Good Morning Stranger

Foreign Air

If nothing else, just listen to ‘The Apartment.’ That song is repeat-worthy. Foreign Air isn’t your average indie-alt band. They racked up 100 million streams before they even released a full-length album. They’ve put a ton of thought into the production of Good Morning Stranger and there’s a song (Life Goes On) that’s not even in our top-3 for the album but it’s featured on MLB The Show 21. This album has got some classic rock feels, modern alternative rock style, and a production quality that really sets the indie-alternative rock genre apart. You get way more than just guitar and vocals on this one. We think there’s a favorite song for you all on this 2020 album.

It’s only a matter of time before Apple picks them up for one of their classic iPhone commercials with someone dancing through the street.

SG Lewis

This last year has brought a lot of old trends back. Baggy jeans —> BACK. My uncle’s completely uneducated political rants —> BACK. Disco music --> BACK. Don’t believe me? Go back and re-listen to Dua Lipa’s Grammy winning album, The Weeknd’s Super Bowl half-time show, or better yet, SG Lewis’ funky new project, times. While it may not be the exact disco beats of old, the influence is abundantly clear and whether you’re a disco hater or a disco stan, there’s no stopping the nu-disco revolution from taking over. times is a groovy set of house tunes centered around bubbly baselines and fun-loving lyrics that make it impossible not to crack a smile or tap your feet.

No Sleep

Honey Hounds

Here’s a chance to get in on the ground floor people! The Honey Hounds are a “booty shakin’ blues trio” from Jacksonville, FL with just over 30k monthly listeners on Spotify right now. The ’Hounds play southern rock-inspired blues that feels a little like Sublime at times. No Sleep would be the perfect album to let play during your summer cookout while absolutely embarrassing your brother-in-law in cornhole. 21-0 means you have to leave, Dale.

Click here to learn more about the band. The Honey Hounds are all hometown friends. Nicholas Izzard was the founding member of Honey Hounds. He dropped out of college in 2012 and started to pursue his own solo career when he eventually met back up with Tyler Watts. Nicholas and Tyler moved to the Florida Keys in 2015 and then spent the rest of the year refining their sound. Eventually they brought in Nathan Ranew, moved up to Jacksonville, and finalized their debut album: No Sleep.

The Game

Queen

Anything from Queen is just an absolute classic! It was tough to pick a specific album but Another Bites The Dust is my favorite so I had to go with that. The album elicits a wide range of emotions, from the more melancholy tone of Save Me & Play The Game to the more funky, upbeat Another One Bites The Dust & Crazy Little Thing Called Love. What's not to love?!
