“Winners” - Chandra
Let’s be honest—sometimes life feels like a series of punches to the gut. And just when you’re ready to tap out, a song like “Winners” comes flying through your speakers like a power-up you didn’t know you needed.
Dropped on Friday, June 6, 2025, the latest single by Bristol-based pop-rock trio Chandra is exactly what the season ordered: a soaring, fist-pumping, scream-it-in-your-car-with-the-windows-down anthem that’s not just catchy—it’s empowering.
“Scania” - Soek
When a composer with a résumé like Grant Borland’s decides to drop the rulebook and make something just for the sake of art, you listen. No trailer deadlines. No sync briefs. Just a piano, some strings, and a heart full of Iceland.
“Hunger for Love” - VANNGO
VANNGO doesn’t make music for the background. His latest single, “HUNGER FOR LOVE,” isn’t here to gently ease into your playlist—it rattles your bones, grabs your heart, and asks real questions you might’ve been dodging. It’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and honestly, kinda undeniable.
“Distant” - Ava Valianti
Let’s talk about Ava Valianti, the Newbury-based singer-songwriter who’s quickly becoming the indie-pop confidante we all wish we had in high school—and honestly, still need in adulthood.

“Be Kind With My Heart” - Staci Gruber

“For The First Time” - Linkwells
Linkwells are not here to play it safe. With their latest single, “For The First Time,” the Malvern-based four-piece dives headfirst into emotional free fall, giving us a track that’s as anthemic as it is introspective. It's raw, it’s soaring, and it punches you right in the feels—in the best way possible.
“Morena” - Alex Forte
There’s something magnetic about music that feels lived in—music that doesn’t just sound good but hits you in the soul.

“One Way Ticket” - Michael Barrett Dixon
If you're looking for your next musical obsession—and you're equally fond of Blade Runner aesthetics, ’80s pop hooks, and deep space contemplation—One Way Ticket might just be your hyperspace jump into the void. Michael Barrett Dixon, hailing from Richmond, VA, is not just a singer-songwriter. He’s a one-man starship crew, helming every inch of this bold and brilliant space-themed concept album.

“In the Shadow of Time” isn’t just another blues-rock single—it’s a philosophical thunderclap in musical form. Equal parts cosmic blues sermon and existential soundscape, this latest release from Shyfrin Alliance isn’t here to entertain you. It’s here to unsettle you, engage you, and maybe, if you let it, wake you up.
“Leftover Land” - Elephant Run
Elephant Run are not your average band, and Leftover Land is not your average debut. It’s not even fair to call this just a “record.” It’s a reclamation — of old ideas, long-distance friendships, and a creative spark that refused to die, no matter how far apart its flames had drifted.
