With “Distracted,” Waukesha-based singer-songwriter Brandon Frizzell steps into bold territory — not just as a musician, but as a social commentator. The track cuts deep into the collective psyche of modern life, confronting our obsession with screens, outrage, and the endless scroll that keeps us comfortably numb.

Nick Vivid doesn’t just make music — he engineers his own sonic universe from scratch. With Volatile, the New York City electronic lo-fi funk auteur turns his DIY ethos into an act of radical self-expression, merging glam rock flamboyance with basement-built futurism.

There’s a beautiful kind of honesty that comes from a lifetime of making music, and Just an Old Guy captures that spirit in full — reflective, warm, and quietly profound. Across eight tracks, this new album from the ever-creative Ian Rae (a musician with 16 albums, an EP, and 10 singles already under his belt) feels like a gentle conversation between memory and melody.

Mel Denisse doesn’t make songs so much as she summons worlds — fragments of memory, myth, and melancholy stitched together with distortion and grace. Her upcoming single “Going Nowhere” is a masterclass in that alchemy: a melancholy alt-rock/shoegaze fever dream inspired by The Serpent & the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent.

From the frontlines of the German underground, HKSPK return with “Nocturnal Beheading”, a track that doesn’t just flirt with brutality — it lives in it. Pulled from their acclaimed 2025 EP The Human Butcher, the song is a vicious statement of intent from a band already making international waves less than two years after their formation near Frankfurt (Oder).

From the heart of Birkenhead, Merseyside, Kete Bowers returns with “Chained” — a song that feels less like something written and more like something unearthed. Released on October 10, 2025, this single finds the acclaimed singer-songwriter at his most vulnerable and cinematic.

With their seventh single, “Eyes Open,” Meath duo One Flew Over prove that they’re not content to sit still. This isn’t just another indie-rock release — it’s a lush, emotionally charged reawakening, where heartbreak and self-realisation collide in glorious, cinematic fashion.

Melbourne’s Anna Porto might only be 21, but her new single “Crown” sounds like it’s been written from the ashes of someone who’s already lived — and learned — through heartbreak. Out now, the track is a raw and commanding slice of dark pop/soul, dripping with emotion, edge, and self-realisation.

There’s a certain kind of song that sounds like it’s been lived through before it was written — like a confession left half-finished on the kitchen table after midnight. Clay Brown & the Trouble Round Town’s “No Place” is one of those songs.

UK artist, songwriter, and producer Heron continues his one-man creative odyssey with “What If?”, a gorgeously introspective track that feels like a philosophical daydream unfolding in real time. The single—drawn from his evolving 2025 album project Underground Sky—is a study in contrasts: intimate yet cinematic, earthy yet ethereal, existential yet strangely comforting.

With their seventh album, VERONNEAU—the transatlantic duo of Québécoise vocalist Lynn Veronneau and British guitarist Ken Avis—step into sacred territory. Blue Tapestry isn’t just a tribute; it’s a love letter to two of the most transformative albums ever recorded, Joni Mitchell’s Blue and Carole King’s Tapestry—records that didn’t just soundtrack a generation, but redefined what songwriting could be.

“Holding Pattern” feels like a message intercepted from another dimension — a neon-lit fever dream where longing meets circuitry, and emotion hums beneath the static. Max Macready’s latest transmission, with Kurt Precinct handling vocals and guitar, is a slow-burn synthwave vignette that pulses with both retro heart and future tension.

Paul Louis Villani doesn’t just make music — he detonates it. With his new single “Sweat Drips,” the Melbourne-based musical maverick throws genre caution to the wind and launches a full-blown groove riot. It’s Funkadelic hip-hop at its most unhinged — a deliriously sweaty mix of brass swagger, elastic basslines, and lyrical chaos.

Italian-born, Austin-based Lene isn’t just writing songs — she’s composing emotional vignettes that live somewhere between memory and motion. Her latest single, “The Journey,” feels like a letter to herself, and to anyone who’s ever stood on the edge of something uncertain, equal parts terrified and hopeful.

After turning heads with the snarling grunge energy of their debut “Fool’s Paradise,” Belfast trio Serotone return with a song that trades fury for fragility — without losing any of their bite. Their new single, “Breathe,” arriving October 22, 2025, is a cathartic dive into the emotional aftermath of isolation and internal struggle.

When you first press play on AUNCE’s new single “Come Back,” you’re not just listening to music — you’re stepping into a living, breathing atmosphere. The track unfolds like a memory suspended in fog; it’s less a song in the traditional sense and more an experience.

There’s something electric about a band’s comeback — especially when it feels earned. After a six-year break, Glasgow’s NIEVES return with “Fear and Control,” a song that channels every drop of pent-up energy, creative hunger, and emotional honesty that’s been simmering beneath the surface since their hiatus.

There are some bands that sound like the moment the sun breaks through the clouds — and Pool Club is absolutely one of them. With their new single “Changing Tides,” the Kent-based quintet deliver a gleaming, feel-good indie pop anthem that manages to be both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.

With “Invention,” Paris-based musician, vocalist, and producer Pragma Enigma doesn’t just release a song — he unveils a blueprint for a new sonic language. This is not your typical single; it’s a manifesto disguised as music. A collision of electronic brutality, trap swagger, and industrial rock theatrics.

Every so often, a song comes along that feels like the emotional equivalent of finding an old photograph in a drawer you forgot existed. “PeachTree,” the latest single from Tampa-based trio The Rainy Season, is exactly that kind of track — tender, reflective, and drenched in the bittersweet glow of growing up and moving on.
