Top 3 Indies Artist Videos for Jan 29, 2017! Pint Shot Riot, Lola Dutronic, David & the Curse, Molice (Japan!)

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of Jan. 22, 2017!

At #3 is Pint Shot Riot. Pint Shot Riot are an indie rock band from Coventry, England. They have just completed several songs for the soundtrack of a film entitled, “The Trailer.” It’s a film about two brothers trying to break into Hollywood and they make the best movie trailer in cinematic history… One tiny problem, they are left with six dead bodies!… I hate it when that happens! Here’s their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pintshotriot/

#3) Pint Shot Riot –  ‘Starting to Fly’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgT9FYasoQU

At #2 is a new artist from Los Angeles named David and the Curse. They are a new artist but I think this is at least their second time on the countdown. Figueroa Street is about the homeless in Los Angeles. Here’s the FB page for David & the Curse: https://www.facebook.com/davidandthecurse/

#2) David and The Curse – Figueroa Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrgYkNDysPs

At #1 we have something hot off the presses. I just got this this morning and so, maybe, this is a world debut. The artist is Lola Dutronic. And here is a remake of a song that I thought was “Song of the Year” in 2012 and should have been a monster hit as I put it in the Top 3 for all of 2012! Check it out. This is hot. Here is their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LOLA-DUTRONIC-80232595392/
