Bastien Pons – Blinded

Bastien Pons’ “Blinded” is here to rewire your nervous system. Overlook typical rock records—this near-eight-minute leviathan, the title track from the French artist’s debut album, isn’t a song with a hook; it’s a slow-burning, precisely designed universe of sound, heavy not just in decibels but in natural, textural gravity. This is for those who want their music to weigh something. Pons […]
ReeToxA – Redneck Love

ReeToxA just crashed through the goddamn wall with “Redneck Love,” a track that ain’t so much a song as a full-throttle, gut-level rebellion against the plasticine shine of modern celebrity. Released on June 27, 2025, this thing is the kind that seizes you with the first hammer-slam of the drum and refuses to let go of its grip. The backstory […]
Mike Vorpal – Q

Alright, lean in close. The air’s about to get static. Mike Vorpal will hijack your frequency with “Q,” a track that’s less a song and more a glitch in the matrix set to a paranoid, throbbing beat. Pulled from his debut solo EP Memes, this is music for the digital abyss, a noir flick for your ears, buzzing with the raw, […]
Zegovia – Prefab

Houston’s own Zegovia is back, and they’re not asking for permission. On August 27, they’re dropping “Prefab,” a track that’s basically a loud, scorching reminder of what rock music feels like when you strip away all the BS and pump it full of untainted, unedited energy. This goes beyond a song—it’s an experience. After the […]
Cherry i – The Arsonist

London’s Cherry i does more than drop songs—they develop whole dimensions. Their latest single, “The Arsonist,” is this enormous, filmic beast that proves they’re the real deal when it comes to building sensation and aura. This isn’t something you throw on in the background. No way. It’s a gradual art-rock odyssey that drags you down […]
IT SOUND – It’s Called Blood

Crank up those speakers—they’re about to get a serious workout. Seattle’s one-man ball, IT SOUND, is roaring back, and the lead single “It’s Called Blood” from his upcoming LP of the same name hits like it isn’t for the squeamish. Jesse Damm, the mad genius running this whole IT SOUND operation, bottles up that damp […]
indifferentMonKeY – Painless War

indifferentMonKeY is detonating grenades, and “Painless War” is their latest explosive manifesto. This track is a plunge into the band’s signature “Trip Hop Rock” abyss, proving why they’re the most exciting disruptors on the alternative scene right now. Right from the drop, “Painless War” establishes its dominance. Expect Joe Lowe to lay down a bassline that isn’t […]
Carrying Torches – Opening Up

Look, Carrying Torches – those Chicago rockers who’ve been slinging Electric Heartland Garage Rock – they’re not messing. Their new single “Opening Up” is the kind of song that shakes the ground under your feet. These guys have built their name on raw power and stories that hit you right where it counts, and guys, […]
MARS 999 – V Zákrutách

Slovak artist MARS 999 just dropped “V Zákrutách”, and this single is a potent shot of atmospheric, slow-burn indie rock that seizes you by the neck and commands you feel something. He recorded this beast between Slovakia and Prague with Aussie producer Rohin Brown, then handed it off to mastering wizard Sarah Register (yeah, the one who’s worked […]
Reetoxa – Avocet Court

Sometimes the heaviest punches come wrapped in velvet gloves. Reetoxa – Jason McKee‘s solo project – just dropped “Avocet Court”. This isn’t the regular raucous, guitar-screaming barnburner. Nope. It’s a slow-burn, deeply personal ballad that cuts deep with emotional honesty and minimalist brilliance. Coming from Carrum Downs, Victoria, and now working out of Sydney, McKee […]
Mr Henry and Side Hustle – Sunset Grille

D.C.’s one-man rock machine Mr Henry and Side Hustle – the baby of drummer-songwriter Henry Weisiger – drops a killer groove with “Sunset Grille.” Toss out any ideas about polished studio slickness; this 2024 banger’s all about that feel-good, old-school rock vibe, served with real personality on the side. Weisiger’s been around the block, jamming […]
Mike Vorpal – House of Capricorn

Mike Vorpal, right on the heels of the fierce “Manhunter,” his debut solo EP Memes delivers another knockout punch with “House of Capricorn”. Vorpal plunges into the weird, wired heart of our digital age, and this track? It’s a prime example of his darkly captivating craft. This Portland-based solo artist knows how to stitch together evocative songwriting with […]
