Mary Lambert is an artist that is gives her audience more than just music; she gives them messages, personal snapshots of her own life, and discussions on controversial issues. Already being featured Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Same Love, concerning itself with struggle of sexual-orientation and homosexuality, Lambert has already started making a name for herself in a way that diverts from making music to dance to, but music…
Cut Your Hair – Mad Love Now this is possibly the strangest but catchiest song I’ve heard for a while. Opening with the lyrics “Raveee…” does make me think “what is this”? But I’m soon over that when I hear the wonderfully soothing guitar strings combine with the melodic piano riffs and vocals that may remind you of something from the 90’s . At first I assumed this was a generic indie pop band from…

Who today listens to just domestic music? With Australia cranking out catchy indie rock tunes and the U.K. turning out its usual steady stream of musical exports, exotic music is on the rise. However, with such easy access to foreign and domestic music, it is sometimes difficult to sift through all of the bands and new tracks. This calls for a musical Sacagawea. Here are some new songs that will hopefully ease your way through…
This Oxford-based band take their name from the Scottish town of Stornoway on the Hebridean Isle of Lewis, and I’m not sure if that’s a sleepy little town or what but this music definitely reflects what a sleepy town would sound like. With soothing folk-like guitar melodies and calming vocals the self-recorded “Tales From Terra Firma” is a great second album from the guys. The album opens with the uplifting “You Take Me As I…
Five of the bands I am most looking forward to at Live At Leeds, the city music festival taking place over May Bank Holiday…for the price of what, 4 pints in London? 1975 Huw Stevens, Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton all love The City by 1975, and I am inclined to agree that as upbeat summer struts go, it’s not at all bad. Now let’s find some summer. Little Comets Thundering slaps, wailing and whirring, jangling guitars and pots…
Leeds is a city with a vibrant music scene: buzzing sounds, great bands, and a community ethos. ZME chats to Happy Daggers about their home town and the music they make there. You have quite a mix of styles going on, yet all seem to blend well. Are there any particular influences? We all have very eclectic tastes and I think that helps bring new ideas to the table and keep things fresh. I’d probably…
Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders has clearly indicated that the band will release their new studio album this year. It’s been two years since Arctic Monkeys released their last effort, 2011s ‘Suck It and See’, and fans are already eager to hear more from the Brits. Asked what he has been up to recently, the drummer said: “I have been in the desert… with motorcycles. Not with Josh [Homme], no. The band’s just been working…
Forget about “Harlem Shake”. The Danish trio New Politics is turning heads with their new single “Harlem”. Spring break is here, for some collegiate Americans at least. If you are a like me, your spring break does not start until next week. Hopefully you will be on a beach somewhere or hitting the slopes with your friends. Wherever you are, there is no reason that you should be victim of…
Mumford and Sons are truly an explosive band, and you haven’t had the chance yet, well … do yourself a favor and catch them live at a gig. Totally worth it! Still, ever wondered how the band gets ready for a gig? Their latest music video for “Whispers in the Dark” – a vocal heavy and resonant song filled with classic Mumford vibe – tries to showcase this idea. Without further ado, check out Ted…
