V.E.N!-Break the Compass 

There is something that is heart-racing and downright intoxicating about going the untrodden path. V.E.N! is the solo project-and if anything a neural emotional network and diary of musician Edu Campoy. His track "Break the Compass" comes from his latest album, "Waking Up in the Night". These are all your 2 am thoughts, muddled fantasies, and challenges you resolved in your head, which you'd never dare to explore. "Break the Compass" follows that very journey, with hypnotising guitar notes opening the track.  There is a slight crunch in the tone and reverb that makes it seem like you're listening to it while dreaming. Vocal harmonies and the lack of percussion almost warp your sense of time as the melody reaches a gratifying crescendo in the chorus. When the drums do explode into the scene, it captures all of the thrill in a couple of notes and becomes a permanent part of your journal of life :

Meghanne Storey, Silent D-I Knew It Wasn’t True (Full Band)

Sometimes when a great track plays, you scramble to your phone to know who the music is by. Meghanne Storey shows us the power of true artistic collaboration on her latest song, "I Knew It Wasn't True", performed with Silent D and Lynn Sorensen. This is an acoustic rock number that is folded in perfectly with groove, passion, and undeniable style. Even before you hear any of the vocal elements, the acoustic guitars play a ditty that etches itself in your brain. The moment Meghanne starts singing, you can observe the power and drive with which she sings. A commanding voice that is webbed with complexity and versatility, she carries the meaning of the song like a lived experience through days and years. Whether it's how the bass moves, accompanying Meghanne's voice, or how the pure spirit of songwriting has been imbibed in the song, it's an all-around hit that is an ode to stellar music ability: 

Kings of Decay-Rising Through The Noise

And you cry over the demise of old-school rock? Kings of Decay are here to show you that all great things don't come to an end. They just don't feel the need to hog the spotlight. Rising Through the Noise is hard rock royalty with a great riff, a pulsating tempo, and a palpable energy that will have you stopping yourself from kicking the accelerator. The powerful guitar tone and rhythm that opens the song give you a taste of it, while the verse section is bass- and percussion-loaded. You hone in on the lyrics, for it inspires you and makes you want to tear away the blanket of noise and chaos that surrounds you all the time. It is the kind of song which truly rides the wave, that knows how to seize the moment and barrage forward with no looking back. The band has done a great job on production, fine-tuning it while not losing that raw power. Want another recommend from them? Ride with your Friends plays next:
