Hey Again showcases their talent with new single, "Easy to Break"

Back with just their third-ever single is Hey Again, and the new offering from the Brooklyn-based band is a wonderful slice of NY-state-sounding indie rock. ... a razor-sharp blast of NY-style indie rock. Laced with The Strokes swagger, Interpol's cool, danceable grit, and breakout energy. Yes, the reference is that specific, as I can hear influences from the likes of Interpol, Vampire Weekend and especially The Strokes on this one, with the sharp guitar tone being one of the first things we latched onto. There are obviously some gritty moments, with scorched guitars working in tandem with some danceable grooves that'll get you bopping along in no time. It's tight, concise and full of life; in short, this is a perfect intro to a band that sounds like they can break out of the scene in New York state and be big nationally. Want us to hear your music?

Savannah Gardner delivers her stunning new single, "This Pain is Love"

London-based Savannah Gardner last week revealed her acoustic gem of a song, "This Pain is Love". If there is one thing that got us hooked, it was the intro, so serene and welcoming with a delightful folk-driven guitar and crisp percussion. ... a serene, folk-tinged acoustic gem. As the track progresses, it becomes fuller, with the chorus especially sounding like Gardner is an artist that's about to emerge. I really liked that Dire Straits-sounding guitar towards the end of the chorus too, a bit of a tangent, but it ticked a big box for me. The nostalgic tone that surrounds the track really sets it apart from other acoustic-driven tracks as of late, with this offering being one that sounds both intimate and yet atmospheric. She's an artist that you need to keep an eye on. Want us to hear your music? Click here to submit your music directly to us and many more like-minded curators, bloggers and influencers.

The Origins of Indie Rock Music: From Underground Roots to Global Stages

Indie rock music is one of the most beloved and influential genres in modern music. Known for its DIY ethos, raw authenticity, and refusal to conform to mainstream industry norms, indie rock has evolved from underground beginnings into a global movement. But where did indie rock come from, and how did it grow into the genre we know today? What Does “Indie Rock” Mean? The term “indie” originally stood for independent . In the late 1970s and early 1980s, bands that weren’t signed to major record labels released their music through smaller independent labels . Over time, the word “indie” became less about the business model and more about the sound and attitude —raw, experimental, and often outside the mainstream. The 1970s: Punk and Post-Punk Influence Indie rock’s origins are deeply tied to the punk rock explosion of the mid-1970s. Bands like The Sex Pistols and The Clash proved that music didn’t need polished production or major backing to make an impact. Out of punk came post-punk ...

Bottlemoth drops their huge new stadium-ready track, "Suki"

Hailing from Chippenham is Bottlemoth, and the five-piece channel 90s and early 2000s guitar energy, transforming it into a rich soundscape that feels both cinematic and intimate. ... a soaring indie anthem that swings from intimate ballad to stadium-ready belter in minutes, powered by swirling guitars and chant-along hooks. The latest offering from the quintet is called "Suki", and it's a huge track that goes from stadium-belter to a laid-back ballad and right back to the stadium-filler within the space of a minute. It really reminds me a lot of the best Coldplay and Biffy Clyro songs, tender in the right places but with a chorus that can pack a punch with lyrics that yearn to be chanted back. There are plenty of stunning vocal hooks in this, all the while with a swirling guitar dominating proceedings; it just feels like a track that needs to be a closing song for a packed-out venue. The driving indie-pop sound is stunning, and we can't wait to hear more from the ...

Harsh Language reveals their big new track, "To Nothing"

London trio Harsh Language last week unveiled their big new single, "To Nothing", and it acts as the first single to be lifted from their debut album, "Time Won’t Wait For You". ... a dark, shoegaze-tinged rock anthem blending Cure-esque nostalgia with modern electronic punch. It's got this huge dark-rock sound to it, reminding me a bit of The Cure in places, but with a decent blending of shoegaze haze added in for extra crunch. There are also hyperpop textures in the form of the percussion, with some soaring vocals that (once again) remind us of Robert Smith. The electronic edge to the track is hard to forget about, too, giving it that general appeal that can grip thousands of new fans. It's atmospheric without being too intimidating; there's a soft underbelly to it all that ensured that I played this on loop for a good few plays. With a decent amount of nostalgic sounds mixed in with modern textures, this song is going to do a lot for them heading in...

Fake Plastic share the retro new tune, "Don't Go To Work"

Hamburg's own Fake Plastic have recently shared their stunning indie-rock cut, "Don't Go to Work", and right from the get-go on the first play it sounded like a classic rock tune with the blend of 90s and jangly guitar sounds. ... a retro-tinged indie-rock cut packed with jangly '90s guitars, raw grit and swagger. It's got an intro that's over a minute long, offering you plenty of time to sink into the sound they've got. The song is also the first slice of music from the band since their album came out in February of 2025, and if the new batch of tunes sound like this, then we may have yet another album from an emerging band to look forward to. It's got a retro feel to it, with raw grit and edgy vocals that are filled with confidence. So if you love your 90s-tinted rock tunes, then be sure to check out this sublime new offering from one of Hamburg's rising bands. Want us to hear your music?

DownTown Mystic roars back with the retro new tune, "Hard Enough (Remix)"

DownTown Mystic roars back with "Hard Enough (Remix)" which sounds like a classic fist-pumping slice of rock - and trust me on this, the track goes down well on the first play! ... a fist-pumping, hook-filled rock anthem dripping with Springsteen-style swagger and timeless nostalgia. Credit: Mark Maryanovich Photography Not a remix in the modern sense (usually dance-themed), but the new version features Max Weinberg and Garry Tallent, with this single acting as t he first release from the upcoming " On E Street Remix EP", which will see the band dropping more tunes like this. If you like those warm and nostalgic tones that the likes of Tom Petty, Springsteen and Dire Straits are famous for, then this swagger-filled tune is for you. It's unapologetic, filled with hooks all over the place, has a solid guitar solo and even some stunning moments of piano too, this is proof that rock and roll never dies. Want us to hear your music?

Dual Variant unveils the big new single, "Against All Odds"

Coming out of the scene in London, ON is Dual Variant, and the noisy duo have dropped a corker of a track following a big 2025 that saw them burst onto the scene with a duo of singles. a bass-heavy, drum-driven rock anthem that channels lots of intensity. The first track of 2026 is a big statement; chunky basslines meet cascading drums, and I'm getting a big reminder of the sounds of Royal Blood here. Easy to compare, perhaps, but they honestly do sound like the Canadian variant of the Brighton rockers. I did love the vocal effects that adorn the track, with some glicthing effects and sky-high moments that'll have you wanting to learn the lyrics so you can shout it proudly in your car. If last year was their breakout year, this year has all the hallmarks to get them into the heads of every Canadian rocker, and hopefully further afield too. Dual Variant proves that new rock duos are still exciting and utterly loud. Want us to hear your music? Click here to submit your musi...

Deja Dead pushes alt-rock into cinematic territory with "Snapshots"

Coming out of a rather strong scene in New York is Deja Dead, and they are not hanging about with their expansive new single. "Snapshots" sounds like an organ has been given an exorcism; it's huge and unapologetically everywhere. ... a genre-blurring alt-rock epic with exorcised organ riffs, 90s rap beats, and a colossal final crescendo. Once the intro passes, you get some chatter on the song before it drops into a massive 90s rap beat mixed in with some dynamic alt-rock licks of guitar and heavy bass. You really have to give it to Deja Dead for blending in several genres into one song and making it sound so cohesive, not alienating any new listeners, it seems, but rather gripping their attention from the get-go. Written during personal upheaval, the track traces chaos to clarity, and the spoken-word moments really hit home as it gave me big nostalgic vibes - yes, I'm older than I think. Just be sure to turn it up in the final third, as it's the most unexpected cr...

Tony Frissore releases the genre-blurring new track, "Island Lantern Festival"

Cleveland producer Tony Frissore is back with his new offering, "Island Lantern Festival", the second of the year, following on from the impressive cut, "Four Walls". ... a genre-blurring reggae-ska groove bursting with vibrant guitars, thick bass, and adventurous, feel-good energy. The new track from the Cleveland artist reminds me a lot of Grolliaz in places, with a delightfully vibrant and bouncy lick fo guitar, almost offering up some ska flavours to proceedings. The fact that Tony can pull off several major genres being blended all into one track is nothing short of stunning. The Ska-come-Reggae guitar lick for me is amazing; paired off with some panpipes and a thick bass, it really opens up your senses and encourages you to delve into the track headfirst. If you've not dabbled much out of your comfort zone as of late, make this the track to do it with; it's a celebration of sounds that are sure to get you invested. Want us to hear your music?
