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.
 
      
      “I Don't Miss That Woman” - Wattmore
Let’s be honest — the world doesn’t need another sad breakup song. But what it does need is a breakup song that doesn’t wallow, doesn’t sugarcoat, and doesn’t pretend like we haven’t all fantasized about driving off into the sunset with a middle finger in the rearview mirror. And on that front, Brisbane’s favorite brotherly duo Wattmore delivers hard.
 
      
      “Fires Of The Blue Moon” - Medivh
Let’s just say it: Medivh isn’t your average rock band. In fact, calling them a “band” feels limiting. This Italian art rock duo—made up of brothers Emmanuele and Tommaso—is more like a sonic force of nature. They’re part dream, part nightmare, all passion. Born in the quiet cradle of the Tuscan countryside and raised on distortion pedals, experimental textures, and spiritual unrest, Medivh crafts music that doesn’t just demand your attention—it consumes it.
 
      
      “Third Like” - WONDERLOST
Let’s get this out of the way: “Third Like” by WONDERLOST is not just a track — it’s a place. A humid, dreamy, salt-kissed destination you didn’t know you needed to visit. And once you’re there, you’re not going to want to leave.
 
      
      “Rose-Colored Boy” - CROSSTOWN
Cover songs can be tricky territory. You’ve got to respect the original while somehow carving out your own identity within it — and that’s no easy feat, especially when you’re taking on something as beloved and punchy as Paramore’s “Rose-Colored Boy.” But CROSSTOWN, the Los Angeles-based duo made up of singer/producer/guitarist Danny Mitchell and bassist Lily Santos, doesn’t just cover the song. They reimagine it, dip it in glitter, give it a pulse, and set it free on the dancefloor.
 
      
      “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.
 
      
      “The Other Side of Fear” - Edge of Paradise
Edge of Paradise has never been a band to do things halfway. They don’t just release songs — they build worlds. With their latest music video for “The Other Side of Fear,” they take their bold, cinematic vision one step further by handing the spotlight to their global fanbase — and the result is something uniquely raw, human, and surprisingly powerful.
 
      
      Exclusive Interview: Dane Anthony Swan
Every once in a while, a song comes along that doesn’t chase the algorithm, scream for attention, or drown itself in production tricks. Instead, it slows down, breathes, and invites you to do the same. The Simple Things, the latest single from Dane Anthony Swan, does just that — and it’s exactly what we didn’t know we needed.
We spoke to Dane about his journey so far.
 
      
      “Wholly You” - Jon Gold
Let’s get one thing straight: not all jazz is cold, complicated, or reserved for smoky clubs. Some jazz wears a warm smile, wraps you in sunshine, and says, Hey, it’s okay. You’re okay. That’s exactly the kind of energy Jon Gold is bringing with his latest single, “Wholly You”—a lush, soul-soothing blend of Brazilian rhythms, jazz sensibility, and lyrical heart that feels like a deep breath during chaotic times.
 
      
      “Right Here” - Maharani
If you're looking for something to hit your ears and your spirit, Maharani's new 2-track EP "Right Here" is exactly the kind of sonic soul food that’ll stay with you long after the last note. With just two tracks—“Skyline” and “Right Here”— performed alongside Itsyaboikay, she manages to transport, uplift, and ground you in something that feels ancient, yet entirely fresh. It's Tamil, it's Carnatic, it's RnB, it's cosmic, it's affirming—and it's all hers.
 
      
      “People Are Mad” - Sean Griffin
After a 25-year run at the heart of New York’s Irish-American music scene with his band The Ruffians, Sean Griffin has officially gone solo—and let’s just say he’s not tiptoeing into the spotlight. His debut single, “People Are Mad”, is part protest song, part pub sing-along, and part cheeky commentary on the general chaos of the modern world. It’s also undeniably fun. If you've ever laughed while crying over the state of politics, or yelled “we’re doomed” over a pint with friends, this song might just feel like your new anthem.
 
      
      “No Kings for Me” - Chris Pellnat
Imagine a cartoon cat riding a robot, standing tall in digitally rendered worlds, refusing to bow to tyrants—and yes, that’s exactly the vibe of Chris Pellnat’s new music video “No Kings for Me.” This protest anthem, filmed entirely in VRChat, merges grassroots activism with whimsical surrealism—and all without a drop of AI involved. It’s homemade protest art for the digital age, and it hits surprisingly hard.
