A friend asked me the other day what my favorite new Indie Rock songs were for Summer 2014. I struggled with an answer because, much like the pop music genre, I don’t think a song or album has truly bubbled to the top this year. Not to get all down on you as this Mixcast has some really solid tunes. I just find it telling that nothing original is giving me goosebumps this summer.
