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 […]
ReeToxA – Amber
Listen up, you beautiful noise addicts! If you think genuine rock ‘n’ roll is a relic of the past, ReeToxA is here to shatter that illusion with a sledgehammer called “Amber.” This is an artifact, a piece of soul excavated from 1995 and injected with modern adrenaline. This is the first song Jason McKee ever penned, and […]
Charlie Uffelman – All The Same
In a world with over-produced, algorithm-friendly slop, Charlie Uffelman comes through like a breath of fresh, Vermont-cabin air. We’re here to talk about “All The Same,” a standout cut from his sophomore album, ‘All The Light We Dim,’ and let us tell you, this isn’t another folk ditty. First, you need to know the pedigree. […]
Pointe – Guard Rails
Brisbane just coughed up a monster, and its name is Pointe. Forget your polite introductions, this band isn’t knocking on the door; they’re kicking it in with their debut single, “Guard Rails“. This is a three-minute slab of moody, articulate art-rock that hits with the force of a sledgehammer wrapped in velvet. “Guard Rails” is a […]
Wotts – he spoke with conviction
Canadian duo Wotts just dropped “he spoke with conviction”, a fuzz-drenched, synth-soaked beast that shows them plugging directly into the mains of unease and filtering it through a wall of vintage amps. The engine behind this machine is Jayem, the band’s vocalist and multi-instrumentalist freak of nature who produced this bad boy. The man says […]
Bog Witch – Mr. Fly
Listen up, greaseballs and gearheads! If you think rock ‘n’ roll has lost its sense of dangerous, dumb-fun swag, then you haven’t been baptized in the murky waters of Bog Witch. Their latest single, “Mr. Fly“, is a buzzing, fuzzed-out punch that’s here to wake up the dead and annoy the living. Slamming into the world […]
Every Other Weekend – Come Back (When You Feel Like)
Every Other Weekend isn’t just another name on the endless scroll of new artists. This is the sound of a phoenix rising from the ashes. The brainchild of Chris Bull, the former frontman of Manchester’s indie-rock outfit City Reign, this project marks his first release in nearly a decade, and the lead single, “Come Back (When You Feel […]
Piranha Piranha – Fire Eye
Piranha Piranha are kicking the damn door down with a lit fuse and a mortar explosion. Their first single, “Fire Eye”, goes into the deep end of spiritual rock, and it’s clear from the first second that this isn’t your average garage band rehearsal tape. Hailing from Akron, a city with a storied heartbeat, the duo of […]
Ani Even – SKINWALKER
Forget what you think you know about experimental electronic music. Forget the polite, chin-stroking stuff you hear in art galleries. “SKINWALKER,” the debut album from Copenhagen’s anarchist Ani Even, is a rock record for the post-everything age. It might be built on synths and fractured choirs, but its spirit is pure resistance. The mastermind here […]
Ceyeo – Together They Were Nothing
If you’re hunting for an album that shakes you senseless, and then leaves you weirdly wanting more, you’ve just found it. Ceyeo‘s latest offering, “Together They Were Nothing”, is the third act from the Chicago-based songwriter, vocalist, and producer, and it’s a deliberate, searing pivot. Unlike the hope and optimism of 2023’s ‘Baby I Care’, this release is […]
