The Staycations - The Enemy

| Kerri
I get home
You've got that look which says there's something more
So we talk
And once again you say there's nothing wrong

A happy discovery for me, this indie quintet from Cambridgeshire, England. They formed in "secondary school" (9th-11th grades in the U.S.), found their drummer in college, and have found enough success and encouragement now to warrant a gap year to concentrate on both performing and writing more music. They released an EP in 2014 and two singles last year. It's this song, "The Enemy", which brought them to my attention.

White Reaper - Judy French

| Keith
You know you crack my back, little lady, when you tease me like you do
It could be simple
You and me simple
If you say you like it, too

White Reaper are aiming high, as is evidenced by the title of their latest album, The World's Best American Band. I'll give it to them that their latest single "Judy French" is the type of American rock awesome you expect from given the title. I've just missed them a few times they've come through, might need to rectify that as soon as I can.

Bonus! The lyric video is a kick.

LP - Lost on You

| Kerri
When you get older, plainer, saner
When you remember all the danger we came from
Burning like embers, falling, tender
Long before the days of no surrender
Years ago and well you know
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
'Cause it's going down
All I ever wanted was you
I'll never get to heaven
'Cause I don't know how

Let's raise a glass or two
To all the things I lost on you
Oh oh, Tell me are they lost on you?
Oh oh, Just that you could cut me loose
Oh oh, After everything I've lost on you
Is that lost on you?
Oh oh, Is that lost on you?

Laura Pergolizzi (LP) is a raised-in-NYC-moved-to-LA, power-house-voiced, hit songwriting, androgynously dressed, compulsive whistler

RIYL: Tegan and Sara, Sia, Feist, St. Vincent
