It's time to get dancing with some alternative EDM! The album COLOR BLOND by pluko is full of dance music and its something we could all use during a pandemic with not much going on in the world right now. Of course, you'll have to dance by yourself at home. Choose any song from the album and you'll be bobbing your head or pumping your fist. For the sake of this blog, we will focus on the song "blessings" featuring Nate Traveller. Although, this one might be one of pluko's tame songs but it's still pretty hype. "In this place all by myself. Doesn't matter who's around. Feels like I'm in over my head. Gotta stop staring at the ground." The easiest way to complete something is to start it! You can't just look at the ground and expect to see progress. However, sometimes it is easier to finish what you started when you have your partner to help. "And I wonder if I make it out. Another blessing comes falling down. I know you wanna

After some conversations on Twitter with some of the artists I mention below, I found out whoever KAYMC is may have been using the names of other artists to gain a competitive edge to gain listens on Spotify. This is extremely unfortunate — and frankly — a bit sad. I thought about deleting this post. Then I gave it some more thought. I think the sentiment is still there. I believe I shared a valid opinion. Our communities should be more thoughtful and give to each other more often. I really wish I could still say the same about this song. All this being said, I started listening to many of the artists I mentioned in this post and they all have some incredible songs. They are all worth listening to! -The blogger, Tyler. A new artist popped out of nowhere on some people's Spotify Release Radar. The artist is called KAYMC and they released a single called "all gold." It took over the weekly playlist of many Spotify users because they probably listen to one of many artists sp

In "Bobby," Bohdi is sad but he sounds mad. In this incredible angry song in what sounds like literally just one verse, Bohdi talks about how his friend Bobby left him but Bohdi isn't ready for goodbyes. He needs needs a proper goodbye. "Bobby left me and he left me a note. I found a letter on the front porch and he's not coming home. I came to Tallahassee for this son of a b****. Now I'm ripping up the letter and I'm tracing his phone. Bohdi is yelling at you through this entire Irish-punk-like song filled with strings and violin. Bohdi is heated. "I jump in my Suburban; five o'clock on the dash. I'm driving east into the sunrise and I'm missing his a**. Tears pouring down my face. I'm going ninety on twenty-seven. I barely turned twenty-seven. I remember we were dancing." The lyrics really are sad but true Irish-Americans talk about their feelings by yelling and this is exactly what Bohdi sounds like. It's only fitting to d

"Battlestations" by Wolfgang Gartner and Kill The Noise starts out like a classic orchestra but in just a few seconds you find out its more like an electronic symphony. The symphony tells a story based in the future where a crew of (potential) starfighters are preparing to battle. "Hard to feel explosives. Power up is locked and loaded. Take your battlestations. Prepare for detonation. Ok, so what beer should we pair with this song? "Prepare for detonation. Detonation. Detonation." If you were on this crew, your captain is telling you to prepare for battle. You must prepare for anything that could come your way. That thing could be an explotion of flavor, potentially a big punch of Grapefruit; a punch right in the face. Rally Cap, a grapefruit shandy by Center of the Universe Brewing Company, is just what you need. After all, what better place is there to take on the universe than starting in the center of it? You gotta take this attack of flavor head on and hi
