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 […]
Mike Shouse (Ft. Tony MacAlpine) – Upon Looking Back
Grab your air guitar, because Mike Shouse (Ft. Tony MacAlpine) just dropped a closing track that’ll make you want to drive your car off a cliff—in the best damn way possible. “Upon Looking Back” is the final cut on Shouse’s 2025 instrumental progressive rock album Jaded, released September 5th on Deko Entertainment. And holy hell, this thing is a […]
Cashus King, Big O, Blu, Frannie El, Shari – Streams
Listen up, you leather-jacket-wearing, riff-loving maniacs. I know what you’re thinking: “West Coast Hip Hop? On a ROCK website?” Yeah, I said it. Sit down and shut up for a second because Cashus King, Big O, Blu, Frannie El, & Shari just dropped something called “Streams” that hits harder than a Marshall stack at full fucking volume. […]
Storm Boy – Beast Machine Theory
You know how many “post-hardcore” records land on my desk that sound like some art school kids trying way too hard to be clever? Too damn many. But then something like “Beast Machine Theory” from Olympia’s own Storm Boy shows up and reminds me why I started giving a fuck about this music in the first place. This thing […]
BLOCK – Firefly
BLOCK just dropped “Firefly,” and this thing hit us right in the chest like a whiskey bottle thrown from the stage. This is the final stand-alone single before his new album Love Crash drops in May 2026, and holy hell, it’s a punch with a melody. First, the man has credentials that’ll make any indie-rock snob stand up […]
Blindness & Light – Our Man From Fife
Blindness & Light just dropped the title track “Our Man From Fife,” and if this doesn’t squeeze your damn heart, you might wanna check if you’ve still got one. This is real, and it carries the weight of a man saying goodbye to his old man. Colin M Potter is the singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Helen Reynolds does her […]
Shweta Harve – Have You Loved Like a Tree?
Yeah, you heard that right. A tree. And it kicks ass. Forget your candy-coated love songs and your flash-in-the-pan romance anthems. Shweta Harve just dropped a track that grabs you by the soul and refuses to let go. “Have You Loved Like a Tree?” hit since February 14 – and no, this ain’t your grandma’s Valentine’s ballad. This is […]
