The first thing I noticed about London-based trio BERRIES was the distinctive voice of lead vocalist Holly, who sounds more than similar to Jack Off Jill frontwoman Jessicka Addams. Not content with that alone, the band have honed an engaging, punchy rock sound that's filled with delicious melodies and naughty fuzzy riffs, which they describe... Continue Reading →

DIY punk rockers Melisandre's Beaver are easy to dismiss as three 'idiots' - their words - with a silly name, but they've produced an album that's well worth your time and attention. The Kent trio began as three mates who started jamming together, wrote some tunes, clicking through their love for "the same stupid things,"... Continue Reading →
The New York district of Queens is historically best known musically for producing big-time hip-hop artists, such as 50 Cent and Run-DMC.
