“Concrete Wave” - Everwill

Some songs feel like they were written in a cramped bedroom at 2 a.m., spilling out from a notebook full of feelings you weren’t sure you’d ever share. Others feel like they were made for sweaty summer nights, car windows down, and the volume just shy of blowing your speakers. “Concrete Wave”—the latest single from Nebraska-born William Griffey’s solo project EverWill—manages to be both at the same time.

“Just With You” - Chandra

There’s something about certain songs that feel less like they were written and more like they were remembered — as if they’ve always existed somewhere in the background, just waiting for someone to bring them into the world. Just With You, the latest release from Bristol-based pop-rock outfit Chandra, falls neatly into that category.

“It's Me Again” - Brandon Wayne

Brandon Wayne doesn’t tiptoe into his latest release—he charges headfirst into the storm, guitar in one hand, regrets in the other. “It’s Me Again” isn’t just another alt-country rock track; it’s a confessional dirge, a thunderous reckoning wrapped in the grit of distorted riffs and the weight of sobriety.

“Liquid Reality” - Anupam Shobhakar

There are albums that blend genres, and then there are albums that tear the boundaries down completely, toss the pieces into the wind, and build something totally new. Liquid Reality, the latest offering from virtuoso guitarist and sarodist Anupam Shobhakar, definitely belongs in the second camp. This is not a fusion record for people who just want to sprinkle sitar over jazz chords—this is deep-rooted, high-level, no-holds-barred sonic architecture.

“Das Geisterschiff” - Nordstahl

Every now and then, a song doesn’t just tell a story—it becomes one. That’s exactly what happens with Nordstahl’s chilling new German-language ballad, “Das Geisterschiff” (The Ghost Ship). Out of the fog comes a track that doesn’t just flirt with the macabre—it steers straight into it, full sail. This isn’t your average sea shanty or dramatic folk tune. This is a musical séance with guilt, loss, and the consequences that refuse to die.

“God of the Dead” - Rosetta West

If Rosetta West were a place, it would be a smoky dive bar on the edge of the universe—part haunted temple, part blues church, part punk asylum. Their latest album, God of the Dead, feels exactly like that: a spiritual odyssey that’s as raw as it is transcendent. It’s chaotic, it’s beautiful, it’s strange—and somehow, it works.

“Ghost of Churchfield Shuffle” - The Revolt

Let’s get one thing straight: The Revolt are not here to play it safe. Their latest EP Ghost of Churchfield Shuffle is five tracks of raw, roaring, no-holds-barred post-punk fire, steeped in grit and grief, defiance and swagger. Born in the undercurrent of Churchfield’s cracked concrete and Cork’s ever-pulsing creative heart, this EP doesn't whisper its message—it screams it, guitar-first and unapologetically loud.

“Sweetlips” - Laguna

Some tracks hit you like a freight train made of glitter and grit — and “Sweetlips” by Laguna is exactly that kind of sonic chaos. Straight from the scorched psychedelic heart of Geelong, Victoria, this new single from James Guida’s solo project isn’t just a song — it’s an entire vibe, smeared with distortion, soaked in VHS static, and buzzing with unapologetic energy.

“To Grow Old” - Amy-Lin Slezak

Amy-Lin Slezak is back — and she’s not holding back. Her second single, “To Grow Old”, is a rallying cry wrapped in country-pop brilliance, a bold follow-up to her debut “How Dare She” that solidifies her voice as a necessary one in today’s musical landscape — especially for women who are tired of being told to shrink, smile, and stay young forever.

“Some Strange” - Trashy Annie

Trashy Annie’s new single “Some Strange” is not here to make you feel cozy. It’s not a tender love song. It’s not a radio-polished, autotuned earworm. What it is, however, is a whiskey-drenched, leather-studded gut-punch of a rock anthem that smells like gasoline, heartbreak, and last night’s cigarettes — in the best way possible.

“Let It Go” - TWOFEW

If you’ve ever cranked up your stereo just to drown out your own thoughts, TWOFEW’s latest single “Let It Go” is the kind of track that doesn’t just fill a room—it owns it. Released June 3, 2025, this Phoenix-based four-piece is crashing through the noise of formulaic radio rock with something real: a gritty, emotional anthem that throws punches and then hugs you mid-fall.
