The Veldt
The Veldt is a band from Raleigh, North Carolina.
They were signed to Capitol Records in 1989 but the label rejected their debut album, Illuminated, and the band didn’t release another one until 1994.
This long lost album was produced by Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins and now the album will finally be available.
The song “The Everlasting Gobstopper” is our first listen.
Thanks to Earl Douglas for the insight.
Indigo De Souza
Indigo De Souza, an indie rock singer-songwriter from Asheville, North Carolina, recently released her 2nd album Any Shape You Take.

The Muslims
As described in their bio, The Muslims is an all-queer black-brown punk band.
Hailing from Durham, North Carolina, they pull no punches on their latest album Gentrified Chicken.
“Punch a Nazi”
Secret Shame
I’m not much for labels but Secret Shame could be termed deathrock or post-punk or simply Goth. The sound is brooding and gloomy which I find compelling.
This quintet out of Asheville, N.C. debuts with their album Dark Synthetics and the song Calm.
Calm
Sylvan Esso
Sylvan Esso is the duo Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn out of Durham, North Carolina.
“Coffee” is the latest song from this intriguing new band.
