Flagship Romance made their debut appearance on Vodka two years ago with the tremendous Treason from the duo’s awesome first EP effort, The Fudge Sessions. We revisited the band again about a year later with another track from that same EP, Hit The Ground. Then the two began work on numerous philanthropic projects, followed by a crowd funding campaign that raised over $25,000 to help them make their first long-player, Fee Fie Foh Fum, which was released in June of 2014. Dandelion hails from…
Read MoreBeaulieu Porch (Simon Berry) has a reclusive personal profile. His music is “released” largely in snippets, one track here and another there, over the course of years, so it is nice to finally have a collection of those tunes all in one spot for a change. Enter We Are Beautiful (April 2015). It includes the previously reviewed (a little over a year ago) The Colour 55 and 17 (!) other psychedelic pop tunes for a pittance (Name your price) on the Bandcamp site. These tunes…
Read MoreFile VMichaels (it’s a band, not a person) as pop-rock with a touch of soul and r&b that is instantaneously positive, danceable and fun.

You can find more information on the band by visiting their nicely formatted web site, which includes all of the required social links. If you live in the Los Angeles area, you can probably catch the…
Read MoreInto The Cold is from Timberwolf’s debut EP, Man & Moon, from 2013. Just out is the band’s second EP, Flux (May 2015). Timberwolf has a full, wonderful sound and their tunes tend to be up-beat and, well, awesome! Timberwolf is not a band, at least not in the strictest sense. Timberwolf is the brain-child of Australian folkster/singer/songwriter Christopher Panousakis who simply oozes talent. Want more info? Check out Timberwolf’s web site-particularly the ‘About’ section. You will be hearing more from this marvelous 23 year old…
Read MoreNote: The original video no longer exists. There is no studio-quality version still available. Great Peacock is just preparing to release (at the time of this writing) their first long-player, Making Ghosts, due out mid-May 2015. Family Home is from the band’s self-titled EP from a couple of years ago. Great Peacock’s music is instantaneously infectious, specializing in melodies that stick in your head and make you want to sing along. Based solely on the title track of Making Ghosts (available in the Bandcamp link below) and the band’s previous EP, the new long-player promises to be a delightful offering of…
