Clone, the most punk post-punk rock band of Brooklyn, has an in your face approach to their music as you will be able to hear in their latest single, ‘Redeemer.” The single has been chosen as the Track of the Day on this blog.

According to the Smashing Pumpkins, the world is a vampire. The world seems to suck the life out of people. Yet, people love vampire books.

Maïa Davies, the Montreal-based singer-songwriter, has just unveiled an exquisite new album titled “Lovers’ Gothic.” This enchanting body of work artfully entwines elements of pop and classical music, infusing it with evocative melodies and captivating vocals. “Songs and writing are the best way my body knows how to express pain to date,” Davies explains. “I was in a very dark place for a long time, but the songs helped me save and heal myself in so many quantifiable ways.
