Danny Suede shares the sun-kissed new tune, "shadows on the pavement"

Bursting out from Spokane, United States, is Danny Suede, who has recently released his new track titled "shadows on the pavement". The new offering from the American singer-songwriter has already shot to the top of his most popular songs on Spotify, and I can easily tell why from the very first minute. ... a shimmering, uplifting slice of bedroom pop that feels made for sunny days. The opening sequence of the song is a delicate balance of acoustic guitar mixed with his serene vocals and a dash of electronic pulses just to get you all warmed up. For me, the fusion of bedroom pop and alternative pop sounds reminded me of an early Ed Sheeran as he was about to take over the British music scene. With that in mind, it sounds like Danny is also going in that direction. It is such an uplifting track and has brilliant shimmering moments that make this an unmistakably top pick for your Sunkissed playlists. He is an artist who is on the rise, so be sure to listen to him as soon as you...

Interpol reveal video for "The Rover"

Interpol have released the video to powerhouse new single ‘The Rover", taken from forthcoming Dave Fridmann-produced new album "Marauder", which is released August 24th via Matador. The video was shot on-location in Mexico City in June, during a whirlwind journey where Interpol announced their new album via a live-streamed press conference. Paul Banks says: " I like to describe the video for "The Rover" as a prequel. It’s the origin story of the character described in the song, the birth of a cult leader. When we meet him he is partly unhinged. He’s a man on the verge, an artist subjected to great pressures, and beset with existential frustrations. A distracted hipster who enjoys psychedelics, let’s say." ⇒ FOLLOW OUR SPOTIFY PLAYLIST HERE ⇐

FRANO drops the addictive new cut, "SUMMER LIGHT"

Hailing from Wulkaprodersdorf, Austria, is electro-pop artist FRANO, and the new track is incredibly vibrant from the get-go. Titled "SUMMER LIGHT", it feels like one of those unapologetically nostalgic electro bangers that is destined for those vibrant and upbeat playlists of yours. ... an addictively vibrant, Avicii-esque electro-pop banger designed to instantly lift your spirits and cure the morning blues. If you like the sounds of Avicii, then this is honestly going to be up there with the kind of music you're into. I can't get over how addictive and upbeat this is. Even if you're having one of your Monday morning funks and you need a bit of a push for the early morning, this track can be the type that gets you up and going again. With this new song being his first since 2021, it's quite the return for an artist who has a back catalogue that stretches all the way back to 2017. If you like the upbeat sounds that FRANO has on this song, then be sure to delve...

[ALBUM REVIEW] Daughter - Not To Disappear

January may be the bleakest part of the year: full of post-Christmas dejection, wet and windy weather, sometimes snow and ice, and in 2016, the devastating loss of some of the world’s most innovative geniuses. With the bleak days of winter in mind, many would argue that it is the perfect month for a Daughter resurgence. Debut If You Leave went hand-in-hand with a permeating dark, fragile, and ghostly nature about the arrangements. However, despite the obvious continuation of the underlying sense of sadness, the subtlety and serenity of the first album is not brought through to 2016. Rather, new album Not To Disappear is much bigger; bringing with it extra dynamism and ambition. Nestling away after touring their 2013 debut, the indie folk trio have certainly taken their time about this, their second and superior record. Whilst cleverly maintaining the gripping melancholy and gossamer constructions that we fell in love with, the band have pushed away from the “frozen hearts” Elena Tonra ...

CREEPS return with the powerful cut, "I Will Follow You"

Hailing from Brno in Czechia is CREEPS, and the outfit has returned with "I Will Follow You". The powerful new single is their second release of the year and is only the second track to be released by them since 2021—so think of these two singles as a comeback, and what a comeback it is! ... a explosive, heavy-hitting comeback single packing massive riffs and grit-soaked vocals that demand your full attention. The strong, dark track is filled with massive riffs and crunching vocal hooks, with a modern rock bite that has plenty of melodic hooks and powerful guitars. If you are a fan of rock music as a whole genre, then this new track is something you're going to want to get your teeth sunk into. The vocals are very rough around the edges, but in a good way that complements a rock track, with echoes of Nickelback in places all the way through to tones very familiar to those of Don Broco. I've heard a few rock bands come out of the Czech music scene and I have to say tha...

Mainstreet reveals their brand new tune, "Living by the Sword"

Hailing from Haugesund, Norway, is Mainstreet, and they are back with their brand-new single, "Living by the Sword". ... a highway-ready, 80s-inspired soft-rock anthem dripping with heartland charm and Springsteen-level warmth. Having come out on the Friday just gone, this new song delivers a real, authentic 1980s hook with plenty of vibes that seem like they were perfectly designed for your road-tripping needs. With a strong guitar solo dotted throughout the track, you would not have expected this song to be recorded in a home studio, but rather in a studio in Nashville, Tennessee. There's that much charm going on! The softer tone is channelling their icons, such as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. With the overall structure of the track sounding like a perfect soft-rock song for the masses, there is nothing to hate on this track, and it's just 3 minutes and 43 seconds of pure rock bliss.

Joe Caruso returns with his charming new song, "Waiting on the Wind"

Washington, DC-based artist Joe Caruso is back with his delightfully addictive track, "Waiting on the Wind." The new single from Joe is his fifth of the year, and it starts off with a charming guitar sound before some organic percussion comes in to warm things up. ... Joe Caruso blends warm acoustic rock with Americana, Country and Latino touches for a beautifully laid-back listen. As soon as his vocals hit your ears, you know that you'll be sticking around for the long haul on this one, with the song seemingly getting better as every second goes by. There are some tremendous moments within the song, with some sliding guitars in the background later on giving you this subtle Americana vibe hidden amongst the acoustic rock-pop tones. I did appreciate the finger-picking guitars on this as well, with a slight Latino vibe, which struck a chord with me. It's certainly no more unique than other tracks within this genre, and with a back catalogue that has tens of thousands o...

Gravité Fresq unveils their new dark-pop cut, "Hypocrisy Loop."

Dublin-based project Gravité Fresq is back with their new dark pop single, "Hypocrisy Loop". It is absolutely stunning, with nostalgic synthwave moments that remind me of the 1980s scene, and even the production values on this sound rather analogue in places, giving it that extra nostalgic bite. ... Gravité Fresq channel the analogue glow of the 1980s into an addictive slice of dark pop. I also loved the vocals on this, reminding me a lot of Pet Shop Boys in places, but with even more direct tones. The groove and drumbeat on this is really addictive, and it shows that this band is steering their way into many more people's heads. With now seven tracks out in the world, this act is certainly on fire with the content that they are dropping.

It is a smooth blend of vibrant acoustic pop and has you heavily invested in the song from the get-go. ... a euphoric, genre-blending burst of upbeat pop that's impossible not to play on repeat. The beat on this is absolutely sensational, and I knew well within the first minute that this was a track that I was going to be playing over and over again. Infused with a dynamic electropop groove with euphoric guitar bursts and an infectious drumbeat, this is certainly a sonic track that bleeds over genres and mixes them together into one heck of an upbeat affair.

Fever Dream Kills return with the bold new song, "Gone By Sunrise"

Bursting out of the English music scene is Fever Dream Kills, and the band have recently dropped their fourth single, "Gone by Sunrise". These efforts have got them over 60,000 Spotify streams. This song is a very bold track with a charming entrance of jangly and upbeat guitar tones that are shortly followed by some captivating vocals. ... the band blend jangly indie pop with late-2000s indie-rock energy to create a seriously addictive anthem. All anchored in with some strong female tones, the track steadily builds up before bursting into a very acoustically led chorus with plenty of soaring backing vocals that sound almost like a gospel choir in places. The track does a fantastic job at blending contemporary indie pop sensibilities with a bit of that indie rock edge that a lot of people are loving these days. With support from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Introducing, this band is here and they clearly mean business. Even though their first single came out early in...
