Beard Jams: feel good. by skeptics

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Musicbeards

Back at it again with a fresh jam out of the Philippines from a producer known as skeptics. This track is entitled feel good and it’s off of his latest album Summer Bliss. 

As the track name and the album name suggests, I felt good listening to this and it reminded me of sitting on a bench in a park in the summer time. The bird sounds in the beginning really help set up the mood of this track.

This track remains light and focuses on repetition for the duration of the track. There are subtle changes that help keep the track fresh and flowing. I loved the repetition in this track and it didn’t bother me at all. I also really love the simple beat paired with the piano. Makes me think this song should be used in a Casey Neistat film. (And I love Casey Neistat btw)

Support this artist and buy the album and share with your friends. skeptics made this album a name your price album but it’s worth every cent you’re willing to put towards it. Great job.

Beard Jams: Palm Trees by SWMRS

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Shmalerie
SWMRS is a punk rock band from Oakland, California. Their album Drive North was released  just a few weeks ago and they have recently posted multiple shows that they will be performing this year. Be sure to check out the links below if you like what you hear.
Overall it’s a good album, but the tracks that are most memorable for me include Figuring It Out, Palm Trees, D’You Have a Car? and Ruining My Pretending. There’s a lot of fast paced drumming, screaming, and rebellion in these songs. From cursing out all of the places the band hates in LA on the first track, to the screaming breakdown in Palm Trees, the album holds up to being a dope punk rock album. Fun fact: Bille Joe Armstrong’s son, Joseph, is the drummer!
They’ll be joining All Time Low this summer at the Central Park Summer Stage on July 31st! You can check out SWMRS at the links below for more tour dates and music updates.

Beard Jams: It Must Be Hard to Be a Bird in the City by Jack Romanov

Posted on February 24, 2017 by reviewsbyalterego


Formed in 2012 after meeting at Suffolk University, Jack Romanov is a four-piece band based out of Boston, Massachusetts. Their recently released EP, The Smoking Room Sessions: I parallels the style of popular indie rock bands Young The Giant and Foster The People. Electronically enhanced vocals over braided reverberate guitar melodies create a dark catchiness, while also incorporating a delectable combination of continuity and intensity. With two full length albums and a hand full of music videos already released, it won’t be long before these up-and-comers make it big in the indie music world.

Beard Jams: Tour by The Courtneys

Posted on February 21, 2017 by Musicbeards

All you need in life is music, am I right? (I wish.) Todays great find comes from a band that goes by The Courtneys. This one’s entitled Tour. 

I love the tone of this song. The lyrics feel like I’m taking advice from a best friend or older sibling. There’s something in this song that just makes me feel better after listening to it.

The guitars are fuzzy, the vocals are glistening, and my heart feels happy listening to this song.

Support this band any way you can! They are embarking on a North American Tour starting in March! See the dates on their bandcamp page: thecourtneys.bandcamp.com

Beard Jams: Cold by Beloved Elk

Posted on February 20, 2017 by Musicbeards

Wow. It’s been a really long time. We’re back though and kicking things off with some great new music out of Australia from a duo known as Beloved Elk. This is their song Cold off of their latest album Distractions. 

I love how much sound comes from this duo. When I first listened to the song, I actually assumed it was a full band. My bad. It’s interesting to me though that there is a common theme that makes the song, but there are little moments that make it feel like it’s always changing. It’s a pleasure to listen to.

What does this remind me of? Imagine a blend of Circa Survive, Brand New, and Cub Sport. It’s wonderful! Buy, stream and share it!

Beard Jams: Of A Time by Dianas

Posted on September 9, 2015 by Musicbeards

Who’s ready for some wonderful indie/surf pop? (Raises hand.) I present to you Of A Time from Dianas off of their self titled LP. 

There are so many cool moments in this song, it’s hard to pick one to talk about. The opening is a fantastic groove that eagerly leads us to the rest of the song. The singers have awesome harmonies in this song that literately feel like a dream. So smooth and so addicting.

The way the drums play with the guitar is simply amazing. While each part is independent, they flourish and thrive by creating a wonderful song together. This song is truly addicting and I’m sure I’ll be listening to this long after I finish this post.

For more of Dianas, check them out at the following links! Their latest self-titled LP is available now!

Beard Jams: Everything At Once by Her Magic Wand

Posted on September 8, 2015 by Musicbeards

Check out this lovely indie pop song from Her Magic Wand entitled Everything At Once off of their latest Blossom EP.

I love the synths in the beginning. It’s a whirlwind of synth grooves and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I was not expecting the transition at first into an energetic indie rock song, but it really works wonderfully. The way the synth section and the indie rock section meld together is wonderful and will please a lot of music listeners.

Beard Jams: Shine by Lord Akton

Posted on September 7, 2015 by Musicbeards

Starting off my day impressed with this song from Lord Akton entitled Shine off of the latest album Old Future Worlds. 

This song is so mysterious and flowing and I love it. The samples and synths are just so magical in this song it creates this wonderful creative imagination for me. It’s the perfect song to chill to (Netflix & Chill?) or groove to. Either way, it’s really a delight to listen to.

I had a chance to listen through the album as well, and all of the songs are just as spectacular. Really, one of the best instrumental electronic albums I’ve heard in a while.

Beard Jams: Now Or Never by Atomic Tom

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Musicbeards

Your latest happy surprise musical find comes from Atomic Tom with their song Now Or Never off of their latest album Era.

This song is so cool. There are so many moments in this song where I went “I like that.” or “That was cool.” The intro is lovely and sets up the song very well. At first, I was not expecting the uptempo indie rock transition into the chorus, but I loved it.

This song has so much energy in every aspect in the song. The intro was catchy enough for me for that to be the whole song. Combined with everything else, you have a very dynamic song that is fun, electric, and entertaining. Definitely a song I can’t stop listening to over and over again.

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Musicbeards

I’m not even going to set up this song because it’s awesome without me having to say anything. I present to you, Addicted from Iman Omari

This beat is so dope! It’s a great beat that feels unique. I feel like it’s a nice blend between older and newer sounds. It sounds fresh and original while still feeling like it’s something we could have picked up in the past.

Check out the rest of Iman Omari’s songs over on Fresh Selects bandcamp! (www.freshselects.bandcamp.com) Until next time, have fun and stay safe everyone!

Beard Jams: Growing Easy by Jon Walker

Posted on September 4, 2015 by Musicbeards

What’s going on everyone! Waking up is a little easier when you’ve got some awesome music, right? Right. Listen to this tasty jam we’ve got from Jon Walker entitled Growing Easy.

This song is so peaceful and wonderful. I can’t get enough of the guitar in this song. It literately feels like something the Earth would wake up to. Like, this is the Sun’s morning jam.

Okay, not really. But this song is pretty great. It’s one of those songs I want to listen to on repeat to feel better about any and everything. It’s wonderful.

This comes off of the Real Life EP which you can check out and support if you’re into it! Until next time, have fun and stay safe everyone!

Beard Jams: Something Soon by Car Seat Headrest

Posted on September 3, 2015 by Musicbeards

What’s going on, everyone? You’ve got to check out this song from Car Seat Headrest entitled Something Soon off of their upcoming album Teens Of Style. I’m super into it right now.

This song is a song where the more I listen to it, the more I like it. Even on the first listen through, I liked it at the end more than I did at the beginning. It has a delightful dose of anxiety in the song and I love it. I love the emotion throughout the song as well. Reminds me of a love child between Skaters, The Strokes, and The Drums.

Teens Of Style comes out October 30th. Until then, pre-order the album or buy the single on their bandcamp. (www.carseatheadrest.bandcamp.com) Follow Car Seat Head Rest on Facebook and the like (All on the bandcamp.)

Until next time, have fun and stay safe everyone!

Beard Jams: Waiting Room by Ace Enders

Posted on September 3, 2015 by Musicbeards

Summer is slowly starting to fade away. That is, unless you live in the Northeast of the United States. There’s been a stretch of hot weather here. Suppose it’s summer’s last push to keep going. Enjoy the remainder of your summer (Or welcome Spring, Australia.) with Waiting Room by Ace Enders.

There’s a nice, easy and refreshing feeling to this song. It has a nice alternative, pop sound to it with hints of alternative rock sprinkled in. My favorite part of the song is the raw, gritty, and emotional lyrics after the second to last chorus.

It’s a nice listen any time of the day, but I recommend throwing this in your morning jams, playlists, etc. I don’t know why, but this song seems almost perfect for the changing of seasons.

Listen, share, and support! For more of Ace Enders, check out these fine links.

Quick note: Facebook is listed as I Can Make a Mess (Official) and I’m confused. Name change soon? Or working under two names? I don’t mind, just a little confused as I listen to the music.

Posted on August 30, 2015 by Musicbeards

Mr. Musicbeard here. I can’t stop listening to this song entitled Joints from a band known as Wot Gorilla?

This is seriously just so good, nothing I say will top it. You just have to listen to it and check it out! This one is for fans of Math Rock/Indie Rock/ and Prog Rock. Reminds me of a cool mix of Circa Survive, Brand New, and Periphery.

Beard Jams: Astoria/Fallen by Mesita

Posted on August 30, 2015 by Musicbeards

What’s going on everyone? Mr. Musicbeard here. Got a sweet track to share with you entitled Astoria/Fallen by an artist named Mesita.

This song is instantly putting me in a good mood. It’s nothing but great grooves, beats, and indie rock magic. It reminds me a lot of TV On The Radio. It’s also worth noting that the first time I heard this track and artist, I thought they were a band. Apparently it’s a solo project! It’s definitely one of the best solo projects I have ever heard of.

This song is also very dynamic; there are a lot of layers to it. You can definitely listen to this song over and over again and be entertained every time you hear it. It’s also definitely one of those tracks where I hear something different each time I listen to it.

Check out more of their music here:

Beard Jams: Slow Dark Water by Furnsss

Posted on June 4, 2015 by Musicbeards

We’re enjoying this indie rock jam entitled Slow Dark Water from a band named Furnsss! Furnsss comes from Burlington, CT!

I like the overall feeling of this song. There are some really cool interludes that have a beautiful lo-fi quality to them. The noise of the interludes wraps you up and immerses you in the song and it’s great. All of the parts in this song help to compliment each other to create a pretty cool song.

At first, this song reminds me a little bit of Weezer mixed with Cage the Elephant, and a touch of Jeff the Brotherhood and Skaters (The band. Not actual people who skate.)

Overall, a really solid track I’m happy to share with you all. Slow Dark Water is off of their upcoming release entitled New Moves which is set for release on August 15, 2015 on the label 80N7.

Check out the links below, share this post if you enjoyed the song and until next time, have fun and stay safe! ~DL

Beard Jams: Kingbreaker by Doktra

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Musicbeards

Awesome indie rock song alert! You’ve got to check out Kingbreaker from a band named Doktra. Doktra comes from Indianapolis, Indiana!

There’s just something about a great guitar riff paired with an energized drum pattern that gets me every time! There is so much energy in this song. If you’re a fan of indie or alternative rock, this song has got a little bit of everything for everyone. There are lighter moments for the indie rock fans, with heavier riffs for the alternative rock fans.

This song reminds me of Deftones mixed with Nada Surf. I also feel like it would go well with Manchester Orchestra and Motion City Soundtrack as well. Despite my comparisons, this song stands by itself as a great and fun song to listen to.

This song is off of their latest release entitled S/T and is available as a pay what you want album on Bandcamp. Definitely check this one out! Links below. Until next time, have fun and stay safe! ~DL

Beard Jams: Boketto by WMD

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Musicbeards

What’s going on everyone?! If you’re just waking up or need to relax, you’ve got to check out this song. It’s entitled Boketto and it’s by an artist known as WMD. WMD comes from Seattle, Washington!

Before we get to the song, the word Boketto is a Japanese word that has a loose English translation. The idea is that Boketto loosely means staring into or at something without any thoughts going on. Similar to daydreaming if you will, but with no dreams. If that makes sense. I personally didn’t know what Boketto meant before this song, so i had to share.

Now, on to the song. I believe the title to this song is very fitting. I envision someone sitting on a beach as time passes by and this song is put to a time lapse of the person just sitting there, waiting as time passes by. This song makes me feel really relaxed and happy which is pretty cool.

As I mentioned before, this song would be great to start your day off right or to take some relaxing personal time. Regardless of when you listen to it, make sure you check this out! I’m really digging it. The self titled album, WMD, is available now! ($4 for a full length album?! You can’t beat that.) Links below. Until next time, have fun and stay safe. ~DL

Beard Jams: Take Me Now by The River Monks

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Musicbeards

As I usually say at the beginning of every post, it’s been a long time since I’ve made a post. Life happens, you know? Anyways, I wanted to share this sweet folk track entitled Take Me Now from a band known as The River Monks! The River Monks come from Des Moines, Iowa!

This is a really nice folk track. The guitar part is wonderful. Beautiful notes that cascade down into your ears, tickling every peaceful emotion in your body. Along with the peaceful wave of vocals, this is one of the most relaxing and satisfying tracks I’ve heard in a ling time.

Definitely check them out if you enjoyed this song! Their latest album entitled Home Is The House is out now! It’s only $8 as well. The best $8 you will spend today. You can also check them out on various social media sites. Links below.

Until next time, have fun and stay safe,
