HALF CAB has its roots in punk and hardcore music. With their new songs the band is ready to engage a wider audience without losing their underground ethos. The result is music that is said to have "the energy of punk and the catchiness of pop". 

HALF CAB coming from The Hague, Netherlands is set to release their new EP in May 2024. Pete Maher, UK’s No1 independent mastering engineer gives the songs the power they deserve. Upfront, three songs from the EP will be released as singles. 

First single Rearview is about looking back on things in life. “It all looks simple in the rearview” is the recurring phrase in the song, and somewhat of a summary idea of the EP. Don't worry too much about the past, but focus on the future, no matter how dark and hopeless it may seem.

Artist, composer, and producer Faint Louis is set to release the much-anticipated album, Details.

This album is a unique blend of eclectic pop music, drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as The Beatles and Bee Gees. It creatively infuses traditional pop structures with elements from various genres including hip-hop, synthwave, jazz, and RnB, interspersed with experimental sound elements.

Faint Louis cites Flume, Pink Floyd, and Tyler, The Creator as significant musical influences. The common thread among these artists is their ability to innovate within their respective genres while maintaining a palatable sound, a trait Faint Louis strives to emulate.

In addition to his musical prowess, Faint Louis takes an active role in the visual aspects of his work. He personally oversees the creation of artwork, promotional teasers, and music videos, believing this to be an integral part of expressing his artistic vision.

The visual aesthetic of his work, particularly album covers, draws heavily from the surrealism, hyperrealism, minimalism, and abstraction styles of Salvador Dalí, one of Faint Louis' favorite artists. This is reflective of the fusion of organic and materialistic elements in his music. Also, cinematic influences significantly shape the visual theme. Notably, the press photographs draw inspiration from the introduction sequence of David Lynch's film, Mulholland Drive.

In conclusion, the upcoming live performances of the album Details are expected to incorporate these visual elements, adding another layer to the audience's experience.

Faint Louis - I Wish I Knew Ft. Eve Jones

Second single that will be on the band's EP (release June 28).

"State of Mind" is a song about walking alone in the streets, feeling empty after a night out. Intoxicated, avoiding true feelings, waking through the alleys, and confronting your loneliness. With haunting melodies and lyrics, the song captures the overwhelming emotions of solitude, self-reflection, and destruction.

Death Sells is a Dutch band that bridges the gap between indie, grunge, noise and punk. Quite clever how the band manages to mix the music of Blood Red Shoes, Wet Leg and Amyl And The Sniffers into a new genre.

This newborn band is still playing in a pool of tinnitus-inducing dissonance, bone-breaking riffs and songs more relatable than your average tiktok feed. That doesn't mean they don't come off as fierce as they actually are.

Come and witness Death Sells explore the primal soup of their creations and prepare to get sucked in by the sounds that come from the creatures hiding in their minds.

Ezra Veda – Shadows Of Trust: A Stunning Debut from an Artist Who Plays by Her Own Rules

Amsterdam-based artist Ezra Veda refuses to follow the rules of the music industry, and that’s exactly what makes her shine. Starting as a vocalist, she soon took full control of her creative process, producing her own music and defining her own narrative. Ezra is not one for the spotlight, but her talent is impossible to ignore. Her sound moves effortlessly between electro-pop, trip-hop, drum & bass; sometimes dark, sometimes light, always authentic. One moment you’re floating, the next you’re singing along.

Ezra doesn’t play the game, she questions it. At one point, she even stepped away from music altogether. Thankfully, she was convinced to return, leading to her stunning debut album Shadows Of Trust. The title says it all. Ezra’s world is one of cautious observation, dark wit, and quiet rebellion, the perfect breeding ground for bold creativity.

The album collects ten previously released singles alongside two brand-new tracks, all written and produced within a single year. It opens with “Fading Embers,” a song that mirrors her careful, introspective approach before bursting wide open. On “Old Umbrella,” she launches into drum & bass with ease, while “Insta-worthy Dreams,” a collaboration with fellow Amsterdam producer Pillek, showcases her flair for smooth, downtempo electro-pop.

Lyrically, Ezra doesn’t hold back. Whether writing about family, friends, lovers, habits, or the struggle to belong in a chaotic world, she tells her truth with fearless honesty.

Shadows Of Trust is dark, beautiful, captivating, and unapologetically Ezra. Press play and let yourself be pulled into her world.

A shameless tribute to everything they’ve ever loved — from 90s alt-rock to 00s indie anthems and back again. They’re not copying, they’re honouring. Not stealing, but levelling up.

Welcome to Eckhardt And The House 2018: New Year, New Sound.

Over the last years, Eckhardt And The House treated the listener to eight singles and an album release full of laid-back, easy listening, trendy nerdy and surprisingly accessible hipster sounds. Now it's time for something new. A new logo, a different style of artwork and most of all, a change of sound. But all that with keeping the existing Eckhardt And The House fan in mind.

Eckhardt And The House has developed towards a more uptempo and danceable indie sound but certainly didn’t lose any charm. The band has been taking elements from pop to avant-garde to funk and twisted it all up into a signature sound with wild experimentation and disregard for the norm. First single If You Cannot Talk is a fine example, a tale of a young girl on a long distance bus ride set to music which reminds us of Talking Heads glory days on the one hand and nowadays Modest Mouse on the other.

All previous Eckhardt And The House singles did very well on Dutch radio and were played for months on national, regional and local stations. They also got airplay on national radiostations in Belgium, Switzerland, Italy plus regional and local stations in Germany and France. Press coverage rolled in from Denmark to Japan and from the United States to Australia. Several singles reached iTunes- and Spotify Viral Charts in The Netherlands, Italy, France and Turkey, on Spotify the total number of Eckhardt And The House plays is well over 1.2 million.  

Eckhardt And The House is the project by producer, singer, multi-instrumentalist, dramatist and actor Rik Elstgeest. Rik is known from his previous bands Kopna Kopna and Alamo Race Track, as well as being composer and producer for Zazi. Together with Gerry Arling (of Arling & Cameron fame) and Bo Koek he is the core of Dutch electropop surprise Mass Electric.

Release date: 23 February 2018

If She Cannot Talk - lyrics

she was only fifteen
and she never said much

fifty bucks to cross
this land by bus

she's staring at her ticket
staring at her shoes

she's going the distance 
she's going on a cruise 

Refr:
if she cannot talk 
there's still a song
if she cannot talk
Little things go wrong

chewing on bubblegum 
waiting for the bus to leave

when the road is stroked by wheels
she already fell asleep

a guy with a pierced nose 
nicked her telephone 

she's going long distance
but she can not call

Refr:
if she cannot talk
there's still a song
if she cannot talk
Little things go wrong

on iTunes & Spotify
