“Like a Wave” is new from Dim Mak artist Overjoy. Sleek in its construction and subtle in its melodic quality, “Like a Wave” is, despite its semi-corny lyrical content (“ride you like a wave??”) an A+ exercise dark electronic pop.

Bruce Rave chilled with Catfish and the Bottlemen’s Van McCann for a second time during South By Southwest this year. Lots had happened since their initial chat back in November before the band’s LA debut. Catfish just drew 10,000 in London, and their “Kathleen” notched a top 15 peak on the US alternative charts.

Singer-songwriter Janelle Kroll, who studied Theatre at Northwestern, seduces with her uniquely gifted vocal prowess on new incredibly fresh alt-rock track “Numb”. The young Chicagoan turned New Yorker has a straightforward vocal style, slow calculated instrumental pace and deconstructed intensely-emotive lyrics which translate into a cool meld that sounds like something between Alt-J and Alanis Morsette. Great song. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
