22 May: “The StoneHengers” – The Margaret Hooligans: Socially Aware, Ukulele-Driven Garage Rock

“The StoneHengers,” the seventh single from The Margaret Hooligans’ forthcoming album ThunderHole Rock n’ Roll, exemplifies the band’s talent for creating music that is both immediately accessible and richly layered. At first listen, the track comes across as an upbeat 90s rock song with driving electric ukulele riffs (yes, that’s a ukulele) and dynamic drumming. However, true to the band’s style, it quickly becomes apparent that there is more beneath the surface.

18 May: “Take a Bite” – beabadoobee: Giving Into Temptation All Over Again

Beabadoobee can’t help but “Take a Bite” in her newest single – a track about giving in again, and again… even though you know it’s bad for you. Bea takes some accountability, admitting that she’s living in fantasyland but is finding it too comfortable to leave. It’s hard to take off the rose-tinted glasses, and even more difficult when you love how they look.
