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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Rooftop Screamers are at it again—they’re launching anthems. Their latest one, “Blink of an Eye” (featuring Spacehog’s Royston Langdon), is a fiery, format-defying sonic sledgehammer that wrangles the panic of being alive and baptises listeners in fuzz and fire. Spacehog’s Royston Langdon joins the fray, bringing his signature howl to the blend. It’s like someone took a […]
Fringe Frontier – Heartbreak Parade
Fringe Frontier’s latest single, “Heartbreak Parade,” floors it through a musical landscape where down-home grit smashes into pop-punk energy, leaving your ears ringing. This song’s not just music; it’s a booze-fueled, heart-baring riot that’s as reckless as it is redemptive. Straight outta the gate, “Heartbreak Parade” hits like a backroad joyride gone rogue. The guitar […]

Mike Bloom – Natural Disaster
After spending years behind the scenes, shredding guitars and twiddling knobs for big names like Jenny Lewis and Julian Casablancas, Mike Bloom is stepping into the spotlight with “Natural Disaster.” It’s a synth-heavy gut-punch that screams “I’m done being in the background.” Bloom’s unleashed here, mixing ’80s alt-pop attitude with raw, guitar-fueled emotion that hits […]
