Pop/Review The Biebers - Sorry
Formed in 2012, The Biebers' six-person team is the coolest band in the country.

Even when Sorry became the Hungarian modern pop-rock recording of the year at the Phonogram Awards, the list was not public. Later, it turned out that Peti Puskás and his brother Dani Puskás were also among the founders, and the names of some other members were leaked in the press and during the concerts.

The Pulltops are a Milwaukee based duo delivering a hooky mix of Indie Rock, Power Pop, and Album Rock.

Rock/Review The Exact Opposite - You Work For Us Now
Band chemistry is a strange, undefinable, and intangible thing, but when it’s there, it’s undeniable. And it’s undeniable that new duo The Exact Opposite have it in spades. That much is clear from the first listen of their debut album, Skill Issue, a record that fizzes and fizzles with a very tangible chemistry that should and needs to be listened to from beginning to end. That it’s just singer/guitarist Jamie Stuart and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Nigel Powell makes the depth, richness, and full-bodied texture of these songs all the more impressive.
