Listen To: Carousel

Enjoy the band Carousel’s song “Where Have You Gone?,” embedded below.

Listen To: Kendrick Lamar

logo

Kendrick Lamar was recently signed to Interscope/Aftermath in a JV with Top Dawg Entertainment.

Check out the song “The Recipe“, featuring Dr. Dre below.

Listen To: Bison

logo

Bison is one of those rising bands that have major label offers on the table but are still 100% unsigned/unpublished as of right now. A deal will inevitably close soon for them though.

I hate to use it as an adjective, but I love when a band can get away with an elegant “folky” sound. Why do I love pop/folk music so much?

Mumford and Sons anyone?

Check out Bison’s “Switzerland” performed live below.

Listen To: Imagine Dragons

logo

Prior to Interscope picking them up last year, I had only heard the name Imagine Dragons. It wasn’t until recently that I really got into their music.

Take a listen to the single “It’s Time,” which just cracked the Top 20 on the Alternative Radio charts.

Listen To: White Arrows

logo

Unique sound.

Very catchy.

Great voice.

Check out the song/video for “Get Gone” below.

Listen To: Electric Guest

logo

I love their original sound and style. I love his voice.

Throwback.

Check out the hypnotic song/video for “This Head I Hold.”

Listen To: Chester See

logo

His hilarious song “Bromance” is currently blowing up online. You can watch it below.

Also make sure you watch the video for the more serious song of his – “God Damn You’re Beautiful.” It’s a huge ballad with no co-writers.

Listen To: T. Mills

logo

T. Mills is an unsigned artist that has landed a deal with Columbia Records. The publishing deal was signed by Mike Caren‘s APG.

Check out the video for the single “Vans On” below, which has already garnered over 1 million views and is starting to get adds at Rhythmic Radio.

Kudos to Mills’ manager John Zagata, who is also responsible for developing and serving as the early manager of Foster The People’s frontman Mark Foster. It seems like he has a knack for finding talent early.

Listen To: Blackbear

logo

Blackbear released his first EP, titled Foreplay, on Friday (4/20).

Blackbear is known for writing songs for other artists. His most recent was “Boyfriend” for Justin Bieber.

Below, find a teaser video for Foreplay.

Listen To: Not Tonight Josephine

logo

Not Tonight Josephine has garnered the title “Tampa FL’s Most Buzzworthy Rock Band” since the release of their debut EP, This Orphan Heart. The band has shared the stage with Anberlin, Sick Puppies, Framing Hanley, etc. The band’s YouTube video of “All That She Wants” cover reached over 200,000 views which came off the first full length album, All On The Horizon produced by Brett Hestla (Creed Dark New Day, Framing Hanley).
