With new artists and bands emerging from all corners of the world, it’s tough to keep track of all the names, faces, and sounds out there.
We at FILTER Magazine have done all the hard work for you to curate a weekly guide of which bands are worthy of your ears.
From our motto, “good music will prevail,” to our free Good Music Guide, it’s safe to say that we know a little something about music.
Trust us; you’ll be dancing and singing along to these artists in no time!
Even after two weekends of never-ending music at the Coachella Music Festival, we still can’t get enough of some of the acts that we saw.
This first installation features bands that put on a rockin’ show in the desert sun of Indio, CA.
Palma Violets
Among all the electronic sounds of today, Palma Violets provides some relief with their pure garage rock n’ roll.
The guitars are loud and vocals gritty, just as they should be in a rock performance.
We aren’t the only ones who have taken notice of Palma Violets; they’ve won multiple awards in their native country England.
Check out their track “Best of Friends” to hear what all the hype is about – you won’t be disappointed!
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
This New York born and bred trio recently released their fourth album, Mosquito, to wide critical acclaim.
With a screeching wail, flamboyant costumes and a stage persona to match, frontwoman Karen O. is easily recognizable singing in a track and jumping around on stage.
The raw energy the band brought to Coachella simply placed them among the best acts of both weekends.
For a taste of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, we suggest you listen to their single “Sacrilege” and enjoy the gospel choir in the background.
The Neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood has just passed a very important milestone in the career of a band: they just released their debut album, I Love You.
The Los Angeles quintet’s first release is full of modern-sounding rock; it fuses hallmarks of alternative rock with dashes of R&B and hip hop to create a uniquely brooding sound.
They played an impressive set at Coachella and if that’s any indication of things to come, the future looks very bright for The Neighbourhood.
To get a feel for their sound, listen to their track “Sweater Weather”!
