Picture Credit: IRYS   IRYS - Circles Release Date: August 19, 2021 Length: 04:34 Genre: Dark Pop / Post Punk Origin: Berlin , Germany 'Circles' is the fourth single by Berlin-based artist IRYS. The gloomy sound feels like the loops your thoughts go round and around in when going through tough times. Thus, the single is a sonic analogy to a long gaze into a mirror which arouses ruminating thoughts, loops and spirals of inner monologue. A remorseless and harsh synthetic Post Punk theme drives the verses forward on which artist IRYS spreads her hitdark and mesmerizing vocals. On several layers the intensity of the sound increases until it climaxes in the colourful and boppy Pop chorus. But as it happens to be in such 'Circles', the darkness returns, and therefore the thrilling synthie lead does too. IRYS' 'Circles' is the sound to be dragged away to - an intense Synthwave and Dark Pop. Music from every post will stay in the  MangoRotation  playlist  for 14 da...

I have introduced the band in yesterday's post , and am now deeply happy to present their latest single. "Embrace your Pain!" is a rough anthem for the fighters and for everyone who is going through times. The message is to embrace your suffering and stay sane. Although the new song is a bit less funky than "Different Voices", Gebrüder Manns create a tense soundscape that will please every Suicidal Tendencies fan. The new single is another moshpit hymn for fans of late-90s Alternative, Nu Metal, Rapcore, and Crossover. Gebrüder Manns create a massive arc of suspense by changing between gloomily atmospheric parts and p...

The track is powerful battle cry against patriarchy, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and oppression. Here are the "Different Voices"! Gebrüder Manns' 100%-testosterone-free sound is a sonic journey back to the mid-90s. The quartet presents powerfuly Crossover built from harsh Funk licks combined with Hardcore breaks in the verses. A melodic leads into a raging Nu Metal anthem of a chorus, and thus makes the 1990s moshpit perfect. With lyrics partially shouted, sometimes sung, and dominantly performed as rap, "Dif...

Those leaflets carried information such as "Have you seen our cat?", "I am offering banjo lessons" or "Young band seeks drummer". Of course, these pamphlets still exist, but social media has absorbed a lot of their relevance. And since eveything is possible, there are hybrid forms. You might have heard of Formed A Band , an instagram profile that collects handwritten ads by people who are seeking for fellow musicians. One of the successful stories that began on Formed A Band is the story of Crayon Jones  (he/him - guitar), Vik Chi  (she/her - drums), and Nico Rosch  (she/her - guitar/vocals). The three musicians met via Formed A Band, then they formed a band...

All instruments were...
