Wonder What a “Detroit Summer” is Like?
Gritty. Raw. Confident. All three of those equate to Invincible. She is a commando on the microphone and this up-coming release with Detroit power-house producer, Waajeed is nothing less than HOT. Detroit Summer was premiered as an exclusive on Hot 97 with Peter Rosenburg. Thankfully something else on YouTube about Detroit other than “It’s So Cold in [...]

New NZ Music Spotlight: Home Brew
I’ve been holding back on introducing Home Brew to the Couchsessions massive, mostly because I was scared that nothing I’d write about them could actually do them enough justice. However, I will bite the bullet and plough ahead with this introduction of my favourite New Zealand group, Home Brew. I first got introduced to Home [...]
Koru Licks EP
When my good friend Haz told me last year about his “bro’s band” Koru Licks and how dope they were, I had no idea how much I’d be kicking myself for taking six months to finally give their music a listen. After a bit of down time last week, I took him up on his [...]
Introducing: Connan Mockasin
I’m not quite sure what draws people more to Connan Mockasin, his infectious high-pitched dreamy vocals, or his innate ability to make being cooky, seem completely normal. His quirkiness continues to fuel my fascination with him and it only worsened in recent months when he dropped his debut album last month titled, Please Turn Me [...]
Hollie Smith and Bulletproof- If You Fall
Hollie Smith and Bulletproof – If You Fall [Audio clip: view full post to listen] So my four week holiday has come to an end and I am feeling like I am only just starting to recover from SXSW now. It’s my second day back home and I have realised A LOT of dope things [...]
Why I Will Never Go To A Bar With Kiely Williams…
I’m not going to pretend to know much about Kiely Williams’ career. I know about 3LW and The Cheetah Girls, but I couldn’t name you any of their songs or tell you anything about them (aside from the fact that Cheetah Girls is a Disney concoction). The only reason I even really know who she [...]

Introducing a slice of soul from Down Under
Before I get into who this soul sister pictured above is, let me briefly introduce myself. Whilst living in Mexico at the beginning of 2008, I was scouring the net for info on SXSW parties to attend and stumbled across The Couch Sessions and LOVED the site. Stone and I then began exchanging party info [...]
New Music: The Drums
The Drums are a new band from Brooklyn, by way of Florida, who sound like they were plucked off a sunny California beach circa 1953. The four fresh-faced NYC transplants, led by childhood best friends Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham, are getting some serious buzz right now. They’ve have become my latest obsession too, thanks [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
