Blush. – Wrong Answers Only
You want rock? You got rock. Victoria’s own Blush. just raised the amp to eleven and spit out “Wrong Answers Only,” and holy hell, did they turn the amps up. If you caught their last one, “Seasons,” you know that dreamy, slow-burning nostalgia trip. Lovely stuff. But this? This is the moment the band kicks the coffee table over […]
Wotts – ALOHA!
Ottawa, Canada. Indie pop? Sure, slap a label on it if you want. But this track—”ALOHA!“—has got more guts than half the “rock” bands out there right now. Why? Because it’s not about the distortion pedals. It’s about the attitude. Here’s the deal: Wotts just became a solo outfit. His partner Ricky—crazy talented, y’all know—left the project. And […]
The Wheel Workers – Live From The Attic
Too many “live” records these days are polished within an inch of their lives. Autotune this, overdub that—might as well be studio sessions with fake crowd noise slapped on top. But The Wheel Workers? Nah. These Texas fuckin’ rock soldiers went the other way. Way the hell the other way. “Live From The Attic” is exactly what […]
Rock Berg – Let Go!
Forget everything you think you know about indie pop for a second, ’cause Rock Berg just dropped a track called “Let Go!” that hits like a shot of tequila at 2 AM. And yeah, before you ask – she does it all herself. Writing? Her. Producing? Also her. This queer, LA-born badass doesn’t wait for anyone else to turn the knobs […]
Rivermind – Nightlight
You think you’ve heard modern rock? You haven’t heard Rivermind. Not yet. These cats from Thun, Switzerland—two brothers, old friendships, basements full of loud guitars and raw rock sounds—have been cooking this for years. And now? Now they drop “Nightlight,” the third single off their upcoming EP. And holy distortion, this thing breathes. Let me paint the […]
LED – Your Perfect
You think teen pop punk is just bubblegum fluff? LED just proved you dead wrong. This Angeleno trio—Edie Yvonne on vocals and bass, Layne Olivia on vocals and guitar, and Lockett Pentz thrashing the drums—got together on their spring break to write “Your Perfect.” Spring break! Most kids are at the beach. These three were in a room, bleeding […]
Apple Eyes – Freaking Out
Apple Eyes are back from the brink, and “Freaking Out” is the sound of two people who’ve been through the wringer, stared into the void, and decided to crank the amps anyway. Claire and Matthew—because real bands use real names—have nearly twenty years of history baked into every single second of this track. And you can hear it. […]
Mattock – Lil’ Busted Fox
Pull up a barstool. Mattock is a two-piece wrecking crew from Southern Maryland, and they just dropped “Lil’ Busted Fox” on April 27th, 2026. This cut is from their upcoming album Daughters, due early Summer 2026. And let me tell you—these guys have the kind of grit that makes you wanna smash a bottle and start a pit. […]
Daffers – Space Craft Landing
Put down the distortion pedal for one second. I know, I know—you’re here for riffs that peel paint. But sometimes the rock-est thing you can do is say “screw the rules” and mash up sounds that have no damn business being together. Enter Daffers, a solo freak from West Sacramento, United States, who dropped “Space Craft […]
The Shrubs – Let Us In
Listen up, you lo-fi lunatics and psych-rock freaks. The Shrubs just crawled out of Houston, Texas with a track called “Let Us In” that sounds like it was beamed in from a parallel universe where everything is slightly warped and wonderful. And I mean that as the highest compliment. Who are these weirdos? The Shrubs have been kicking around […]
The Danphes – Jacqueline
I know The Danphes call themselves “jangly indie-pop” from Norwich, UK. I know they worship the C86 era and early DIY guitar music. But don’t let that fool you into thinking this is some soft, whispery bedtime nonsense. Nah. “Jacqueline” has teeth. It’s got that scruffy romance, those bright chiming guitars, and a hook that’ll dig into […]
Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends – Bells of Silver
Sometimes the best stuff comes from the strangest names. And let me tell you, Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends is a mouthful, but this solo cat knows exactly what he’s doing. He used to play guitar and sing in the aSwedish band REDMOON. Now, he’s flying solo, and “Bells of Silver” is proof that old souls […]
