitar, Vocals
Songs To Listen To: While their entire self-titled album is amazing, I do have some favorites.
1.Cardinal: I absolutely love the intrumentals in this song. Check it out here.
(unfortunately the other songs are not on Youtube, so check out their bandcamp to listen to their entire album!)
2. February: Catchy as hell.
3.What Happened To Us?:This song gives me all the feels. It is so powerful and the guitar kills it.
2.Hippo Campus:
Hippo Campus is absolutely one of my favorite bands of all time! I’ve seen them in concert and that had to be the highlight of my 2015! They are a group from St. Paul and I have never seen so much talent! All of them can sing and play a vast variety of instruments and they are all underage! Got to hand it to the younger generation for taking the Alt World by storm. Hippo Campus is a force not to be reckoned with.
Members: Jake Luppen: Vocals, Guitar
Nathan Stocker: Guitar
Whistler Allen: Percussion
Zach Stutton: Bassist
Songs To Listen To:
1.Dollar Bill: This song makes me want to get up, dance and shout the lyrics from the roof of my apartment. Check it out here
2.Violet: This is the first song I listened to on their new Ep, “South” (check out the album) I fell in love with it and now I listen to it at least three times a day. Check it out here.
3. Suicide Saturday:This is possibly their claim to fame. It is catchy, witty and amazing. Check it out here.
3. House of Lions:
Okay, So I may be a little obsessed with this band. From Camden, House of Lions is taking the Alternative world by storm. With their witty and charming lyrics and sexy voice, you’ll be thanking me when you give them a listen. My sisters and I cannot get enough of them and we have developed crushes on each of the band members (they’re just so good looking) and oh man that voice!
Members: Ed Vyvyan: Vocals
Tom Rea: Lead Guitar
Dougal Gray: Guitar
Will Ryder: Bass Guitar
Jake Gidley: Drums
Songs To Listen To: (Check out all of their songs here)
1. Uncruel: My first song I was ever introduced to (thank you Spotify discover page!). You’ll fall in love with the instrumental, lyrics and sound- I promise this song is golden.
2. Supernova: I fell head over heels for this and I just cannot get enough. My day just isn’t the same unless I listen to this song. Pure magic.
3. Perfect Fool: I am forever yours House of Lions (haha, you’ll understand what I mean when you give it a listen).
4.Noah Gundersen:
Where do I begin? Noah Gundersen is quite possibly my soul mate.He is from Seattle, Washington and may be one of the most talented people I have had the pleasure of listening to. His lyrics-beautiful, his vocals-beautiful, his songs-pure genuis. The most soulful out of the five but perhaps the most raw talent. You’ll know what I mean when you hear the songs, chills run down my spine and hopefully you’ll feel the same way.
Members: Noah Gunderson (The one and only)
Songs To Listen To:
1. Cigarettes: Witty, humorous, and powerful. The first song I had ever hear from him. You’ll enjoy the metaphor as much as the song. Check it out here.
2.BoatHouse:His vocals are hauntingly beautiful. You can tell how much he loved Caroline. Check it out here.
3.Ledges: One of his most popular, and rightfully so. Chilling. Check it out here.
5. ISLANDS:
Last but not least we have my current obsession, Island! They are from London, England. This talented foursome has extremely laidback and enoyable music.
Members: Rollo Doherty
Jack Raeder
James Wolfe
Toby Richard
Songs To Listen To:
1.Girl: They’re newest and greatest. Check out this and all of their songs here.
2.Star Gazer: The most relaxed out of the three songs I am telling you to listen to. It is so good.
3. I’ve Been Searching:The guitar kills, the vocals kill. One of my favorites.
That concludes the 5 bands I want you to check out!
Happy Listening,
HCXO
