I still love “The Faithful Heart” by Australian-born and now L.A.-based artist Wons Phreely and his backup band The Horses with all my heart, and so it remains at the top of my chart for a fourth week. Sliding into second place is Green Day‘s “Bobby Sox, while “Arrow” by The Head and The Heart moves up two spots to #3. Moving up five spots to enter the top 10 at #6 is “So Cold” by New Zealand-born and now New York-based Balu Brigada, comprised of brothers Henry and Pierre Beasley. The biggest upward mover is “The Line” by twenty one pilots, jumping six spots to #23. Their beautiful song “Routines in the Night” is also at #10 again this week. The sole debut this week is the wonderful “Who’s a Fraud?” by English alternative pop-rock band Still Traffico, which I reviewed a few weeks ago.

There’s nothing wrong with sticking to something you dig. In fact, in our social media/short attention span driven world, I kind of find it refreshing. Sometimes, I feel I could slow down a little myself rather than listening to one thing and rushing on to the next and “forgetting” what I just heard! Plus, “The Faithful Heart” is a catchy song. So is your new entry “Who’s a Fraud” by Still Traffico. I also like the song’s sound.

I’ve never heard of Balu Brigada before, which is embarrassing, although I guess music is pretty siloed now. I like the guitars.
