Ana April – Unarmed And Naked
Ana April’s not dabbling—she’s forging audio meant to wreck you. Her new track “Unarmed And Naked,” hits May 16, 2025, and we should expect carnage: bass, bite, and bleeding edge. You won’t find this on Spotify’s “Easy Vibes”—this is a controlled demolition with moments of calm, all while flipping off the rulebook. The song’s core […]
Lemon – Insta Queen
Amsterdam’s stalwarts Lemon are at it again with their fifth #lemon12 single, “Insta Queen”—a raucous, LED-drenched breakdown of screen-glued mania that’s as Madchester groovy as it is NEDchester grimy. Dropping May 16, 2025, this track slaps you awake. It’s got rust-covered fretwork, drums that don’t quit, and a Hammond organ that sounds like it’s been dragged kicking and […]
Dan Gober – Stoned Supreme
Dan Gober is far beyond singer-songwriter territory—he’s a full band packed into one body. Hot on the heels of his scorcher “Stoned Supreme,” Gober’s back at it, throwing out tunes that’ll knock you on your ass faster than a shot of Jack. “Stoned Supreme” isn’t your predictable radio-friendly rock song. It’s like Gober took a […]
Ruff Hunter – Punching Darts
Ruff Hunter isn’t kidding. With “Punching Darts,” the ex-Polar Boys frontman tears into his solo era with a track that’s equally gasoline and matchstick—a collision of post-punk snarl, shoegaze haze, and lo-fi rebellion. This isn’t some safe, nostalgia-soaked side project; it’s proving Hunter’s got more than just a legacy with The Polar Boys (millions of […]
Jesse Blake Rundle – Continuous, Wait
Jesse Blake Rundle’s latest single, “Continuous, Wait,” is all grit, no gloss—a dive straight into distortion. Clocking in at three and a half minutes of swirling alt-rock tension, the track snaps with alt-rock fury that’ll leave your ears ringing and your soul searching—abandoning the church, embracing queerness, clawing into music—and lived to shred about it. […]
In The Afterglow – Words We Couldn’t Say
In The Afterglow, the work of British-Canadian sonic architect Alfred Hermida, returns with a knockout punch of shoegaze brilliance on “Words We Couldn’t Say” – a track that’s contrastingly bruising and beautiful. Released May 2, 2025, this single drags you into a swirling vortex of reverb-soaked guitars and unshakable melancholy. Buckle up – this is […]
TV FACE – BOOTS POCKET COFFIN
Lancaster’s DIY noise-punk maniacs TV FACE are dropping “BOOTS POCKET COFFIN” like a sonic grenade lobbed straight at your eardrums. This acid-scuzz trio—Steve (vocals/guitar), Brigit (vocals/bass), and Dave (drums)—has cooked up a wild concoction of chaos and attitude that’ll burrow into your brain and set up shop. Recorded at Liverpool’s Whitewood Studios with producer Rob Whiteley (fresh off BC Camplight’s latest), the single is […]
Public Health – Painless
Philadelphia’s Public Health, the alias of singer-songwriter Alex Moxam, just dropped “Painless,” a track that slaps you awake – in the greatest way imaginable. Moxam, the project’s mastermind, teams up with Matt Paparone (lead guitar/bass), and man, does that dude know how to shred. The riffs are piercing enough to cut glass, and the bassline? It’s like a live […]
The Buddyrevelles – Peabo
The Buddyrevelles kick off their latest EP, The Concession, with “Peabo,” a track that hits the gas pedal from the first riff and never looks back. These Chicago boys – Aaron Grant shredding guitar and belting vocals, Scott Hoch slapping bass and adding his pipes, and Dan Reinholdt pounding the skins – they’re not messing around. […]
Velodrone – Count to Three
Velodrone doesn’t resurrect the energy of ‘90s alt-rock—they douse it in gasoline and let it blaze into 2025. Their “Count to Three” is all shoegaze fuzz and punk attitude. They’re not here to cash in on nostalgia; they’re here to blow your speakers. Marisa Dewa‘s fronting this beast, and she’s got the chops to back it up. […]
Stevepuddle and his Bivouac Band – The Losing Game
Renegades Stevepuddle and His Bivouac Band are back to kick dirt in the face of complacency with The Losing Game. Dropping May 9th, this track is a “screw adulthood”-themed song. Visualize this: You’re nursing a lukewarm beer, wondering where your youth went. Then BANG! This tune hits you with nostalgia and rebellion. The guitars are all jagged, […]
Bernhard Hollinger – 1987
Bernhard Hollinger isn’t your average Joe with a bass guitar. The award-winning bass virtuoso, composer, and mad scientist has finally let out his debut album as a bandleader, “1987” (Boomslang Records), and it’s a shapeshifting, mind-bending ride through the subconscious that’s both cerebral and primal. Inspired by the fractured dream logic of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks and the raw […]
