Pretty upset how long this one has been sitting in my inbox, I have been slacking lately. Making his FNT debut with Cocaine Cinderella is Jute$. The Toronto based Jute$ has an extremely unique sound that really connected with me. Despite being mostly a hip hop/ pop/ alternative listener in 2016, back in the day I grew up on a lot of alternative rock/emo/scream music. Jute$ brought back all the feels with Cocaine Cinderella as it reminded me of an eclectic blend of Blackbear, Mod Sun and some of my favorite alternative bands from way way wayyyyy back.

Franke Leone goes punk with his newest release “Supertramp USA”. It’s a single off of the Death-Grips inspired project he released this past year, but it is finally seeing the light of day. He moves seamlessly between singing and rapping telling a deeply personal story.
Be on the lookout for Frank’s name attached to some exciting projects as a producer this year as he continues to build out his artist persona.

This is my first post of NoMBe, but oh my oh my, this guy is not messing around when it comes to writing amazing records. Everything from the songwriting, the melodic production, and the unreal drums, NoMBe is a force! I think this is one act to follow, and I simply don’t have the words to describe how much heat i’m hearing! I expect really big things from this star in the making!

Alternative | Son Little bends genres on “Go Blue Blood Red”
Posted by admin on October 8, 2015
Increasingly my day is eaten up listening to orchestral production, booming vocals, and high-BPM songs. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, simply an observation of music in the present day. When an artist pops on to my radar with a total departure from the “trending” and “happening” sound, I’m instantly enticed.
Son Little takes a stab at blending alternative, R&B, and soul music in to one on “Go Blue Blood Red”. The result is an exciting sonic mix with Little’s soothing vocals tying it all together.
Take a listen below and be sure to listen to the entire album here.
