HueySo many really good #fedivision entries! I'll give some mini reviews of ones that piqued my interest.
#FRAD - Free Radical Zone made some really joyous fuzzy guitartronica. It warms my heart.
#BEER - Into The Thrash has such a huge, professional sound. It's expertly played and produced, though it doesn't have enough of a hook to get my vote.
#LSIS - Immaculate Soul has a great spoken vocal and a tense and very danceable techno backing, Underworld-style. A strong contender.
#BASS - this is very silly.
Native English speaker: You can't rhyme cat, bed, wet and mad!
Die nmi: German akzent is going brrrr!
Under the novelty vocal, though, there's a really solid punk-funk track. I'd like the instrumental version of this.
#QWYR - Many entries are doing the retro thing by sounding like the 1980s, but that's not enough for Qwyrdo: this is more like the 1380s. I love these instruments and harmonies.
#LRRV - another very professional sounding production. It seems immediately familiar, in the way great songs are. So nostalgic. It's like a cross between Moonlight Shadow and Atomic, but definitely its own thing.
#EVIH - This optimistic, dramatic song seems to be a 10-minute post-rock epic in a perfect pop 3:25. Great vocal sound and arrangement.
#FUZZ - kind of a raw sound, but great building energy, excellent vocal, and a catchy tune.
#IPUR - Alt Text really stands out. It's such a compelling vocal performance, it doesn't need anything else. Absolutely stunning.
#PENT - an ear-catching sparse electronic arrangement and a lovely vocal (with avian backing), so warm and cold simultaneously.
#BRST - this is another likely winner in my estimation. It has a story with romance and black magic, and a song that sounds like late 70s Queen if Freddie was a medieval robot girl.
