MUTE TV drops their big debut tune, "Drag Me Down"

"MUTE TV", an alternative rock band based in Bath, England, deliver a gripping debut with "Drag Me Down". The track was recorded live and honestly sounds like it was meant to be. You can easily hear their energy full on with this track. ... a raw, high-voltage debut that feels like a livewire hitting straight through the speakers. It is unfiltered, raw, energetic, and is a song that could be their calling card for people to get into their sound. It has that energetic FIFA soundtrack vibe about it. It is short, snappy, full-on, and has hooks left, right, and centre, with vocals that will have you smashing your head back and forth with agreement. The pulsating rhythm on the track really got me from the first play, and the bassline in my ears was an absolute delight. If you like the sound of Nine Black Alps and Forward Russia from the 2000s, then these lot are going to be for you. For a debut, this is nothing short of phenomenal, and I wish them the very best as this s...

Mind Riot drops their thunderous debut single, "Big Talker"

"Mind Riot", a high-energy three-piece from Detroit, United States, dropped their mega debut offering, "Big Talker". They make quite a lot of noise considering they are just a three-piece. ... a thunderous debut that hits like a freight train and refuses to let go. The debut track does not hang about, with a punching drum kit welcoming you in with a chunky guitar and bass shortly following. The vocals are a big reason why I stuck around, and once they came in, I was nodding along in agreement. It sounds a bit 80s to early 90s at times, with some almost hair metal riffs that will definitely have you smashing your head around regardless of the environment you're in. There are plenty of guitar solos dotted all over the track, too, and even though this is the first offering, they have plenty of hooks in this to lure you into their sound. I can't get over how good this sounds, considering it is their debut offering. I can't imagine what this trio are going to...

French Dogs return with their new anthem, "Broken Glass"

French Dogs, the London, UK-based indie rock band, are back, and we couldn't be happier. "The Bold's" new track literally starts off with a cracking guitar riff before bursting into a 90s-infused, rip-roaring sounding rock anthem. ... a high-energy, 90s-tinged indie rock anthem built for chaos, release, and live-wire intensity. The vocal performance on this is stunning. The song is all about breaking free from monotony, something that I have done a few times, trying to break free from that thing that's keeping you down, trying to be something new, trying to bite the bullet and just take things headfirst. The energy in this track will really help you move on with your life if you are stuck in one of those positions, as the chorus sounds like it is designed to give you energy to jump up and down, go crazy, and just lose yourself to it. I can see this causing chaos when they perform it live. There's a reason why this is not the first time we have written about th...

The Maddocks drops frantic debut, "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

Bursting out of the Stockport scene is The Maddocks and today sees them drop their frantic new cut, "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things". The single actually acts as their debut, and flip me like an egg this is good. As far as debut singles go they usually are the best as the band has not got anything to compare themselves to, and as far as I'm concerned there's no pressure either. The Maddocks are here and are now going anywhere any time soon, if this is what they're capable out of the blocks then I can see them being the next band to break out of Greater Manchester. What this new quartet has done on their first single is pave the way for them to be one of the next biggest acts from the North of England, possibly topping fellow Stockport indie darlings, Blossoms. With chunky guitar tones, anthemic vocals and a real drive from the percussive side the track is frantic but is incredibly danceable. The Maddocks are here and are now going anywhere any time soon...

Korda Korder continue their rapid rise with "Everything You Ever Wanted To Be"

Emerging from Hastings, "Korda Korder" continue their rapid rise with "Everything You Ever Wanted To Be". The new offering was released just a week ago and has already soared to the top of their Spotify page, suggesting that fans are lapping up this new cut. ... a short but explosive indie rock surge packed with soaring guitars, cinematic energy, and serious breakout potential. It's more or less the sound that I got into them with: huge guitars that, with this one especially, remind me of The Joy Formidable, mixed with those incredibly cinematic vocals, all laced over that simply stunning production. It's the kind of song that you can turn up loud and listen to loud and proud. The chorus is sensational, with a very powerful backline that pushes those vocals straight into your memory, locking it in for you to discover once more with every play. Even though it is just a tick over two and a half minutes long, by the time you're into the second half of the s...

Mariecke Borger releases her heartfelt new single, "Heartbeat"

Mariecke Borger’s "Heartbeat" is a beautifully understated folk-pop gem that blends Americana warmth with deeply personal songwriting. ... a rich and heartfelt folk-pop track elevated by stunning vocals and beautifully polished songwriting. Based in the Netherlands, this song sounds like it has been lifted right out of the Nashville music scene. It's that rich, that well-written, and that polished. Her vocals are absolutely stunning. If this were a TV show and I heard those vocals for the first time, I would expect her to win the whole thing. The delicate, almost indie pop-cum-folk guitars are a pure delight, with organic percussion balanced perfectly alongside those dreamy, somewhat shoegaze-sounding guitar tones. My notes on first listen were simply "stunning", and I honestly couldn't believe my ears when I heard how beautiful her voice was. With a bunch of singles and two albums stretching back to 2013, there is plenty more great music from her to listen ...

The Ingrid reveals the stunning new single, "Lullaby"

The Ingrid's latest single, "Lullaby", is a beautifully textured dream pop release that instantly reminded me of The Cranberries from the first ten seconds. Honestly, it sounds like Dolores O'Riordan has come back; it's so pitch-perfect. ... a dreamy, shoegazey indie gem that channels The Cranberries with cinematic charm and emotional depth. Much like their sound, this is also rather shoegazey in places, with dreamy hooks and scintillating vocal lines that I absolutely fell in love with within the first minute. It's got that slow-burner feel to the track. It doesn't have a massive crescendo at the end, but what it does do is sustain throughout and leave you wanting more. It leaves you wanting to delve into the band's previous two tracks within moments of hearing this for the first time, and, to be honest, these three initial tracks from the band are a solid foundation for them to push on and get signed by the biggest of labels. They've got that moo...

Lotta Svart shares her stunning new single, "Magi"

"Lotta Svart" is a singer-songwriter and producer based in Turku, Finland, and she has recently revealed her new single, "Magi". ... a celestial dream-pop drift that feels like floating through sound. Credit: Cover photo by Arto Arvilahti, cover art and logo by Sampsa Sipilä It starts off with an ethereal vocal hook that honestly reminded me a lot of what Grimes was doing about 10 years ago. Very layered vocals with cinematic sounds that feel like they are touching the upper echelons of the sky. It is a serene blend of atmospheric dream pop with indie pop hooks and those aforementioned cinematic moments that just really lift the track up. What is even more astonishing is that this is her second ever release, with her debut offering coming in 2023. This track also marks the first release from her upcoming four-track project, which explores "melodic electro-poetry". So, if you fell in love with this track and felt relaxed and at ease, then be sure to follow ...

JK Jerome makes a striking debut with "Profanity"

Based in Horsell, England, JK Jerome makes a striking debut with "Profanity". Right from the get-go, you hear the delightfully shimmering tone of a fingerpicked guitar before it leads into his absolutely stunning vocals, which, at times, recall the tenderness of Ben Howard. ... "Profanity" is a cinematic indie folk debut that pairs raw emotion with experimental flair to striking effect. At its core, the track is a rich and cinematic folk song with pop sensibilities and experimental moments in the percussion. Especially around the mid-point, subtle electronic textures creep in, adding an edgy and atmospheric layer to the sound. Artists and bands these days are always searching for something unique in their music, and it feels like JK Jerome has truly found it. His cinematic indie folk stylings, combined with a glitchy and, at times, left-field approach to electronic music, come together seamlessly. He feels destined to become one of the rising stars of this genre. Wa...

Anders Ekblad reveals the tender new track, "Early Mornings"

Swedish independent artist Anders Ekblad, based in Oskarshamn, Sweden, delivers a beautifully atmospheric experience with his new single, "Early Mornings". The track, a collaboration with Crissi Cochrane, is a cinematic slice of indie folk blended with Americana and bluegrass tones. ... beautifully cinematic indie folk track that blends delicate songwriting with warm Americana charm. I personally loved the harmonica at the beginning. It immediately sets the tone for the song, shortly followed by the duo’s stunning vocals intertwining effortlessly. On my first listen, I was genuinely blown away, and even in my initial notes, I wrote that this has all the hallmarks of being one of the strongest songs in the genre. I truly mean that. The soft instrumentation, delicate vocals, and interplay between the guitars are sensational. It feels like the kind of song you can unwind to on a summer evening with friends, simply relaxing and enjoying life. Cinematic, atmospheric, and stunning,...
