Folk singer- songwriter, Eli Lev proves his musical versatility in his newest track. In a completely different vibe, Eli Lev brings a haunting and dark sound to the scene with his song, “Treason”, the final single release off of his newest EP, Way Out West, which is set to drop on December 14th, 2018.

With a slow, almost dangerous sound, Eli sings along to lyrics like, “Take my future and take my name- I’ma keep my heart and take my soul down to the river… hold my head up to the sky.” Compared to his usually positive and optimistic songs, Lev shows off his ability to write, sing, and play a completely different musical dynamic with this specific track.

Listeners can expect to be pleasantly surprised with “Treason” lyrically, and sonically, as he includes his usual acoustic guitar, as well as a beautiful flute sound. This specific track gets listeners excited for what is to come from the rest of Eli Lev’s EP, Way Out West, because of his diversity through this incredible track.

Breakout St. Louis garage-pop duo Bruiser Queen release today “Sugar High,” their debut 7” single for Velvet Elk Records.

Fueled by guitarist/singer Morgan Nusbaum’s raucous Riot Grrrl vocals and Jason Potter’s explosive drumming, the track showcases the band’s signature fusion of snarling punk energy and infectious pop sensibilities and previews a deluxe reissue of their acclaimed 2017 album ‘Heavy High,’ which features five previously unreleased bonus tracks and b-sides.

Bruiser Queen will mark the release with their first headline tour through the Midwest and West Coast this fall. See below for full dates, and listen to “Sugar High” here: https://soundcloud.com/velvet-elk- records/01-sugar-high 

“We wrote this song about the struggle of being broke and trying to live your dream,” says Nusbaum, “about trying to keep your spirits high while working 3 jobs and playing late night gigs.”

Formed in 2010, Bruiser Queen has earned a slew of accolades and awards in the Midwest and beyond for their mix of 21st Century punk stomp and 60’s girl group shimmy. St. Louis NPR station KDHX raved that the band delivers “the kind of concentrated, uncut rock ‘n’ roll that is perennial in its appeal and absolutely powerful in its immediacy,” while St. Louis Magazine hailed their “primal, garage punk,” and Consequence of Sound praised them as “Karen O-meets-the-Pixies.”

Since the release of their potent 2012 debut album, ‘Swears,’ the duo has taken home both Best Rock Band and Best Garage Band honors in the Riverfront Times’ annual Readers’ Poll, landed festival slots from Savannah Stopover to Loufest, and shared bills with Wanda Jackson, Best Coast, Murder By Death, Those Darlins, and Polyphonic Spree among others. Stay tuned for more information on Bruiser Queen and additional tour dates.

Gestures & Sounds release their epic new EP today, “Lightning is the Name of a Dog.” The West-Coast based group that has been making big waves in the world of indie rock, bring a bold and addictive release to the table. Sucking us in with singles such as “Magnet Bar,” and “Bum Scotch Loser,” the pieces set the tone for the ambitious release.

Throughout the album we hear a band that is steadily on the rise. With swirling guitars, vocal bliss and indie rock goodness mixed in, the group bring a bold sound to the world that is truly their own. A little bit indie rock, a little bit folk tendencies, the result is an EP that not only grabs our attention, but holds it as well.

From start to finish we find ourselves head over heels for Gestures & Sounds, a band that you will be listening to for years to come…trust us on this one.
Gestures & Sounds “Lightning is the Name of a Dog,” is out digitally and physically today.

Kicking off the weekend in the best way possible, Eli Lev delights with a stunning new song titled “One Road.” Taken from his new record which is due out this month, this is another flowing song in his series of singles that he has been releasing this year. With high anticipation Eli Lev brings together a gorgeous combination of lyricism and music that will hold the test of time. Starting out slow, the track takes us away with harmonious playing and vocal perfection. As the song progresses his sound goes a bit heavier that brings the best of Folk-Rock to life. The song boasts intrepid touches like a detuned mandolin and electronic textures that recall Radiohead more than Bob Dylan. “It’s incredible to harness the power of the many sounds in the world like midi, upright bass, and looping software. The bringing together of electronic and organic sounds makes for endless expressive possibilities,” says Eli. The lyrical content of “One Road” addresses the folk tradition and how it’s evolved and has to continue to evolve to stay resonate.

Matt Oestreicher is back with an amazing new single “Soul Doctor” The track is both composed and produced by Matt. “Soul Doctor” really gives the listener a better look into Matt’s soul and artistry through his thoughtful and deep lyrics. Through his words, Matt shows his determination both musically and lyrically.

“Soul Doctor” is a wonderfully produced and thought provoking song. It also feels nostalgic, giving off heavy Don Henley and Eric Clapton vibes. The track ends with a satisfying, classic rock electric guitar solo with keys and powerful vocals to boot.

Overall the song is beautiful. The vocals, harmonies, eclectic beat, chilling electric guitar, powerful acoustic strums, and sweet piano chords all come together to create a song that is both eye opening and easy on the ears. We love this song and we are so excited to see what is to come from Matt Oestreicher!
