When I lived in New York City last summer I went to a concert series in Central Park. There were tons of bands playing, but the one I really remember is The Brazilian Girls. The first thing I noticed when I saw them perform, was that of the three members, only one is a girl. Also, the lead vocalist was singing in French, so I didn't think they were even Brazilian!

Imagine walking into a really chic boutique or a swanky bar. Now think about the song that would be playing in the store. That song would probably sound something like “The Bomb" by Bitter:Sweet. The repetitive baseline and sultry nature of the singer's voice definitely gives it a flirtatious feel. Then, out of nowhere, the tempo speeds up with the help from a keyboard...

I've never been to the future. But I would imagine that the music there would sound something like Styrofoam. This one-man music maker is from Belgium and his music is categorized as indie/electronica/pop.

“Happy beats and sad lyrics" is how musician Arne Van Petegem of Styrofoam describes his sound. A perfect example of this combo can be heard in the song “After Sunset". The lyrics read, “will you be there to catch me if I'm falling," however, the beats remain extrem...

The Submarines…What a perfect duo! This indie pop pair from LA not only has a great sound, but they also have a great story - a love story. Blake Hazard (vocals/keyboards) and John Dragonetti (vocals/guitar) are married now, but in the past, their break-ups served as inspiration for their music. So much so, that their second album “Declare a New State," features many songs about how sad they were to be broken up. My favorite song off of this CD is “Peace and Hat...

Not many groups mix together the sounds of a synthesizer, keyboard and a talk box. But Chromeo is able to use all of these instruments to create their highly unique and innovative sound. When I hear their music, I immediately think of the eighties. Their catchy beats and even more addictive choruses make it hard not to dance.

Dave 1 and P-Thugg are the duo that make up Chromeo. They hail from Canada and have been best friends since childhood. I met up with them at SXS...

Is rockalicious a word? Well, if it is, that is definitely how I would describe the sound of Earl Greyhound. EG is a rock trio that hails from Brooklyn. The mix of male and female vocals matched with hard rock drumming from Big Ricc Sheridan all contribute to this band’s unique modern update on a classic sound.

Earl Greyhound’s current single “S.O.S.” is the p...

Kreesha Turner is a brand new face on the music scene. She hails from our neighbor to the north, Canada, and has a fresh sound unlike any other. And we’re introducing her to the world with our first Nike Song of the Week.

Turner’s sound is as eclectic as her influences. Her new song “Bounce with Me” is definitely one for the Girl on the Go. It is a fresh mix of...
