The Test Drive: Sophie Pecora – To Save The World

The Test Drive: Monte – This Is Monte
Monte has today released their new EP titled 'This Is Monte'. Think old school rock meets modern day f*ck you sprinkled with originality. You would never know that this was a three piece until you look at a picture. This EP doesn't let up at all. Not for a second. This takes me back to when punk was cool with the likes of NOFX, TSOL, and more. Harden the edges like sharpening a knife and you have Monte. Add a little melody and you really have Monte. This is music is. And, hopefully, coming back to.

First Listen: Murdocco – Breaking Away
Murdocco is set to release her new single titled 'Breaking Away'. Consider this track a sign that Murdocco is at a crossroad in her musical journey. Starting off with a simple guitar and a feeling of dread and longing. I found it brilliant at how this song actually starts. Almost as if it doesn't want to. Like it does not want to convey what it is about to say. The music emotionally follows the message. I found that totally amazing. It's against the norm.

Staring her personal demons and skeletons in the face, Queen Kwong (aka Carré Kwong Callaway) offers an unapologetically introversion into herself with a bare skin account of the things we always think about but never speak of with a varied blend of liberated angst, post-punk professionalism and somber social soliloquys.

First Listen: Rooted – Waiting + Q&A
Rooted has released their new sing titled 'Waiting'. One thing you may not realize, or quickly forget, is that these are middle school students. Remember that while listening to 'Waiting'.
