Yet again, Super Saturdays returns! This week we have The Flashpot Moments, SUiT, and Ryan Hamilton & The Traitors.

Hailing from one of the best cities on earth, Boston-based The Flashpot Moments put out a killer rock song called "The Learning Curve". With a wide variety of influences, the band showcase their musical diversity.

"1q84" by SUiT is a bluesy alternative rock song with a pumping, building energy. The single is off of their upcoming album, which will be released before the end of 2017.

For the hopeless romantics out there, Ryan Hamilton & The Traitors have released "We Never Should Have Moved to L.A." The amusing lyric video featuring a dancing storm trooper is definitely worth a watch.

That's it for now, until the next Super Saturdays!

Another Monday… And that means it's time for Metal Mondays! This week we've got Veio, Chase the Day, and Bullet Height.

Portland based metal act Veio have released the song "Structures", in support of their upcoming sophomore release Infinite Light / Desperate Shadows. The hard hitting song features a solid mix with sounds similar to those of Chevelle and Tool, yet bringing a tad of originality to the sound as well.

From their first full length album, Chase the Day present "Pariah". The song features hard rock riffs over a solid groove provided by the rhythm section. The UK based band certainly shows their best with this song, and it's damn good.

Last, but not least, a German duo from Berlin – Bullet Height. The electronic band has a heavy sound fitting with industrial or perhaps even NDH, and their music is definitely worth checking out. They'll be dropping an album later this year.

Until next week for more Metal Mondays to start your week!

This week on Super Saturdays we have tracks from Kaptur, Joshua James Hunt, and Bronte.

Canada's Kaptur show off their chops with the song "Futureproof", which was released on Feb. 2nd. A driving indie song with building energy, Futureproof catches the ear of the listener and draws you in. The song is from their EP, Go to Waste.

Joshua James Hunt's song "Tell Me Girl" is a high school love song with a funky bass line and driving choruses. The album Just Let Go is available now on the Joshua James Hunt website.

Sounding similar to Atlas Genius and The 1975, Brontë shares infectious indie rock with their song "Hands", which is the lead single from their EP of the same name.

That's al for now, until next weekend for another Super Saturdays!

Yet another week, and another Triple Tuesdays! The Astronots, The Sleeping Sounds, and Benchmarks fill out the lineup this week.

Orange County rock band The Astronots have released a bluesy, synth loaded song called "Rain Jammo". The song, full of solid riffs, features a good mix that holds the song together as a cohesive whole.

The Sleeping Sounds submitted the video for their track "Figure It Out". A dancy song that would sound just right on top alternative stations, I hear similarities to Atlas Genius and other such artists.

From Nashville, TN, Benchmarks have released their anthemic song "Frames". The song maintains the status-quo of indie punk, but still brings originality as well.

See you next time for another Triple Tuesdays!

This weekend on Super Saturdays we have pop punk band Exit, pop-metal act Youth in Revolt, and electronic rockers ESTHER.

Hailing from Connecticut, Exit provides smooth vocals over a wall of solid pop punk music. Taking the classic dual-vocalist approach, the band hits hard with their debut single. Their EP, also called Familiar Ground, will be released on Friday, February 3rd.

Youth in Revolt, from Holmdel, NJ (where NJ's Warped Tour stop is held every year) have released a new single about life on the road and leaving loved ones behind. Their album The Broken is due on February 17th.

If you like rock infused with synths, you'll like ESTHER. The British four piece brings a heavy edge to their music, but also has a solid sound with funky bass lines abound.

See you next weekend for another Super Saturdays!

You know what time it is… Time for Triple Tuesdays! This time around, we've got Barcreeps, another new track from Tenth Electric, and Mark of 1000 Evils.

If you're a fan of Teenage Bottlerocket, Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls, or Dropkick Murphys (minus the bagpipes), you'll probably like Barcreeps, the UK's newest punk band. Their single, "Joey Smokes", was released yesterday and Eponymous EP (yes, that's actually the title) will be released on Friday the 27th.

You may remember we shared Tenth Electric's song "Burn" a few months ago – the band is now back with another hit, "Lie To Me". Keep in mind that their EP Burn is out on March 1st!

Another band from the UK (we're three for three this week), Mark of 1000 Evils has released their track "Pay to Play". The driving but spooky sounding song invites the listener to dance along to the uptempo track.

See you at the next Triple Tuesdays!

For this edition of Metal Mondays, we have Fatally Yours, Final Drive, Deconbrio, and Atlanta is Burning.

Maryland hard rockers Fatally Yours recently released a video for their song, "Damn Your Eyes". Consisting of members formerly of the bands Bleed the Dream and Voodoo Blue, Fatally Yours provides powerful lyrics over solid, heavy riffs.

Though they only list Pantera, Clutch, Slayer, and AC/DC as influences, I hear quite a bit of Slipknot in Final Drive's new song "This is How". Mostly in the arrangement, but also in the mix and even the vocal sound. I'll let you all decide for what you think, but I really think Corey Taylor could be replaced by Jordan, the vocalist for Final Drive, if Taylor ever decided to leave Slipknot.

Deconbrio have dropped their new track "The Secret". This one reminds me a lot of Emigrate, the side project of Rammstein guitarist Richard Kruspe.

My favorite song out of the bunch (I have a bias towards bands that sound like they could play Warped Tour, as I was on the tour for a few years), Atlanta Is Burning's "Broadway". Though I think the clean vocals could definitely use some improvement, overall it's a really solid recording.

Until next week for another Metal Mondays!

This week we have ME7ROPOLIS, The Dahmers, Darko, and Dave's Neck on Super Saturdays.

Italian pop-punk band M3ROPOLIS have released a new song, titled "Wrong or Paranoid". The song channels various bands, including The Offspring, Blink-182, and Four Year Strong.

Next up, from Sweden, The Dahmers release a spooky new single called "Nightcrawler". The song was released on January 15th, and is available now!

On to British punk band Darko, and their track "Hiraeth". The album Bonsai Mammoth will be released on February 3rd of this year.

Last but not least, Swedish punk band Dave's Neck dropping their song "Knock Knock Idiot". The song is a gritty tale of not wanting to see the idiot(s) mentioned in the song ever again.

See you next week for another Super Saturdays!

Welcome to another Triple Tuesdays! This time around we have Will Tenney and the Music Business, Ripe, and Echo Texture.

To kick things off, let me introduce you to my new favorite song: "Sometimes" by songwriter Will Tenney. It was produced by Ace Enders (The Early November), Zack Odom, Kenneth Mount, and Christian Medice. This fun, upbeat song is quite catchy but manages to not be cliche. I can definitely recommend Will Tenney and the Music Business.

Boston funk band Ripe have released a killer cover of Ellie Goulding's "On My Mind". If you're in Boston on January 27th, check out their show at the Paradise Rock Club, or one of the other shows on their upcoming tour!

Rounding out the trio, we have Echo Texture and their song "Rayon". The Seattle band fuze shoegaze with hard rock. Powerful vocals are layered over a driving rhythm section, though the low end can be a bit overpowering at times.

See you next week for another Triple Tuesdays!
