hendren – Cannot Heal
Similar artists: The Gun Club, The Smashing Pumpkins, Lenny Kravitz, King Krule, Public Image Ltd.
Genre: 90s Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative Rock
hendren is obsessed with cool rockstars and music that naturally sounds confrontational. Thankfully the artist is ready to turn pro and use similar daring maneuvres for his own recordings.
The most important artists throughout the history of pop music have been the ones capable of lying back deep into their thoughts and still earning the interest of large audiences. Some call it charisma. But, more than likely, it’s a sense of purpose with which these musicians manage to imbue their artistic process.
hendren “Cannot Heal” is built on the correct assumption that music fans react to emotions more than they react to slogans. Hurt and anger aren’t always feelings that are encouraged in our modern world.
But as hendren has understood, those are instantly recognizable. This is what powers this single and what is supposed to make audiences shiver and shake. Life involves numerous subtle confrontations, and this Ecuadorian musician knows people need a soundtrack for them.
SaffeK – LOUD
Similar artists: Rage Against The Machine, Royal Blood, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, TOOL
Genre: Alternative Rock
SaffeK are students of modern rock stars, and they use their extensive knowledge to craft a show meant to entice audiences and get their blood pumping.
I recently read a story about the sightings of Hanoii Rocks’ Michael Monroe. According to the internet, the Finnish singer buys his groceries dressed in the same glam attire that he’s worn on stage for the past decades. I was really pleased to read this.
You see, the truth is that we don’t want our rockstars to be ordinary. At least, not for long. Making an effort to see them live or to watch their videos would simply not cover the cost of the effort. No, we want them to be otherworldly.
SaffeK’s “LOUD” is an excuse for the Greek hard-rock band to present their show, their stage moves, and their understanding of what makes a crowd move. Building upon the kind of rock bands that have managed genuine hits and graduated to playing to stadium audiences, SaffeK is preparing to go the extra mile, wear the makeup and costumes, and invite you to their gigs.
