It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown for Oct 13, 2018! Gang! Sorry, I missed the Top 3 last week. I was in London and the internet was crap where I was staying. So, sorry about that. But we’re back today with a killer lineup of fab new tunes.
First up today is a60s Beat, Mod, Rock band from Umeå, Sweden. and they call themselves The Most. Today we feature their latest video and it rocks! This song is from the album “The Most – Auto-Destructive Art.”

Next up at #2 are a Hollywood rock band called the Crazy Squeeze who were introduced to us by Hollywood party girl-extraordinaire, Asia Muka. The Crazy Squeeze have gotten some rave reviews! Art Ettinger at Razorcake Mag writes, “I don’t know if it’s appropriate to call something this sleazy a “class act,” but that’s precisely what it is.”

At #1 is a new band that was turned onto us by Kona Cindy! They are a trio from Los Angeles and they call themselves the Living Roomers and this is their second time on the countdown! Their bio states: “The Living Roomers started in the living room of the band’s home in the Mid City of LA in late 2017. Comprised of Tru, Lucky and Rico, the Roomers are influenced by the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the White Stripes, Joy Division and Courtney Barnett among many others.”

And he is the creator and founder of the Mt. Fuji – Atami Film & VR Festival.
