‘Fires Of The Blue Moon’- Medivh Channel Lunar Fury and Dreamlike Dread on Enchanting new single
From the shadowed hills of Tuscany comes a tempest. ‘Fires of the Blue Moon’ by the Italian art rock duo Medivh was forged in brotherhood, blazing with cinematic tension and emotional torque. Emmanuele and Tommaso, the duo behind the project, summon the storm with a deft balance of searing guitars, spectral synths, and brooding atmospherics. […]
‘Fire’- Ashes to Anthem, Tijuana Bullfight Set the Scene Ablaze with new single
Tijuana Bullfight’s latest single ‘Fire’ is a true warning siren, born in the belly of California’s literal and metaphorical flames. It’s the sound of survival wrapped in distortion, a snarling declaration that even if the world burns, you don’t go quietly. Written during the hellscape that was early 2020, with pandemic panic outside and wildfire […]
‘(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike’- Pedals and Poetry, Jasmine Gardosi & Dan Whitehouse Ride the Rhythms of Recovery
There’s a quiet kind of power in songs that whisper resilience and hum along beside you like a familiar road. ‘(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike’, the debut collaboration between poet-performer Jasmine Gardosi and singer-songwriter Dan Whitehouse, is one of those rare tracks. Released on National Cycle to Work Day, this is no mere […]
‘Spirit Box’- Love Ghost Blurs Light and Darkness on new single
If Love Ghost has made anything clear over the years, it’s that they’re unafraid of confronting darkness head-on, and their new single is no exception. While the title ‘Spirit Box’ suggests séance-level spookiness, what unfolds is something more surprisingly tender: a pop-laced portal into grief, longing, and the quiet ache of unresolved connection. Built around […]

Elena C. Lockleis might not be a household name just yet, but ‘Couldn’t Replenish’ makes a compelling case for why they should be. With a sound rooted in emotional honesty and atmospheric tension, this latest single blends minimalist pop instincts with a quietly cinematic scope, landing somewhere between confessional vulnerability and slow-burn catharsis. Written by […]
‘Growing up, growing out’- Saint Nick the Lesser Finds Grace in the Grind on New Album
On his first full-length ‘Growing up, Growing out’, Saint Nick the Lesser delivers a decade-long confession, a worn journal etched into melody, grit, and catharsis. Raised on the unpolished honesty of punk, ska, and anti-folk, and drawing lifeblood from the likes of Frank Turner and Laura Jane Grace, this Upland, California singer-songwriter emerges as a […]
‘Little Game’- Kris Kolls Captures the Chaos of Love on new single
With a wink, a pout, and a heart wide open, Kris Kolls delivers a romantic masterstroke in her latest single ‘Little Game’. It’s playful, cinematic and it’s dripping with the kind of emotional truth that makes great pop music feel universal. Built around a narrative of teasing affection and quiet understanding, ‘Little Game’ turns relationship […]
‘God of the Dead’- Rosetta West, a Dust-Covered Spellbook of Blues, Chaos, and Spirit
If their previous offering ‘Gravity Sessions’ was the exorcism, ‘God of the Dead’ is what crawled out from the smoke. With their latest full-length, Rosetta West once again reject the clean lines and industry sheen of modern rock in favour of something messier, older, and far more alive. This is blues-rock scorched by ghostfire; cracked […]
‘Rêverie’- The Young Liars Reawaken a Decade Later, Still Dreaming in Tension and Groove
Time distorts memory. A decade can feel like a blink, or a lifetime. But for Jakarta’s The Young Liars, it’s both. Their return with ‘Rêverie’, their first release in ten years, unfolds onto the scene, like smoke curling through a memory you’re not sure you want to revisit. Built from a simple drum loop recorded […]
