We’re going across the pond this week for our Download of the Week artist! Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, the electro-infused music of Jenny Wilson brilliantly mixes piano and electro beats with her rhythmic R&B vocals. Her single, “Like a Fading Rainbow,” promises to impress music lovers everywhere. Enjoy!
That’s right ladies & gents, our current favorite and Download of the Week, The Soft Pack will be playing the Sunday date of this years Coachella. Don’t miss your chance to see these kids play live.

If you’ve never heard of them, download our free download this week to get a taste! I promise you it’s worth it!
Bio: The Federals are a force to be reckoned with we reckon. “Take It From Me” is a rough edgy anthem in the making! Proper thrashy, rowdy, fuzziness. The earliest brattishness of The Who dragged helplessly kicking & screaming into the 21st Century!
