Sean MacLeod – Take Control (Don’t Let ‘Em)
After getting a bit experimental and artsy with his last single, Dublin’s own Sean MacLeod reminds us exactly why he cut his teeth in the 90s indie scene with the legendary Cisco. “Take Control (Don‘t Let ’Em)” is an explosion of everything we love about the genre. This feels like it was cut live in […]
The Vigilante – Get You Through
If you’ve been starving for a track like a shot of whiskey chased with a lightning bolt, The Vigilante just delivered the goods. The cinematic synth-rock architect is back with “Get You Through,” dropping January 30 on all major platforms, and this is the kind of tune that finds you at 2 a.m. staring at […]
The Trusted – Spin
Look, we’ve sat through enough landfill indie and copy-paste pop-punk to last ten lifetimes. But every once in a while, a track comes along that kicks the door down and refuses to shut up until you’re paying attention. The Trusted have just dropped that track. “Spin” hit since Wednesday February 18th on all platforms, and Southend-on-Sea’s […]
Pearl Project – Poetry in Motion
If you’ve been sleeping on Pearl Project, now’s the time to wake the hell up. This isn’t your regular romantic pop tune dressed up in soft synth and whispery vocals. Nah. This is “Poetry in Motion,” and they took this track to the zenith of good music. Let’s rewind a second. Pearl Project ain’t new […]
Anette Ähdel – Whispered Walls
“Whispered Walls” by Anette Ähdel won’t get out of our skulls. And we don’t want it to. This is a woman who cut her teeth fronting Yesterday’s Gone—a real-deal local rock band that’s sweat it out on actual stages, not just bedroom laptops. She’s been penning lyrics and co-writing tunes for that outfit long enough […]
Studious B – About Me
Studious B just dropped the single of the year with “About Me”, and we’re not being polite about it. Brian C. Taylor—writer, filmmaker, and the man behind the band—has been walking the edge for years. His last record, Death is a Dancer, was raw, angry, and bleeding at the seams. But this time? He brought in the secret […]
The Lovely Sparrows – Edge of the Collapse
Austin, Texas has turned out some heavy hitters over the years, but The Lovely Sparrows? Man, they’ve been flying under the radar for way too long. Two decades deep, and with their new single “Edge of the Collapse” — the opening salvo from the upcoming album I Still Picture You Running — they just proved that “avant-folk” […]
Hana Piranha – Valentine
Most bands who try to write about “destructive romance” end up sounding like they just got dumped at a Starbucks and decided to plug in an acoustic guitar. That is not what’s happening here. Hana Piranha just ripped the door off its hinges with “Valentine.” This thing SLAMS. This isn’t some moody bedroom pop confession. This is a […]
Anana Kaye – There Is A War
Some songs don’t plead for your attention. They actually demand it. “There Is A War” by Anana Kaye isn’t merely a cover—it’s a takeover. And if you’ve got any sense, you’ll surrender on the first listen. Leonard Cohen’s catalogue is hallowed ground. You don’t step on it lightly. But Kaye? She doesn’t tiptoe. She plants a flag. This ain’t […]
Mohawk Castle – Music from a Cloud
Let me paint a picture for you. It’s just a guy. A living room. A decade of grinding it out in Downtown LA. That’s the whole operation behind Mohawk Castle, and you HAVE to know—Erik David Hidde has been sitting on something massive. “Music from a Cloud” dropped February 6th, 2026, and if this single is any […]
Blindness & Light – Just A Few Milligrams
The music scene is drowning in copycats and algorithm-friendly slop. Then there’s Blindness & Light. This sprawling, border-hopping collective just unleashed “Just A Few Milligrams,” the second taste of their third album, and it’s a snarling, glorious middle finger to the blandness. First, who the hell are these people? Blindness & Light is a loose, informal gang of […]
LunaRover – Little Things
Strap in. LunaRover—the brainchild of Maryland-based Kevin Rieth and Ben Pelletier—is about to launch your ears into the stratosphere with their upcoming single “Little Things,” dropping February 5th, 2026. This is a DIY-space-rock mission built in basement studios, and it’s got more texture than a battered guitar case. Let’s talk crew. Kevin Rieth handles vocals, […]
