2nd Magpie Project – Divine Intervention
South London’s 2nd Magpie Project are a strange bunch. They hide out in a secret spot in Lewisham, cook up tunes, and then drop them on the world without warning. “Divine Intervention” is their third single of 2026, and it’s a left turn from whatever you thought you knew. This is not happy music. It’s heavy, dark, […]
Olina – Starstruck Simulation
Olina doesn’t do quiet. The Greek-born, London-based artist takes a swing at the fake, the filtered, and the endless noise on “Starstruck Simulation“, and she does it with a rock pulse beating under a synth-pop shell. They say she mixes cathartic indie rock with soft folk, and you can feel that tug-of-war from the first […]
Uncanny Valley Girls – 2 Vexed 2 Tired
London’s Uncanny Valley Girls have been kicking around the grassroots circuit since 2018, and their new single “2 Vexed 2 Tired” shows exactly why they’ve built a name for themselves. Frontman Michael Bissett leads the charge, backed by a rotating cast of friends who bring the noise. The title is a cheeky wink at the second Fast […]
Milkie – Crystal
Let’s get one thing straight: Milkie isn’t here to play by the rules, and “Crystal” is proof. This Bristol-based songwriter, real name Hannah Millie Phipps, has been pushing out tunes since she was a kid, and you can feel every bit of that history in this track. She grew up as the oldest of eight, surrounded by […]
Fading Signals – Eleven One
No games, no metaphors. Fading Signals wrote a love song, and they’re not sorry about it. “Eleven One” captures that stomach-drop moment when you realize you’re completely gone for someone and there’s no way back. The nerves, the late-night talks, finally spitting out what you feel, and then discovering they’re on the same page. That’s the whole […]
CREEPS – I will follow you
These Czech bruisers have been around since 2004, but they’re not resting on old glory. CREEPS went quiet for a long stretch, then came roaring back in 2026 with “Two Against The World.” Now they’re back again with “I Will Follow You,” and it’s a beast of a different colour. Still guitar-driven, still heavy, but this time […]
Blindness & Light – What Else?
There’s a band out there that doesn’t give a single damn about fitting into a neat little box, and they’ve got a new track called “What Else?” that proves it. This is Blindness & Light—a loose, sprawling collective that stretches from Anglesey to Yorkshire, with a few stragglers in Japan and Argentina. They’re not your typical […]
Grumbeaux – Now Is Near
There’s a documentary about Tim Z. Hernandez, a writer who spent over a decade chasing down the names of passengers who died in a California plane crash. Those folks were written off as “deportees” in newspapers, but Woody Guthrie turned their story into a poem that later became a song covered by Johnny Cash, Joan […]
Lawrence Timoni – Cheap Glass Halo
This one snuck up on me. Lawrence Timoni doesn’t come out swinging with a wall of distortion or a screaming chorus. Instead, he builds “Cheap Glass Halo” from the ground up using claps, snaps, and percussion tapped out on an acoustic guitar. It’s a stripped-back, almost skeletal start that slowly gets fleshed out with vibes, bass, and […]
John Muka Band – Bus Stop
There’s a weird kind of magic when a song written twenty years ago suddenly nails the exact mood of today. That’s exactly what John Muka Band has done with “Bus Stop.” This thing was penned back in the early 2000s, right in the thick of the fear and fog that followed September 11. Muka watched the world […]
Trude and Soldiers – Relic
Holy hell, this one’s a trip. Trude and Soldiers aren’t playing nice with genre boundaries, and “Relic” is a haunting, theatrical beast that drags you through a war museum like a ghost. Let me break it down for you. First, the setup. This avant-garde crew was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and they got their start […]
Drums For Clowns – Grave Concern
Alright, grab your headphones and brace yourself, because Drums For Clowns just dropped a track that’s gonna sit in your chest long after the last chord dies. These guys have been grinding for years, moving units by the millions and building a fanbase across Europe, North America, and Canada. They know how to write songs that don’t […]
