Simon Andersson - Better Day



Swedish rocker Simon Andersson just released his brand new single Better Day which is his first solo release in two years and the starting point of a new chapter. A nice blend of pop music and indie rock. Big guitars and huge drums reminding us of Phil Collins and arena rock. Yet a subtle intro featuring the piano and Simons intimate voice. Halfway through there is an instrumental break building up to the full-fledged end chorus. Andersson does almost everything here: the writing, the production and mixing aside from playing the piano, guitars and performing the vocals. Lyrically Better Day is about being there for others when they need a helping hand.

DMS - Games We Play


Games We Play is the latest single released by Edinburgh-based five-piece rock band DMS. A classic rock song influenced by the sounds of Chris Cornell,The Verve and Pink Floyd. Great music and vocal work with amazing sound production make this piece stick in your mind for a long time. The band says about it : "This is probably the closest we'll ever come to writing a 'love' song but as usual the definition has become a bit warped. It highlights the importance of trust in a relationship and how lots of people take it for granted until it's too late. Our protagonist is only interested in the eventual outcome of 'the game' regardless of how many other relationships are destroyed in the process. We reckon most people can relate to either being involved in situations like these or knows someone that's been through it".
