"1:42 seconds of complete joy" says Dave Reynolds of 99.7 The River

MICHAEL BEHM Love’s Like Numbers With “Love’s Like Numbers,” Michael Behm delivers again. He has earned an international reputation as a pure pop singer/songwriter par excellence, and this dazzling new single ups the ante. A slice of pop nirvana, it features a melody you just can’t or won’t want to shake, and a clear and compelling message. To Behm, the language of love is “very basic. Be clear in your mind about the type of experience you want to have with a person, and all your actions line up with that intention. ‘Love’s Like Numbers’ is about the simplicity of love.” With the perfect precision of a Japanese haiku, Behm makes his point in just 1 minute and 42 seconds. “The optimum length is the one the song needs in order to convey the necessary energy,” he explains. To drive his musical point home, Behm fully utilizes his multi-faceted skills as a singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He records all his material at a state of the art home studio on Vancouver Island, and makes no apologies for the classic ‘60s and ‘70s feel of his production. “That’s when the best ever music was created,” he says. “My brain has retained many different approaches to music over the years, and this is where I end up. I’m grateful for that, as I love that style of music and those techniques.” It may have retro roots, but Michael Behm’s music possesses a contemporary relevance that has earned it a welcoming response from radio in North America, Europe and Australia. His previous single, “If I Could Learn To Fly,” recently topped both the Pop and Power Pop charts in Australia on mp3.au.com alongside No. 1 (Vancouver) and No. 2 (Canada) positions on the Reverb Nation chart. The title track of Behm’s 2008 album Saving America scored notable airplay and media attention in the U.S., with its pointedly political subject matter confirming the breadth of his lyrical vision. His U.S. publishers, Rumblefish and Scorekeeper, are earning significant success in placements from his deep catalogue of song titles south of the border. Closer to home, B.C. adult contemporary radio station 99.7 The River is using Behm’s “Take Me Down To The River” as its theme, while Vancouver’s Rock 101 selected another Behm original as the theme for its popular Bro Jake Show. Michael terms “Love’s Like Numbers” “the first of a new generation of songs of mine. I’ve been refining a simpler approach to songwriting, coming up with strong themes and focusing on them.” Here’s a song and an artist that really count.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Phil Shoenfelt & Pavel Cingl with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Live At the House of Sin"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Phil Shoenfelt & Pavel Cingl with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Live At the House of Sin"

"Live At the House of Sin" is an incredible collaboration between English singer/songwriter Phil Shoenfelt and Czech violinist and guitarist Pavel Cingl. Recorded live at the Nova Sin club in Prague, this album features digs into the Shoenfelt songbook and features Shoenfelt on acoustic guitar and lead vocals, reminiscent of Iggy Pop and Nick Cave, and Cingl contributing incredible violin and electric guitar work to accompany the acoustic rhythms and give the tracks a full sound. The resulting songs have a great mix of gothic and folk, as Shoenfelt delivers intelligent and memorable lyrics of sorrow, love, life, and death. This is the type of performance best heard live, and "Live At the House of Sin" is recorded cleanly and the product sounds great. "Saviour's Day" begins with clean acoustic and violin work, then moves into a sorrowful violin progression that perfectly matches the sadness of Shoenfelt's lyrics of lost love. "Shivers Inside" features electric and acoustic guitar work, and is an incredible, slow and lyrical love song from Shoenfelt. "Hospital" is another great violin and acoustic collaboration that creates a beautiful harmonic sound and features more great lyrics from Shoenfelt. "Live At the House of Sin" is a great album, beautifully arranged, and thought-provoking from a couple of talented musicians with a lot of street cred. Fans of goth, folk, and the likes of Iggy Pop and Nick Cave should definitely pick this one up.

RadioIndy is pleased to present Spinous with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Searching For You"

RadioIndy is pleased to present Spinous with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Searching For You"

"Searching For You" is the impressive debut from UK multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Spinous. This album is filled with ten catchy and groovy pop songs that draw from rock, funk, and r&b. With the exception of some of the drum and bass work, Spinous composed and performed all of the arrangements on this release, showing his skill both in layering and arranging. Spinous gives a strong vocal performance that sounds somewhere between Sting, Seal, and Prince. The songs are catchy and melodic, with great toe-tapping beats and meaningful, memorable lyrics. Spinous also self-produced "Searching For You," and it sounds great, his full vision fulfilled. "All I Need Is Time" begins with a nice drumbeat and keyboard work, then builds to incorporate a groovy guitar line and moves into great lyrical verse. "All The Things" is an incredibly poppy song with an energetic drumbeat, refined keyboard progressions and solos, more great lyrics, and a catchy chorus. Overall, "Searching For You" is a great debut from Spinous, with great groovy tracks that'll simultaneously make you want to move and sing along. Fans of groovy pop with rock, r&b, and funk influences should check Spinous out.

RadioIndy is pleased to present B. Keyler with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Seven Stars"

"Seven Stars" is an energetic four-song rock EP from Norwegian singer/songwriter B. Keyler. B. Keyler brings great vocal styling to the table with an impressive range, a strong voice, and an original delivery reminiscent of KT Tunstall and the cutesy European vocals of Regina Spektor. "Seven Stars" has four great rock arrangements with melodic and rhythmic tones, nice guitar work, and solos to boot. This EP was self-produced, giving B. Keyler the freedom to perfect her sound, and she succeeds. "It's Who I Am" features a nice arrangement with great acoustic and electric layering and an excellent vocal performance in which B. Keyler is really displays a great amount of passion in her delivery. "I Wish" is a more lyrical track, but it also has a nice arrangement, slick reggae guitar work and a great Spektor-esque vocal delivery. Overall, "Seven Stars" is an impressive showing from a great female vocalist that leaves the listener eager to hear what she'll do next. Fans of rhythmic modern rock and original female vocal styling should look into B. Keyler.

RadioIndy is pleased to present JD with a GrIndie Award for the CD "One Way Road"

RadioIndy is pleased to present JD with a GrIndie Award for the CD "One Way Road"

"One Way Road" is the impressive solo alternative rock debut from UK artist JD that features rocking arrangements and poppy vocals. JD is musician David O'Flynn, and he's got a vocal range that sells and is reminiscent of Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is…, and the now-defunct Stars Hide Fire. Musically, JD veers away from this comparison with darker alternative rock arrangements rather than pop punk, in turn creating something original. The songs are upbeat and melodic, and you'll find yourself singing along in no time. "One Way Road" is well-produced, sounds clean and is ready for the mainstream. "When Lovers Attack" opens with some excellent drum and guitar work, maintained as a motif throughout, and is an upbeat track with a catchy chorus. "Something About Your Tears" is a love song with catchy lyrics and great vocal layering, featuring more nice guitar and drum work. Overall, "One Way Road" is an impressive solo debut from JD that, through poppy vocals and great alternative rock arrangements, could very well be his breakthrough. Fans of alternative rock and Fall Out Boy-esque vocal performances should pick this one up.
