The story of TRIPI’s forthcoming album Close to Fire began with one family’s loss, but it has continued to grow through the participation of other families, musicians, and caregivers. The latest single, a cover of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Life Without You,” captures that expansion in a particularly direct way. Tony Tripi created the album after his grandson Roman died one day after his birth. The project became a way to approach grief through rock and soul music, while also open

Cam Cole has built his reputation on making one person sound like an entire band collapsing into life at once. With guitar, foot percussion and a voice carrying equal amounts of grit and conviction, he has turned street performance into something closer to a controlled combustion. And on his latest single ‘Get Up Ya Honky Tonk’, that familiar force remains intact, but it is pushed into a broader and more colourful musical world. The first single from his forthcoming album 'Lo

Nathan Coutts’ debut album 'The Ordinary Instant' is built from moments that might otherwise pass without ceremony. Across ten tracks, the Melbourne/Naarm singer-songwriter examines brief encounters, emotional departures and the places that remain attached to memory long after a journey has ended. The record draws from alternative folk, soul and R&B, but its strongest characteristic is restraint. The artist avoids crowding the songs with unnecessary production, instead relyin

There's something fittingly unpolished about 'Underground Potato'. Recorded by Geelong artist Carly O’Dwyer in the spare room of her home, the album draws strength from the conditions it was made in, presenting a body of work shaped by instinct, privacy and the freedom to follow an idea before it becomes overly refined. Released under her solo project Moons Poet, the record moves through questions of mental health, love, political unease and recovery without forcing those con

Norwegian artist MIIA has unveiled her debut album Huldra, an emotionally rich collection that blends alternative pop with Scandinavian mythology to tell a story of transformation, resilience, and self acceptance. Spanning thirteen tracks, the album presents her most expansive creative vision to date while showcasing the distinctive sound that has earned her a devoted international following. Produced by Benjamin Dan Ravn Fahre and Joachim JR Rygg, Huldra combines pop, indie

Marsha Swanson’s “Something Real” is a captivating blend of storytelling, emotion and musical artistry. From its opening moments, the song creates a sense of invitation — drawing listeners into a world where imagination is celebrated and feelings are given space to breathe. It is a graceful introduction to TroubleChutes, a project built around creativity, compassion and connection. The song’s greatest beauty lies in its understanding of childhood wonder while speaking to some

There's a quiet bravery at the heart of GOHAR's music. Instead of constructing elaborate fictional worlds or hiding behind metaphor for its own sake, she writes from lived experience, allowing deeply personal reflections to become something unexpectedly universal. And on her new single ‘Fairy’, that approach reaches one of its most affecting expressions, creating an alt-pop ballad that feels like an intimate act of emotional archaeology. The title initially suggests folklore,

There's an unhurried confidence running through 'Trouble in Mind'. Sophie Moore’s return to recording doesn't look to reclaim lost time or recreate an earlier version of herself. Instead, the Sussex singer-songwriter presents ten songs shaped by experience, restraint and the quiet conviction that creativity can resume whenever the moment is right. Her esteemed history stretches back to the 1980s, when she toured with London indie group Foggy Cry before developing her own work

It begins in a room. No production team. No band waiting for instructions. No outside voice suggesting that the chorus should arrive earlier or that the guitars need to sound cleaner. Just Greg Zucker, a collection of instruments, and a set of emotions that needed somewhere to go. That origin is essential to understanding 'Fading'. The EP wasn't initially conceived as a public statement, and it doesn't carry the calculated shape of something designed to fit a campaign. Its fi

Siren Call continue to sharpen their alternative rock identity with 'Hello Stranger', a brooding and emotionally resonant single that effortlessly balances grunge-inspired grit with melodic sophistication. The Vienna-based trio delivers a rich, atmospheric sound built on haunting vocal melodies, expansive guitars and a commanding rhythm section, creating a track that feels both cinematic and immediate. While nodding to the spirit of '90s alternative rock, the band's songwriti

CATLEA’s new single 'Someone’s Got To' is a deeply personal reflection on recovery, self-acceptance and the difficult process of learning to choose yourself. The London-based singer-songwriter, originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, returns with their most emotionally revealing release to date, offering the first glimpse into their forthcoming EP Aftermath. Known for their restless creativity and genre-spanning approach, CATLEA has built a catalogue that moves between alternative

Steve Stinson's Fly Away is the kind of song that reminds listeners why Americana continues to resonate across generations. Built on honest storytelling, warm instrumentation and an unwavering sense of optimism, the latest single from his forthcoming debut album Cocoon is a heartfelt reflection on change, belonging and the quiet transformations that shape a life well lived. Having spent decades refining his songwriting while living between the United States, Australia and, mo

There is a point in every great night when the future temporarily stops mattering. The room narrows to movement, noise and the people directly in front of you, while everything waiting beyond the moment becomes briefly irrelevant. And on his newest offering ‘Light It Up Tonight’, Canadian artist Cael Anton captures that sensation with a propulsive blend of guitars, electronic textures and dancefloor energy. Taken from his new album 'Last Night In The City', the single is buil

On their latest offering ‘Strident’, experimental collective GLEET take aim at a term repeatedly deployed to diminish outspoken women, building a pointed and darkly comic piece from sampled voices, fractured rhythms and the simmering anger created by a double standard that refuses to disappear. The single emerged during work on the group’s forthcoming album 'Thames Sea', a conceptual record imagining London gradually submerged by rising water. It ultimately sat outside that p

Trad songs endure because they leave room for a return. Their melodies pass between voices, places, and generations, gathering new meanings without losing the ache that first made them worth carrying. And on her newest offering ‘Black Is The Colour’, Layla Kaylif approaches one of folk music’s most familiar ballads as a living story still capable of change. Her version retains the song’s emotional foundations while introducing newly written passages that draw the narrative cl

With 'We Can't Come Back', Oceans Of Oceans continues to carve out a distinctive space where alternative rock, electronic ambience and cinematic songwriting naturally converge. Rich in atmosphere and emotional nuance, the single demonstrates an artist who understands that impact often comes from carefully controlled dynamics rather than constant intensity. The track begins with shimmering guitar lines before gradually unfolding into a layered arrangement that moves effortless

There's a striking sense of restraint running through ‘someone’. Rather than relying on dramatic production or obvious emotional cues, D.O.S.E sound builds the single around absence of certainty, resolution and, most importantly, connection. The result is an understated electronic pop piece that explores loneliness with honesty, leaving enough space for us to find our own experiences within it. The anonymous Western Australian artist has made anonymity central to the project,

Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Spotify For anyone just discovering Scrimshaw Porn, ‘Epilogue’ is quite an introduction. It doesn’t sound like what people might expect from you? Maybe, but aprapos, I think. I do agree that turning rage into a dance track is not typical and maybe even contradictory but like most people with the observation skills of a 7 year old or better, I’m so fucking angry with the Epstein-Trump cover up, I needed to vent. These are young women and child

Washing Machina waste no time easing us into 'Before My Mind Wakes Up'. Their second album arrives in a rush of distorted guitars, irresistible melodies and nervous energy, immediately establishing the Stockholm four-piece as a band ready to push every part of their sound further. Where debut album 'The Spontaneous Splendid' examined the disorientation of life from the outside, this follow-up dives directly into the mind. Its songs confront destructive habits, obsessive thoug

Visibility can be liberating, but it can also be frightening. To be fully seen means allowing other people access to the parts of ourselves that have often been hidden for safety, protection or survival. But on ‘TYLO’, Brighton artist Kaia Fincher explores that tension through a slow-burning piece of electronic pop that grows steadily from private uncertainty into quiet resolve. The title stands for ‘Turn Your Light On’, a phrase that functions as both encouragement and emoti
