Zach Adams – Dead Man Walking
Zach Adams’ debut record, Dead Man Walking, is an absolute beast of alternative and prog rock that highs the volume as the soundtrack to their own 2023 horror/fantasy novel. Yeah, you heard that right. Not background noise you throw on while doing dishes, but a full-blown ride that’ll yank you straight into Isaac Falcone’s twisted, character-packed […]
Siren Section – Medicine
Los Angeles duo Siren Section is back with their latest single, “Medicine”.

UK duo Lost Velvet— that’s multi-instrumentalist Robert Butcher and vocalist Melissa Morris—just dropped “Make It Alright”. Released August 22nd as the big finale of their debut EP trilogy, this song glues what these two are all about: music that’s “shadow and shimmer.” “Make It […]
Blindness & Light – Love Redacted
If you’re done with squeaky-clean, algorithm-friendly rock, then let “Love Redacted” by Blindness & Light hit you like a bucket of cold water. Hailing from a loose collective of musicians stretching from Anglesey to Yorkshire—with even contributors in Japan and Argentina—this isn’t your typical rigid band setup. And thank god for that. “Love Redacted” is the sixth […]
Herman Martinez – UltraTerrestrial
Herman Martinez is not here to gently ease you into anything. His new album, “UltraTerrestrial,” is a goddamn force of nature—an 11-track, hour-plus odyssey that holds you by the brainstem. This here’s a high-concept ride through the outer limits of progressive rock, psychedelia, and unadulterated creative madness. Martinez burned the rulebook for fuel somewhere on the outskirts […]
Pisgah – Favor
Pisgah—that’s Southern-born, London-based artist Brittney Jenkins—just dropped “Favor,” the sizzling second single from her upcoming debut album, Faultlines. Think Aimee Mann, Hayley Williams, and Momma all rolled into one, having a jam session in your garage. Jenkins here is singing of relationship wreckage with brutal honesty and a massive wall of distorted guitars backing her up. […]

Hey Look Listen – Now is the Time
Detroit’s always been where music gets real and fresh, and that’s exactly where Hey Look Listen comes from – it’s the solo project of trans artist Gwen Katherine.

If you thought rock ‘n’ roll had lost its nerve, that it wasn’t saying anything real anymore, then you haven’t pressed play on ReeToxA‘s latest ripper. “Papa Loves Ladyboys” is one of the most vibrantly human tracks to hit the airwaves this year. This tune begins with these bright, clean guitar lines, before the rhythm […]
Bastien Pons – One Minute Of America
Bastien Pons is a French pro who uses field recordings and industrial textures like a guitarist uses a wall of amps – to build a feeling, a space, a goddamn atmosphere. His track, “One Minute Of America,” from the debut album Blinded, is a prime example. This is rock and roll in its spirit, not its […]
Dust Cwaine – Twin Lakes
Dust Cwaine’s latest single, “Twin Lakes,” the title track from their upcoming album, is a beast. After the upbeat T4T synth-pop vibes of “Little Plans,” they’ve swung hard in the opposite direction, serving up some seriously introspective rock that’s gutsy and still mesmerising. Dust co-wrote this one with producer Josh Eastman (you might know his […]
