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...

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 ⇐

FRANO drops the addictive new cut, "SUMMER LIGHT"

Hailing from Wulkaprodersdorf, Austria, is electro-pop artist FRANO, and the new track is incredibly vibrant from the get-go. Titled "SUMMER LIGHT", it feels like one of those unapologetically nostalgic electro bangers that is destined for those vibrant and upbeat playlists of yours. ... an addictively vibrant, Avicii-esque electro-pop banger designed to instantly lift your spirits and cure the morning blues. If you like the sounds of Avicii, then this is honestly going to be up there with the kind of music you're into. I can't get over how addictive and upbeat this is. Even if you're having one of your Monday morning funks and you need a bit of a push for the early morning, this track can be the type that gets you up and going again. With this new song being his first since 2021, it's quite the return for an artist who has a back catalogue that stretches all the way back to 2017. If you like the upbeat sounds that FRANO has on this song, then be sure to delve...

CREEPS return with the powerful cut, "I Will Follow You"

Hailing from Brno in Czechia is CREEPS, and the outfit has returned with "I Will Follow You". The powerful new single is their second release of the year and is only the second track to be released by them since 2021—so think of these two singles as a comeback, and what a comeback it is! ... a explosive, heavy-hitting comeback single packing massive riffs and grit-soaked vocals that demand your full attention. The strong, dark track is filled with massive riffs and crunching vocal hooks, with a modern rock bite that has plenty of melodic hooks and powerful guitars. If you are a fan of rock music as a whole genre, then this new track is something you're going to want to get your teeth sunk into. The vocals are very rough around the edges, but in a good way that complements a rock track, with echoes of Nickelback in places all the way through to tones very familiar to those of Don Broco. I've heard a few rock bands come out of the Czech music scene and I have to say tha...

Mainstreet reveals their brand new tune, "Living by the Sword"

Hailing from Haugesund, Norway, is Mainstreet, and they are back with their brand-new single, "Living by the Sword". ... a highway-ready, 80s-inspired soft-rock anthem dripping with heartland charm and Springsteen-level warmth. Having come out on the Friday just gone, this new song delivers a real, authentic 1980s hook with plenty of vibes that seem like they were perfectly designed for your road-tripping needs. With a strong guitar solo dotted throughout the track, you would not have expected this song to be recorded in a home studio, but rather in a studio in Nashville, Tennessee. There's that much charm going on! The softer tone is channelling their icons, such as Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. With the overall structure of the track sounding like a perfect soft-rock song for the masses, there is nothing to hate on this track, and it's just 3 minutes and 43 seconds of pure rock bliss.

Summerhouse drops the hit tune, "Burn All Night"

London-based project Summerhouse drops their second-ever single, "Burn All Night". The follow-up to their debut single "All I Know" is a sonically charged dream-pop song with plenty of electronic soundscapes flowing throughout. ... a hypnotic, Hackney-bred hit of dream-pop and synth-driven electronics that signals a bright future for East London's newest prospect. It's got plenty of synth-pop features with some arpeggiated synths, cascading drum patterns, and a smattering of guitar hooks to really give it that edge. The Hackney music scene has always been known to produce some great underground artists, and considering that his debut single was released just last month, Summerhouse is certainly making a name for himself. It's hypnotic, addictive, and has lots of textures for you to get your teeth stuck into. If you find yourself leaning into this track, then be sure to follow them on social media channels as Summerhouse could quite easily be the next big...

Co.LeGa drops the new single, "you.Love"

Based out of Poland is independent artist-producer Co.LeGa, and his quirky new single has recently dropped. Titled "you.Love", it's a quirky blend of rhythms and dark synths, with plenty of atmospheric textures that remind me of the sounds of Moby, all the way to more experimental sounds that the likes of Thom Yorke and Grimes are known for, and everything in between. ... a genre-bending Polish gem that trades predictable choruses for atmospheric, high-octane synth perfection. I personally loved the breakdown of the keyboard tones, which replaced a regular chorus section, which also, for me at least, gives the track plenty more bite and oomph. The cinematic and atmospheric backing vocals on this also helped me lean into the track way faster than I would expect. Who would have thought that such a vibrant track would come from an artist based in Poland? I myself only know the scene in Poland for its quirky and unique disco polo and whatever I hear on Eurovision – even thoug...

Fever Dream Kills return with the bold new song, "Gone By Sunrise"

Bursting out of the English music scene is Fever Dream Kills, and the band have recently dropped their fourth single, "Gone by Sunrise". These efforts have got them over 60,000 Spotify streams. This song is a very bold track with a charming entrance of jangly and upbeat guitar tones that are shortly followed by some captivating vocals. ... the band blend jangly indie pop with late-2000s indie-rock energy to create a seriously addictive anthem. All anchored in with some strong female tones, the track steadily builds up before bursting into a very acoustically led chorus with plenty of soaring backing vocals that sound almost like a gospel choir in places. The track does a fantastic job at blending contemporary indie pop sensibilities with a bit of that indie rock edge that a lot of people are loving these days. With support from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Introducing, this band is here and they clearly mean business. Even though their first single came out early in...

The Race shares their new offering, "Family Tree"

The Race are back with their emotional new offering, "Family Tree". The new track from the Reading outfit is their third of the year and is a fantastic snapshot into their sound. ... a triumphant comeback anthem lacing 90s Brit-rock nostalgia with crunchy, shoegaze-drenched guitars and personal heart. The new single is a part of their brand-new EP titled "Family", and it turns a conversation between vocalist Dan and his son into a very guitar-driven anthem that anyone listening to it can relate to. It's got plenty of crunchy guitar hooks with an abundance of shoegaze draped over it for good measure. Think of Pixies, Placebo, and The Cranberries, all mixed in with an undertone of the late 1990s Brit-rock scene. Having been on hiatus for 17 years, the band has previously released a couple of albums and a few EPs along the way, but it sounds like they are back to their finest with this wonderful new offering, "Family Tree". Want us to hear your music?...

Joe Caruso returns with his charming new song, "Waiting on the Wind"

Washington, DC-based artist Joe Caruso is back with his delightfully addictive track, "Waiting on the Wind." The new single from Joe is his fifth of the year, and it starts off with a charming guitar sound before some organic percussion comes in to warm things up. ... Joe Caruso blends warm acoustic rock with Americana, Country and Latino touches for a beautifully laid-back listen. As soon as his vocals hit your ears, you know that you'll be sticking around for the long haul on this one, with the song seemingly getting better as every second goes by. There are some tremendous moments within the song, with some sliding guitars in the background later on giving you this subtle Americana vibe hidden amongst the acoustic rock-pop tones. I did appreciate the finger-picking guitars on this as well, with a slight Latino vibe, which struck a chord with me. It's certainly no more unique than other tracks within this genre, and with a back catalogue that has tens of thousands o...
