Their debut single, ‘State of Stability’, draws directly from their lived experience with Bipolar Disorder II, using songwriting as a space for reflection, release and connection. The track has already picked up local radio support from EHFM and Indy Live Radio, while its launch

South Wales’ Sawtega are turning pain into something you can physically feel. The band’s latest single, “God Complex,” is a ferocious blast of sludgy “Nettle-Core”, smashing together blazing nu-metal, grunge snarl and slasher-film imagery into a track built for catharsis. Following previous single “Inherit”, the track offers another glimpse into the band’s forthcoming debut EP, All Blood Dries, due in November 2026. Centred on the messy process of leaving behind a situation t

Brooklyn alt-rockers MX LONELY have shared “Ex Rae Punk,” a pummelling new single featuring Caitlin Starr, as they gear up for their forthcoming EP PERFECT HOUSE. Arriving ahead of the EP’s October 2 release via Julia’s War Recordings, “Ex Rae Punk” turns the wreckage of a breakup into something loud, visceral and deeply cathartic.

Built around enveloping pads, a slow-burning groove and Adrián’s own vocals, ‘Lost In Time’ explores the strange limbo of missing someone after a relationship has ended — when the person is

For smelliott, noise was never just about making something difficult to listen to. Starting out in jungle and drum & bass before diving headfirst into harsh noise and eventually harsh noise wall as a teenager, they’ve spent years testing how far electronic music can be pushed without losing its physical pull. Now, that experimentation is feeding back into the dancefloor. Recent releases including Stay Lit, ‘RAVE r’, ‘mint flavouring’, ‘Unlimited exp’ and ‘i dont wanna go home

Manchester/London/Liverpool folk collective Brown Wimpenny have shared their latest single, ‘Shady Grove’, a raucous reworking of the traditional Appalachian folk song, out now via Broadside Hacks. Built from the same sessions as their acclaimed debut album Long Live Brown Wimpenny, the track captures the sheer communal force of the 11-piece at full tilt. Banjo, bodhrán and layered instrumentation collide into something that feels less like a polished studio exercise and more

Brighton-based indie alternative rock project Miler has shared deeply personal new single ‘Betty’, a raw reflection on loss, self-awareness and the choices that shape our lives. Led by Hastings-born artist Calista Morgan, the track was inspired by the final conversation she shared with a friend before her death — a conversation that forced Morgan to reconsider the direction of her own life. “‘Betty’ is about the last conversation I had with a friend before she died, in which
