Blak Lyons - Upper State
Shades of that good old rock music and some satisfyingly raucous guitar textures in Upper State, from Bygones - the debut LP by Blak Lyons. The band was formed in 2009 by cousins Ezequiel de Lima (guitar) and Diego Antonelli (bass), along with Tomás Giambruni (vocals and rhythm guitar) and Francisco Bianchi (drums) in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Velcro Mary - Whatever Helps You Sleep at Night
Laid-back slackering from Velcro Mary. According to “ANONYMOUS INTERNET LISTENERS WHO SUCK AT GRAMMAR AND SPELLING”:
The lyrics are a minutely drowning in the hipster vibe, but apart from that it is very good. I like the song as a general party/rock song. I think it is a song ill listen to when dirinking half a bottle of whiskey.
Whatever Helps You Sleep at Night is taken from the forthcoming album Static Canyon Echoes, due out early 2015.
