The Dollyrots have been very busy bunnies, birthing both literal and musical babies. After an amazingly successful crowd fund through Pledge Music, their fifth album, Barefoot & Pregnant officially releases this Tuesday Feb. 25 on none other than Hunnypot Records. In celebration, they hosted an amazing record release party at The Satellite 2/20/14. Links to purchase the album are below, Here's to another 14 years of pop-punk! Cheers!
A favorite amongst Hunnypotters, The Preatures have treated us with another single off their highly anticipated debut album due out later this year. Following their single Is This How You Feel, Better Than It Ever Could Be is equally as infectiously poppy and just catchy as hell. The video throws you back to the 80's complete with 3D visuals and Space Invaders (the video game). The Preatures will be joining a slew of fellow Australian artists at SXSW as well as Coachella and maybe your local music festival too so keep an eye out.
Named after the area of Toronto where they live, The Beaches are good girls gone great. Proud teen pioneers of the new wave of fem-rock, their sassy, saw-toothed alt-rock songs recall The Strokes, Elastica, The White Stripes, Metric and The Runaways and writhe, snarl and spit the kind of romantic defiance, youth rebellion and peer solidarity that makes these females such a formidable force for rock.
Their single Loner has been gaining a ton of support by alternative radio in Canada as well as Los Angeles. The Video follows the girls through a momentous night out including a live show, hopping fences and a jacuzzi.

Happy Birthday Aquarians! I'm sure you've all been diggin' the new Metronomy track. Well, now you've got the video too. Finally we can put that 5th Dimension song to bed (Age of Aquarius). Why do you guys get all the Astrological Sign pride songs anyway? Because you're all so successful and fun and just all around awesome?! No that just our CEO. His birthday's the 13th. Happy Birthday John Anderson!
The video was directed by award-winning French director Edouard Salier and produced by The Creators Project and Somesuch & Co. It follows space suit wearing Joe Mount to a glowing red planet inhabiting giant hairless cats and women wearing very elaborate headpieces. The new album called Love Letters, out on March 10 through Because Music.

Hunnypot alumni from NYC, Zak Downtown is taking over the rap game. He is creating his own blend of New York style, electric vibes, and hip-hop. The focus on capturing hip-hop and creating a sound divergent from what’s been done or expected is emblematic of the work. He is redefining what it means to be a hip-hop artist. In the coming years, Zak Downtown is definitely someone to watch as his career is just starting and will only continue to flourish. He also killed it at the Hunnypot Radio show a few months back and we can't wait to have him back!
Imagine a voice that possessed the melodic soul of Adele, the acrobatic notes of Celine Dion and the high-energy of Beyoncé – that would be the pitch-perfect fusion of Antonique, the artist.

Her new single is “Hold Up Wait A Minute (Woo Woo)”, don’t miss her special live Hunnypot performance this Monday 1/10/14 at The Mint
Hailing from New York and Los Angeles, by way of Haiti & St. Lucia, NOLA DARLING’s sound is new school fresh, yet old world cool. Tongue-in-cheek sensibility and spit-fire flows mashed-up with sweet and siren-like vocals make Alexandra and Jaquita the girls you want to get to know.
Citing The Fugees, Zap Mama, Tanya Stephens, Steel Pulse, Esthero and Salt ‘N Pepa, among many others as strong influences, Alex and Jaq continue to hone their crafts and unique sound. They have collaborated with an impressive and growing list of artist/producers including: Grammy winners Om’mas Keith (Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu) and Shafiq Hussein (Robert Glasper, Erykah Badu), Tim K (Esthero, Tiny Hearts, Dam Funk), and the legendary Kwame (Mary J Blige, Christina Aguilera, Will Smith).
Nola Darling also collaborated with chart topping Australian group, Yolanda Be Cool on the international smash “Change,” for YBC’s debut album, “Ladies and Mentalmen” (Steve Aoki's DIM MAK Records). “Change” has been in heavy rotation on radio stations from Bali to London, to Australia and beyond. The tune hit #1 on the official Korean EDM chart in May 2013.
The ladies of Nola Darling are currently working on top line for an array of up and coming producers as well as writing for their upcoming releases. Stay tuned for much more to come from Alex and Jaq this year and don't miss them live this Monday 1/13/14 at The Mint when they play our live radio show.
