Here is the first fantastic tune off AoTW favourite Evan Voytas forthcoming Feel me EP. This is what it would sound like of Prince started a band with Hall and oates. Feel me is out Jan 24 through Dovecote Records.

Chicago duo Gauntlet hair have a new video and its full of Arnold Schwarzenegger clips, including commando! Thats not the best thing, its the music; wall of amazing echoing noise that contradicts their duo status.

Catchy energetic, cool punk-pop track with a ‘50s jukebox vibe and hints of ‘Parallel Lines’-era Blondie on the female vocals and strokes-like riffs.
