A VIOLET IN YOUTH – Desert Roll
Let’s get one thing straight: A VIOLET IN YOUTH will build a landscape in your skull, brick by melodic brick, and then set it ablaze with the golden-hour sun. Their track “Desert Roll” grinds its gears on LA asphalt before soaring into violet-hued skies. This is art-rock with a pop heartbeat and industrial-strength bones, and […]
Mad Morning – The Circle
The storm that Essex trio Mad Morning kicked up with their debut “Painkiller” wasn’t a fluke – it was a warning shot. And now, with their blistering new single “The Circle,” they’ve gone full scorched-earth policy, delivering a track that drags you headfirst into the glorious, grimey chaos of modern rock. “The Circle” is a monstrous slab of high-voltage indie […]
WEIGHT BELLY .3-9 – White Rabbit
Strap in, because WEIGHT BELLY .3-9 just dropped a face-melting, boundary-shredding beast of a track. “White Rabbit” is an absolute explosion. Hailing from the concrete jungle of Toronto, this project delivers Nu-metal aggression and futuristic electronic grit that kicks any door. Right from the jump, the Deftones influence is profound and proud, specifically their Adrenaline era. But […]
Fiona Amaka – Desert Flower
In a scene often clogged with artists trying way too hard to be the next big, brooding thing, stumbling upon Fiona Amaka’s “Desert Flower” is like kicking open a fire door and getting a blast of clean, sun-soaked air. Released on 14 December 2025, this is Amaka’s fourth drop of last year, and it screams […]
I, Captain – Out of the Shadows
Clear the dust off your turntable and crank the volume to ten. I, Captain is back, and they’re dragging a slice of rock ‘n’ roll Out of the Shadows and straight into your skull. This is a mission statement for their incendiary third album, and it sounds like it was rescued from a forgotten 1970s vinyl crypt. […]
Raina Wiles – Pink
Strap in. Raina Wiles is taking you for a ride, but it’s not a joyride—it’s a late-night cruise through the confusion of modern life with her new single, “Pink.” Toss the genre label of Modern Pop/R&B into the backseat; this track has a rock-solid, haunting vibe that grips you by the throat. It’s a slow-burner […]
Tony Lio – Better to Sleep
TONY LIO just rolled out of the shadows and slammed down “Better to Sleep.” This is vulnerability turned up to eleven, and it’s absolutely blistering. Lio has always had chops, but here, he ditches any semblance of a safety net. But don’t mistake that for acoustic campfire fluff. This is the kind of minimalist, heart-on-the-sleeve rawness that […]
Lana Crow – Laugh With You
Lana Crow is dropping a gauntlet wrapped in a melody with her latest track, “Laugh With You.” This is Indie/Alt Pop with a serious rock ‘n’ roll spine, a track that’s built on conviction and screams resilience from every guitar chord and vocal swell. Crow, the solo singer-songwriter powerhouse known for her authenticity and fearless […]
Allan Jamisen – The Coalition
Artist Allan Jamisen just plugged in the discontent and unleashed “The Coalition.” This is a bone-shaking, politically-charged one forged in trip-hop precision and industrial noise. Jamisen, the composer and painter who operates from the shadows of the mainstream, screams the ugly truth in your face. “The Coalition” is a direct, no-bullshot musical indictment of the military-industrial complex. […]
Ed Boxall – The High Far Fields of Home
Ed Boxall, the Hastings-based artist, printmaker, and storyteller, has just fired the first colossal shot from his upcoming LP with End Of The Trail Records, and it’s a monster. The debut single, “The High Far Fields of Home,” is a tidal wave of melancholy and powerful wistfulness. Ed Boxall makes story-driven songs where every lyric is a carefully […]
Madeline Rosene – Love and Algorhythms
In a world drowning in AI-generated slop and algorithmic spoon-feeding, Madeline Rosene grabs the damn microphone and throws a human wrench into the machine with “Love and Algorhythms”. This is a wired, sharp-toothed reflection on the creepy-crawly feeling that a server farm might know the contours of your heart better than the person lying next to you. […]
Make Believe Love – Kid with a Dad Bod
Los Angeles powerpop collective Make Believe Love just released their new single “Kid with a Dad Bod,” for anyone who’s ever felt the weird clash of youth’s spirit in an aging chassis. Who’s behind this noise? A trio of scene veterans who know how to weld a hook. At the helm is Lucas Berman, spitting lead vocals while simultaneously […]
