Conversation With: QTY And listen to a first taste of the NYC-based duo’s single, “Michael”
New York has always had it’s own sound in music. The Velvet Underground, the Ramones, New York Dolls, and countless other influential bands that’ve paved the road for contemporary artists.

Listen to the Peacers And watch their new video for “Jurgen’s Layout”
Acid rock is maybe my favorite genre. And The Peacers, a four-piece from San Francisco, are seeping in that kaleidoscope swirl of reverb and pulsing riffs and honey-drenched vocals reminiscent of early Blue Cheer and The Electric Prunes.
