Springtime came earlier this year thanks to Chris Mayer & The Rockets.

We all got lost in the vast sea of good indie rock music, and it seems to me that the indie scene is getting better as the years are passing by. Each group has something fresh and unique to offer to the broader auditorium, but sometimes their polished sound is so overwhelming that they might…

The atmosphere is unique, intimate, and…

I was unaware of the existence of this band until I stumbled upon their website by accident. It was one of those pleasant surprises I didn’t expect at the moment, mainly because I expected something completely different judging by the visual identity of their website. I expected an alternative rock group but got more of…
