Dover-based alternative artist quinn bailey returns with “Glass Castle”, a haunting and emotionally charged single that cements their place among the most compelling emerging voices in the UK’s introspective alt scene. Blending post-punk urgency with the shimmering melancholy of shoegaze, Bailey crafts a soundscape that feels both brittle and immense — a space where wounds echo, and healing begins in the quietest corners. Born from solitude and shaped entirely in-house, writt

Produced by Francesco Arpino, the track blends melancholic pop with heartfelt lyricis

ACE MEDA4’s debut album 'Life / Stories' doesn’t announce itself with theatrics, it arrives with the quiet confidence of an artist who knows exactly who he is and what he wants to say. Based in Fredericksburg, Virginia but shaped by his Long Island roots, ACE presents a body of work that pairs lived experience with a sharp understanding of the genre’s evolution. He’s not chasing trends; he’s contributing to a conversation that started decades before and continues to grow up w

Following a string of bold anthems like 'HUSH', 'Afterlife', and 'neckdeep', alt-pop powerhouse Charlotte Sands returns with 'one eye open', a raw and cathartic track about the moment you choose peace over chaos. Laced with her signature mix of emotional intensity, hook-heavy choruses, and fearless honesty, the song dives deep into the reckoning that love shouldn’t feel like survival. Known for transforming vulnerability into empowerment, Charlotte continues to blaze her own

Reading alternative trio doops arrive at their debut full-length with the confidence, curiosity, and raw inventiveness of a band who have already lived several musical lives. The Space Between , out 28th November, is a record that crystallises everything the group have spent years quietly building: a swirling collision of psychedelic rock, punk bite, and indie introspection, threaded together by a fiercely DIY ethos and a newfound emotional weight. The album’s formation refle

D'chrome Foster’s latest single “Right Now” featuring BBass feels like walking straight into the chaos and thrill of a cinematic night out. From the first beat, the track sets a mood that is lively, impulsive, and packed with personality. It is clear Foster is tapping into his R&B and hip hop roots, but he does it with a looseness and charm that make this release stand out. The song builds around a moment many listeners will recognise. Foster steps into a club feeling fresh a

Dublin singer-songwriter KK Lewis is making a quiet but powerful return with 'Pigeon Man', a piano-driven ballad out November 27th. The single marks the start of a new chapter for the artist, exploring the emotional terrain of early adulthood, those moments when innocence fades and the realities of love and friendship become sharper. KK first gained attention in 2021, when Hot Press named her "One to Watch". Her debut EP Dreaming established her as one of Ireland’s most pro

Cheshire’s genre-blurring four-piece The Zangwills return with 'Drawing From Memory', an electrifying new cut born from a flash of inspiration and fuelled by instinct. Originally not even meant to be recorded, the track was written just a week before a scheduled studio session, but quickly stole the spotlight. The band made a last-minute call to scrap a previously planned song and capture this one instead. That decision pays off. 'Drawing From Memory' is urgent, anthemic, and

With “Mamacita,” Scottish producer AKIRAH reasserts his command over the heavier end of bass music, delivering a bruising riddim anthem that manages to feel both combustible and deliberately sculpted. The opening motif—an intriguing blend of Latino flair and UK drill sensibility—sets a taut atmosphere, as though the track is holding its breath before plunging into a maelstrom of sub-shaking bass and razor-edged synth work. Subtlety is not the point here; AKIRAH intends for ev

Frankie 5Ø3 is back with “P0C0 A P0C0,” a track that feels instantly warm and breezy on the surface, yet carries a real emotional sting once you lean in. The Virginia artist, who proudly represents his Salvadoran roots, has been carving out a lane where bilingual songwriting, identity and vulnerability naturally coexist. This single continues that path with confidence and personality. “P0C0 A P0C0” glows with sunlit production built on clean guitar lines, mellow synths and a

Multi-hyphenate artist, producer, and engineer James Laurent charges straight into the turbulence of desire with his explosive new single, “Dangerous Love.” Equal parts pop-punk adrenaline and pop precision, the track is a tight, high-voltage burst of emotion that showcases Laurent’s rare ability to marry grit with gloss and make it feel effortless. Created entirely overnight in his bedroom studio, “Dangerous Love” captures the dizzying extremes of infatuation. It’s the kind

Following the introspective 'Fear Bangs The Drum', singer-songwriter Tessa Rose Jackson returns with the gentle, reflective new single 'By Morning', a stripped-back folk song born from the heat of an argument and the quiet clarity that often follows. Written in real time during a disagreement with her partner, 'By Morning' explores the stubborn tug-of-war between ego and empathy. With soft acoustic textures and an unfiltered emotional core, the track captures that all-too-hum

New York alt-pop artist B.Miles returns to the raw emotional terrain that first defined her breakout, revisiting the wounds of 2015 with piercing new single '+1'. Ten years after her debut EP 'Twenty Fifteen' and the viral success of 'Salt', she picks at the threads of a love that was never really hers to hold. '+1\' is a slow burn of late-night vulnerability, where fleeting intimacy blurs into emotional self-erasure. “If you want fake, I can fake it right,” she sings, her vo

Dublin’s Big Sleep continue building momentum for their debut album 'Holy Show' with the release of their latest single 'Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo', a lively detour from the band’s usual introspective sound. Self-described as a “doo wop/rockabilly break-up tune,” the track finds Big Sleep leaning into playful energy and classic pop stylings while retaining the emotional weight and lyrical charm that have become their signature. It’s a surprising, infectious moment that hints at the

Bay Area singer-songwriter selena feliciano continues her journey of reflective folk storytelling with new single 'Desert’s Calling', a sun-soaked meditation on solitude, ancestry, and the pull of memory.

Written during a solo bike trip through the Southwest, the song blends raw imagery with a grounded spiritualism, painting th

K A T R I N A makes music for the late hours, the ones where your chest is tight, the room is dim, and the only thing keeping you standing is the beat beneath your feet. With her new single 'Different Life', the Asheville alt-R&B shapeshifter folds sorrow into something warm and liquid, creating a track that feels like watching someone you love disappear through a doorway you knew they’d never walk back through. What sets K A T R I N A apart, even this early in her career, is
