For the past decade, LA’s Blue Broderick has crafted dreamy guitar pop as Diners, channeling the charm of ‘60s icons like Harry Nilsson and Brian Wilson. Her new album DOMINO (Bar/None Records) shifts gears into fuzzed-out, uptempo power pop, with help from Portland producer Mo Troper. It’s a bold, affirming rock record with breezy melodies and crunchy Big Star guitars.
Bory, aka Brenden Ramirez, delivers Who’s A Good Boy, a dazzling debut LP that blends dream pop, indie rock, and power pop into hook-filled, kaleidoscopic songs that linger long after listening. Following 2021’s Sidelined EP, it marks his arrival as a master of melody.
Club Cafe formed in 2022 to bring guitarist/vocalist Rebecca Jones’ heartfelt, overdriven songs to life. Built on a decade of collaboration, the band’s chemistry shines in their sincere and urgent sound.
