OpCritical – Liar Liar
Holy hell, DC’s punk scene just got a whole lot louder. OpCritical—a band that formed in 2026 specifically to fight the dangers facing our world—has dropped “Liar Liar,” and this thing is an absolute sledgehammer to the face of every corrupt oligarch out there. These guys aren’t messing around. OpCritical is on a mission, releasing their fifth single […]
DADDY DRWG – Black Thread
Cardiff’s own DADDY DRWG is back, and he ain’t here to hold your hand. Richard Proctor, the twisted mind behind this whole beautiful mess, just dropped “Black Thread”– and lemme tell you, this thing is DARK. Like, stare-at-the-ceiling-at-3AM dark. Like, your coffee went cold two hours ago and you didn’t even notice dark. Proctor – who […]
Trophic Cascade – Cool Zep
Holy smokes, Australia’s coastal scene just served up something special. Trophic Cascade—the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Peter Marsh—has dropped “Cool Zep,” and this thing is pure sunshine on vinyl. Marsh is a true one-man wrecking crew, handling every single instrument himself from his home studio in Bulli, New South Wales. We’re talking piano, guitars, bass, congas, live […]
Dave’s Manual – Electrical
Minneapolis rockers Dave’s Manual just dropped a new heater, and this one’s got some serious juice. Their latest cut “Electrical” is everything a Friday night anthem should be. This is the kind of track that makes you wanna pile your buddies into the car, crank the volume until your mirrors shake, and hit the strip […]
Calico Sun – Fields
We’ve got something special cooking out of Connecticut that’s about to blow your speakers wide open. Calico Sun—the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist madman Sam Bahman—just dropped “Fields,” and let me tell you, this thing is a damn journey. Bahman, who’s been tearing up the Boston scene for over a decade as a lead guitarist, decided to say […]
Tether the Star – Degeneration
Seattle’s underground is cooking up something fierce, and Tether the Star is leading the charge with their blistering new single “Degeneration.” This indie-rock/art-pop trio isn’t messing around—they’ve got something to say, and they’re saying it loud. Maëry Lanahan, the band’s powerhouse vocalist, guitarist, and keyboard wizard, is the creative engine behind this track. She also happens to […]
HMRC – Yankee Candle
Holy mother of rock, Newcastle’s underground just got a whole lot darker. HMRC—the twisted brainchild of songwriter Lloyd Holmes—has dropped “Yankee Candle,” and this thing is absolutely unhinged in the best way possible. Holmes, the mastermind behind this whole operation, cooked up this fictional nightmare during a single bout of insomnia. Yeah, you heard that right. […]
The Radio Addicts – Let’s Party Like It’s The 90s
Holy mother of hooks, Bolton’s finest teenage troublemakers are back! The Radio Addicts have dropped “Let’s Party Like It’s The 90s,” and this thing is a shot of pure indie-punk adrenaline straight to the veins. Recorded at The Kaiser Chief’s studio “The Nave” in Leeds and produced by Andy Hawkins—the guy behind Maximo Park, The Pigeon Detectives, […]
Levi Taschuk – A Kiss
You ever been blindsided by a track that starts like a whisper from a haunted jukebox and ends like a train through your chest? That’s “A Kiss” from Levi Taschuk. This 28-year-old out of Salmon Arm, British Columbia—yeah, a small town nobody’s heard of—just dropped a huge banger. Taschuk blends jazz, post-rock, folk, and a […]
Maria Grazia Altea – Don’t do don’t say
Hold up. You came here for a rock review, right? So where’s the distorted guitar? The thundering drums? Yeah, I hear you. But real rock ‘n’ roll isn’t just about cranked amps and broken drumsticks. Sometimes it’s about guts. And Maria Grazia Altea? She’s got guts in spades. “Don’t do don’t say” ain’t a barnburner. […]
Hey Gorgeous – Rocker on a Club Run
Montreal’s own Hey Gorgeous just threw a punch at the fence dividing rockers and ravers. And holy hell, does it land. The track? “Rocker on a Club Run.” The man behind the wheel? Peet Massé—a multidisciplinary artist who somehow found time to snag a master’s in the arts while cooking up this restless, late-night animal. […]
The Pennydrops – Boundary
York, UK. Open mic nights. A chance bump between two songwriters who didn’t know they were about to start a fire. That’s where The Pennydrops were born. J.J. Chamberlain—already a solo cat with miles on him—and Izzy Hartley, fresh back to town after uni. They clicked over a weekend writing session, pumped out “Nightblindness,” and […]
