Samuel Yuri’s Epic Scales arrive like a voltage strike across the sky, with all tension, atmosphere, and raw, unpolished force. The São Paulo composer has always blurred genre borders, but here he leans harder into the volatile blend of grunge grit, gothic gloom, and classic rock melodrama that fuels his…

Layla Kaylif is an English–Arab singer-songwriter once described as a “Pop Poet” (The New Paper, Singapore) and hailed as “one of the UK’s most intriguing under-the-radar voices” (Curious For Music). Her music moves between alt-rock confessional and spiritual pop, weaving poetic lyricism with a darkwave atmosphere. Her latest single, “Closer,”…

JW Paris swings back into the spotlight with “Anything,” hitting like a pint thrown across a packed Camden bar. Premiering in October 2025, the track doubles down on everything the London trio does best with the grit, smugness and that unmistakable dirty Britpop snarl that feels ripped straight from a…

Austin-based alternative rock band Arctic Wave returns with a vengeance on their blistering new single “Circus,” released October 24, 2025. The song is a gut-punch of a wall of fire and distortion, alongside raw emotion and observation of all the mess we have made. Written by the band’s founder and…

“Truth Over Lies” is a soaring, impassioned protest anthem from San Francisco-based artist Michellar, released October 31, 2025. The track was born during a songwriting retreat in Idyllwild, California, where Michelle Bond, Michael Levine, and Matthias Schmidt shaped the song’s lyrical and sonic foundation. Drawing unmistakable influence from U2 and…

“Down in the Dirt” comes as another hard-hitting strike from Yorkshire’s Feral Family, the band whose intensity is a state of being. Raised on the quiet seaside yet fueled by dystopian sagas and desert-noir mythology, they’ve built a sound that feels like it could collapse a landscape and rebuild it…

Seattle’s La Need Machine returns with “Rock and Roll Show,” a single that doubles as a love song and a declaration of devotion to the music that has carried them through every high and low. On the surface, it sounds like a heartfelt, warm, earnest tribute to a partner, full…

Following the late-2025 release of his second album Gift In The Shadows, UK singer-songwriter Charlie Freeman, known as FREE/MAN, returns with the Reconnection EP, a smaller but deeply intentional offering that acts almost like a spiritual palate cleanser. Where the album wrestles openly with darkness, forgiveness, and the long road…
