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...

Sehore delivers a strong new outing with "IA"

Spanish alternative rock outfit Sehore recently revealed their big new song "IA". The 2-minute-long track is an edgy and distinctive new offering that was recorded at Paco Loco Studios and showcases the outfit's angular sounds and vocal tones. ... an edgy 5/4 rhythm trip that cements Sehore as one of Spain's most compelling alternative exports. We've previously featured their tracks on the website; however, this seems to be the first one that has appeared on their Spotify page, making it somewhat of a debut single for those who are listening on that digital platform. It is quite the earworm for those musically inclined fans who appreciate time signatures such as 5/4 because there's a lot of that going on here, with a curious rhythm and unstable pulse giving your ears a real workout. Following their Global Music Awards recognition, Sehore prove once again why they remain one of Spain's most interesting acts. Recorded in 2026 at Paco Loco Studio and mastered...

Spiral Orbit reveal their nostalgic new cut, "Isolation Zone"

Based out of Nottingham in England is five-piece Spiral Orbit recently revealed their strong new track titled "Isolation Zone". The new cut from the band is their second of the year, and the intro alone was enough for me to give the song a chance, as it reminds me a lot of New Order and The Killers, especially when the synths come in after a few seconds. ... a synth-charged, '80s-inspired rock anthem that turns pandemic uncertainty into an uplifting, high-energy payoff. With the aforementioned similarities to New Order, this track really does have a big late '80s synth-rock feel to it, with the vocal hooks also sounding like they have been cherry-picked from that era. Add in some more '70s glam rock-sounding synths and what you have here is a track that is incredibly nostalgic and yet feels as fresh as anything else out in the world right now. This is the kind of track that will have you listening intently from the very first play. Once the song has its little m...

L'extravagante unveils the atmospheric song, "Carpenter"

London-based indie-pop project L'extravagante recently dropped an atmospheric new dream-pop track titled "Carpenter". The new single is their third of the year and is a fantastic example of what the outfit is all about, featuring cinematic sounds mixed with soaring vocals over a backing track that will have you tapping along in no time. ... a genre-blurring blend of atmospheric dream-pop and '80s glam-rock guitars that marks an exciting turning point for L'extravagante. One thing I also loved was how the guitar sounds remind me of those '80s hair-rock bands, with the glam-rock tones throwing me off a little bit while giving me a massive smile upon first listen. It's the kind of sound that grips you within the first minute and keeps you locked in for the rest of the song. With moody sounds, atmospheric moments, and Angela's affirmational vocals giving you plenty of time to lean into the song, this genre-blurring effort is surely going to be one of their...

TV Blackout drops their new cut, "Eyes Burn Red" - lifted from their new album

Coming out of Ypsilanti, Michigan, is the alternative rock outfit TV Blackout. The band's new single is titled "Eyes Burn Red", and this is the lead single off their debut album titled "Loss of Control". ... a thrilling, gritty opener packing '90s grunge guitars, punchy post-punk drive, and the brooding swagger of Fontaines D.C. It is quite the opening track for an album, as it kicks off with a rush of '90s indie rock guitars mixed with some punchy drum beats and a tone that reminds me of the early days of the post-punk revival scene in the UK. The intro is less than 30 seconds long, but it certainly got me hooked from the first play. As soon as the vocals started, I knew that I would be investing a lot of time in them. The mood and charm of the vocalist remind me a lot of Fontaines D.C. in places, minus the accent. The drive on this song is stunning, and it is a real thrill to hear on the first play. The latter half of the song gives you some proper cru...

The Sway return with a retro-sounding single, "Feasting 2026 (HK Mix)"

London-based indie veterans The Sway make an explosive return with "Feasting 2026 (HK Mix)". This band was one of those acts that were emerging during the mid-'90s, so the fact that this song has massive Britpop nostalgia about it makes complete sense. ... a dark, Prodigy-tinted remix that breathes thrilling new modern life into a 34-year-old Britpop gem. This was originally a B-side on one of their 1992 singles and has since been remixed by producer Harry Kook to be given a new lease of life. It's got that dirty undertone with plenty of dark moods flowing about it that reminds me somewhat of The Prodigy. What I find remarkable here is that a band with a song that is 34 years old has had it reimagined for modern times. It sounds perfectly in place with anything that was happening in the '90s and everything that's happening now in 2026. This track is a shining example of the versatility of the band, and with their back catalogue backing them up, I can see The S...

Andy Smythe returns with the retro-sounding "Beautiful Day"

London-based singer-songwriter Andy Smythe's "Beautiful Day". Following a sold-out show at London's Blackheath Halls, the British singer-songwriter has now blended classic Beatles-sounding tones with slight Britpop influences. ... a charmingly nostalgic, Beatles-infused Britpop gems that highlights Andy Smythe at his absolute finest. The track is a breezy and upbeat affair, acting as Andy's first single since his EP "Quiet Revolution Extra" came out earlier this year. With his solo work stretching as far back as 2002, this London-based veteran has certainly refined his sound over the years, and this new offering is an exceptional highlight of his, showcasing everything that this man is about. It's beautiful, charming, nostalgic, and at the same time feels as fresh as anything else that's been released these days. This is certainly a track that you need to listen to if you enjoy softer-leaning rock music. Want us to hear your music? Click here ...

Mary Strand is back with her strong new cut, "Annunciation"

Minneapolis-based indie rocker Mary Strand is back with her powerful new single "Annunciation". The new single is her first since her album "I Don't Need Your Permission" came out in 2025, and it kicks things off with a powerful guitar solo and a rush of drums welcoming you into the song. ... a rip-roaring, guitar-heavy indie rock anthem that channel angsty resolve into a powerful stance against gun violence. Her vocals have not diminished whatsoever over the year, sounding just as good as when we last checked in with her. It's a proper rip-roaring rock song with strong guitar solos and sharp, garish rock hooks, showcasing her and her band's sound wonderfully. The song is all about unwavering resolve against the normalisation of gun violence. With those angsty vocals mixed into the song, it sounds like a proper anthem for those who feel gun violence should not be normalised, fed up and demanding change while holding onto hope that something will be done....

Irina Imme shares her awesome new single, "Easy."

Being based out of London sometimes has its perks, and sometimes it has its faults, but for Irina Imme it sounds like she has got the scene in her hands based on this single. ... a raw, high-octane indie rock thrill that proves Irina Imme is a force to be reckoned with. The new track is raw and electrifying, with her vocals once again showcasing why she is a force to be reckoned with in the capital. With the single "Easy" being her second release of the year, following her EP titled "Y2K", this new offering sounds like she has turned a corner, and those rock fans who are looking for a bold new track by a female vocalist are probably going to be dying for something like this. It is an absolute thrill and I loved it from the first minute. With sounds that remind me of Paramore and early Avril Lavigne with its gritty grunge, this track certainly is a gateway to her sound.

England-based outfit Last Crash has recently shared a cinematic masterpiece with "Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone". ... an epic, rain-soaked cinematic masterpiece built for massive festival main stages. Led by singer-songwriter Darren Clarke alongside producer Matt Cotterill and keyboardist Lorna Keene, the UK act has recently released quite the stunning new offering. What is more astonishing is that this is the outfit's second-ever single, but it sounds like the kind of track that has been written to close the Glastonbury music festival on a Sunday (whilst there is rain pouring throughout the sky and flags fluttering everywhere). It is incredibly cinematic, with some stunning vocal hooks and charming guitar work that interweaves with strings and epic tones. Having been influenced by Beach House, The Cure, and Interpol, the track acts as a perfect gateway to their sound, so be sure to follow them on all social channels so you do not miss future releases.
