Knabokov Collective – Borderline: Chaos at the Border
The Knabokov Collective, spearheaded by the fierce Patrick Costello, isn’t here to serenade you to sleep. Hell no. They’re here to grab you by the collar with their re-released powerhouse, “Borderline: Chaos at the Border.” At the front of this sonic assault is Patrick Costello. His voice is the command centre—powerful, intense, and utterly controlled, delivering […]
ReeToxA – Insta Life Donna
ReeToxA is lobbing a grenade right into the polite silence of the modern alternative scene. “Insta Life Donna,” a standout hidden gem from their debut album Pines Salad, is raw, personal fury into a track that’s irresistibly catchy and brutally honest. This thing has synth, pounding drums, and great guitar/bass. But that description doesn’t do justice to the […]
Pisgah – Faultlines
“Faultlines,” the sophomore album from London-based Pisgah, is a controlled demolition. This is the moment where Brittney Jenkins, the singular force behind the moniker, plugs her Southern Gothic soul directly into a Marshall stack and lets the feedback of a fractured life roar. Jenkins, a Southern American export who’s called Greater London home since 2015, […]
Wuzy Bambussy – Little Lion
The West Country’s best-kept secret, Wuzy Bambussy, just dropped a face-melter. “Little Lion,” the lead single from their impending debut LP The Ghost & The Rhythm, is perfect. Nikolai Jones, the architect behind the boards, builds a track that’s all muscle and shadow. Forget quaint nostalgia; this is a driving, pulsating rhythm section that feels like a […]
Pesky Kid – Holy Light
Pesky Kid just dropped “Holy Light,” and if you think this is just another gentle alt-indie sigh, you’re not listening hard enough. This track is the kind that fuels the best rock—wrapping a fist of real emotion in a velvet glove of lush sound. It’s bittersweet, it’s self-aware, and it’s got more layers than a stadium […]
The Silver Arrow Collective – The Silver Arrow Collective
The Silver Arrow Collective just dropped a nine-track rocket sled built from pedal steel, existential grit, and the kind of guitars that smolder long after the needle lifts. Forget what you think “alt-country” is—“The Silver Arrow Collective” takes that label, chews it up, and spits it out as something sleeker, wilder, and pointed straight at the heart […]
Moon Construction Kit – Chemicals
From the shadowy depths of Lausanne comes a one-man audio assault that’s about to hijack your speakers and your nervous system. Moon Construction Kit, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist warlock Olivier Cornu, is dropping “Chemicals” on December 5, and it’s a punch of pure, uncut “Power-Goth-Pop.” Olivier Cornu is the singer, the writer, the guitarist, the […]
Blindness & Light – Fly Paper
Blindness & Light just dropped “Fly Paper,” a gnarly, retro-fueled garage-punk rager. This is the track of a band—or more accurately, a fiercely independent collective—plugging in, turning up, and directing the revolutionary spirit of the ’60s Nuggets compilations straight into the modern era. It’s a dysfunctional love song for a dysfunctional world, and it’s absolutely brilliant. […]
West Wickhams – Sakura
The wait is over, and the noise is here. West Wickhams, the self-proclaimed “psychedelique Noir Deux piece,” have just dropped “Sakura,” a five-track firecracker of an EP that’s as intellectually sharp as it is raw. A limited edition CD EP with a unique Obi strip? In 2025? That’s chivalry right there, a middle finger to […]
Nick Neumann – Our Time Starts Now
Just when you thought guitar-driven rock had been polished into submission by algorithm-chasing trends, a lone wolf from Grand Rapids, Michigan, emerges from the shadows to drop unadulterated rage and resolve. Nick Neumann is taking your attention by force with his latest single, “Our Time Starts Now.” This guy is the real, independent deal. The […]
Fierbinteanu – Merrymaking
Let’s talk about this new slab of digital defiance from Fierbinteanu. Their latest cut, “Merrymaking“, is a neon-lit, synth-powered bulldozer aimed squarely at the ivory towers. First off, let’s meet the architects of this beautiful noise. Fierbinteanu is the brainchild of Gabriela and Cristian Fierbinteanu. These two aren’t messing around in a basement; they’re seasoned […]
TwentySixth Soul – You Couldn’t
Sometimes, the most seismic riffs are the ones that move beneath the surface, and the most explosive confessions are delivered in a whisper. Enter TwentySixth Soul, the brainchild of Saudi Arabian artist Mohammed, and his track “You Couldn’t”. Mohammed is the sole architect here, writing and producing everything himself, making his sound in the emotional crucible […]
