Singer-songwriter, Rob Cantor’s debut long-player, Not A Trampoline, came out in April (2014), and it is full of wonderful pop musical gems. Take All I Need Is You for instance. Rob’s voice is an pleasing tenor which blends together with itself, strings, (or synthesizers I can’t find any extensive album info), light rhythms, and guitars to great effect. Rob got a following from a stunt video created for his song Perfect, also on Not A Trampoline. That video created quite…
Read MoreYou may remember Lux Lisbon from about a year ago when A Little More Vodka featured Get Some Scars. Scars was an awesome track from their 2013 EP, and it doesn’t seem possible, but this band just keeps getting better!

The single is yet to be released in any form that I can find, but if…
Read MoreDublin, Ireland two-piece pop rockers, Darling, know how to create an infectious melody, a raucous beat and great vocal harmonies with youthful energy. Here, from what is billed as a debut self-titled EP (October 2013), but is more akin to an extended single, Darling gives glimpses of what is to come. Sounding at times like a band much larger and even “echoing” (pun intended) their kinsman U2 at times, Echoes which appears twice on the EP, once in this form and again as a…
Read MoreMarcellus Hall is a sometime illustrator, cartoonist, writer and yes, musician. Here, he and his band, The Hostages, turn out rock and roll with just a hint of retro. It’s fun stuff, as seen / heard in Soul Mate (above). There’s a bit of rockabilly, a little folk-rock, some pure pop-it’s all in there, and all on his latest crowd-funded long-player, Afterglow (December 2013). Vocally, Marcellus has a similar tonal quality and delivery to that of Dan Zanes. The band is…
