French band Fellini Felin construct from on new one “Come To The Fore” what is a very unique palette of sounds. Without losing track of any listen-ability or melodic quality, FF manage a sound that (at least in our estimation) no other band quite sounds like right now. The mix of reverb-y guitar and deep in the PA vocals with “Come to the Fore’s” claps-driven rhythm track is a very cool twist. Listen to “Come To The Fore” below.
UK band Slowlights announce “I Try So Hard” EP with first stream “Overgrown”.

Stream the B3SCI Premiere of “Overgrown” below.
