About This Blog

 I'm a guy who loves listening to music and discovering new artists. There are so many great bands and musicians out there who do not have a large following or high streaming numbers, and I especially love digging into these artists to find out more about them as well as find any side projects any band members may be involved in.

Oftentimes these artists do not have much written about them online. I realized I would love to read others' thoughts on some of these artists and albums, so I made this blog for people like me who also feel that way and may stumble across my thoughts on an album or band they just discovered. I would also love to be able to introduce others to the music I'm finding and enjoying. 

I'll just be writing about music that I like, that doesn't already have a lot written about it, for my own enjoyment, for the benefit of listeners, and to promote the artists (if anyone actually reads this). I won't be reviewing albums, but just sharing thoughts on music I like. Many of these artists are from overseas (I'm in the U.S.), which is why it's harder for me to find info in English on them, but there are no strict criteria on the artists I choose to write about, other than what I already stated above. 

Feel free to leave comments or email me with any suggestions I should check out at sneakybeavermusic@gmail.com !


Happy Listening!

PHOON - The Hong Kong Band's 2019 EP is an Indie Rock Hidden Gem

Image
              PHOON - Phoon (EP) I first discovered PHOON on Youtube, through their song "You!", which was the only song they had released at the time. I was immediately drawn in by the catchy vocal melodies and the interplay between the electric guitar and keyboard. I listened to their first (and as of yet, only) EP as soon as it was released in 2019, and it has been frequently in my rotation ever since. PHOON is, or was, a four member band from Hong Kong, that seems to be inactive according to a recent comment from vocalist Lili Forest on his Instagram post about how the song "You!" hit 1 million streams on Spotify. His comment from September 2023 reads: "we are basically disbanded now hahaha lets see how things go in the future" so I guess there is a sliver of hope that they may reunite, but in all likelihood, this EP will continue to be the only release from PHOON. Lili Forest has released a few solo songs under that name though, which are wor...

Coral Zero - Windwalker EP: An Instrumental Daydream

Image
  Coral Zero is the solo instrumental project from Lauren Chang, or oh_lorn on Instagram and TikTok. TikTok is where I first came across Lauren's music, where she posts mostly melodic and tranquil math-rock inspired riffs. Her guitar playing is excellent and the snippets shared on TikTok and Instagram always had me hoping for a full release, so I was excited to hear that she released her first EP 'Windwalker' under the name Coral Zero a few weeks ago. 'Windwalker' is a short EP - coming in at less than 10 minutes long, it feels like a quick breath of fresh air. The title could not be more fitting either, as each note feels like it's bouncing on the wind. Genre-wise, this would probably be classified as math-rock, and although math-rock style guitar is at it's foundation, there is a lot more electronic production and a lot less 'rock' than in most other music of the genre.  In oh_lorn's oldest TikTok post, she wrote that her goal is to "make ...

Broken Head - Sungazer EP: Massachusetts Alternative-Rock with a Tinge of 90's Shoegaze

Image
Broken Head is a Massachusetts based alternative-rock band that has released two EPs and a couple of singles since 2020. The blurb on their record label's website lists 90's shoegaze bands Catherine Wheel and Swervedriver as major influences, which can definitely be heard especially when listening to everything that was released after the Sungazer EP. Having never really listened to either of those bands, my first reaction when hearing Broken Head's first single 'Rinse' was that it reminded me a little of Balance and Composure.  Founding members and dual vocalists Rob Hooper and Alessio Tranchell both come from the punk scene (hardcore and pop-punk respectively), and while Sungazer stylistically fits much more into alternative-rock, there are elements, especially in the vocals, that are reminiscent of punk at times.  I chose to write about Sungazer specifically even though it is their first EP because it is my favorite Broken Head release so far. Everything released...
