Ellecielles – Living Twice
You need to get “Living Twice” by Ellecielles pumping through your speakers right now. The mastermind behind the moniker Ellecielles is a one-man army named Matty, operating out of his home studio in Veneto, Italy. For six years, this dude has been a one-man music factory, embodying the true, DIY spirit of rock. We’re talking zero-budget, maximum passion. He […]
Sean MacLeod – I Know Not
Sean MacLeod—the Scarriff-born, Dublin-hardened former axe-man and founding member of the acclaimed band Cisco—is back. On December 5th, 2025, he dropped “I Know Not,” a lead single from his impending fifth solo slab, ‘That’s When the Earth Becomes a Star.’ So what’s the riff? He calls it “experimental indie pop,” but that’s selling the grit short. […]
Highroad No.28 – Thistroubledsoul
Strap in and turn it up. Way up. From the land down under comes a noise that’s less of a song and more of a seismic event. Highroad No. 28 is back, and their second single, “Thistroubledsoul,” is an unfiltered excavation of the psyche, distributed with the might of The Orchard (Sony Music). This is a track built in the […]
Anana Kaye – Cordelia
Nashville’s not just about twang and tears anymore—it’s about to get a seismic, transatlantic shockwave courtesy of Anana Kaye. With her debut single “Cordelia,” lifted from the impending album ‘Are You There?,’ this Georgian-born force of nature doesn’t only enter the room; she kicks down the door with a boot heel made of truth and […]
Knabokov Collective – Borderline: Chaos at the Border
The Knabokov Collective, spearheaded by the fierce Patrick Costello, isn’t here to serenade you to sleep. Hell no. They’re here to grab you by the collar with their re-released powerhouse, “Borderline: Chaos at the Border.” At the front of this sonic assault is Patrick Costello. His voice is the command centre—powerful, intense, and utterly controlled, delivering […]
ReeToxA – Insta Life Donna
ReeToxA is lobbing a grenade right into the polite silence of the modern alternative scene. “Insta Life Donna,” a standout hidden gem from their debut album Pines Salad, is raw, personal fury into a track that’s irresistibly catchy and brutally honest. This thing has synth, pounding drums, and great guitar/bass. But that description doesn’t do justice to the […]
Wuzy Bambussy – Little Lion
The West Country’s best-kept secret, Wuzy Bambussy, just dropped a face-melter. “Little Lion,” the lead single from their impending debut LP The Ghost & The Rhythm, is perfect. Nikolai Jones, the architect behind the boards, builds a track that’s all muscle and shadow. Forget quaint nostalgia; this is a driving, pulsating rhythm section that feels like a […]
Pesky Kid – Holy Light
Pesky Kid just dropped “Holy Light,” and if you think this is just another gentle alt-indie sigh, you’re not listening hard enough. This track is the kind that fuels the best rock—wrapping a fist of real emotion in a velvet glove of lush sound. It’s bittersweet, it’s self-aware, and it’s got more layers than a stadium […]
Moon Construction Kit – Chemicals
From the shadowy depths of Lausanne comes a one-man audio assault that’s about to hijack your speakers and your nervous system. Moon Construction Kit, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist warlock Olivier Cornu, is dropping “Chemicals” on December 5, and it’s a punch of pure, uncut “Power-Goth-Pop.” Olivier Cornu is the singer, the writer, the guitarist, the […]
Blindness & Light – Fly Paper
Blindness & Light just dropped “Fly Paper,” a gnarly, retro-fueled garage-punk rager. This is the track of a band—or more accurately, a fiercely independent collective—plugging in, turning up, and directing the revolutionary spirit of the ’60s Nuggets compilations straight into the modern era. It’s a dysfunctional love song for a dysfunctional world, and it’s absolutely brilliant. […]
Nick Neumann – Our Time Starts Now
Just when you thought guitar-driven rock had been polished into submission by algorithm-chasing trends, a lone wolf from Grand Rapids, Michigan, emerges from the shadows to drop unadulterated rage and resolve. Nick Neumann is taking your attention by force with his latest single, “Our Time Starts Now.” This guy is the real, independent deal. The […]
Fierbinteanu – Merrymaking
Let’s talk about this new slab of digital defiance from Fierbinteanu. Their latest cut, “Merrymaking“, is a neon-lit, synth-powered bulldozer aimed squarely at the ivory towers. First off, let’s meet the architects of this beautiful noise. Fierbinteanu is the brainchild of Gabriela and Cristian Fierbinteanu. These two aren’t messing around in a basement; they’re seasoned […]
