emergent artists in indie, pop rock and alternative rock, electronic pop 

I love this songs as they demonstrate everyday that astonishing music exists out of the major channels. 

I am also impressed by the level and quality of music from these emerging bands and artists ... hope soundcloud will keep this spirit when becomming non free in the near future

Lyrics

In the winter where we smoked all day 
with skin to ice in the middle of the lake 
it was our spot but now it is my place 
and I love the view 

The winters gone the Ice ran away 
I got a call from the fall the other day 
the Black Hills keep calling my name 
but I wish they were you 

Oh you left your shoes in the tall grass 
Slow cause good things don't come fast 
No you'll be mad that you left me 
cause you say I'm no one until I'm somebody 

In the city now I've got no name 
the music's better but it all still sounds the same 
in torn up leather bet the city is to blame 
but I'm still blaming you 

You've got no where to go 
and even when the suns out your bodies cold 
your bodies cold 

Oh you left your shoes in the tall grass 
Slow cause good things don't come fast 
No you'll be mad that you left me 
cause you say I'm no one until I'm somebody

Lyrics:
Think of anything,
Think of anything

I’ve got the somethin’ that keeps you unsure,
One that’ll push the gas straight to the floor
No tight ass fraud that’ll always nod along
Right along
What would happen if you walked through the door,
One that is open to your only cure
Don’t stop it now, no foldin’ down around
Cause here’s what’s in store

Oh, Oh
Your mind is floating to nowhere
Oh, Oh
And you can think of anything
Think of anything (x6)

Look at all the things that we can explore
One step further to keep findin’ more
Let’s search us now and break you down till I’m yours
I am yours
Tides are pushin’ us away from the shore
Out to the ocean without any oars
Don’t need them now, we’re drifting out away
Far Away

Oh, Oh
Your mind is floating to nowhere
Oh, Oh
And you can think of anything
Think of anything (x6)

Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh

Sky’s the only limit that is set in stone
Float a million miles till we’re all alone
High’s the only feeling that will let me know
Cause you can think of anything
Think of anything (x6)

Soda Fountain Rag - Pretty Girls Make Mojitos

Pre-order the single here: https://mercurygirls.bandcamp.com/album/ariana

Philadelphia, PA’s Mercury Girls features Sarah Schimineck, Kevin Attics, Andrew Hagiwara, Chris Schackerman, and Kevin O'Halloran. Schimineck, formerly of NYC Popfest alums Pet Milk is flanked by the shimmery and adventurous guitar interplay of Attics (Literature, former Pitchfork Media) and O'Halloran (of indie heroes Little Big League, Run For Cover Records). Hagiwara and Schackerman provide a sturdy rhythmic base, creating a sound that's equally lush and driving, using Sarah Records-inspired pop as a basis for  savvy de-/reconstruction and sonic experimentation. Despite having only started in March of 2015, the group has achieved a lot. They've collected many endorsements, including those from Chickfactor Magazine, Pains of Being Pure at Heart's Kip Berman and NPR,  they've shared the stage with bands such as Expert Alterations, Joanna Gruesome, Beverly, TEEN, Eternal Summers, and their 2016 SxSW visit was a head-turning, mind-melting blast.

Now they cap of their first year with the release of their debut single, "Ariana."  While their sound uses classic indiepop as a jumping-off point, there are bits of shoegaze, post-punk and DIY punk in the mix that recall like-minded bands like Veronica Falls, Makthaverskan, Fear of Men and Frankie Rose. "Ariana" is gorgeous tangle of chorused, jangling guitars and Sarah's dreamlike vocals. A marvelous two and a half minutes of perfect, forward-thinking pop. On the flip, "All That Heaven Allows" leans more on the band's post-punk inspirations, marked by a careening rhythm and a huge chorus that will stick in your head for days. 

"Ariana" is out May 20th, just in time for the band's engagement at NYC Popfest alongside legends The Primitives and The Chesterfields. The spring is looking to be fully scheduled with shows up and down the east coast, keeping the band busy while they write and record their highly-anticipated debut album.

Mercury Girls - Ariana

i'm fine
kinda feeling numb about it
he’s fine
nothing like the war we started
it's nice
but i’m always broken hearted
inside

i don’t know what else to do 
but when he kisses me i’m missing you
every place i go reminds me of you
i don’t want to remind me of you 

you told me love was blind
for you, i closed my eyes
yeah you’re my first fall
hardest break of them all

and it don’t sound the same
the way he says my name
yeah you’re my first fall
twentythousand feet tall

red wine
and i’m drunk inside our late nights
your eyes
always kinda felt like goodbye and goodnight
maybe i should let your heart fly 
tonight 

i don’t know what else to do 
but when he kisses me I’m missing you
every place i go reminds me of you
i don’t want to remind me of you 

you told me love was blind
for you, i closed my eyes
yeah you’re my first fall
hardest break of them all

and it don’t sound the same
the way he says my name
yeah you’re my first fall
twentythousand feet tall

And i know it’s not healthy
but i don’t wanna fall in love again
And i know it’ll kill me
but you’re the only way i wanna end
you’re the only way I wanna end
for you, i’d fall all over again

you told me love was blind
for you, i closed my eyes
yeah you’re my first fall
hardest break of them all

and it don’t sound the same
the way he says my name
yeah you’re my first fall
twentythousand feet tall

waiting yeah, i’ll keep on waiting, yeah, i’ll keep on waiting, yeah
for you, i’d wait a lifetime
waiting yeah, i’ll keep on waiting, yeah, i’ll keep on waiting, yeah
for you, i’d wait a lifetime

No I don't know if you're hearing me right
We better get it perfect or we're starting to fight
And if you're really so affected by the words I say
Then we can end it all today

And there's a little miscommunication here oh
And there's a little anchor on the words you hear oh

Break down the door
No I don't give a fuck if you don't love me anymore
I'm tired of taking it slow
I'll take a chance if you can tell me what we;re fighting for

No I don't wanna know it if you're treating me wrong
and is it really worth if it's taking this long?
San Diego's just a couple hours away
And the distance makes a difference if you want me to stay

And there's a little miscommunication here oh
And there's a little anchor on the words you hear oh

Break down the door
No I don't give a fuck if you don't love me anymore
I'm tired of taking it slow
I'll take a chance if you can tell me what we;re fighting for

And there's a little miscommunication here oh
And there's a little anchor on the words you hear oh

Miscommunication
