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.

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)

·
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)
From the alt-country sounds of The Avett Brothers to the
hard-rocking informed punk of Sum 41 and everything in between, there were lot
of great new rock songs and music videos released over the past week. Check out
