Highroad No.28 – Thistroubledsoul
Strap in and turn it up. Way up. From the land down under comes a noise that’s less of a song and more of a seismic event. Highroad No. 28 is back, and their second single, “Thistroubledsoul,” is an unfiltered excavation of the psyche, distributed with the might of The Orchard (Sony Music). This is a track built in the […]
Sugar Scars – Dark Spark – White Light
Sugar Scars just dropped their sophomore album, “Dark Spark – White Light,” is a 32-minute, 11-track odyssey that feels less like a casual listen and more like being thrown into a fever dream curated by two mad scientists. This bi-national duo, operating from the creative fault line between El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico, is here to drag […]
Anana Kaye – Cordelia
Nashville’s not just about twang and tears anymore—it’s about to get a seismic, transatlantic shockwave courtesy of Anana Kaye. With her debut single “Cordelia,” lifted from the impending album ‘Are You There?,’ this Georgian-born force of nature doesn’t only enter the room; she kicks down the door with a boot heel made of truth and […]
soundvsystem records – soundvsystem: daylight x darknight
The indie blogosphere just grew teeth, claws, and a serious set of Marshall stacks. soundvystem records, the freshly-minted label sprouting from the gritty soil of the New York City indie music blog, is cannonballing into the deep end with a debut compilation. “daylight x darknight” is a curated riot, a journey through the spectrum where melody collides head-first […]
Knabokov Collective – Borderline: Chaos at the Border
The Knabokov Collective, spearheaded by the fierce Patrick Costello, isn’t here to serenade you to sleep. Hell no. They’re here to grab you by the collar with their re-released powerhouse, “Borderline: Chaos at the Border.” At the front of this sonic assault is Patrick Costello. His voice is the command centre—powerful, intense, and utterly controlled, delivering […]
ReeToxA – Insta Life Donna
ReeToxA is lobbing a grenade right into the polite silence of the modern alternative scene. “Insta Life Donna,” a standout hidden gem from their debut album Pines Salad, is raw, personal fury into a track that’s irresistibly catchy and brutally honest. This thing has synth, pounding drums, and great guitar/bass. But that description doesn’t do justice to the […]
Pisgah – Faultlines
“Faultlines,” the sophomore album from London-based Pisgah, is a controlled demolition. This is the moment where Brittney Jenkins, the singular force behind the moniker, plugs her Southern Gothic soul directly into a Marshall stack and lets the feedback of a fractured life roar. Jenkins, a Southern American export who’s called Greater London home since 2015, […]
Wuzy Bambussy – Little Lion
The West Country’s best-kept secret, Wuzy Bambussy, just dropped a face-melter. “Little Lion,” the lead single from their impending debut LP The Ghost & The Rhythm, is perfect. Nikolai Jones, the architect behind the boards, builds a track that’s all muscle and shadow. Forget quaint nostalgia; this is a driving, pulsating rhythm section that feels like a […]
Pesky Kid – Holy Light
Pesky Kid just dropped “Holy Light,” and if you think this is just another gentle alt-indie sigh, you’re not listening hard enough. This track is the kind that fuels the best rock—wrapping a fist of real emotion in a velvet glove of lush sound. It’s bittersweet, it’s self-aware, and it’s got more layers than a stadium […]
The Silver Arrow Collective – The Silver Arrow Collective
The Silver Arrow Collective just dropped a nine-track rocket sled built from pedal steel, existential grit, and the kind of guitars that smolder long after the needle lifts. Forget what you think “alt-country” is—“The Silver Arrow Collective” takes that label, chews it up, and spits it out as something sleeker, wilder, and pointed straight at the heart […]
Moon Construction Kit – Chemicals
From the shadowy depths of Lausanne comes a one-man audio assault that’s about to hijack your speakers and your nervous system. Moon Construction Kit, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist warlock Olivier Cornu, is dropping “Chemicals” on December 5, and it’s a punch of pure, uncut “Power-Goth-Pop.” Olivier Cornu is the singer, the writer, the guitarist, the […]
Blindness & Light – Fly Paper
Blindness & Light just dropped “Fly Paper,” a gnarly, retro-fueled garage-punk rager. This is the track of a band—or more accurately, a fiercely independent collective—plugging in, turning up, and directing the revolutionary spirit of the ’60s Nuggets compilations straight into the modern era. It’s a dysfunctional love song for a dysfunctional world, and it’s absolutely brilliant. […]
