SINGLES…
Aloud | “Son of the Dharma”
L.A. music veterans, Aloud, are back with another soulful single:”Son of the Dharma.” It isn’t quite country, and it isn’t quite rock — it’s that difficult-to-master combination of the two.

Pet Envy | Middleman
PET ENVY ★ MIDDLEMANwww.youtube.com
The video for Pet Envy’s eerie single “Middleman” puts a sinister spin on how artists navigate the music business. “The middleman wears many different faces in the music industry, which is why we have given everyone paper bag heads in the video,” the band said.

Bets | Future Color
To categorize Bets as simply pop would be a gross understatement. Each track, while pop in nature, incorporates elements characteristic of indie rock and synth-pop, creating a spectacle you won’t want to miss.
