Leeds-based pianist and composer Simeon Walker  has quietly become one of the most compelling voices in modern/post-classical music. With over 50 million streams worldwide and performances spanning intimate homes, libraries, and cathedrals across the UK and Europe, Walker’s work resists scale in favour of connection. As he embarks on his most expansive UK & Ireland tour to date—deliberately centring overlooked towns and communities—Walker reflects on accessibility, shared lis

Following a breakout 2025, all-women Saudi psychedelic rock band Seera  return with their powerful new EP Sarab , out now via Women in CTRL Records / CTRL Music . Released after the band’s landmark London debut in October, Sarab  captures Seera at their most expansive and self-assured—blending desert-psych, cinematic alt-rock, and Arabic poetry into a body of work that explores transformation, resilience, and rebirth. The EP marks a defining moment for the Riyadh-based quarte

South London producer Just Geo  has spent years deep in the engine room of UK music culture, quietly shaping dancefloors long before the spotlight found him. From pirate radio beginnings to shelling down stages with Wiley , going back-to-back with Idris Elba  at Ministry of Sound , and moving crowds as far afield as a warehouse in Kazakhstan, his instincts behind the decks are battle-tested and undeniable. Now, with the release of his new EP IN/HARMONY , Just Geo steps fully

With soaring hooks, heart-in-mouth honesty, and a sound built for sweaty dance floors and live stages alike, Bives’ new single “Airlines”  captures the band at a moment of lift-off. Following a breakout year that included their debut EP Misery and the Mend  and a run of standout singles, the band are doubling down on what they do best: emotionally charged songwriting powered by the raw thrill of a classic rock band setup. We caught up with Bives to talk about the inspiration

After years of relentless touring and shapeshifting across projects, James Knights returns with Supernatural Lover  — the boldest, rawest chapter yet in the KN/GHTS story. Darkly playful, emotionally charged and unapologetically direct, the record captures obsession, loss and transformation with flashes of macabre humour and dancefloor-ready urgency. Forged from instinct rather than overthinking, Supernatural Lover  is a release that embraces contradiction: shadow and light,

London-based indie artist Louis Velasquez  sits at the intersection of restless guitars and introspective songwriting. Blending indie rock urgency with indie pop sensitivity, his music balances motion and mood — fast-paced rhythms offset by drifting, melancholic vocals. With growing support from BBC Introducing , strong streaming numbers, and a sold-out headline show at The Waiting Room , Louis is carving out a space in the UK’s underground indie scene that feels both thought

Athens-formed punk outfit The Overjoyed  are entering their most confident era yet. With a new self-titled, self-produced album  landing on 20 February , the band strip things back to what matters most: identity, collaboration, and songs that hit hard without losing their heart. Moving away from the cleaner edges of their earlier 90s punk sound and leaning into dirtier, mid-tempo power-pop, the record captures a band fully owning who they are — and where they’re going next. A

Australian alt-pop siblings Sametime  have built their story on risk, movement, and emotional honesty. After uprooting their lives and moving over 11,000 miles from the Sunshine Coast to Brighton, the duo channelled the fear, guilt, excitement, and hope of starting again into their music. Their songs feel lived-in and immediate — diary entries set to glossy, high-impact pop. With new single ‘I Don’t Know Much (But I Know That I Need You)’  and the forthcoming EP Get Out Whils

Get the Army is built on energy, intent, and movement — and like any project rooted in raw performance, its sound didn’t appear out of nowhere. From formative live moments in Nottingham to artists who proved there are no rules between rock, rap, and spoken word, these tracks helped shape the way Dylan Jackson writes, performs, and takes up space on stage. Loud, honest, groove-led, and unapologetic — this is the DNA behind Get the Army. “Starburster” — Fontaines D.C. It’d be r
