It’s the kind of single that grabs you by the collar and immediately tells you you're in for something loud, something restless, and something dripping in that unmistakable, grimy London charm.

There’s a kind of ache that only comes from being unseen, that quiet devastation of standing inches away from someone and realising they’ll never really know you.

Tasmania’s own Verticoli return with 'Silverlinings', the sound of a decade’s worth of noise, growth, and raw energy distilled into one tightly wound, twelve-track surge of heavy rock. It’s been a long road since their emergence, but this album picks up where they left off and blows the doors off everything that came before. What’s immediately striking about 'Silverlinings' is how enormous it sounds for a three-piece. Every note and hit of the snare feels intentional, giving

Oakland’s Naomi Neva doesn’t do heartbreak the easy way. On her latest single 'This Is Over', she burns the bridge, lights a cigarette from the ashes, and walks away smiling.

From its first serrated guitar riff, 'This Is Over' makes its intentions clear. The production is unapologetically raw, matching Neva’s emotional charge beat for beat. The guitars

With his eagerly-awaited new single 'Sleepwalker', Manchester’s Ben Heyworth proves that some songs simply wait for the right moment to emerge.

With their newest outing 'Rosie', Your Best Nightmare come crashing back through the speakers like a confetti cannon aimed at your insecurities. It’s loud, fearless, and gloriously messy, the kind of song that takes your inner chaos and dares you to dance with it instead of hiding it away. In a culture obsessed with perfect smiles and filtered emotions, this track feels like a glorious middle finger raised to the algorithm. From the very first strum, that unmistakable ukulele

'Rinse and Repeat', the irresistible new collaboration between Nashville’s Kelsey Blackstone and Austin soulsmith Tobias Lund, is a silky, sunlit groove built for late nights, hazy mornings, and all the hopeful confusion in between.

In a city whose musical history looms as large as its skyline, Seattle’s La Need Machine have managed to carve out a corner of their own, one rooted in reverence but bursting with renewal. Their latest single 'Rock and Roll Show' is both a celebration and a confession to the very pulse of rock itself. It’s joyful, tongue-in-cheek, and full of heart, a reminder that for some of us, the truest relationship we’ve ever had might just be with a guitar riff. From the first downbeat

Frontwoman Zora delivers each line with raw honesty, her voice carrying the weight of lived experience. Emerging with a piano at the centre like an anchor in a storm, surrounded by haunting strings, l

Every so often, an artist releases a record that feels like a living, breathing entity. And 'Carpe Diem', the new release from Dutch-American artist Chellcy Reitsma, is exactly that, a deeply felt work that fuses the sensuality of blues, the drama of rock, and the delicate intimacy of folk into one immersive experience. Reitsma is a storyteller, a performer, and a force of nature. Her smoky and magnetic voice alone could fill a theatre, often trembling with vulnerability, but

You can sense her global perspective in the way she blends textures, as acoustic guitars gently underscore electronic rhythms, with whispers of gospe

Luan Luan’s 'Yellow' radiates warmth from the very first note. It's the kind of track that spills out through speakers and fills the room like sunlight. The Brighton-based artist, originally from Madrid, channels their synaesthetic connection to sound and colour into a song that feels alive with motion, memory, and unguarded emotion. It’s the sound of love in bloom and fleeting summer days that leave an indelible mark long after they’ve passed. The single tells the story of t

Sabina Beyli doesn’t hold back; not in her voice, not in her songwriting, and certainly not in her emotions. With her new single 'Bad Habits', the 22-year-old alt-pop firebrand proves that honesty and vulnerability can hit harder than any guitar riff. It’s a track that snarls and sighs in equal measure, inviting us into the messy middle ground between growth and regression, where self-awareness doesn’t always mean self-control.
