I really love these guys. They are from the UK and they came over to Denver as Independent musicians and play some shows near me and I was absolutely blown away... These guys NEED the exposure they deserve.. All original music too.

THANK YOU!!!

I never knew there was a place to submit for the Tip-Off!

The band I'm putting forward is called Klimt 1918, they mix elements of shoegaze, post rock and ambient music into a sound that is very wide and captivating. The vocals really draw you into the music and make it impossible to focus on anything else. Think Alcest but more mellow and less black metal influence!

Okay so my Discover Weekly served up some real treats this week!

One of those is a Swiss solo artist who goes by the name of Zeal & Ardor. He used to create chamber-pop music, but his current music is definitely very different from that. He combimes elements of African blues music with black metal in a way that strangely works. Think combining Coke and Fanta; it seems awful, but it just works.
