There is often a temptation when writing about loss to search for grand revelations or definitive answers. But what makes 'Resolution' so effective is its understanding that life rarely works that way. Instead of offering straight conclusions, Every Other Weekend's Chris Bull presents a moment of reflection shaped by grief, change and the slow process of learning to live alongside both. As the third single from the forthcoming debut album 'All Present and Inept', 'Resolution'

When musicians announce that a new song is “cinematic,” the word can feel empty. Rodrigo y Gabriela’s “Monster” earns the description in a far more concrete way. The track is inspired by Naoki Urasawa’s manga Monster, and its video was created by Urasawa himself. That makes the single feel like a genuine conversation between sound and image. The release introduces OurHome, Rodrigo y Gabriela’s forthcoming album, due September 18 via ATO Records. Recorded in Japan at NK Sound

There is a moment in every artist’s life when the subjects that once fuelled their work begin to lose their gravitational pull. And for Spottiswoode, a songwriter long fascinated by complicated relationships, romantic collapse and life’s darker corners, that moment appears to have arrived in the form of fatherhood. The result is 'It Wasn’t In The Script', a deeply personal and wonderfully unpredictable collection that may be his most affecting work to date. Built around twelv

Some releases arrive with grand ambitions and sweeping statements, while others quietly invite us into a conversation. The debut EP from Telford-based songwriter SI-KEY belongs firmly in the latter category, offering a reflective collection rooted in personal experience while exploring themes that will feel familiar to many. Created almost entirely alone and recorded using modest home equipment, 'The Colours' demonstrates how compelling songwriting can often matter more than

NEWS: Back with a 6-track juggernaut, Same Planet, Different Worlds is Greet The Chief's latest, and most promising endeavour yet. Described by Gavin Davies, the individual behind the project as being his truest work to date, he says "Authenticity is at the heart of my work." “What you hear is what you get” Gavin states, and what we're getting is a truely throwback record, with euphoric writing, fully-loaded production and the EP acts as a smoking gun for one of the best arti

There are moments on Killian Walsh’s new single ‘Let’s Play Bongos’ that feel more like a memory resurfacing. Not a perfectly preserved one, but a fleeting flash of warmth: firelight flickering against the night sky, strangers dancing without inhibition, and the brief sensation of forgetting the weight you’ve been carrying. Taken from his forthcoming album 'Ise', ‘Let’s Play Bongos’ arrives as a striking contrast to the reflective emotional terrain that has shaped much of the

There is a rare confidence in restraint that many artists spend years trying to master. And on his latest effort ‘Taken’, Third Bloom demonstrates exactly that, delivering a piece of music that derives its power from patience, atmosphere, and emotional precision. The Brighton-based artist has built a reputation for creating immersive worlds, and ‘Taken’ may be one of the most compelling examples yet, allowing tension and atmosphere to accumulate with quiet determination. From

On their newest outing ‘Dead Water and the Seeds of Despair’, Until They Burn Me deliver a piece of music that seems to emerge from somewhere older, stranger, and far less comfortable than the modern world. Built around an atmosphere of ritualistic tension and looming inevitability, the track blurs the boundaries between folk tradition, dark Americana, and something far more primal. The project, formed by longtime collaborators Cody Carlyle and Travis Jordan, carries the weig

Few artists are able to balance grit and grace with the ease of Celeste Marie Wilson. And on her latest single ‘Willow’, the Texas-based singer-songwriter delivers one of her most emotionally resonant releases to date, crafting a song that feels deeply rooted in Southern tradition while speaking directly to modern experiences of resilience, friendship, and personal growth. Arriving ahead of her forthcoming album, ‘Willow’ finds the artist leaning fully into the storytelling s

Brisbane shoegaze outfit Fragile Animals have announced their forthcoming six-track EP, Dead Stop - an atmospheric, emotionally resonant and impactful collection that captures the emotional fallout, uncertainty, and hard-won resilience that followed a landmark period for the band. Produced by Elliot Heinrich, Dead Stop was written in the wake of Fragile Animals’ breakthrough 2025 EP Tourist and their first-ever UK and European tour. The ambitious 14-date run took the band acr

Paris-based artist Rabbit has a gun has shared the new single ‘Cherry Wine’, a powerful release that blends gothic influences with alternative rock and melodic metal textures. Built around themes of longing and unresolved emotion, the track explores the aftermath of a connection that never found a clear ending. Rather than focusing on anger or blame, ‘Cherry Wine’ captures the lingering uncertainty that can remain when feelings go unanswered. The artist describes the song as

Some songs arrive exactly when they are needed because they remind us that hope can still exist in the middle of uncertainty. And Jennifer Tefft & The Strange capture that feeling beautifully on 'Silver', a soaring alternative rock anthem that transforms everyday turmoil into something defiant, uplifting, and undeniably exhilarating. From its opening moments, 'Silver' feels like a band operating with complete confidence in their collective identity. Built around an infectious

There is something wonderfully timeless about Sean T MacLeod’s songwriting. While much of contemporary music chases trends and fleeting moments, MacLeod continues to draw from a deeper well, crafting songs that feel connected to the rich tradition of classic pop while remaining unmistakably his own. And his latest single 'Light Up the Sun' is another shining example of that enduring approach. Released alongside the momentum surrounding his latest album 'That’s When the Earth

In an era where so much guitar music seems consumed by cynicism, anxiety, and disillusionment, Brook Fox arrives with something refreshingly different. His debut EP 'Everybody’s In Love' is a vibrant and emotionally charged collection that looks directly at the challenges of modern life but chooses hope over despair, and optimism over defeat. Across four carefully crafted tracks, he proves himself to be more than just another emerging indie-rock songwriter. There is a genuine

In an era where many bands borrow from the past, The Chelsea Curve stand out by truly inhabiting their influences. On The Rideout, the Boston trio channels decades of mod, punk, and power-pop history into a collection of songs that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly vibrant. It's an album that celebrates movement, community, and the enduring power of a great melody. The band's chemistry is immediately apparent. Having spent years honing their sound through constant touring

Some releases feel like they were written for late-night drives beneath flickering streetlights. While others sound like the soundtrack to a long conversation about life’s biggest questions after everyone else has gone home. 'Evil in This World', the debut EP from Houston duo Mr. Charisma, somehow manages to be both. Born from a shared love of thoughtful songwriting, noir storytelling, and the philosophical undercurrents of True Detective, this four-song EP sees longtime frie

On Change, Katie Dauson sounds like an artist fully in conversation with her musical influences while simultaneously defining her own legacy. The Richmond Hill singer-songwriter has spent years developing a style rooted in timeless songwriting, and this eighth studio album captures her at a particularly reflective and creatively liberated stage in her career. Working once again with producer James Nickle, Dauson constructs an album filled with rich musical textures and nostal

With “Necessary Evil,” MIIA proves that emotional storytelling and electronic music can coexist beautifully. The single merges UK garage-inspired rhythms, glossy electronic textures, and emotionally charged songwriting into a track that feels equally built for headphones and dancefloors. It’s dark, addictive, and filled with late-night energy. The production is sleek and atmospheric, driven by punchy basslines and fast-moving percussion that give the song a restless pulse. Ye

Some songs feel written in a moment, while others feel earned over a lifetime. Allan Jamisen’s latest single 'Closing In' belongs firmly in the latter category, carrying the weight of decades of reflection while unfolding with the immediacy of a fresh wound. The Phoenix-based artist has built a reputation for creating music that exists somewhere between introspective songwriting, cinematic soundscapes, and experimental pop, but 'Closing In' may be his most affecting work yet.

There's a certain kind of band that thrives on volume, swagger, and nostalgia. Then there is Trickshooter Social Club, a group that understands those things are only truly powerful when paired with something deeper. And on their latest EP 'Porchlight Pie', the Chicago outfit deliver a collection that feels equally at home in a smoke-filled bar, on a dusty backroad, or at the centre of a national conversation. Built on a foundation of roots rock, country soul, garage grit, and
