This week's compilation of underground music from around the globe is entitled King For A Day. The title comes from a track by The Screens which is featured here, vintage-inspired psychedelic rock. We also welcome back the sonic fuzz overload of The Buzzdealers and the driving folk rock twang of Jim Powell. As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.
We welcome a number of new faces this week, kicking off with the catchy prog-based psychedelia of Sid Bradley. The classic-sounding southern rock of Japan Van Damme and the happy-go-lucky folk rock of Nate Jacobucci follow. There is then doo-wop swinging indie from Tragicomics, travelling troubadour folk from Dan Orcutt And The Big Blue Cosmic and Belgian Tulsa sound revival from Luc Dejardin. Insect Guide bring us emotive lockdown soundscapes and Matt Finucane gives us art rock progressiveness.
We delve further with the experimentally-inclined folk rock of Halcyon Phase, the darkwave post-punk of Ashes Fallen and the hard and heavy cold wave of Broken Links. There is doomy crunching alt rock from Daughters Of Saint Crispin, alternative heavy rock from Alae Noctis and modern raucous pop punk from Blame Shifters. Chimers give us noir post-punk revival, Hidden House give us a moody throbbing variant and My Stillborn Dream bring a jangly pop disposition.
Joe Burns delivers emotively-charged singer / songwriter, Oklahomeless contributes lo-fi fuzzy folk rock and Robert Daniel Irwin gets lively with a blues funk shuffle. To conclude, there is gentle and tender indie folk from Christy Merry and an ambient drone soundscape from Violet Nox. Special thank you to all the artists involved and the music lovers that keep coming back to AB Records each and every week. Have a great weekend and see you soon!
