Ugochill joins forces with The Turtle Project to release a single that breaks down a lot of barriers in terms of combining genres together. The song comes through with an electronic undertone utilizing experimental but addictive sounding synthesizers, along with a vastness and great spacious overlay, and it isn't afraid to get a little bit heavy as well. The song definitely hits its rock moments with some heavier guitars and crunchy distortion, but even during those moments,

The self-titled album release from Built Bad is most certainly one of the more experimental rock records I've heard in a while, as it blends elements of pop, cinematic drive, folk and acoustic, heavy-handed rock overtones, and this set of outside the box songs that each sort of branch off into a bit of a different direction while the album as a whole, feels very consistent. The album starts with a track called "Walk With Me", and it's absolutely amazing in terms of introducin

I have to say, it's been quite some time since I heard a record that was able to blend alternative rock, grunge, folk rock, and indie rock, all together on one album, and when I came across the  Better Late Than Never  record from Pretty Late, not only did I find they pulled it off without a hitch, but the record also boasts a massive amount of character which is something I found myself getting attached to throughout its unfolding. This is a record that's not afraid to get h

A fresh single release from TheNightCry delivers a cinematic approach to alternative rock while bringing in some classic '90s undertones at the same time, driving presence, and a near-perfect blend of storytelling, edginess, and a little bit of vast undertone. One of the things I love most about "The Cut" is that it feels like it came from some real place. The lyrics feel completely authentic, and it feels totally like the singer is actually talking about someone in particula

A fresh single release from Khadi Lee manages to deliver a lot of truth, honesty, and personality along with incredibly smooth and soothing vocal approaches in the form of a heavy-handed R&B single that boasts such a vast and spacious undertone and atmosphere that you can't turn away from it.

A very vivacious new EP release from Nicole Ash just dropped, and this record certainly hits hard and all the places it needs to, boasting loads of honesty, inner thought, and emotion, but in a way that shapes the record into this heavy sort of pop-rock and punk opus.

I honestly can't say I've heard a better genre crossover than on the new EP from s, which blends a massive, colorful pop overcoat with a Southern underbelly that reaches into Americana and even country at times, and the combination is beautifully done and completely seamless. The artist shines and thrives with this relentless attitude,spirit, and energy that never lets up throughout the record, though there is plenty of honesty strewn throughout its course. The EP consists of

Yellow No.5 just released a new single that reaches into the depths of pop rock and serves as a sort of breakup track, just in time for Valentine's Day, and with enough charisma to catch your ear. This single showcases how the band is able to really portray a good depth of honesty while keeping things super catchy at the same time. This song really pops and has a great rhythm to it, and the guitar work is so bright, colorful, and not without its edginess either. "Be Mine" is

A new single from Jak Fiddler is like the musical depiction of an old western about a nomadic cowboy, riding on and on, trying to escape his demons. The way it all gets laid out throughout the song is outstanding, because it's so descriptive, and the music and instrumentation of everything follow suit so perfectly well to nail the aesthetic of that sort of outcast cowboy tonality and ideal. It's pretty amazing how the song tells the story of this man who just keeps writing on

A new single release from Iboreh serves as a call out to the world we live in today, with technology always tracking us, listening to us, and following our whereabouts. It's a song that displays the sentiment of just being tired of it. Wanting to disappear, live off the grid, or be anonymous. It's true. It's very hard to be anonymous in this day and age. Especially when we have phones in our pockets or our hands constantly, cameras watching our movements from street lights, a

A new single from Sherise breeds quite a bit of honesty in the form of a bright, colorful, and deep grooved, dance pop single with lots of cultural flair and plenty of drive.

One of the things I love most about this track is that it is actually about rising up from a bad situation. It's about o

A beautifully theatrical style release from Crash World delivers such an honest testament to personal struggle that it's hard to turn away from. The song delves pretty deep from a very personal perspective, and it's this kind of robust honesty that gives it as much character and personality as it actually has. The song itself feels sort of sad, and its melodies are also lush and sort of colorful in their performances and textures. You can tell this is a song that was influenc

A new release from Amanda & James just dropped, and this track portrays such a great sentiment when it comes to relationships. Even though they know they're not making a comeback anytime soon, it's very light-hearted, and it focuses on such a great storyline between two people that sort of know things have ended, and they're not making that come back, but it's okay. I definitely dig the sentiment because it speaks volumes for the duo and how they're able to be open in terms o

Lyrically, there is almost always very little being held back. At times yo

A new release from The Victim manages to pull together a lot of classic influence while bringing in a warm and welcoming pop rock approach. I feel like the classic rock influence comes from artists like Springsteen because the tracks have this sort of particular tonality to them in terms of the guitars, and the way the vocals are performed as well. "This Town" is the main single of focus and does give such a story, told with some amazing detail, so that you can sort of paint

Fake Mannequin just dropped a new single, and this thing really reaches into the depths of alternative pop, with super spacious, ambient underbellies and just the right amount of edginess and Intrigue to sound super alluring.

I spent the weekend with One Voice , and it revealed itself gradually, the way records used to before everything was optimized for quick hits and instant hooks. Don’t Blink operates in a space that feels deliberately out of step with contemporary pop. The sound is lo fi without leaning into irony, organic without polishing away its rough edges. What immediately stood out to me was how singular the aesthetic is. This does not resemble much of what is circulating right now, and

An album from Those Who recently dropped, and the record blends what I would consider cinematic rock with alternative, indie, and more. This is a very robust record that does have certain tracks that boast some emotional backbone, and the guitar work is absolutely outstanding throughout the entire thing. The album is called Solace, and its first track, "Spineless (Inter Alia)", doesn't waste much time getting straight to the point by delivering some of that cinematic drive I

“Fire in the Madhouse” marks a subtle but meaningful shift in Ryan Kotler’s songwriting, one that trades looseness for clarity without sanding down his voice. The song leans into a more straightforward alt-country framework, but it never feels rigid or overly formalized. Instead, it carries a sense of confidence, as if Kotler knows exactly what the song needs and refuses to add anything extraneous. The arrangement is warm and unforced. Guitars sit slightly fuzzy around the ed

The new album from REXEN is finally here and this is one of the most eclectic and beautifully woven pieces of work I've heard in a long time, combining elements of theatrical and cinematic folk, with all kinds of added common natural instrumentation, and wonderful approaches to lyrics, storytelling, and detail.

A new album release from Dramatist just dropped, and this record encompasses and embodies so many different forms of cinematic, heavy rock, hinting towards post-punk but leaning war on the alternative rock side of things, always keeping a semi-vast underbelly and delivering this big Sonic presence.

If you are looking to get that edgy post-punk fix, then I have just the record for you. Corpus Delicti recently released an album riddled with amazing bass guitar tone, classic and vast underbellies, and that sort of dark, almost brooding aesthetic that comes with most vintage and fresh pop-punk approaches.
