“Nashville” 

by Parmy Dhillon

Parmy Dhillon’s “Nashville” is one of the best alt-country tracks I’ve heard in a long time. Having said that, it’s not exactly country music. The chord sequence alone is far more complex than most practioners of that genre would ever go for and the same can be said about the melody and the lyrics. I’d like to think of “Nashville” as “country-flavoured indie rock”.

Having said that, whatever the genre of the track, one thing's for sure … everything here works. "Nashville" showcases great vocals and great guitars that rest on a beautiful Stones-like arrangement. It’s something that would have fit well on Keef and the company’s seminal albums from the Jimmy Miller era.

“Nashville” is a brilliant offering that is sure to entice anyone who enjoys melodic indie pop-rock and/or innovative alt country. Love it!

“C.Esp” 

by Highroad No. 28

Australia’s Highroad No. 28 delivers a stellar new single that reawakens the magic of the 90s, reminding us of an era when music wasn’t made with cookie-cutter mentality. It’s a strong offering: melodic, poetic, adventurous and bold.

While the track features frontman Andrew JC on everything, it sounds like a band effort. The vocals are fantastic and the arrangement’s exciting. It’s a record full of ear candy and compelling hooks. Only mentioning this because being your own band isn't really all that easy. Instead of four or five minds to draw from you only have one. But I guess one's enough when you know what you are doing.

“C.Esp” has talent and the kind of professionalism that comes from decades of dedication to music written all over it. Whoever is into the 90s or just loves quality pop-rock should check out “C.Esp”. It’s really very, very good. And while you are at it, give Andrew's new album “The Will To Endure” a spin as well. It’s pretty damn good, too.
