Hallaballoo – Gravity

Hallaballoo have been at this for a while. The Minneapolis crew started as friends jamming in basements back in the early 2000s. No grand plan, but a bunch of people who liked playing together. That turned into rehearsals, then shows, then tours. And now they’ve got a new album called “Gravity“, released October 2, 2026. […]
Manufracture Music – System Apathy

Manufracture Music doesn’t make music for the faint of heart. The Vienna-based project of producer and sound designer Valerian Steel is back with “System Apathy“, a dark, hardware-driven industrial/EBM single that feels like a machine coming to life just to watch the world burn. This isn’t a song. It’s a transmission from a broken future. […]
The Burton D’Agostini Procedure – Float Over Here

The Burton D’Agostini Procedure have been at this since they were teenagers. Jeff Burton and John D’Agostini met in college, started a band, and never really stopped. That kind of history shows. On “Float Over Here“, you can feel two guys who know each other’s moves without having to talk about it. Burton handles the […]
Ross Atlan – I Can Feel Your Hands

Ross Atlan didn’t come out of nowhere. He’s a Minneapolis grunge scene veteran who moved back to Iowa to chase singing and songwriting. His debut single “I Can Feel Your Hands” is the first shot from a series of songs he’s rolling out, and it lands with a warm, lived-in rock feel. This isn’t a […]
Nick Liberatore – Parallel

Nick Liberatore isn’t some kid with a laptop. He’s a drummer who’s paid his dues on the road, touring with The Goddamn Comedy Jam and Tom Waits War Songs. Now he’s stepping out front with “Parallel“, his debut solo single, and it’s clear he’s got more than just rhythm on his mind. This track comes […]
SANTA CLAWS – Sands of time

SANTA CLAWS aren’t in a hurry. And that’s exactly why “Sands of time” works. The Brittany-based five-piece has been kicking around since 2017. They dropped their debut album produced by Greg Gordon—the guy who worked with Oasis and Supergrass—and then life got in the way. Lineup changes. A pandemic. Years of writing and waiting and […]
Ruut – Gravity

Ruut doesn’t do anything halfway. The Finnish-born, Baltimore-based singer just dropped Gravity, a ten-track album that’s been sitting in her back pocket for fifteen years. And she’s not treating it like some dusty relic. She’s treating it like a second chance. Let’s get the backstory straight, because it matters. Ruut was born in Kuopio, Finland, […]
Hamish – Significant Others

Hamish doesn’t mess around. The Stroud songwriter has been carrying these songs since 2012, and now they’re finally out in the world on Significant Others, a 15-track, hour-plus album that feels like a lifetime in the making. And in a way, it is. Hamish has a simple rule for his music: good melody, good words. […]
Segana – Midnight Masquerade

This isn’t a record that tiptoes around. Segana came out of Sydney with a clear mission: make synth-pop that hits like a rock band and sticks in your skull for days. The duo—Blair Djuna and JMap—met at JMC Academy, both studying songwriting, both already solo artists in their own right. They dropped their first single […]
Steven Luke – Seasons (to be human)

Steven Luke isn’t chasing trends. On “Seasons“, the Lancaster singer-songwriter goes the other way, ditching digital tricks for real instruments played by real people. The result is a classic rock track that breathes. It’s got atmosphere, weight, and a live cello that cuts through the mix like a blade. This is music that sounds like […]
Charlie Sly – Never Had

Charlie Sly doesn’t hide behind a wall of noise. “Never Had” is a slow, painful exhale from a bedroom studio in Cheltenham, and it hits harder than most loud rock songs because it’s so damn honest. This is the sound of a man who gave everything to someone for eleven years and got nothing back. […]
New Sunday – Here I Am Meant To BE

New Sunday isn’t your typical band. They’re a studio project from Hafnarfjordur, Iceland, and the three members have never met face to face. Einar Askelsson writes the songs, Lizzie sings them, and Simon produces. They work from different places, connected only by files and messages. That’s not a gimmick. That’s just how they operate. And […]
