Song: “Goodbye Bangkok”

Artist: Zero Hero Feat. Poomjit
Label: Lemon Factory
Zero Hero’s debut album Man Man is pure Thai rock n’ roll, and reminds us of the old band Sip Lor led by Hugo. After releasing the first promo single “Supan,” the fun continues with “Goodbye Bangkok,” which takes a sarcastic look at the craziness of life in Bangkok.

Song: “Honey Bee”

Artist: Paradox /Daydreamer 6.1
Label: Genie Records
After a five-year hiatus since their last release, the pop-rock outfit Paradox is back with their fifth studio album Daydreamer 6.1. As the name suggests, the overall mood and tone of this album will be soft and gentle love songs with smooth, acoustic guitars. Saying that; their third single “Honey Bee” is a fun, 60s-inspired sound that takes us back to hits “Balloon” and “Love.” Daydreamer 6.2 is set to follow soon.

 

Song: “I Want to Tell You”

Artist: Kor Notapol Srichomkwan
Label: Spicydisc
After releasing his first single “Prove Me Wrong” from the album The Workings of the Soul Part 02, Groove Rider’s bassist Kor Notapol Srichomkwan continues this vintage-pop project with “I Want to Tell You,” an easy-listening love song inspired by Paul McCartney’s “Silly Love Song.” Soft vocals, simple, attractive lyrics blend with brass and drums to create a toe-tapping tune.

 

Song: “Long (Lost)”

Artist: Brown Flying
Label: Believe Record
The brand-new American rock-inspired group from Believe Records, launches their debut single entitled “Long (Lost).” The four-man band composed of Diew (vocal and guitar), Note (drums), Na (bass) and Pom (guitar) reminds us of the band Nickelback. The first single brings us hard drum and bass beats, while the lyrics and guitar have a suitably catchy hook.

 

Song: “Stereotype”

Artist: Slur
Label: Smallroom
This final single from their third studio album Boong is about the passion that comes from flirting in a club. Slur sticks with their grungy style but add a lot of synthesized material, which works even if it is quite a shift from the first two albums. Perhaps a result of Pae Arak announcing he was quitting the band. Not to worry, if you’re in love with Slur the band, you’ll be happy to know they’re already working on a new album.

 

Song: “Chiang Mai”

Artist: Tabasco
Label: Lemon Factory
The very Two Door Cinema Club-esque indie-punk band, Tabasco, delivers their third single from their debut album 1984 entitled “Chiang Mai.” The lyrics talk about bad weather and failed love in Bangkok, so they’re moving to Chiang Mai. Still if you ignore the lyrics, the guitar, bass and drums have a great arrangement, which could easily get you into the rock mode and craving for their live performance.
