Week In Review: New Songs / Music Videos You Need to Check Out (June 9-15, 2019)


Over the course of any given week a lot of new music gets released. This week was no different as we saw new songs and music videos from some of today’s top artists and more hit the internet.

Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves new music. That’s why we’ve once again scoured the internet for the best new songs and music videos of the week. Here are six (and a handful more) of our favorites that we think are worth a listen.


1.       Charly Bliss, “Young Enough”: The title track off Charly Bliss’ recently released sophomore album, “Young Enough” mixes Eva Grace Hendricks’ ethereal vocals with an at times chaotic and frenzied power-pop melody that soars. (video)

2.       The Avett Brothers, “High Steppin’”: “High Steppin’” is an alt-country rocker that makes you both want to get up and dance and contemplate life. Starting out with a picked bass intro and line-dance worthy melody, the song breaks down in the middle with a thought-provoking sociopolitical monologue. Now more informed, the song heads back to the main melody, now even more enthusiastic than before. (video)

3.       Machine Gun Kelly, Yungblud & Travis Barker, “I Think I’m Okay”: “I Think I’m Okay” grows on you after a couple of listens. The song takes Machine Gun Kelly’s punk-leaning rap and Yungblud’s malleable vocals and puts them against Travis Barker’s inimitable drumming to create a catchy rock banger. (video)

4.       Marshmello feat. A Day To Remember, “Rescue Me”: Marshmello has been unstoppable lately and now he’s ventured into the hard rock realm. “Rescue Me,” his collaboration with A Day To Remember is the perfect combination of both artists’ sounds. While there are electronic breakdowns, they compliment the rock instrumentals instead of warping them beyond recognition. (video)

5.       Badflower, “Promise Me”: “Promise Me” is an emotional rollercoaster of a song. Its lyrics tell a story of love, loss and growing up, delivered with such passion that you really feel for the song’s protagonist. The punk-leaning pop-rock melody intensifies and relaxes as the lyrical phrasing dictates. The video is just as intense, bringing the song’s story and lyrics to life. (video)

6.       Sum 41, “A Death In The Family”: Sum 41 doesn’t miss a beat on their fast-paced new single “A Death In The Family,” the latest from their upcoming seventh studio album ‘Order In Decline.’ Going between aggressive, “in your face” chords and broken-down choruses, the song is a call to action and warning to those in power that change is coming. I also love how the video contrasts what punk and ska looked like 50 years ago verses today. (video)

Further Listening:
·         Shinedown, “Monsters”: (video)
·         Bruce Springsteen, “Western Stars”: (video)
·         Telethon, “Wanderparty”: (video)
·         Hiss Golden Messenger, “I Need A Teacher”: (video)
·         Sleater-Kinney, “The Future Is Here”: (video)
·         Volbeat, “Last Day Under The Sun”: (video)
·         Jesse Malin feat. Billie Joe Armstrong, “Strangers & Thieves”: (video)
