Dutch retro-pop band Donna Blue have made a video for Inbetween, the title track from their latest EP: "Sadness and loneliness have found their way into their music, but they have retained the lush arrangements and soft-spoken vocals. It makes the underlying message even more gripping. The mixed emotions reach a peak in the title track, captured in a mix of surf, country and doo-wop."

Waves of Dread: EP II
English indie trio Waves of Dread go for a dense mood on EP II, amalgam of neo-psychedelica, post-punk and shoegaze. amidst all the effects the acoustic Stars stands out, offering a glimpse into their writing process. It's not all dark, but it takes time to digest the actual meaning of the songs. By doing so they are a cut above the bands who look back to the Eighties as their main source of inspiration. Musically they are still searching for their signature sound, which lies within reach and could be in full bloom on the next album.
