By

With artists like Electric High, Rich Campanella, and Mike Masser, this curation is sure to blow your top off. It is intense, gritty, and so grand in its riff play.

Electric High – Crooks

Electric High is a hardcore rock band. Hailing from Bergen, Norway, they get into the grit and grime of the rock genre and carve out ardent emotions. This latest single, ‘Crooks’ perfectly captures the sonic essence of the band. The soundscape is delightfully eclectic with influences of grunge fleshing out rock n roll and blues rock. We see deviance in the form of punk that is gradually excited with prog-rock accessories. It is alt-rock at its best, written and played with incredible energy.

Crooks is produced with the chaos and pandemonium of the theme. With flexible and dynamic foundations, the soundscape is built for drastic turns and transformation, oriented towards giving the listener an immersive experience. Listeners of Rival Sons, Royal Blood, Karnivool, and Dead Circus Letter are sure to enjoy this band. 

Rich Campanella – Over and Over

Rich Campanella and the Sunrise Band embark on an alt-rock adventure with their debut album, ‘Over and Over’. The album reveals a plethora of retro influences, especially fleshing out americana with passionate vocals and rich instrumentation. The album hosts eight songs that explore the complex quotients of love and relationships. And Rich’s expressive baritones are perfectly tailored to drive these thematic emotions to the forefront.

Mike Masser – True Git

Mike Masser is a solo rock artist and guitarist with a strong vocation for the genre. Every release demonstrates his lofty artistry and virtuoso. After spending most of the 00s playing for many bands, under this banner, he is devoted to exploring his personal ties to the rock genre. His style is exploratory, yet emphatic. He drives headfirst into hard rock, fleshing out its power with grunge, nu metal, and noise rock. In his album, ‘True Git’, Mike Masser dives into the gritty riff abysses and bottomless distortions to give us eight stellar tracks.
