I almost passed on this track from Amsterdam based 5-piece, Moke, simply based on the intro, but it didn’t take long to flesh itself out and become interesting. Here on Burning The Ground from the band’s September 2012 long-player, Collider, Moke uses bits of electronic noodling along with full force guitars and pristine vocals to craft a first-rate rock offering. You can find more information on Moke, by visiting their web site, (in German, I think) which includes store and social links. Check out…

This is polished rock music with some wonderful melodic hooks. Check out Band of Frequencies by visiting their MySpace or Facebook pages. You can purchase…
Read MoreRemember glam rock? Berlin band mates from Museum seem determined to bring it back and add a bit of a harder edge to it. Combining touches of electronic noodling, full-throttle guitars and fine vocal chops, For The Very First Time has a great feel to it.
