The YeahTones fronted by Jake Pinto pours out their "angst toward the world’s injustices" on a roof top in their video, "Believe". Hunnypot Approved. The YeahTones is the tenacious rock ‘n’ roll brainchild of bandleader and frontman Jake Pinto.  Plagued by the typical anger and isolation of a 20 something New Yorker, Jake set aside his pricey jazz education in search of a new more liberating form of expression, enter The YeahTones. On stage The YeahTones explode with punk energy to deliver the straightforward anguish of Jake’s unassuming songwriting. The band makes audiences thrash and scream then hands out a goody bag of catchy riffs and melodies to take home for later. The Brooklyn-based band are supporting their debut record, Eviction Notice, the first presentation of their fearless, unpretentious rock ‘n’ roll.

Today’s video pick is “Keke Taught Me” by eleven-year old dancer, singer, actress Brooklyn Queen.  The kid sensation explains “Beyonce has made me smile, dance and cry and I want fans to feel me the same way, I want to make it clear to young girls that anything is possible if you just follow your dreams.”  This ridiculously catchy tune is a ready-made dance party, just add disco ball!  Catch it while it’s hot! 

Our favorite R&B singer Marcio is back and he's ready to make it rain all over you, with his new single "Rain". After the success of his debut ep 24 which included the hit single "Superman". Marcio went back to the lab and cooked up some more feel good R&B music for us to party to. Check out the 70's backyard party themed music video and let Marcios sweet vocals rain all over you. 

Another Hot Tub favorite with a brand new single and album. We debuted the single on our 4/20 Hunnypot Radio show. Catch them on tour this summer!

WATERBED invites you into their vibrant world, where sing-along melodies bounce atop booming drums, climbing constellations of bubbling synthesizers and noise. producing, writing, composing & designing all within WATERBED, members Chad and Cat create an energy all their own, sonically and visually. They are currently writing their debut album while performing new songs in their energetic live show. Check out their live performance and interview from Hunnypot Radio LIVE #312!
