Creative Vibrations – Sunday Bummer
Forget your chill, acoustic Sunday recovery playlist. Toss it out the window. Creative Vibrations has just delivered a thirteen-track manifesto for the spiritually wrung-out and philosophically pissed-off. “Sunday Bummer” is for anyone who’s stared down a new week feeling the weight of the entire modern world crushing their chest. The first track “The Way” sets the tone […]
Ed Boxall – The High Far Fields of Home
Ed Boxall, the Hastings-based artist, printmaker, and storyteller, has just fired the first colossal shot from his upcoming LP with End Of The Trail Records, and it’s a monster. The debut single, “The High Far Fields of Home,” is a tidal wave of melancholy and powerful wistfulness. Ed Boxall makes story-driven songs where every lyric is a carefully […]
Madeline Rosene – Love and Algorhythms
In a world drowning in AI-generated slop and algorithmic spoon-feeding, Madeline Rosene grabs the damn microphone and throws a human wrench into the machine with “Love and Algorhythms”. This is a wired, sharp-toothed reflection on the creepy-crawly feeling that a server farm might know the contours of your heart better than the person lying next to you. […]
Make Believe Love – Kid with a Dad Bod
Los Angeles powerpop collective Make Believe Love just released their new single “Kid with a Dad Bod,” for anyone who’s ever felt the weird clash of youth’s spirit in an aging chassis. Who’s behind this noise? A trio of scene veterans who know how to weld a hook. At the helm is Lucas Berman, spitting lead vocals while simultaneously […]
Lunar Lagoon – Miles
Lunar Lagoon is here to drag the genre through the gutter and into a beautiful, grimy neon light with their new single “Miles”. The engine room of this operation is Joe Nurrish, whose moody, thoughtful lyricism is the soul of the project. But Lunar Lagoon has evolved into a formidable collaborative beast with Luke Morton in the mix. Their […]
ReeToxA – HMAS CERBERUS
ReeToxA’s new single “HMAS CERBERUS” is your fix. This is a voltage-fuelled confession booth, screaming through a wall of 90s Oz rock amplifiers with a modern twist. Right out the gate, the vibe is pure alternative grunge sludge—think heavy riffs meets melodic punch, the kind of tune that’s deep but you can still dance to it. And you will move, […]
Tom Minor – Change It!
Buckle up, grease your gears, London N1’s own gutter-poet prophet Tom Minor is back, and he’s swinging for the fences with his latest seismic single, “Change It!”. Dropping on Boxing Day via Overreaction Records, this is a vintage soul-drenched indie rock riot designed to shake the apathy right out of your bones. Minor is no fresh-faced rookie. “Change […]
There’s Talk – Unfucktheworld (Angel Olsen cover)
Oakland’s electronic dream pop power trio There’s Talk just dropped a cover of Angel Olsen’s “Unfucktheworld,” and let’s be clear—this track pulls you into its expansive, meditative void. The engine of this machine is Olivia Lee—multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and the band’s core. The story goes that she first tackled this song during the grim, isolated dawn of Covid, a […]
KINSALE – Is It Time
In a world drowning in algorithmically generated, sterile “rock,” Atlanta’s KINSALE arrives not with a whimper, but with “Is It Time,” the opening salvo from their debut EP Nights & Weekends. Raymond Gurley owns the microphone with a voice that’s seen some miles—earthy, urgent, and cutting like a switchblade. Flanking him is the six-string spine of David Thornton, whose guitars weave between […]
Mortal Prophets – UNDER THE INFLUENCE
Mortal Prophets aren’t here to pay tribute. They’re here to interrogate. On their new EP, “UNDER THE INFLUENCE,” the project—spearheaded by the singular vision of John Beckmann—treats iconic songs not as sacred texts, but as volatile fuel for a post-punk inferno. This is five tracks of radical, fearless reinterpretation that drags influence into a shadowy downtown warehouse, and rebuilds […]
Sam Zucker – Ashwood Road
Springfield’s Sam Zucker just dropped “Ashwood Road”, and it’s anything but a gentle acoustic weep. The soul of “Ashwood Road” comes from a genuine family-and-friends fire. The catalyst was Mat Zucker, who, reeling from the loss of his mother and the subsequent sale of his childhood home, played the visionary. No musician himself, he made a brutally honest music “brief”—a one-page […]
Divineisll – Game on Skip
We’re diving into “Game on Skip” by Divineisll, straight out of Buctown, USA, and it’s carrying a message that’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer to a stained-glass window. Divineisll is a self-proclaimed “Earth Angel on a mission,” and after one listen to this track, you’ll believe it. Teaming up with the producer Ryini—a collaboration […]
