Swamp Music Players – Run With Us
Swamp Music Players just dropped a cover of “Run With Us” that’ll punch you square in the nostalgia bone and then set it on fire. These Canadian madmen took that sweet, syrupy synth-pop anthem from The Raccoons and raised the distortion until it screamed for mercy. And I’m here for every second of it. Formed back in 2015 […]

The new three-track juggernaut, Infinity Fall III by Watch Me Die Inside, isn’t here to give you a hug.

Richard Green – Purpose and Price
Richard Green isn’t messing around with “Purpose and Price.” This Milan and London-based cat is doing the whole damn thing himself—composing, performing, producing, the works.

Rorksha – Récif
Let me tell you something straight up—this Rorksha joint called “Récif” is the kind of track that sneaks up on you like a quiet storm before it absolutely demolishes everything in its path.
