Cove unveils a nostalgic debut tune, "Rain"

Launching anything always tends to be difficult, and sometimes a band's first single may go unnoticed but not for us. Cove hails from the gorgeous Vicenza in Italy and has unveiled a nostalgic-tinted debut tune, "Rain". ... if they keep this up they could be a big name on the Italian rock scene. If you're a fan of your swaggering vocals then you'll love this, think of it as part Alex Turner in places with some Brit-pop undertones giving it that powerful effect. Musically speaking it's chock full of guitar hooks that if you're an alt-rock guitar fan you'll be falling head over heels for it. The tempo is perfectly sitting at a pace that'll have you tapping your foot to it with backing vocals that you'll also be humming back by the end of the first play. In short, it's a strong debut release, and I have to say if they keep this up they could be a big name on the Italian rock scene.

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 ⇐

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...

Oasis: Their Enduring Impact on Music and Hints of a 2026/27 Tour

Few bands have left as profound a mark on modern rock as Oasis . Emerging in the early 1990s from Manchester, the group — fronted by brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher — quickly rose to global fame with their signature blend of Britpop swagger, anthemic melodies, and unforgettable choruses. Today, decades after their debut, Oasis remain a cultural touchstone, their influence stretching across generations of indie and rock acts . The Oasis Sound and Legacy Oasis’ defining sound combined gritty guitar riffs, soaring vocals, and lyrics that balanced working-class grit with poetic ambition. Albums like Definitely Maybe (1994) and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) became instant classics, propelling the band into international superstardom. Tracks such as Wonderwall , Don’t Look Back in Anger , and Champagne Supernova are now timeless sing-alongs that have transcended the era they were created in.

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...
