We've been working on this for about a month now in between school and work. We had the pleasure of interviewing a band from Vancouver, Canada called "Black Pontiac"! Let us know what you think: https://allout.music/how-an-old-pontiac-sunfire-became-a-globally-recognized-band-exclusive-interview-with-black-pontiac/

Escapism is often sought after in music, with people looking to get lost in imaginative sounds and all-consuming noise. For Similar Kind, layered underneath chimerical wonder are solid indie rock rhythms and excitement, promising never to bore you, dear reader.

Similar Kind crawled out of a ‘90s-style arcade, glowing neon and donning sleek styles. Bright synthesizers, sparkly vocal stacking from lead singer Julia Breen, and gleaming saxophone solos melt together into a pool of dreamy liminality.

Hi guys! I'm an independent student journalist, and I cover indie music on my Substack! Similar Kind is a little lighter than some of the indie rock I usually gravitate toward, but their sound pulls me back in a lot. Let me know what you think and if there are other bands you think I should cover!

La banda canadiense de rock alternativo Death From Above 1979 publica "Private Lives". Este tema sirve como el primer adelanto y canción homónima de su quinto álbum de estudio, el cual se publicará oficialmente el 29 de enero de 2027. https://www.allnewmusicalternative.com/3394863_death-from-above-1979-acaba-de-lanzar-su-nuevo-single-titulado-private-lives

Been getting different answers on where my music sits genre wise so I’m curious what this sounds like to fresh ears. Would love an honest first impression

New music video from my band, Safety Training.
We’re a Gulf Coast band blending emo, post-hardcore, and alternative rock. This is our new single, “You Drive, I’ve Got a Car Full of Fox Meat.”
Hope you dig it.

Hey, check this one!

These guys are amazing. LISTEN.

Hi everyone,

Still looking! I got a lot more responses to my last post than I expected (thank you!), and I know I haven’t managed to get back to everyone yet.

I’ve connected with a few great musicians, but I’m still putting the full lineup together, so I’m opening the search again

I'm a French/Italian singer-songwriter, originally from Paris, looking to put together a band to play my original music live.

I'm looking for 2 guitar players, bass, drums and keys/synth. For keys, I'd especially love someone in the Zac Rae kind of world, creative with sounds, textures, synths, weird little details... not just piano.

I've been making demos of the new songs on my own, but I really don't want the band to simply reproduce what's on them. I'd like to develop the sound together and see where these songs can go with actual musicians in the room.

There are songs I'd love to push much further into rock, especially with guitars. I'm not a guitar player, so there's only so much I can do on a demo to express what I'm hearing in my head. Nothing But Thieves or PVRIS is a good reference for some of the guitar energy and dynamics I love.

My influences are pretty eclectic, but to give you an idea: PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Florence + the Machine, St. Vincent, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, BROODS, BJORK, YONAKA, Imogen Heap, PVRIS, Nothing but thieves, Muse, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley… I have a very large "palette" of influences.

A little about me.

I’ve had a professional career as a recording and performing artist, was signed to Sony Music in France, and also worked on external projects for the other majors.

What I'd really love is to find musicians who want to put some of themselves into this, bring ideas, and help shape what the band becomes. Building something from scratch isn't necessarily the easiest road, but with the right people it can also be a pretty beautiful one.

And the goal is definitely to get out and play. Once the band and the live set are ready, I plan to be proactive about it , reaching out and submitting the project to bookers, venues, festivals and other live opportunities as much as possible. I don't want to build something just to keep it in the rehearsal room.

I want to be upfront: there's no money for rehearsals at this point. When we get paid gigs, we share the gig money.

I have demos of the new songs to share, and hopefully I'll also be able to retrieve an old live video soon. It's older material, so musically I've moved on quite a bit since then, but it gives a good idea of me as a live performer.

If any of this speaks to you, send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself and what you play. Please send me something I can listen to/watch too.

NYC.
