Dead Frog Records has posted 42 new demo reviews online: https://www.deadfrogrecords.com/demos-reviews/
Also new from DFR is an mp3 for "Hard to be in Love" from Paste (SWE): https://www.deadfrogrecords.com/playlist/Paste-Hard_To_Be_In_Love.mp3
The song comes from the band's most recent album "Sequel" which came out on May 31 which they described as "smashing pop album with a taste of summer."

Not only are there two new radio playlists added on the right, but there's also a new album of the month. Koma is a great band that manages to strike the perfect balance between heaviness and melody. Members of The Perishers and Cult of Luna and totally worth checking out. As for the radio stuff, take your pic between some sweet, summer pop tunes, both new and old. Or chill out with a selection of instrumental music, from noisy electronics a la Pan Sonic, to gentle jazz from Tord Gustavsen to epic post-rock from Magyar Posse. Or listen to both - the choice is yours.
