This Week’s ‘Riffs & Roads’ is all About that Curious Ear

Andrea Pizzo and the Purple Mice – We are all Bots 

In this modern era of rock music, Andrea Pizzo and the Purple Mice come in with their unique flavour of alternative rock. Forging a brand of absurd funk and quirks, pioneering a stylistic vastness that makes you curious. Their latest release is the ‘We are all Bots’ album, a collection that is well represented by its title track. An electric blend of darkwave, soul blues, and gentle riffs, it is reminiscent of the blend between The Beatles, Queen, and David Bowie. The vocals are a vivid presence that acts as a gateway to the melodic intricacies of the soundscape. With its refreshingly warping style, it is a great song for the road. Keeps you awake and lively. Listen Now! 

The Zangwills – Beers with the Beekeeper 

The Zangwills is an up and coming band from Northwest UK. Their style of rock is soft and soulful, but hypnotic and charismatic. The band’s ideas are very imaginative as they explore interesting frames like in their latest, ‘Beers with the Beekeeper’. To match it, we are given curious musical scenes, full of descriptive instrumentals, and youthful energy. The indie pop track has a dramatic curve, filling up with riffs, pounding with beats, and a cinematic melodic vein. With the vocals being so soulful, inflating with authentic feeling and energy, the whole soundscape comes together like a sphere of music, swirling around the listener, enveloping you in its reality and exploration.

Maverick Smith – Sinking Feeling 

Looking for classic rock riffs with a soulful country twist? Maverick Smith’s latest release, ‘Sinking Feeling’ delivers that and more. The band explores the theme with a storytelling narrative, forging real feeling and emotion. With the soundscape designed with falling melodies and contemplative vocals, it progressively takes on conceptual aspects of the theme. There is however a melancholic warmth, a ribbon of heartache that ties it all together, guiding the listener to personal moments of pain. Using neoclassicals, consistent beats, and fluid vocals, they hit the country dynamics, dispersing it through a fuzzy riff plane.
