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...

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?

Lazember shares his cinematic new single, "Don’t Look Back"

Coming right out of the County Donegal scene is Lazember, and the Paul Rodgers-led project has revealed quite the charming new single. The single is incredibly confident; I especially loved the intro, it was filled with booming drums, soaring guitar tones and Paul's sensational vocal tones. ... a drum-thundering, guitar-soaring anthem with Paul Rodgers' powerhouse vocals. There is something in the Irish music scene that is getting a lot of people, myself included, more excited as time goes on. First, it was Inhaler breaking out, then it was Florence Road, and now it sounds like Lazember could be the next act to burst onto the international scene. If you're a fan of Sam Fender with his cinematic and atmospheric sounds, then this could be your new favourite act. "Don't Look Back" acts as a mighty preview of his forthcoming debut album, and of this hasn't got you excited, I don't know what would - so hurry up and stick this on, then delve into his back ca...

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 ...

Andy Smith drops his mega new track, "LTT"

Now based in Adelaide in Australia, is former Bristol rocker Andy Smith, and just a few days ago saw the singer-songwriter drop his epic new rock tune, "LTT". ... a swaggering Britpop-fuelled garage-rock belter channelling Kasabian and Blur with irresistible, playlist-ready punch. There are some huge Britpop sounds on this, as that's kind of expected considering the scene he was a aprt of back in the UK, but what he has done here is give it extra oomph and power. His vocals remind me a lot of Kasabian in places mixed in with the gritty power of Blur, and even that main guitar gave me big Graham Coxon vibes. For me it has to be that underlying garage-rock theme, the swagger, the drive, the backing vocals around the 2:40 mark – man, it's got it all. "LTT" to me feels like it's both in the present and the past, with vinyl scratches to a mix that's flawlessly showing off his talent. You NEED this in your playlists as soon as possible. Be sure to stay fo...

Banquet Darling shares the stomping new tune, "Dynamite Daddy"

Hailing from Newcastle in Australia is a stomping new cut, titled "Dynamite Daddy". The new offering is from Banquet Darling, and it sounds to us like the punk scene is very alive in New South Wales. ... a swaggering, self-made punk stomper packed with jagged riffs, punchy breakdowns and serious New South Wales attitude. The outfit is the brainchild of globe-trotting former circus performer Todd Kilby, and this new offering is a great example of his jagged sounds, edgy basslines and rather punk-driven vocal tones. It honestly reminded me of being in my dad's car as a kid, listening to a lot of radio-friendly punk tunes on those incredibly obscure radio stations in Essex. The track has a fantastic breakdown in the latter half, once more showing off why this act needs to have a lot of attention towards him. Lots of swagger, punchy moments and self-driven (from recording to performing instruments). It's a gateway, perhaps, to a new world of music! Want us to hear your...

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 ...

Jared Bond switched-up his sound on new offering, "AlgoRhYtHm"

Jared Bond is back with a smooth and somewhat psychedelic sound with his new track, "AloRhYtHm". The new cut from the Kansas City-based artist is a great slice of what to expect from him moving forward. ... a funky, emotionally charged trip that feels experimental yet irresistibly crowd-pleasing. The single is laced with plenty of funky guitar hooks, something much like the sound in Arctic Monkeys' "Humbug" to more fluid psych sounds that Tame Impala is known for. Vocally, I'd have to compare it to the likes of Kevin Parker; it's dynamic and filled with emotions at every second. The track itself is very intricate, with a kaleidoscope of sounds all mingling with one another like a sexy instrumental jamboree. It's an experimental track indeed, but it doesn't stray too far away from sounds that Jared knows will go down a treat for the masses. Polished off to perfection, this is a real treat for the ears no matter what your genre of preference. Wa...

Def Nettle returns with the razor-sharp tune, "Mohawk"

After a big 2020 with multiple releases, Dublin-based Def Nettle today returns with the first cut of their 2026 campaign, and it's business as usual, it seems. ... a sharp, accent-rich, brooding post-punk cut blending retro flair and modern bite. "Mohawk" is a punchy track with an incredibly sharp guitar that dominates the opening sequence. Vocally speaking, it's very Irish in that you can hear the accent in the music, which is something I adore. The voice is moody, brooding and really helps you lean in further to the track. The instrumentation here is on point, impactful percussion is laced with a blend of edgy and dreamy guitar tones that help to bring this post-punk track to life. I'd say that this song is nostalgic yet contemporary; it's got that retro flair with a modern twist, and we're here for it. With radio play on big-hitters such as BBC Radio 6 Music (UK) and RTÉ 2FM (IRE) you know he's got that something special. Want us to hear your m...

WOTTS drift into dreamier territory with big new tune, "little bug"

Released just a few days ago was a new tune by a long-time favourite of ours, the Ottawa indie pop duo WOTTS. "little bug" sounds like the best track that they've made to date in my opinion, and even though I'm a huge fan of theirs, I felt so different listening to this on the first play, a sense of 'oh wow, this might be it' about it. ... a hazy, bass-driven, dream-laced anthem that signals the Ottawa duo have truly found their sound. Credit: Eric Dolan It really sounds like the duo have found their sound in this sub-genre, with a blend of atmospheric guitar tones washing out hazey sounds left, right and centre, to the thick bassline rippling through your mind, foot-stomping beats and dreamy vocals. They really are evolving as each track gets released, and with this acting as a new taste of their upcoming EP, "COPE", we can see plenty more fans working their way to the sound of Wotts. Expansive and atmospheric yet humble. Want us to hear your m...
