Dream Bodies – Dead Air
Dream Bodies, the solo vessel for scene veteran Steven Fleet, is back with “Dead Air,” and it’s a masterpiece of melancholic, witchy darkwave that not only sets a mood—it becomes the mood.

Caleb L’Etoile – Starling
Caleb L’Etoile is diving into the abyss with a cinderblock tied to his boots, and “Starling” is the terrifying, glorious splash. This is the goddamn nucleus, the ground-zero manifesto for his new full-length horror anthology in noise-rock form, PS.

Fire up the tube amps. Dogmile is back in the game, and the new single “Alight” is a hazy riff on what modern rock can be when it’s stripped of pretence and soaked in analogue grit.

Cody Piper – Run Home
Pittsburgh’s one-man Cody Piper is slamming with “Run Home,” a track with a controlled fury you can feel in your bones.

The genius of “Run Home” is that […]
Trashy Annie – Big Red Bow
With Trashy Annie’s new single “Big Red Bow,” the Austin-based outlaw rock outfit delivers a sucker-punch of sound that’s as defiant as it is genre-smashing.

Melting Reeds – Over My Head
Switzerland’s Melting Reeds are back, and their new single, “Over My Head,” is a slow-burn punch that proves rock ‘n’ roll isn’t always about the explosion—sometimes the most powerful force is the tension before the break.

This isn’t a retreat into the past; it’s a full-throated, cinematic raid on […]
Dylan Forshner – It Ain’t So Bad
Dylan Forshner is back with a slab of basement-born rock. “It Ain’t So Bad,” out of Welland, Canada, shows a songwriter finding his footing, his band locking in, and a whole lot of vintage amp noise colliding in the best way possible. Recorded in drummer/producer Joe Labrie’s basement on GarageBand, the track captures the live-wire […]
Myra Keyes – Foam
Myra Keyes’ latest single, “Foam,” is a jolt of energy that proves rock and roll isn’t dead—it’s just been hiding in Chicago, getting smarter and more pissed off. “Foam” is from a songwriter hitting her stride, a track born from the chaotic, beautiful mess of a college sophomore year. Keyes wrote this during those late-night […]
CARUS – Wisch Wisch
CARUS’ debut single, “Wisch Wisch,” is a blast of sonic boldness that enters every room by kicking the door off its hinges. “Wisch Wisch” establishes itself as an act of liberation, a direct and powerful dismissal to the comfortable, sugarcoating lies we’re all fed daily. The title itself, “Wisch Wisch” (Wipe Wipe), is the central […]
