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...

Based out of Riverview, Canada, "Chris Colepaugh and the Cosmic Crew" return with "The Work Makes Me". The new cut from the Canadian outfit is an absolute powerhouse, as you might be able to hear within the first three seconds. You're greeted into the track with a deep and brooding guitar line, with some tight percussion in the back, and then not too long after, Chris's stunning vocals come in, and that's it. You're hooked. 20 seconds, you're done. ... a high-octane, guitar-driven roots-rock powerhouse packed with bluesy soul and retro grit. There is an incredible Americana feel to this, with plenty of blues and roots influences swirling around this rock-driven song. I loved the breakdowns, with the backing vocals especially helping me lean into the track more. As every minute went by, you get treated to something different. Especially at the two-minute mark, you are deep in a guitar solo that honestly reminded me of music in the 80s. Overall, th...

Land Mass drops their stunning debut release, "Fading EP"

Hailing from his East London flat, solo artist Greg Zucker delivers the Fading EP under the moniker Land Mass. The EP release doubles up as the first-ever release of any sort under the name Land Mass, and you are greeted with the opener titled "Green Parakeet". It's a very melodic and moving track, focusing a lot on his vocals and a moody acoustic guitar, before you are greeted with a bursting, almost Brit rock guitar at the 40-second point. ... a stunning debut with a genre-spanning EP packed with moody vocals, soaring guitars, and memorable melodies. Following on from the leading track is the really fast-paced offering titled "Trojan Horses". It's a clear-cut winner for me and is a solid indie rock cut with moody vocals and high-toned guitars that fans of Interpol, Bloc Party, and Franz Ferdinand will all appreciate. It's got a lot of rushing guitar moments and drum patterns that will have you tapping along in no time. The track that sandwiches everyth...

Nat James shares the dreamy new single, "Fly to LA"

Based out of Los Angeles, Mexican-born artist "Nat James" has recently revealed her brand new track, "Fly to LA". The dreamy new offering was written after someone flew from Norway to meet her unprompted - which you might be able to tell from the title of the track, "Fly to LA". ... a sublime, atmospheric dream-pop track rich with cinematic vocal layers and emotional drama. It is a cinematic indie-pop track that is all about that fine line between a seemingly movie-esque moment and the chaos that comes with the emotions. Vocally, Nat is sublime here with some incredible backing vocals that are electronically driven, helping to give it extra depth. If you like layered-up dream pop, then this is certainly something you'll like from the first play. Even in my initial notes, I had written down how beautiful it was and how I was listening intently to the instrumentation and backing vocals buried within. With just a trio of tracks released to her name going ...

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...
