Fringe Frontier – Think Back
You like your rock music with a side of worn-out boots and a map dotted with dive bars from the Georgia clay all the way up to the concrete canyons of New York? If yes, then you already know Fringe Frontier. Following up their last LP, Songs from the Wirehouse—which had the golden ears of 2x […]
Holly Woodlove – Run Back
Alexander Dausch, the mad scientist behind the San Diego solo Holly Woodlove, is back with “Run Back“. This thing absolutely rips. Released on February 13, this track isn’t simply a warm-up for the upcoming double album The Most Beautiful Lie (dropping March 4); it’s a declaration of war. From the very first second, “Run Back” explodes out […]
Eoin Shannon – Highs & lows
We’ve spun a lot of records over the past year, and plenty of them sound like they were cooked up in some sterile producer’s lab with charts telling artists what notes to hit—and that’s totally fine. But then there’s this album. Eoin Shannon‘s “Highs & lows“ hits different because it lives different. This Irish singer-songwriter isn’t playing. Released August 2025, this […]
Kentucky Trust Fund – Last Flight
Sacramento’s The Kentucky Trust Fund just dropped a debut full-length that hits like a shot of bourbon chased with a mandolin solo to the gut. Last Flight rocks. Plain and simple. We’re talking 52 minutes across 11 tracks that build, swell, and absolutely detonate when you least expect it. The band—Bill Craig pounding drums and singing, […]
Sean MacLeod – Take Control (Don’t Let ‘Em)
After getting a bit experimental and artsy with his last single, Dublin’s own Sean MacLeod reminds us exactly why he cut his teeth in the 90s indie scene with the legendary Cisco. “Take Control (Don‘t Let ’Em)” is an explosion of everything we love about the genre. This feels like it was cut live in […]
The Vigilante – Get You Through
If you’ve been starving for a track like a shot of whiskey chased with a lightning bolt, The Vigilante just delivered the goods. The cinematic synth-rock architect is back with “Get You Through,” dropping January 30 on all major platforms, and this is the kind of tune that finds you at 2 a.m. staring at […]
The Trusted – Spin
Look, we’ve sat through enough landfill indie and copy-paste pop-punk to last ten lifetimes. But every once in a while, a track comes along that kicks the door down and refuses to shut up until you’re paying attention. The Trusted have just dropped that track. “Spin” hit since Wednesday February 18th on all platforms, and Southend-on-Sea’s […]
Pearl Project – Poetry in Motion
If you’ve been sleeping on Pearl Project, now’s the time to wake the hell up. This isn’t your regular romantic pop tune dressed up in soft synth and whispery vocals. Nah. This is “Poetry in Motion,” and they took this track to the zenith of good music. Let’s rewind a second. Pearl Project ain’t new […]
Anette Ähdel – Whispered Walls
“Whispered Walls” by Anette Ähdel won’t get out of our skulls. And we don’t want it to. This is a woman who cut her teeth fronting Yesterday’s Gone—a real-deal local rock band that’s sweat it out on actual stages, not just bedroom laptops. She’s been penning lyrics and co-writing tunes for that outfit long enough […]
Studious B – About Me
Studious B just dropped the single of the year with “About Me”, and we’re not being polite about it. Brian C. Taylor—writer, filmmaker, and the man behind the band—has been walking the edge for years. His last record, Death is a Dancer, was raw, angry, and bleeding at the seams. But this time? He brought in the secret […]
The Lovely Sparrows – Edge of the Collapse
Austin, Texas has turned out some heavy hitters over the years, but The Lovely Sparrows? Man, they’ve been flying under the radar for way too long. Two decades deep, and with their new single “Edge of the Collapse” — the opening salvo from the upcoming album I Still Picture You Running — they just proved that “avant-folk” […]
Hana Piranha – Valentine
Most bands who try to write about “destructive romance” end up sounding like they just got dumped at a Starbucks and decided to plug in an acoustic guitar. That is not what’s happening here. Hana Piranha just ripped the door off its hinges with “Valentine.” This thing SLAMS. This isn’t some moody bedroom pop confession. This is a […]
