Kurtis Hoppie has released his new video for the track titled ‘Vegan Burgers’. A unique track featuring Kurtis’ original rap cadence and lyrical phrasing way left of the creativity side, ‘Vegan Burgers’ transcends the rap genre into pop with a killer sense for songwriting proving that a hook can be a monster.
The video is a story with heart and a visual with art and fits perfectly to the beat of the track. A video track for the sound.

Minx Premieres Video for ‘Female Dirtbag’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)
This was something that needed to happen. There simply had to be a vision for the voice. And now that vision is here in the form of Minx’ new video for her stellar track titled ‘Female Dirtbag’. This premiere is simply an honor. After listening to the track last month (review HERE), and talking with her HERE, I realized that some artists were simply meant to be.
‘Female Dirtbag’ is not what you may think by reading just the title. You have to read between the lines. And those lines are clearly drawn with the track by Minx, who draws it with a big stick and keeps it with an even bigger mic. Empowerment can mean many things, but in Minx’ case that definition is written in stone with the simple fact that gender is not a roadblock, but the road itself. You can use that empowerment to define your character and, in turn, let that character define you to others. Beautiful in many ways.
About Minx
Minx’s brand of ‘inclusive feminism’ shines through in her stunning new track ‘Female Dirtbag’, an ode to a powerful breed of women who know what they want and how to get it, as you can see from her Dave Chappelle inspired cover for the single.Sexy, funny lyrics delivered with smooth and sultry aplomb are fast what is giving Minx her name. Produced by Cooler Ruler Divine (Onyx, The Lost Boyz, Sean Price) it’s a perfect pairing as Minx’s love for classic Hip Hop from the ‘Golden Age’ is strong and this is undoubtedly a smooth Boombap banger.

Kids On Bridges – Just Because You Can
Fresh from a support slot with Grammy Award Winner Beck and shows with The Hot 8 Brass Band, Soulwax and Calvin Harris, the Liverpool trio unleash a new single ‘Just Because You Can’.
The track is a heavy pounding Stones groove akin to ‘Undercover of the Night’ with a Gang of Four riffs thrown in for good measure, giving Kids On Bridges a unique sound, one that is so fresh you could eat it!
The band’s versatility has seen them described as somewhere between Mutemath, Two Door Cinema Club , !!! and Daft Punk.
Kids On Bridges are currently heading back over to America where they are going to finish work on a brand new album and have drafted in Eagles of Death Metal bass player Jennie Vee to join them on a number of tracks, along with New Orleans poet Chuck Perkins.
Having previously worked with The Chemical Brothers producer Steve Dub, the new album promises to be a sonic assault!
Although the guys are certainly no strangers to having great guest performances on their releases, the last single ‘Say Ok’ featured New Orleans drumming legend Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters.
The band also found themselves nominated for best Alt video at the Paramount Awards in Hollywood for the single ‘Something in the Water’.2016 saw the band head out to America to perform a sold-out show at The Viper Room after legendary station KROQ picked up the track ‘Walls’, they were also honored to be the UK representatives at last years Special Olympics in LA performing alongside Stevie Wonder.
With excellent performances at Wickerman, Bestival and Ibiza Rocks, the future couldn’t be looking brighter for the Wall of Sound champions!

Paris Street Rebels Release Double Single ‘I Don’t Wanna Die Young’ / ‘Freakshow’ (The Week in #Indie Segment)
Willed into existence in the year 2017, Paris Street Rebels take the best parts of the transatlantic Punk explosion of the 1970s and combine it with towering melodies and 21st-century working class outrage.
The 4 piece hail from the tough mining town of Ballingry, Fife, Scotland. The mines have long shut down and ‘Thatcher’ is still a dirty word, the band looks to music as an escape, an antidote and a means to elevate themselves and others like them from the indignity of a story left untold, a destiny unfulfilled.
Informed and inspired by their own lives and the records that shaped them a pact was formed in between the chord changes and a promise was made.
Beyond the confines of their beginnings, Paris Street Rebels’ ultimate goal is to unite the forgotten people, the misfits, the lost, the persecuted, the afraid and everyone in between.
To give something back to an age where musicians and artists only exist to take. To give the world what it’s been missing ever since Rock ‘n’ Roll lost its teeth.
‘I Don’t Wanna Die Young’ is a meditation on suicide and it’s uncomfortable place within celebrated Rock ’n’ Roll myth, in an age where mental illness is finally losing its stigma and hope is still out of fashion. This is the band’s attempt to put that last part right.
‘Freakshow’ is a schizophrenic anthem penned in desperation. The need to escape to an almost mythical promised land where authenticity trumps artifice and drives the narrative whilst simultaneously realizing that this can only be achieved by changing the place and time you’re in.
Built from old smashed up Punk LPs and broken bottles it’s designed to excite and leave a nasty scar.
Paris Street Rebels are:
Grant ‘G’ Malcolm – Vocals/guitar
Kevin Murphy Jnr – Vocals/guitar
Jordan ‘Jazz’ McLean – Bass/vocals
Cameron ‘Cammy’ Gaudin – DrumsLINKS:
