Hailing from Llandudno in Wales is The Spitting Pips, who returned after nearly a decade without releasing music last year, and this song was the last of the five single releases, with this arguably being their chunkiest of the bunch. ... a relentless, acid-tinged rock banger built for endless nights and unapologetic headbanging.

M3G showcases her stunning new single, "Rooks"

Based out of Chippenham in England is M3G, and the artist is back with their new folk tune, "Rooks". The new effort is a stirring folk release that speaks all about personal upheaval. ... a cinematic folk anthem of personal upheaval, where powerhouse vocals meet acoustic elegance. With influence from the likes of Florence Welch, it's no wonder that the song opens up with a strong and powerful vocal tone. The singer-songwriter has steadily been releasing music since late 2023, and with this song acting as her only release of 2025, it sounds like she's going up and above on this one. The vocals for me are by far the highlight of the song, and with the cinematic folk tones blended in with the acoustic nature, it'll certainly turn a fair few heads.

Annabelle Tiffin introduces herself beautifully with debut single, "Currents"

Annabelle Tiffin has earlier on this year shared her debut single, "Currents", and since it was released, it's gone on to surpass the 10k stream mark on Spotify in it's first month. ... a tender, classic in the making indie-pop gem, blending delicate acoustic tones with vocals that hint at a rising star. The tender indie-pop song is very much in the same realm as the likes of Holly Humberstone and even Gracie Abrams in places too. I personally got a bit of a punk-edge to her tones, not sure why but I felt like I was listening to a slow-burning acoustic Paramore song. "Currents" was also written by Annabelle when she was just 14 years old, so it's quite the nostalgic song for her. "Currents" is really well produced too, helping to showcase her stunning vocals brightly with a delicate backing of acoustic-pop sounds flowing under it. She's currently based out of Gold Coast in Australia, but once big labels hear her debut she could be anywhere ...

Adam Wedd returns with his new single, "Figure It Out"

One of our favourites here is Adam Wedd, and at the start of the year, he returned with his new single, "Figure It Out". The upbeat new track is a proper British indie-rock anthem with plenty of soaring moments that'll have you gripped and buzzing for the next second. ... a buzzing, disco-tinged indie-rock track that demands repeat listens. I personally loved the scorched-synth sounds - that come at the same time as the 'yeah' shouts - which reminded me a lot of the 1980s disco tunes that dominated that era. It's also very energetic with lots of guitar hooks to get you bopping and moving in no time. As he continues to evolve, single by single, it's safe to say that Adam is a singer-songwriter you need to have on heavy rotation, as it can easily be the next single that launches him into stardom.

Sonnen Blume shows off the emotive new single, "Back To Life"

Following on from a standout 2025 that saw the band launch and release a covers EP, a full-on debut album and a multitude of singles, they return with a bold new offering, "Back To Life". ... a hauntingly cinematic indie-pop gem of dreamy vocals and heart-healing intimacy. Sonnen Blume's latest single is a beautifully intimate dive into the delicate process of healing after heartbreak, with some incredibly dreamy vocals that'll have any Holly Humnberstone fan swooning over it within seconds. The track is deeply rooted in a cinematic wash of alternative and indie pop. The track showcases stunning vocals that are slowly becoming a signature of their work, with haunting lyrics that'll have you sinking deep into the track.

John Nicholas returns with “Today With You,”

Coming out of the South Welsh town of Llantwit Major is John Nicholas, and the singer-songwriter has revealed quite a unique A/AA-side single. ... infectious indie-rock with jangly guitars and folk-driven vibes, now in both English and Welsh for double the charm. The upbeat single bursts to life from the outset, with jangly guitars, tremendously addictive drumbeats, and his vocal tones. Speaking about his voice, it reminds me a bit of Stereophonics and The Manic Street Preachers in places, but with a more upbeat/folk-driven mood behind it. So, I may have left you hanging on the intro, but the uniqueness of the single is that the second song on the release is the Welsh version, all sung in his country's native tongue. The whole song is this shimmering burst of indie-rock, and regardless of the language you listen to it in, you'll be able to hear the feel-good sounds flowing throughout. Want us to hear your music?

Olivia Cox releases her new pop anthem, "Made Friends"

Olivia Cox has recently revealed her stunning new single, "Make Friends", and the cinematic new song bursts into life right away, showcasing her stunning vocal tones. ... a cinematic alt-pop anthem with soaring vocals and festival-ready energy that demands attention. Cox's voice on this is incredible, with it being on par with the very best in the industry. The voice lies upon those alt-pop sounds effortlessly, and they combine to generate this emotionally charged anthem that shall get you excited way before the first chorus finishes. It's such an impressive performance and we have been turned into fans already - "Freaky" is also a bop if you wanna head deep into her older tunes. Based out of Belfast, we feel like Olivia Cox really has the talent to shine outside of the UK, it's got that shimmering appeal that the whole of Europe will latch onto. We can easily see her name at the top of festival bills in the coming year too, thanks to the slick productio...

Ashes Over Dust showcase their energy with new single, "Ghost Country"

Ashes Over Dust have returned, and they are showcasing their energy with the stunning new single, "Ghost Country". It's the type of track that can easily grip new listeners with the intro alone, way before any vocal tones come in. ... a moody, ’90s-infused alt-rock anthem brimming with soaring riffs and confident vocals. The bass and guitar sounds on this really won me over from the very start, and the confident vocal tones that join in shortly after remind me a lot of Soundgarden in places. Moody and quietly confident, it sounds to me that this Montana-based band is looking to take over the alt-airwaves all over the USA. Drawing from the melodic power of those 1990s rock and indie staples, the track is certainly going to turn a lot of heads (and ears) their way. With a solid catalogue of songs out too, they're a band you can get stuck into right now - just remember the name, as with the sound they have, the sky is the limit. Want us to hear your music?
