A wonderfully composed new album from Maudits delivers a very lush soundscape and progressive rock approach that breeds cinematic backbone and this enormous atmosphere that you end up getting pulled into right from the start. This is an album that gives you a lot to chew on, especially in the way of guitar work, aesthetic, and robust, spacious tonality that feels engulfing in all of the best ways. The  In Situ  album kicks things off with a track called "Leftovers", which dis

Staytus returns with a new single that breeds one of the most edgy releases she's had to date with robust and edgy guitars flowing throughout the veins of the song, heavy-handed percussion and drums, slamming and giving the song a massive overdrive, and vocals that come through alluring and all of it boasts a bit of honesty along with the powerful punch to create something that has an alternative pop atmosphere, all performed with a heavy hand. "The God, The Artist, & The Cre

A brand new EP release from Matt Harper brings together some of the best elements of cinematic and spacious electronic and indie-pop tonalities with expansive synths and keys, along with these open and sort of freeing percussive approaches, lending a hand to classic electronic music but giving things that pop overtone and breeding a soundscape that you can get swallowed up by. Of course, I mean this in the best way possible. This is a record that you're getting golfed in quic

Join us for a second interview with the amazing Katy Tunbridge as we talk about new music, her process, and submitting songs for Grammy nomination! This is one you will learn a lot about submitting for Grammys, recording, and so much more!

Katy is an artist who has put music on the forefront and made it one of the biggest

Bordertown & Co. released their new music video for “Wanna Be” today, and while the visuals bring the song to life, it’s the message behind the track that’s making people stop and pay attention. Anyone who’s lived through a relationship that no longer feels right will recognize the feeling at the heart of the song—being stuck somewhere you no longer belong, while knowing exactly what you wish you had instead. The band has always carried a certain honesty in their writing, but

Covering an iconic song is more than a musical decision — it’s a psychological one. When an artist steps into work that millions already carry in their personal histories, they’re stepping into a conversation that began long before them. Some approach that conversation with bravado, some with hesitation, and some, like Alter Ego Rehab, with a kind of deliberate humility. Their new Souvenirs project, featuring reinterpretations of John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery” and “Sam

If you're not yet too familiar with the sounds of Jennifer Allsbrook, then her latest release is one of the best ways to introduce yourself to her songwriting, warm approach, and composition made up of natural and acoustic instrumentation, along with some great storytelling. Jennifer is a North Carolina-based songwriter and performer who took some time on this song to look inward a little bit. There's a little hint of who she is as a person coming through in this song, and yo

“Mary Anne” by Ryan Edward Kotler carries a kind of timeless resonance that I am always drawn to. I hear a song that could have slipped out of the 60s, yet the sentiment inside it belongs unmistakably to someone navigating the emotional weather of 2025. Kotler writes in a broad, human way, and the empathy in his delivery feels tuned to the quiet struggles most of us avoid naming out loud. The performance comes across as something pulled straight from his center, unpolished in

The latest record from Hyperspace delivers a very colorful, bright, and pop-coated punk record that also features classic pop-rock licks, guitar work, and vocals. This album is packed with personality, tells some stories, gets a little personal when it wants to, but always has some amazing guitar work and hooks along the way. The  Distant Signals  album doesn't waste much time with its first track, "Let's Go", which boasts pay pretty bountiful approach and this thriving energ

A brand new EP release from Abbie Bell & The High Ryes just dropped, and this record exemplifies an outfit that thrives when it comes to bringing together cinematic backbone in country music, as well as not being afraid to really rock out when those times arise. The EP is a massive one and brings with it amazing sonic presence and drive, but it is never over the top. This is a very well-balanced and dynamically attentive record, but it comes with tons of heart, character, and

A new single release from Fergal Nash pays homage to a late Argentinian football player named Diego Maradona, and the song comes through with a heavy-handed emotion, a warm approach, and lyrics that lay everything out cut and dry. "Diego" is a track that needed to happen for Fergal. You can clearly hear that this came from real emotion in the effect that the player's death had on himself and many others who follow the sport so closely. This is an honest tribute and love lette

The Transits are back, and their latest effort is in the form of a full-length, 15-track record that is absolutely massive and shines with presence and has a wonderful way of showcasing how the band can pull together songs that feel anthemic, inspirational, uplifting, but also edgy, dark, and can run the gamut of pop-punk with that shimmering alternative edge. The record is called  Bleed Hope , and it certainly doesn't waste a lot of time, but the first track, "Outsiders", wh

A new release from Benjamin Dean Wilson comes through as a very unique and engaging four-part musical radio play that gives you a full range of approaches in songwriting, portrayed with a heavily theatrical aesthetic, and delivers a premise that feels genuine and definitely builds this very cinematic appeal throughout its course. The album is called  Until the House Falls  and spans 11 songs in total; however, the first chunk of the release features the full play with the son

An atmospheric and edgy pop release from Anour delivers a vast set of tonalities that feel theatrical, in the form of what I would consider chamber pop, but also branches out into different directions at times, all with this premise and sentiment that a lot of us can grab onto because, as time goes on, we get very deep in it. "I Am"  is a beautifully constructed track that focuses more on the effects of social media, artificial intelligence, the technological advances of the

If you were not quite in the holiday spirit just yet, then I have the perfect track to get you there. A new single from Ferdinand Rennie has just been released, and it is quite an uplifting and classic holiday song that manages to capture this semi-vintage tonality throughout the entire thing. Because of that, it gives you these beautiful bouts of nostalgia that make you feel warm and fuzzy. "Together A Christmas" is an upbeat pop coated single that feels like it was recorded

Black Dog Moon are the culmination of the long and storied career of Conal Montgomery. A 5 piece blues-infused rock and roll band that proudly wear their influences on the backs of their denim jackets but bring their own unmistakable swagger and perspective to their sound. Self-titled debut album was released in June 2024 with follow up single ‘Neon Queen’ dropping in September this year. Both releases caught the sharpened ears of Hot Press, Pure M Zine, The Sounds Won’t Stop

An eclectic but welcoming album from Dave Vamfer recently released and this record gives off a lot of elements of a warm tonality but does so in a few different formats, styles, and even genres. The  Find The Sound 2025 reissue  album delivers everything from folk, singer-songwriter, rock, pop, and plenty more with attributes of contemporary lacing everything, and a lot of this feels like it came from real places. Being able to cross genres on one track is quite a brilliant m

An addictive new single release from Chani delivers quite a refreshing approach to conscious and relevant hip hop with a wonderful blend of edginess, color, character, and poise. "Casual" serves as a testament to an artist who is unafraid to speak her mind freely, no matter what. This is important because that's what true artistry is about. It's about self-expression and building that art form with fewer boundaries than whatever you may be used to. Chani is a perfect example

The latest release from David Moore and Westridge delivers a very classic rock aesthetic with an amazing guitar tone that beckons the era of rock's past life, along with an uproarious energy that becomes quickly infectious. It's not just the guitar tones and approach of the song; it is the risk that they're using and how they lean towards this sort of blues rock aesthetic. You could feel the soul oozing from these performances, and the whole thing has the air of a live show.

A massive new set of songs released from The Nobody comes through with such a unique and atmospheric set of tonalities that have a wonderful way of wrapping themselves around you, while blending this outstretched sense of cinematic backbone and pull, along with spacious and vast underbellies that you end up grabbing hold of so you can take part in each one's journey. These songs are part of a record called  Worm @ The Core , and the range in levels of intensity, heaviness, lu
