⭐ PREMIERE ⭐ | Younger Hunger | “Dead Inside”
Haunt pop trio Younger Hunger’s single “Dead Inside” is the perfect prelude to their debut EP, according to frontman Tony Davia. “We were all at this party and I was having a bad night. So we all left to go hang out at our studio and play some N64,” he said. “We ended up jamming and that’s when we wrote the hook over an old cowbell loop.”

Austin singer-songwriter Sheridan Reed’s single “Twisted Up” is one of several singles slated for release in the coming months. “Twisted Up” describes the anguish of poorly timed love. “It’s about the emotional push and pull of being attracted to someone who is already spoken for,” noted Reed, “and whether it’s worth the risk.”

The Collection | Entropy
Chamber pop band The Collection lives up to its name, sporting a myriad of instruments and, on their debut album, 25 members. They’ve since pared down to a manageable (and tour-able) sized group. Their bold harmonies and complex instrumentals sound more like a group of 25 than one of four.
