As we edge towards the middle of Summer, we can easily look back and reminisce on The Wild memories we have made so far. Along with the wild memories, we all need some Indie tracks to listen to on the road, to take in the warm weather, hometown memories, and look forward to what is ahead in the fall. Go ahead and make a memory by jumping in the car, throw on Little Wanders latest track, “The Wild”, and take a joy ride. This is one you do not want to miss.

Pop | Nick Klein – Paralyzed

This Electro-Pop styled gem takes a more mellow approach to pop which is a nice change of pace. Nick Klein is a Netherlands duo consisting of vocalist Nick Klein and producer Ferdous Dehzad. “Paralyzed” is the stylish debut track from their unnamed upcoming EP set to release later this year. Nick Klein’s vocal approach is one of wonder, making it easy to get lost in Ferdous’ drumming. One can’t help but close their eyes and bump to this. Their EP has no release date set, but if this track is a good reflection of what is to come. I can only hope they let us know soon.
Girl Fire, Pop | Lyric Lincoln — Bodies
Posted by jeffwbaird on November 9, 2014
It is really hard to make smart pop music. The charts will always be predominantly filled by recent successors within familiar tropes: body braggadocio (“All About That Bass”, “Anaconda”); hater-denouncement (“Shake It Off”); dehumanization of women (“Animals”); relationship turbulence (“Stay With Me”) — I could go on; but when I hear a song that is smart, that contains a semblance of wisdom — I know that it’s something special.
“Bodies”, the first single from Lyric’s upcoming project, Garden of Even, was produced by Jonathan Buscema and is every bit as memorable and upbeat as those aforementioned. It feels and sounds like a traditional pop song, and yet it reads like the work of an established, eloquent songwriting talent, leaving the listener (as I believe all great art does) mentally engaged and aware throughout the existential track.
This is only our first taste of Lyric Lincoln — a budding NYC singer, songwriter, and model — but with a first release like this, she’s definitely got my attention.
Albums | Sizzy Rocket – Morrissey

In are day and age where it seems like pop stars are as easily interchangeable as bed sheets, it’s a rare occurrence to find an artist with poise, talent, and originality all wrapped in to one. Sizzy Rocket is a straight shooter, her writing ability evidencing that.
TV out the window, late night like a talk show, rich cunt at The Standard.
However, despite the brash and borderline-crude lyrics, Sizzy manages to seamlessly transition from her dark rapping abilities to a bubbly-sounding rendition of The Smith’s on the chorus. Don’t let the sound fool you, as the case with “Morrissey”, as well as previous release, “GIRLS“, the lines are oozing with playful sarcasm that begs for a second listen.
Enjoy the genre-bending song, and get introduced to pop music’s next rule breaker.
Albums | Icona Pop – Just Another Night (Solidisco Remix)

Is it me or does Icona Pop sound like Abba? Well if it that’s not the case, then Solidisco took it back to the “Dancing Queen” days minus the 2 dudes, and brought it forward to 2014. blending disco-house and electro-house for our dancefloor needs. I’m really digging the production on this one, and for some reason I hear some cool mashups with the intro alone, this is def one you’re going to want to dance to. Icona Pop and Solidisco might want to consider working together, I think they’d make a great collab. Make sure you give this one a listen and support by purchasing it on iTunes!
Pop | EXGF – Idle Hands
Posted by VMan on June 9, 2014
What’s good world, have ya’ll heard EXGF’s “Idle Hands” ? I’ve had it on repeat ever since I found it, and it sounds like a cooler, badder, edgier Icona Pop meets Justice, so if you’re trying to feel those vibes, “motherfucker” just press play. I wish I could tell ya’ll more about the band but with 1 track on their SoundCloud there’s no much more to say, other then just press play, and include this one into your Summer playlist. This is a must listen and support by copping it on iTunes!
