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 […]
Exzenya – B!tch Please
Exzenya doesn’t do weepy. “B!tch Please” is a blues-rock kick to the ribs, and it’s built for anyone who’s ever been cheated on and decided to laugh instead of cry. This isn’t a ballad about heartbreak. It’s a victory lap. The song puts you in the room when the door opens, when the truth finally […]
Massimo Donelli-Paolo Rossi – Adorati Spiriti
This is not your typical rock record. Massimo Donelli-Paolo Rossi didn’t put together a collection of party anthems or breakup songs. They built a concept album with weight, history, and a message that hits harder than a wall of Marshall stacks. “Adorati Spiriti” is nine tracks of progressive rock, jazz-fusion, and world music that tells […]
Last Night Watchman – Old Blighty
Let me tell you something about the Last Night Watchman. This isn’t some kid fresh out of music school trying to get clicks on TikTok. This is a guy who’s been around the block, played in a proper Birmingham indie band called The Noseflutes back in the day, recorded sessions for the BBC, and released […]
Apple Eyes – Be
Apple Eyes are a London duo who don’t need a fancy studio to make a racket. Their single “Be” is a synth-driven kick in the teeth that proves you can do it all yourself if you’ve got the guts. Claire Hadidjenar and Matthew Walker met at university, and together they’ve built a sound that’s part […]
