Lipford drops his new rock tune, "Just A Cry"

Rome-based artist Lipford is back with a bold new single, " Just A Cry ". The rock-infused track is his third release of teh year, with this track being in collaboration with The Rezonaut . It's a slight departure from his more pop-leaning sound, but what Lipford has done here is that he's embraced a different genre and has made it his own. The track has plenty of raw intensity about it with some immersive guitar licks and powerful drum sections. Vocally sizzling and with dashes of 80s glam-rock for good measure, the track was recorded at Jungle Music Factory and mixed and mastered by Matteo Marciano at Sonic Dunes Studio ."Just A Cry" is a bold new step for the Rome-based artist, and we hope we hear more of this sort of tunes from him in the future!

London-based trio The Music Of Sound return with their new cut, " We Are Dreamers ", and even from the first few notes it sounds like they're taking you back in time with this shimmering slice of synth-pop. ... a shimmering synth-pop gem filled with cinematic flair and irresistible hooks. The track is enriched with dreamy 80s nostalgia , led by Sherin 's soft and powerful vocals, with plenty of cinematic sounds and punchy pop beats too. There is no doubt that the track is filled with irresistible moments and catchy hooks, with myself even humming back the main synth tone before the end of the track. It's a great example of some dreamy nostalgia that has a modern twist on it, giving it prime place in the modern alt-pop landscape . The single is the acts sixth of the year and will surely not be their last, as we feel like they are going to be releasing more great tracks in the coming months.

Max Macready unveils their retro debut track, "Holding Pattern"

London-based duo Max Macready have made a stunning entrance with their debut single, "Holding Pattern". The cut is a brooding yet uplifting darkwave track pulsing with cinematic synths and 80s nostalgia , think New Order if they had some moodier vocals infused with glamrock riffs . ... a cinematic darkwave gem pulsing with 80s nostalgia, analogue warmth, and moody, synth-driven allure. The track really does sound both fresh as a daisy and as nostalgic as an Atari 5200 , with swirls of sounds that sound destined for a soundtrack to something like Stranger Things . Driven by analogue textures and moody vocals, "Holding Pattern" captured us from the first play - I'm just gutted we have to wait for more tunes now - and we feel that if you like the darker side to the alt/indie scene then this would be perfect for you.

MERCY KELLY drops the anthemic new single "Breathe For Her"

The Oldham -based Mercy Kelly has recently returned with their soaring new tune, " Breathe For Her ", which once again is making them stand out from the other indie-rock acts on their scene. ... a soaring, stadium-ready indie-rock anthem blending the melodic punch of The Courteeners and Catfish and the Bottlemen . The new offering has a great stadium-ready feel about it, showcasing the quintet in such a way that their ambition knows no bounds. The new track was recorded at the iconic Kempston Street Studios with producer Alex Quinn , with it building on the success of " Speak Too Soon " - a song that I still have on heavy rotation!

Dead Feather ignites truth and power on "American Dreams"

Edmond-based artist Dead Feather has released a huge statement of a track with " American Dreams ", which is a hard-hitting rock anthem that blends 80s and 90s influences with raw, emotional storytelling. ... a gritty, 80s-meets-90s rock anthem pulsing with raw emotion. Vocally, I'm reminded of Lou Reed mixed with Nick Cave , with some haunting synth tones added in for good measure. The track is a part of his upcoming album " Cate Heleswv (Red Medicine) Vol. 1 ", and as far as we go this might be one heck of a gateway song into his forthcoming LP. "American Dreams" really goes out and captures both sides of anger and hope through chunky and electrifying guitar riffs to those brooding and commanding dual vocals.

Tonneau reveals the cinematic new single, "Crush On You"

Amsterdam trio Tonneau has recently shared their new single, " Crush on You ". The new cut is a cinematic indie-folk track that balances intimate acoustic warmth with euphoric indie rock energy, with flavours that remind me of being in Camden in the 2010's listening to new bands. ... a cinematic indie-folk gem blending acoustic warmth, euphoric energy, and lush violin-driven charm. The delicate violin strings balance off perfectly with the soothing backing vocals. And when you introduce the sparkling production into the mix the track really comes to life. Even though this is their fifth-ever release, it sounds like the band is on course to be a big name within the music scene of The Netherlands , and with tracks such as this we can see them breakout at any point.

Aless Arias shares her emotive new single, "Deep End"

Syndye-based singer-songwriter Aless Arias recently shared her emotive new single, " Deep End ." It's a cracking track that has us replaying it all weekend, mainly because of the intro, but the whole cut is (in my opinion) her best track to date. ... brooding vocals , hazy dream-rock , and jangly riffs mark her as a rising indie-rock star. Even though she's just three tracks into her solo career, it's been laced with her insanely brooding vocals, all teh while mixed in with peak 2000's indie-rock sounds . "Deep End" reminds me a lot of Bloc Party 's deep riffs and the darkness of The Cure , with the hazy dream-rock atmosphere overcasting on the whole track with a slight jangly guitar sound keeping it all rooted. "Deep End" proves Aless Arias is one of Australia's most compelling emerging indie-rock voices, and it's not going to be long before she's all over Triple J ! Want us to hear your music?

PHWOAR drop their energetic new cut, "So Much Better"

Birmingham duo PHWOAR are back with their punchy, high-voltage new single, " So Much Better ". As soon as you hit play you'll be greeted with a burst of gritty riffs and punchy percussion. ... a relentless, riff-driven blast of post-punk chaos and garage-rock swagger . The track, for me at least, reminds me of early Blood Red Shoes with how relentless the track is. It does not drop below 10 throughout, and with the chorus having a very memorable vocal section, you may easily find yourself humming along to this way before the track has finished. With its blend of post-punk chaos and garage-rock swagger,"So Much Better" seemingly bridges two major sub-genres, so keep an eye on them as they can easily go viral soon with the right conditions (I just wish I was based around Birmingham!).
