Pravada Latest “Flatbush”

city bird publicitypravada

Pravada is now officially on my playlist. I loved there fast pace and the gritty effect the electric guitars gave it. I got a humongous Jack White feeling from Pravada and you know that’s always a good thing. You can hear the emotion and really see that Pravada believe in what their playing about. Usually I don’t take to well to music that sounds like its been haphazardly thrown together but in Pravda’s case they make it work wonderfully. The video was also pretty good and I didn’t see anything wrong nor particularly good with it. Pravda definitely has a good start and can only go up from here.

AERS Blows in With “Blue Tempest”

city bird publicityares

The beginning of “Blue Tempest” has a very peaceful sound and I enjoyed the acoustic guitar playing above it, however, I’m not sure I feel the same way about the vocals. Since the music is more subdued the vocalist should have a stronger, purer sound. The wispy psychedelic feeling of the vocals honestly put me off. At around three quarters of the way through the song the vocalist got a little clearer but I still think it should’ve been a little more and carried throughout the whole song. The instrumentals are beautiful-especially at the end with the low note fading out. If AERS works out the vocals they will easily become a favorite to me and I don’t doubt to a lot of other people.

– April B.

Oh wow this is one of those serine songs. I can see why this would not appeal to most teens. I see “Blue Tempest” appealing to your upper college age and adult listeners that just want to relax and let go for a while. This definitely won’t appeal to everyone, but listen below through SoundCloud to see if you might like “Blue Tempest” and AERS. – Richard
