ARTIST OF THE MONTH


CHAVAR DONTAE


CHAVAR DONTAE
Here is a up and coming artist from Toledo, Ohio,USA, with his new Ep ONE OF THOSE DAY'S with a mixture of funk and r&b style grooves and has the voice to back it up, a real cool cat with songs like "SLOW DOWN" and "ONE OF THOSE DAY'S" you can feel how much funk Chavar has running in his veins, excellent stuff.
SLOW DOWN - A cool funky beat in this tune with nice groove coming from the gutair, vocals have a great tone with funk elements, a good easy listener with plenty of motion to make you want to dance, sounds great.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME - A laid back tune with a r&b feel to it, gutair has a cool blues feel coming from the riff, vocals comes across with a r&b tone yet very relaxed through out the song with some good lyrics to add to it.

FIGHT LIKE APES



FIGHT LIKE APES
Here is a good band on the scene in Dublin with some catchy tunes and in your face attitude, futuristic melodic punk is a few words to describe what your in for, excellent stuff.
LEND ME YOUR FACE - A good catchy number with a great upbeat melody with a weird 80's synth melody flowing over the song, vocals have all the elements of a true punk voice crusted with a grunge in your face feel to them, this song makes you feel you want to hit something.... great tune.
BATTLESTATIONS - A cool melodic song with a dark side to it, some great work on the synth, vocals could not shout any louder!!!! but that's ok cause it really suits this song very well.
