Having already sent shockwaves through the alternative world with the emotionally devastating "Prettier," the Corey Taylor collaboration "BLAME," and the groundbreaking "Rose McGowan" featuring Rose McGowan herself, Kid Bookie returns with perhaps his most explosive statement yet. For more than a decade, the South East London visionary has been tearing down the walls between UK rap, alternative rock and heavy music, carving out a sound entirely his own. From earning early rec

Lithuanian progressive metal band Black Spikes follows a dark path with the latest single from their upcoming album, 'Ydos' (out August 28, 2026 via Napalm Records). “ZELVAR” portrays greed and thereby expands the record’s concept—an exploration of humanity’s vices. Featuring the only English lyrics on 'Ydos', the new song adds a special kind of accessibility to what is otherwise a heavy-hitting track, contrasting fiercely explosive energy with a gentle chorus. Raw rage and a

Heavy rock band Audrey Horne continue to deliver absolute hit material with their new single "God Damn Beautiful," cut from the new 8th studio album 'Achilles' (out September 4, 2026, via Napalm Records)! This groovy, Thin Lizzy -inspired track brings bass player Espen Lien to center stage on lead vocals, and arrives with a playful official music video. Audrey Horne on "God Damn Beautiful": "The fight for being center stage and in the limelight has always been strong and at

Derry “radical alt-pop” duo Beauty Sleep (aka producer/songwriters Cheylene Murphy and Ryan McGroarty) are pleased to return with new single ‘We Don’t Talk About It’ out now via Alcopop! Records. A sexual awakening anthem dedicated to throwing off the shackles of a sheltered Catholic School upbringing, ‘We Don’t Talk About It’ is a glitter-pop ode to embracing the kinkier side of life, and yourself. Commenting on the song, the band’s Cheylene Murphy says: “This song is about

Amon Amarth announce The Allfather Awakens – a ten-song masterwork that further cements the legacy of the Swedish metal titan’s spectacularly memorable riffs and unflinching melodic aural power. The Allfather Awakens sees its release October 2 via Metal Blade Records. For Amon Amarth, a new album marks the beginning of a new world. As with previous records, Oden, the Norse “all father” who is a deity of war, wisdom, death, magic, and poetry, is the through-line in Amon Amar

Fresh from appearances at 2000trees and Back Doune The Rabbit Hole, feminist feral theatre-punks Twat Union are delighted to return with new summer banger single ‘TV BIKINY’ out now via Alcopop! Records. Recorded by the band’s Kate Mac and producer Jonny Firth, ‘TV BIKINY’ was mixed by Jonny Firth and mastered by Izzy McPhee, and is an ode to letting it all hang out when it feels like the world is telling you to tuck it in. Commenting on the new single, vocalist Kate Mac says

Bristol emo/alt-rock quartet downcast are back with their first new music of 2026, and it is the most deeply personal song the band have ever released. We're going to hand straight over to downcast frontman Liam Edwards, as he's the only one who can do justice in explaining their new single: "‘falling to pieces’ is about my little brother who passed away last September at the age of twenty-eight. He struggled with severe alcohol addiction for a long time, which eventually ca

Brighton’s alt-punk force majeure SNAYX are back with an enormous new single built around a colossal, earworm chorus that demands to be shouted back at full volume. “Nice Day 4 It” (out now via the band's new label, Nettwerk Music Group) is equal parts festival anthem and existential meltdown; its deceptively euphoric hook feels destined to become SNAYX's next unforgettable catchphrase. Beneath its swagger, however, lies something far more bittersweet, and it's a sentiment

Swedish metalcore visionaries Imminence have announced their sixth studio album, 'Axis Mundi', set for release on 2nd October via Sumerian Records. As the album’s world continues to take shape, the band introduce two new songs that arrive back-to-back and offer distinct perspectives into 'Axis Mundi', each revealing a different emotional and sonic dimension of the record. Following the release of 'The Sword That Never Bends', the first chapter in the album’s unfolding narrati

Kim Dracula has signed to Rise Records and shares 'Molecular Conversion', a new single that volleys between hushed, melodic moments and unrelenting intensity, underscored by Kim Dracula’s theatrical flair and singular vocal versatility. Kim Dracula shares: “Finally, you will get to see the next chapter. New song. New label. New story.” Directed by Max Moore, the 'Molecular Conversion' video finds Kim Dracula, their band, and backing vocalists dressed entirely in white, perfor
