Introducing a Band: Giant Rooks

Today, I want you to get to know a band I found 2 months ago and loved them ever since. I'm talking about 'Giant Rooks', a German band based in Hamm. The five boys have released 2 EPs so far but only one of them, called 'New Estate', can be found on online platforms such as Spotify.

'New Estate' is a five-track EP that contains very catchy but yet special songs. In the big indie-world the guys managed to find their own sound and the lead singer Frederiks unique voice makes their Music even more remarkable.
In my opinion, the EP has a lot of hits and shows the bands huge potential. Every song on the EP is different but yet it's very cohesive. Everytime I listen to the EP, I find something new that I love.
The first song I heard - and I still think it's my favourite- is 'Bright Lies' which you can listen to below to get a first impression of the band.

The band is currently touring and will play on a few festivals this summer, such as Lollapalooza Berlin. So if you want to see them live, you should definitely use the opportunity now because I think they won't play in front of such a small audience much longer. 

Album Review: 'Letters'

Last Thursday (July,23rd), Nick Cunningham dropped his debut EP 'Letters' with 6 songs on it.

The Album is a great mix of more quiet and powerful songs that you can listen to, no matter what mood your in.

To me, the EP is an easy summer listen that I can imagine listening to while on a road trip.

Nick Cunningham is an Australian Newcommer artist who is currently playing at bars and a few shows in Byron Bay in Australia. The Singer-Songwriter also played at the Australian Music Festival 'Splendour in the Grass' this year and last year as well.

In my opinion, Nick's Music is comparable to Ben Howard's and Matt Corby's so if you're a fan of either one you should definitely give him a listen. Due to Nick's unique voice and 6 guitar-based heart-warming songs, 'Letters' is definitely a set part of my this year's summer playlist.

You can find his music on iTunes, Spotify and Soundcloud.
