UK-based elctro rock act ESTHR have been regularly releasing singles for about four years, and their latest effort "Violence" is stellar in every way.
Not only do the music and lyrics convey the anger of what's been happing in the world this year, the production and mix highlight that energy quite nicely. It probably helped that the band had to write the song remotely, likely fueling the frustration being poured into the song.
In fact, judging by the sound you'd think you're listening to a major label act, it's that good – yet ESTHR is an independent band. It shows that they've clearly got their priorities straight and know that to have a shot in music, they have to put out the best product possible, and they've certainly done that!
