The song was forged in the isolation of a Welsh winter. Newly married and recently relocated to the UK, the duo found themselves stranded

Daniela returns with “Bésame”, a single that is at once flirtatious, intimate, and radiantly fun.

There’s a point in every band’s early arc when self-belief begins to eclipse self-doubt—when the vision sharpens, but the horizon still feels intimidatingly vast. On “Star Song,” EMERG bottle that precise tension. The St Catharines four-piece capture the sensation of standing at the lip of something bigger than yourselves, peering outward with equal parts awe and appetite. It’s less a victory lap than a deep breath before the leap. “Star Song” finds EMERG suspended between ro

Ukrainian artist Vi Talli continues to shape a deeply personal narrative with her latest single, Running, a release that transforms upheaval and displacement into forward momentum.

Get Ready  finds Katie Dauson at a moment of clarity. Known for her genre-fluid songwriting and instinctive musicianship, the Toronto-based artist uses this single to reaffirm her connection to the roots of rock and roll while pushing her sound forward with renewed conviction.

MirrorMouth returns with ‘Honest Emancipation’ , a single that doesn’t shout to be heard — it steadies itself, looks you in the eye, and asks you to think.

It’s not built for instant reaction; it’s built for reflection. There’s a distinct intellectual backbone to MirrorMouth’s work. A former Swiss private banker, he draws fro

Rocky Michaels has built his reputation on the strength of subtlety. With ‘Going Going Gone’ , the independent Americana songwriter refines that approach into something quietly commanding — a meditation on release that resists melodrama in favour of grounded reflection.

Michaels draws from the well-worn iconography of American highways — o

Isolation has long been heavy music’s most fertile ground. On A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone , Survivalist turn that isolation inward, weaponising it across 42 tightly coiled minutes. The Belfast quartet’s second full-length arrives with the weight of expectation following 2021’s critically lauded VII —and it responds not with reinvention, but refinement. Survivalist’s calling card, “Groovecore,” thrives on tension: groove-driven riffs that feel almost danceable if they

Finesse Cobain’s latest single, Chosen , is an ambitious melding of emotional hip-hop, underground rap, and cinematic storytelling. From the outset, the song’s brooding production draws listeners into Cobain’s world, where vulnerability and defiance coexist. His lyrical delivery is direct, confessional, and imbued with the kind of raw honesty that commands attention. The track’s origins are as intense as its sound. Cobain survived a near-fatal shooting in 2019 and later endur
