Softer – Beachball
Los Angeles outfit Softer just dropped what might be the ultimate summer anthem, but hang on – don’t let that title trick you. “Beachball” sounds like a shimmering, surf-kissed dream-pop gem, sure, but it’s a huge punch under all that jaunty swagger. Leading the charge is Belinda Cai, and she’s the real deal. She’s not just singing […]
The Past is The Best – Deep blue
Warsaw’s smashing force The Past is The Best just dropped “Deep Blue” (July 4, 2025), and wow – it’s a raw, thrilling mix of sounds that’ll knock you sideways. Led by a vocalist who absolutely commands your attention, these guys are taking decades of influences and welding them into something good. “Deep Blue” nails that collision perfectly. […]
Oaken Lee – Home (is a folk-rock mixtape)
Coming straight outta Tottenham after grinding for a decade and taking a few years off, Oaken Lee (that’s Jake, for the record – a Shropshire lad turned North London fixture) has dropped something genuinely special. “Home (is a folk-rock mixtape)” is his whole mission, his vibe, and one hell of a song collection that rocks with heart, […]
mozworth – The Sky Is Falling
Austin’s mozworth – they’re throwing a lit match into the powder keg with “The Sky Is Falling”. This is a musical cocktail brewed in the white-hot chaos of early 2025 – political fault lines splitting, society screaming whiplash et cetera. This is the debut detonation of the full goddamn lineup, and holy hellfire, do they ignite. Picture this: Mark Heaps on electric guitar, slinging chords that gouge. […]
Blindness & Light – Your Solitude
Hell yeah! Blindness & Light isn’t some rigid band – they’re a globe-trotting, rule-breaking post-punk collective that’s firing on all cylinders, and “Your Solitude” is the proof. These guys stretch from Anglesey to Yorkshire, with members scattered in Japan and Argentina. Talk about a loose crew that runs on pure independence. Colin M Potter fronts […]
Heyzeus – Little Big House
Heyzeus – UK duo Jessica Drummer (drums) and Jamie Andrew (vocals/guitar) – just released “Little Big House.” This is grunge-funk scraped raw in a shack in Cleveland, Australia. That shack is their temple and the fuel is two years of busking across the globe during “The Great Big Busk” – playing streets, swallowing dust, storing every shout and sigh. Jamie Andrew‘s vocals are the heart of […]
Brood22 – just past the exit with the truck stop
Hitting play on Brood22‘s new EP, “just past the exit with the truck stop”, is like flicking on your high beams on a pitch-black desert highway. It cuts through the void between Tucson’s heat haze and Portland’s perpetual drizzle. This ain’t music you hear; it’s a landscape you inhabit. A desolate, beautiful, fucked-up stretch of sonic highway where […]
WOOF – Wild Heat
WOOF just carved a fresh scar into Chicago’s post-punk underbelly with “Wild Heat”, and it’s not a wound that scabs over easily. Released June 20, 2025, this is a slow-drip venom, a synth-punk séance that seduces you while calculating the cost of combustion. This is music for the 3 AM reckoning, when the city’s pulse thrums through your window […]
DEVIN MØRE – Tell Myself It’s Fine
Florida’s DEVIN MØRE just dropped the anthem for anyone white-knuckling their way through 2025’s confusion. “Tell Myself It’s Fine” is a tightly wound coil of anxiety, defiance, and razor-sharp social commentary that explodes with pure energy. Quit pretending everything’s okay. This track screams the uncomfortable truth we’re all living: navigating a fractured America while feeling […]
John Deering – Gotta Get Away
John Deering just released “Gotta Get Away,” hitting the airwaves since June 27th, 2025. Deering’s been cooking right in his own basement, and you can feel that. This is a story straight from real life, served up with honest-to-goodness rock ‘n’ roll edge. Deering’s the kind of artist who puts his whole heart into storytelling. […]
Sleep Tactics – THE LAUGHING HEARTS (SINGLE)
Philly’shearing it loud. The city’s rock pulse just kicked into overdrive. Sleep Tactics, the fiercely independent brainchild of Dan Smith (songwriter/vocalist/guitarist), explodes back from hiatus with “THE LAUGHING HEARTS“ on July 4th, 2025. Ditch the patriotic pyrotechnics – this is the true detonation. A brutal tune forged in the crucible of city living, proving bone-rattling tunes can be built solo, brick by Philly apartment brick. […]
Blunt Blade – Forgiveness
Blunt Blade’s second album, “Forgiveness,” is one album that’d make you forget neat genre boxes – this album spits on them. Who is Blunt Blade? Blunt Blade is the band. The guy’s been musically obsessed since he was a kid – piano by 7, guitar by 15, bass and drums by 16 – and every single layer […]
