Genre: Alternative Rock
From: Manchester, England
Composed of: James Moon – Vocals
Will Tait – Guitar
Nathan Gibbons – Bass
Luke Williams – Drums
They have just released their debut single, “Control.”
Quick Overview: Each song feels very full, but not overly
packed with musical goodness, just the right amount. Nothing seems out of place, they have great
dynamics all working towards building up energy and releasing then repeating
with each song. The keyboard and synth are
great features behind the rest of the band, really helps to secure the overall
atmosphere of the songs. They describe
their tunes as “upbeat, anthemic, atmospheric,
intense, dramatic,” and I’d agree with all of those, but also dynamically
structured and sound. Overall shape of the music is good, intricate
melodies, just all-round good feeling and sounding tunes. It seems
as though you could turn on the radio and hear any of Kassoma’s songs playing.
My Verdict: Like – I think with a bit of luck and some
really good publicity, Kassoma could become a pretty well-known name.

Artist: Good Morning Chicago
Genre: Pop Rock/Punk
From: Hamilton, Ontario
Composed of: Marco Biundo – Vocals and Guitar
Corbin Giroux – Guitar and Vocals
Christian Cashin –
Drums
Tyler D’Costa – Bass and Vocals
They have two singles out, both released in 2012, “Done” and
“Call the Doctor.”
Quick Overview: Strong guitar, big drums, and at times you
can amazingly hear the bass (which it seems like most bands now a-days almost
put too far into the background). Sounds
like on ever track the vocals are giving all they can. The studio versions sound like how I’d
imagine their live performances sound. They
seem to be trying to keep that raw live atmosphere in the mix of things, which
tends to be unlike most pop punk bands.
Dynamically Good Morning Chicago sounds on the fence between pop punk
and pop rock; they aren’t overly pop punk and they aren’t overly pop rock. They are worth checking out if you like the
style of music.
My Verdict: Not really for me – but I think if I were more
into pop punk I I’d like Good Morning Chicago a bit more.

I’d like to thank both Kassoma and Good Morning Chicago, and
hope that the future is friendly to both of you. If you want to discover more new bands, don’t

Cheers.
