Dutch guitarist and producer Amplify Me and singer Rick Winsome return with nostalgic heartbreak anthem ‘Like I Always Do’, which is about picking yourself up when hitting rock bottom.
Layers of tumbling guitars interweave around a steady drum beat and emotive vocoder, for a Dire Straits-meets-Bon Iver sound that fuses rock and country elements with genres as diverse as RnB, hip hop and pop.

The new single from pMad, again self-released & is accompanied by another visual masterpiece of a video that follows the struggle of us all being ‘Broken’.
‘Broken’ – none of us are built without cracks or faults, we all hurt, we are all human.
Acknowledgment of this will save us?
Paul Dillon is a solo artist from Portumna, Co. Galway, Ireland and has played with bands such as ‘Starve the Barber’ & ‘The Suicidal Dufflecoats’ & is currently a member of ‘The Greeting’ & now pMad.
During the pandemic Paul collaborated with Protonaut Studio(Germany) & Elith Mastering Labs (Mexico) & without ever being in the same room together created ‘Broken’ and his album which is due for release later in 2022.
pMad’s third single release ‘Broken’ is a mix of pMad’s vision of the times we are in, with vocals & lyrics to redeem us all, along with a sonic intensity that is both equally dark and uplifting, while ultimately leaving you with a feeling of hope!
pMad is ‘Broken’ in some form or another, just like everybody else. Knowing and understanding that we are all ‘Broken’ & being comfortable with that is the way to save ourselves.
Check out the amazing video that accompanies ‘Broken’
Find pMad on all the social media platforms with @pmadtheband

Today, Monokino shares a brand new single entitled “Baby.” The track’s accompanying visual, created by Monokino himself, is made entirely of ASCII characters.

Monokino is the work of enigmatic Dutch pop composer and visual artist George van Wetering who currently resides between Nanjing, Shanghai and Amsterdam. His sound is an exhilarating, eccentric explosion of driving alternative-rock guitars, off-kilter electronica, and devilishly unadulterated POP!
Stylised new earworm Baby is another illustration of Monokino’s distinctive, quirky approach to song writing and his technicoloured imagination. The infectious, high-octane track is on a high-speed acceleration throughout with a rush of hyper-fast beats and infectious rapid fire guitar riffs laced with van Wetering’s distinctive transatlantic drawl.
The song’s energy and attitude wholly embodies the imagery in van Wetering’s head whilst he composed the track, as he explains…“I saw myself driving a racing car, singing ‘Baby’ in this Billy Idol kind of way,” with the lyrics loosely inspired by a personal experience of a one-sided relationship and the universally relatable regret at staying too long in a bad situation. As van Wetering expands:
“I was never enough for someone who claimed that I was her one and only. She often wanted to be alone, but when I was gone, it was not good either. Some days I was too feminine, other days just too masculine. People like Billy – in a speeding car – would have let go a long time ago already for sure.”
Baby’s accompanying visual is made entirely of ASCII characters and has a stylistic kind of retro-futurism perfectly befitting of Monokino’s sound.
Monokino has previously released two long-players, Fake Virtue and Human Error winning fans across Asia, Europe and North America, with Monokino releasing music via China’s largest independent label Modern Sky and Zip Records in the USA/the Netherlands. He has also collaborated with renowned American record producer and artist Tony Visconti and the artist Kristeen Young on their most popular track New Kid, alongside Dutch artist/producer Jacco Gardner.
Monokino has extensively toured the USA, Canada, China and the Netherlands and played huge international festivals from Strawberry Festival, Beijing and World Expo in Shanghai, to South by Southwest, Texas.
Baby follows the 2021 singles No Return, Bend or Break and Your Underground, all taken from Monokino’s forthcoming third album (expected later in 2022). All singles received attention from blogs worldwide, with plays from the late Janice Long on BBC Radio.
“A woozy fusion of alternative-rock and off-kilter electronics that certainly deserves your attention.” The Vinyl District
“Energetic, stylish alternative pop sitting somewhere between the new romantic sound of 80s and Gary Numan.” MXDWN
” Monokino has a knack for quirky, but engaging songwriting.” Fame Magazine
“Monokino takes no prisoners as electro is formidably melded with rock-style guitar.” Fortitude Magazine
“If Adam Curtis made music instead of documentaries Monokino would be the sound. Magnificent.” Yack Magazine

Break Out (Acoustic) is the newest release from emerging artist Lesse. Recorded live in Bullet Sound studios in The Netherlands, this acoustic setting has a rather intimate touch, while still driving on its uplifting origins. It consists of Lesse’s signature voice, backed by just guitar.
Break Out is a a song of perseverance and tells about self-doubt and pushing through, alternately. This acoustic version arose spontaneously during a studio Jam session. Break Out was originally written for The COC Songfestival, advocating Diversity & Inclusivity.
Lesse’s sound and voice might distantly remind you of artists like Sting and Tears for Fears.
With his tempting synth-pop and heart breaking ballads Lesse has various fanbase communities around the world. Break Out (Acoustic) is a refreshing addition to his growing discography.
Break Out (Acoustic) by Lesse, available for streaming.

Panda Points is het nieuwe, tweede album van Dizzy Panda, een met mysterie omgeven genre-fluïde duo uit Haarlem.
De 15 tracks van Panda Points zijn merendeels in de kleine uurtjes opgenomen. En dat hoor je. Met zijn sobere songs, omfloerste beats en atmosferische samples is het Panda Points album ook een reflectie van dit onzekere tijdsbestek. De Dizzy Panda’s hebben bij alle trippy hop songs van het album een clip gemaakt, die te zien zijn via hun YouTube-kanaal.
Het artwork is gemaakt door Ramon Pliushc, een grafisch artiest uit Oekraïne. De band kan de maker van hun artwork niet langer meer bereiken en hebben geen idee hoe het met hem is. Daardoor krijgt het album een extra donker randje.
Één van de eerste singles ‘Feeling Grey’ stond al online en is representatief voor album en act; serieus, maar speels, ongrijpbaar, maar overtuigend.

Port Henry is the first single for Scarlet Mill’s forthcoming second album. Like their debut album Chronicles, also the second album will tell a tale of love, passion and remorse.
In this indie-glamrock song, grooving on Hammond and Slide, the male protagonist finds himself in the shady harbour of Port Henry, after an eventful oddysey.
The music revives memories of the early seventies glamrock era, dressed up with contemporary alternative rock vibes. The lyrics are part of a timeless tale that is yet to be fully told. Next chapter is to appear this spring already.
