Mercy Kelly’s “Summer of Silence” is a confident four-track EP that captures the spirit of classic Britpop while embracing the dreamy textures of modern indie rock.It’s comprised of two previous singles titled “Breathe For Her” and “Speak Too Soon”, with the former being the opening track, and what an opening track it is. As you may know, we have previously reviewed that track, so we are going to be skipping that today.

Sutlej is back with the new offering, “Tell Me You Care”. The track opens with a delicate guitar sound that reminds me of those alt bands and grunge bands of the late 90s scene…. adark, nostalgic alt-rock build-up that erupts into an atmospheric and powerful finale.The sense of nostalgia on this is rather strong, with the vocals even sounding like they have been lifted right out of the post-punk rock scene.The trio have really delivered quite the song here, with a very dark and moody opening minute. It steadily builds over the next 50 seconds until it explodes for the…
Skar de Line’s “Personal Martyr” is a striking fusion of alternative rock, industrial pop, and cinematic electronics.The intro alone got me, and well before any vocals came in, there was a mixture of sounds that reminded me of Asian music mixed with big breakbeat drum patterns. It is a real onslaught for your ears, but in the best way possible…. acinematic, genre-blurring alt-rock track that hits with intensity, atmosphere, and late-night drive energy.The genres that are mixed here are nothing short of stunning, and even though this is his first single since 2025’s “The Screen”, this is a flawless track…

Haiden Henderson lands with NSFW, a volatile new single out now via Island EMI Label Group, pushing his pop instincts into heavier, sharper territory. Produced by Benny Cassette and mixed by Manny Marroquin, the track moves like a pressure build: low vocal grit, falsetto lift, then a punk-rock detonation driven by electric guitars and drums built for impact. It does not sit politely in one lane. Good.Henderson says:This is unlike anything I’ve heard before. Each section shows off a new part of what I do as a writer and singer. From gravelly whispers to airy falsetto to rage against the…
B52sB52s | DEVOO2, London20th June 2026Quirky titans of early-days-MTV B52s and DEVO bring their respective eccentricity, via their Cosmic De-Evolution Tour, to London’s O2 for a very special and nostalgic evening.For anyone who has never been to the O2 before, for some of us it will never stop being the Millenium Dome, purpose-built to house the Millenium exhibition – then later recommissioned as a music and entertainment centre, with London’s largest arena at its centre. A gobsmacking amount of money was spent on the recommissioning, and the acoustics. However, the sound is rarely not echoey and vacuous – something to…
One of our most anticipated books of the year, Paul Tremblay’s latest, Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep, is all set to publish this coming June 30th through Bloomsbury. Taking aim at contemporary AI anxieties and the growing influence of technology giants, the book spins a surreal, darkly satirical and terrifying work of speculative fiction about technological overreach and human fragility that feels all too plausible in the not-too-distant future. The book follows Julia Flang, a twenty-something temp, who is tasked with remotely guiding a man in a vegetative state – whose implanted AI links him to a shifting, nightmarish…
Deep, reflective alt-americana that certainly rocks.Ain’t Never Moving On marks a new chapter for the band. It is their first album in almost a decade, and it is certainly well worth the wait. With ten new songs, it feels like a very mature album that bowls along very nicely indeed while still having a pleasantly reflective feel about it.Having formed in Victoria. They cut their teeth in the bars across Canada with their particular brand of jangly guitar-driven, tougher americana and quickly got a reputation as ‘dive bar warriors’ with a crowd-pleasing blend of rockier songs and a number of…
I’ll be totally honest with you, at least 25% of the clothes I own are Sleep Token-related. I went slightly nuts/bankrupt at the merch table during their late-2024 Take Me Back To Eden tour, last year at Download, and I even bought an ST tee at Primark last month, because that’s a thing now.So, I was positively giddy when an email from Sleep Token hit my inbox announcing ‘Behold, Prime Day is here’. Now, Sleep Token aren’t shy about merch drops (can we have a new tour instead please, lads?), but this sale is actually really decent: for a limited…
Somewhere I have a cassette tape of this session, recorded from the TV using the tiny built-in audio mic on my radio cassette player; very low tech. The recording was further embellished with random sneezes from my Dad, particularly irritating at the time. This Old Grey Whistle Test special from The Shepherd’s Bush Theatre was one of the first times I’d ‘witnessed’ Skynyrd and 51 years later I still absolutely love this band, this song and Second Helping, the album it was taken from, a southern rock masterpiece and their best by a country mile.This song is of course a…
