Well we're coming to the final few weeks of the Weebly hosted version of Kata Rokkar. I'll fill everyone in on the details once I figure everything out. More to come...
I digress. Anyway, this months Unsigned Artists are quite unique in their own right. First up is Sumkid; a LA MC with a P.O.S./Doomtree-like flow. His new song "Chuck Norris on Drugs" is a list of modern day issues that probably won't wind up on Chuck Norris' list of awesomeness. However, the song itself is summer song worthy while still sounding sharp and witty.

Not many singer-songwriters can capture Dylan-like storytelling and song structure quite like Amadeo L. Gauthier. His haunting yet folkish sound can make the listener comfortable while still keeping the song ugly and gritty. His latest song, "Going To Baton Rouge" sounds very similar to Iron & Wine's latest record (particularly the song "Boy With A Coin"). But don't let that doubt Amadeo's ability to create his own individual sound. Just have a listen and let him take you on a trip...

Under Electric Light sounds like something you'd listen to in a submarine. Don't ask me what I mean by that but that's the first thing that popped in my head when I heard that track, "Your Rainy Days" by the Montreal based band. By mixing the sophisticated instrumentation and arrangements of 80s and modern pop, and infusing it with percussion and synthesizer more akin to electronica, Under Electric Light have achieved a refreshing combination that will keep the listener coming back for more.
