Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden Single “Blue Hotel”

museKate Tucker1

Usually I don’t like higher pitched female vocals, but in Kate Tucker and the Sons of Sweden’s case I really liked it. Kate was softer but she wasn’t wispy. There’s a big difference between singing higher with breath control than without and Kate proves that. She had enough support and strength behind her sound to work with the rest of the music instead of getting overpowered by it. Speaking of, I loved the groove from the instrumentals. The more rock feel gave their sound just the right amount of edge to really stand out in a good way. From the very beginning I was really into the music. Their name is a little long for me but that’s a minor detail, I know plenty of bands that have longer names that have gone big. This is another great band to keep your eye on.

Young Rising Sons single “King of the World”

museyoung sons

Young Rising Sons is my type of music! From their look to their sound everyone appeals to my tastes artistically. I always talk about wanting crisper vocals but sometimes the opposite works just as good-if not better. Having crisper instrumentals with a more static sound for vocals is brilliant and makes the music even more interesting. The lyrics are amazing, poetic and truthful. The instrumentals also stand on their own and keep the song moving and the listener interested because they aren’t too repetitive. Young Rising Sons is great and I think I just found my back to school obsession.

-April B.

Immigrant Union’s single “I Can’t Return”

museimmigrant union

Immigrant Union has figured out the right amount of soft and hard sounds. The mellower, soft rock feel of the music is balanced with the sharp sounds of the vocals and backup singers. Even though the vocals aren’t crisp, compared to the rest of the music they sound crisp. It’s very hard to find the right balance when going into the retro, soft rock genre and Immigrant Union has figured it out. The only thing I have to pick out is that the music video is a little too retro. I loved the idea they were going for but it didn’t come off as a naturally retro video. It came off more as a 21st Century band trying too hard to capture a 20th Century look.

Night Club Lives Up to the Name

musenightclub

Night Club is the duo Emily Kavanaugh, vocalist, and Mark Brooks, producer.  They have a Synth Pop Dance feel to their music.  You can here their music being played while you are out clubbing very easily.  The beats tell your body “get up and dance!” and if nothing else you will be nodding your head to it.  Having the duo cover INXS’ single “Need You Tonight” is completely appropriate.  They have played with the cover oh so little.  To me that makes this cover one of the better covers I’ve heard.  Don’t take my word for it.  The MuseBox is letting you listen to it below through SoundCloud – Richard

Young Rising Sons Whistling Along on “High”

museyoung sons

House of the Young Rising Sons: Dirty Canvas Music Launches Newest Band with Release of “High” Video

Artist development company headed by Shep Goodman and Aaron Accetta reveals next big roster addition

“High” from Young Rising Sons definitely got me high. From the very beginning I loved it, any type of whistling usually wins me over. The voice is great and the lyrics mean something. It’s hard to find that now. I already liked the song from the very beginning, but when the bass came in it was game over. I was completely in love with this song. Anyone who reads my reviews know how much I love bass and this is another example of just how awesome it can be. The bass transformed the song from an ok song into an awesome song. It’s that extra umph that’s really needed to make a song.

-April B.
Check out the video below from the “YoungRisingSons” YouTube Channel.  Very catchy and I think you’ll like it:
