Nightspell - "Pegasus"

Image
You just know that any song named "Pegasus" is going to be an epic rock song, most likely in the prog or metal side of things. Nightspell's song definitely fits that, although with members from legendary indie bands like Scarce, Swirlies, and Pistolwhip, their "Pegasus" is a little more indie than prog or metal, although not entirely prog or metal free. "Pegasus" is a giant indie rock epic, filled with swirling guitars, primal drumming, and more fuzz than you'd think possible. In all of this indie rock goodness is also some oddly catchy vocals and this hypnotic hum droning in the background off and on. This is a huge song for a band you're going to need to keep an eye on. You can watch the video for "Pegasus" below. The song is available as a single via Red On Red Records. You can get a copy over at Bandcamp .

Nightspell - "Sea of Thieves"

This probably won't come as a shock to anyone, but Red On Red Records has released yet another killer song from a new Boston band! Nightspell are comprised of members of Scarce, Swirlies, and Pistolwhip. Their debut single, "Sea of Thieves," is the kind of mid-90's alternative power pop that we've come to expect from the label, but with Nightspell's own unique spin on it. "Sea of Thieves" is incredibly catchy with plenty of that 90's crunch we love. But Nightspell adds some fantastic harmonizing on top of that. Plus, as positive and cheerful as the song sounds, there's this darkness just hinted at below the surface. This is the kind of debut song that's going to have us desperate to hear more from a brand new band. You can listen to "Sea of Thieves" below. The song is available now on Bandcamp via Red On Red Records. Sea of Thieves by Nightspell
