HAERTS – All the Days
Oh boy, HAERTS’ “All the Days” is a real stunner of a song. Its sound embodies everything that made pop music great in the late Eighties. Its soaring vocals and ethereal synth and guitar work relentlessly build and build with … Continue reading
Savoir Adore – Empire of Light
Didn’t I just bitch about music videos that feature the lead singer(s) performing in the back of a car? These guys are lucky that this song is so dang good. I guess they get a few bonus points for actually … Continue reading

What’s with all of these videos where the lead singer is just singing in the back seat of a car? Is this really the most exciting idea that they could think of for a music video? Seems a little lazy … Continue reading
