Three come to mind right now: Las Ruinas - 'Latidos Cósmicos', Nuevos Hobbies - 'Palmeras' and The Ocean Party - 'Beauty Point'.

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 171

While we are in the midst of preparing our best of the year lists (a fun tradition that we couldn't leave you without, right?) and some of you are enjoying a really long weekend, we saved a little time to bring you our new (and probably last of 2017) TOP TEN Jukebox with some 'familiar faces' like Fascinations Grand Chorus, Hideous Towns or Puzzles y Dragones, but also with several discoveries like The Nature Strip or Très Oui. Because being on the last month of the year does not necessarily mean there's no new & good music around! Have a nice day and remember, all songs are available at our Soundcloud. (Join Us!)

The Bloodbuzzed Jukebox Week 170

First day of December! Yes, we are starting that month of the year that people start to think about Christmas, really long lunches and dinners with a lot of food, gifts and winning the lottery....(plus many more 'traditions' and 'compulsory things to do') So, making an effort to avoid all these forthcoming craziness, that's coming to us, we have compiled a new TOP TEN Jukebox full of new discoveries. Only two of the bands, We.ThePigs and Dream Wife, have already appeared at our Jukebox so we encourage you to enjoy the latest 'additions' to our playlist while you arrange the perfect plans for this weekend. And remember, all songs are available at our Soundcloud. (Join Us!)
