Shine (Just Because) will be radiating your way on February the 21st


Following hot on the tail of the highly energetic corker of a track that was Firestorm, Andy continues to entertain EDM fans with another belter of a tune.

This time we are dazzled with the supercharged Shine (Just Because), with a powerful intro and equally powerful vocals, Andy continues to find the right formula for producing killer EDM Beats.

Straight from the fingertips of talented music producer Andy Sikorski, who made a name for him self working on such tracks before EDM was even part of our vocabulary.

Whilst growing up he was influenced by many different musical genres but his heart was always drawn to Electronic Dance Music (EDM).

Andy's musical journey began in his native Poland, where he achieved popularity on the underground demo music scene. He saw chart success as dSx! Design and produced music for renowned groups such as TRSI and Freezers.

Whilst composing and producing music for video games, commercials and short films, Andy continued to sharpen his skills which saw him work with notable companies such as Motorola and Kodak and also score the full soundtrack for video games like Warriors of Elysia, which featured rich orchestral arrangements.

In 2009 Andy released his album Reverie and following his success of producing Billboard sensations Sade Serena and Rachel Panay he is returning to his EDM roots.

Super Charged Rock from Austin, Texas



Blushes all round will guarantee to rock your senses with a super charged intro and some catchy guitar riffs.

I wanna be afraid goes all out with the drums and their lead vocalist has certainly got the rockstar vocals to match the powerful instrumental arrangements.

Love is nothing without eternity is a slower ballad, whilst i'm a fan of Sprightly Moans instrumental mastery their vocal stylings didn't really click with my musical tastes but after listening to this song there is a certain charm to the lead singer's voice.

The band describes their sound as Jimi Hendrix, Lightning Bolt, The White Stripes and The Bad Plus getting into a fist fight, where no one came out unscathed.

 The band have also received outstanding reviews from a slew of online music magazines.

 Chris Romans of Hear The Indie describes emotion as one of the main qualities of Demos III, specifically how as a band they manage to surpass his emotional expectations through their unique lyrical topics which often border on beautiful poetry.

 Sir Jorge of SellOutRecords.blogspot.com describes their music as an eclectic blend and one which proves to be an emblem of creativity.

 Chris Marsh of www.crossradar.com describes Love Is Nothing Without Eternity as a preciously fragile song which wouldn't be out of place on an indie movie soundtrack.

 Mike Giord describes I wanna Be Afraid as a true masterpiece.

That gives you some idea of what to expect from Sprightly Moans, who are an electric two piece band made up of Dave and Jeff from Austin Texas.

Powerful Vocals courtesy of Broadcast Hearts



With a lively and upbeat intro, powerful vocals deliver the catchy and memorable lyrics and with a beautiful melody Sails, Wings and Wheels is a enjoyable tune, plus top marks for their creative music video.

Broadcast hearts are a four piece pop/rock band from Connecticut and were formed in 2009.

 The line up consists of:

 Avery Bazan - Lead Vocals/Piano
Ted Ferik - Drums
Justin Molfese - Backing Vocals/Bass Guitar
Blake Burgess - Backing Vocals/Synth

 Their musical influences include Coldplay, Mumford and Sons and One Republic.

 The band have already had the good fortune of performing at various venues in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts,  Pennsylvania and Delaware.

 In 2009 Avery met Ted when the two began performing together and then Justin joined them on Bass, along with Conrad Mckenzie on Synth and thus Broken Hearts were born.

 Initially using songs Avery had written towards the end of high school, it wasn't long till they began working on new music.

 They started performing, firstly in Connecticut and the following year in New York, which also saw them start on their first EP.

 It was also at this time that Conrad was replaced by Chris, but the band continued and the EP was recorded without the luxury of a professional studio and in 2011 it debuted and received airplay not only in Connecticut but also in Ireland.

 As Avery and Justin finished college, the band moved in together to strengthen their musical relationship. 2012 saw them receive guidance from established musicians and they raised $10,000 on Kickstarter to fund the professional recording of their 2nd EP - The Anchor Rising.

 Chris left the band and was replaced by Blake Burgess, which takes us to the current line up.

The Suburb gives a creative makeover to a 1979 Classic


www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1jlI-s3-Rs&feature=youtu.be

 The Suburb is a one man music machine, with an amazing vocal range, instrumental mastery, showmanship and creative genius, he entertains us with his wonderful reworking of The Buggles classic Video killed the Radiostar.

 The Suburb is Spanish Indie Rock Musician Raül Bonilla, he is currently taking part in the one year one song a week challenge from November 2013 to October 2014.

 His professional music career started with the release of two albums, Life Is Rara in 1997 and A in 2001 as part of experimental Garage Rock Band Placton.

 Placton's Keyboard Player Adri A joined forces with The Suburb and formed hip hop duo 2in-par, who released their self named album 2in-par in 2005, this album achieved success as one of the year's best Spanish records.

 He also found time to perform backing vocals for the likes of Macaco and Calima until 2011, it was then he released the Paroxismo EP as Placton where he was the only instrumentalist.

 At the age of 16 Raül wanted to have a band so he found four musicians, including a vocalist/guitarist and it was agreed he would be their tambourine player as long as they performed songs he had written. The vocalist/guitarist struggled with singing and playing, so Raül ended up as the band's vocalist.
