Moose Wrench return with the big new tune, "Dead Stars"

Leeds, England trio Moose Wrench return with their new single, "Dead Stars". The single is a re-recording of their 2021 single and features very much the same vocal structure as its predecessor. However, this time around, the track sounds far more psychedelic and noisy. ... a mind-bending alt-rock explosion where psychedelic chaos, heavy riffs and indie energy collide. I personally loved those deep and brooding vocals on the track, but my real love came from the guitar riffs that are layered within the song. It's got this fusion of sounds that range from alt-rock to math-rock, prog, punk and, obviously, psychedelic, with them all coming together in one absolute eargasm of noise. The final minute of the song is an absolute flurry of one genre: indie rock. For me, this was almost the confirmation that I'm definitely going to be listening to this outfit plenty more times after this single. From the very start of the song to the very end, the first impression I had was am...

Luke Martin unveils his stunning debut single, "Superstar"

London indie-pop artist Luke Martin makes an impressive entrance with "Superstar". It's one of those debut indie-pop tracks that could be sitting up there with the very best. ... a high-energy debut with a festival-ready indie-pop anthem packed with raw guitars and melodic hooks. If you like the upbeat, borderline indie-pop sounds of The Maccabees, The Kooks, and The Zutons, then this debut track from Luke Martin is honestly going to be a perfect fit for you. It's a high-energy track with lots of raw guitar sounds and strong melodic hooks, with it sounding like the kind of track you'd stumble upon whilst at a music festival. Undeniably solid and yet unheard of. The London singer-songwriter is certainly amongst the scene already in his hometown, with over 2,500 monthly listeners on Spotify. It sounds like he's already building a solid fanbase. Be sure to follow him on all socials so you don't miss the next track that drops. Want us to hear your music? Cl...

Ben Heyworth reveals the bold new track, "Image of Roads (Montana Mix)"

Ben Heyworth yesterday shared his first single of the year, "Image of Roads (Montana Mix)" is that track, and it also acts as just his fourth-ever solo cut, but when you hear it you may be forgiven in thinking that he's already toured the UK. ... a soulful, swagger-filled alt-rock track with Britrock grit, anthemic hooks, and a killer guitar solo that belies his early solo discography. The new cut from the Manchester songwriter is a smooth blend of some soulful guitars, 90s alt-rock with a swagger-filled vocal tone that can easily grip you from the first line. It's quite anthemic and atmospheric in places too, and when the chorus comes in, it becomes a bit more gritty with some Britrock tones mixed in with a modern sheen. Lyrically, it's a mature track with lines that can easily get you humming along in no time. Produced by Gary Hadfield, it's a track that'll certainly get Ben's name out there, and be sure to listen out for a sweet guitar-solo after th...

New Sunday reveals their stunning single, "The Empty Street"

Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, is home to New Sunday, a studio project that has got some incredible sounds to them. The single is "The Empty Street," the third since launching early this year, and is a whimsical blend of cinematic acoustic music and driving folk beats, with some contemporary pop vocals polishing it off. ... a stunning cinematic folk-pop journey filled with soothing strings and atmospheric beauty. Built around songwriter Einar Askelsson's carefully crafted compositions, the track showcases her vocals and her attention to detail with her music. It is simply stunning, with the atmospheric sounds and the soothing violin strings offering you plenty of opportunities to feel like you can end up disappearing into her back catalogue of music. The song is incredibly well-written, with stunning vocals and incredible instrumentation. I feel like this is simply the beginning of this project and is no doubt one of the best rising artists that Iceland currently has. Want u...
