Think Denim, dad – Well (Ain’t It Fun)
Levi Parent, Belgium’s low-key sonic warlock operating as Think Denim, dad, just exploded a grenade of pure, twang-drenched brilliance with “Well (Ain’t It Fun)” (released June 6th). This isn’t like the background coffee-shop indie—it’s a hypnotic, guitar-glazed earworm that sinks its fangs DEEP and doesn’t let go. Parent is NOT strumming chords; he’s conducting musical electricity in a denim vest. […]
Blueprint Tokyo – Neon Circuits and the Mission of Hope
Oklahoma City’s Blueprint Tokyo is launching a goddamn noise doctrine with “Neon Circuits and the Mission of Hope,” their hotly anticipated 16-track debut full-length album – yeah, a double-album guts move in this ADHD age – out now via Spectra Music. From that first surge of rhythm, you get it: this is a band that’s done simmering. They’ve locked […]
Mortal Prophets – French Summer
Mortal Prophets – the ever-morphing creation of NYC’s John Beckmann – make us wowed time without number. “French Summer” is an 18-track, velvet- smooth, slightly unhinged joyride down the French Riviera. Top down, rules shattered on the Autoroute. Buckle up, buttercup. This is the real deal. Beckmann, the mad scientist behind this operation, has never played by the […]
Desert Man – Love Kills
Sebastian Gäbel is plunging in loud and reckless with “Love Kills” under the moniker Desert Man. Gäbel’s no newbie; he’s a Grammy-nominated guitar wizard from Gothenburg who’s toured with José González and The String Theory – and now? He’s ditching the fancy orchestras (16 albums worth!) and going raw as Desert Man. Desert Man is Gäbel’s tough alter […]
Goddamn Wolves – I Hate This Song
Raleigh’s finest, Goddamn Wolves, are tearing it up with “I Hate This Song”. Don’t let the title fool you – this track is a blistering, infectious shot of pure fire that’ll have you headbanging ’til your neck hurts. It’s the sound of a band hitting its absolute stride, seven years deep and tighter than a […]
Brood22 – this again
Portland’s moody slowcore force Brood22 is in return, and holy cow, their new single, “this again”, is a mood, a vibe, a goddamn atmospheric trip that’ll knock you on your ass with its intensity. Forget shredding guitars and breakneck drums; this project uses patience and tone like a sonic sledgehammer, leaving you reeling long after the last fuzzy […]
La Versión Extendida de las Cosas – Collie
You have to hear La Versión Extendida de las Cosas. These Costa Rican rockers aren’t playing with their new track “Collie”, their first fully independent banger. No record label suits telling them what to do – this is genuine, real rock straight from them. These guys have been slugging it out for over a decade, and “Collie” […]
Aggressive Soccer Moms – Crossroads
Alright, blast the amps! Stockholm’s engine, Aggressive Soccer Moms, is roaring back to life with their twenty-fourth single, “Crossroads”, and these old dogs are proving they’ve still got teeth, serving up industrial-strength noise. Forget retirement homes; Anders Bergström, Thomas Wahlström, and Stefan Wistrand are too busy rocking stages and reminding everyone what real punk sounds like. Kicking […]
Pompeya – Awesome
Moscow’s secret weapon, Pompeya, just blew the roof off with their EP “Awesome” (released April 11, 2025). Five tracks, 17 minutes of pure, unadulterated indie rock bliss. Building on their viral breakout hit “90”, Pompeya ain’t resting on laurels; they’re torching the rulebook with mixing 80s new wave vibes, 70s disco grooves, and 90s indie rock attitude into […]
Barry J Walsh – Suddenly June
Barry J Walsh, the Irish songsmith, is lighting the fuse on a summer kaboom with “Suddenly June.” This track comes hot on the heels of last year’s hits “Rescue Me” and “The Sound” – songs that had radio DJs wearing out their play buttons. Walsh is proving he’s got the chops when it comes to […]
Ava Valianti – Distant
Ava Valianti, this Massachusetts-born firecracker, ain’t here to whisper sweet nothings in your ear. Nah, she’s here to detonate your brainstem through your stereo! At just 15, this indie badass slams down her sixth single, “Distant” (out May 23), a freaking kaboom of stage-diving adrenaline mixed with the throat-grab of growing up and losing your childhood crew. […]
Para Lia – Neverland
Strap in, because Para Lia isn’t playing nice. Their latest single, “Neverland“, is a face-melting monster that’ll grip you by the short hairs. This German duo—René Methner (lead vocals, guitars, driving the lyrical daggers) and Cindy (vocals, adding spectral dimension)—they’ve cooked up something wicked smart and loud as hell. From the word go, “Neverland” establishes its raw power. It […]
