Sparta have unveiled a brand-new single and video, Everything You Say. Taken from this month’s Cut A Silhouette album, frontman Jim Ward explains that, “The music for this was brought in by Matt [Miller] to the earliest writing sessions at my house in El Paso, tweaked in a hotel room in Oklahoma City and played at a soundcheck that night. It is one of those songs that takes shape early, and no matter how you adjust, it just keeps ending up back where it started. I love it. This is a dreamy song about longing and love. A big scream…
The wait is finally over for fans of fuzzed-out riffs and swampy swagger, as the Pennsylvania riff-lords Crobot have officially dropped their latest full-length, Supermoon. Arriving today via Silver Lining Music, the record is being billed as a return to the band’s “dirty groove rock” origins, leaning away from some of the heavier metal leanings of recent years and back into the primordial ooze of funk-infused hard rock.Recorded between the legendary Pedernales Studio – owned by none other than Willie Nelson – and the Machine Shop in Dripping Springs, the album was apparently born out of a fairly spiritual process.…

The Allergies have always flirted with funk, soul and party starting breaks, but here they strip it right back. No gloss, no gimmicks, just beats, bass and bars. It’s deliberate, and it hits hard.The video leans fully into that intensity. Directed by Maculate, it’s a chaotic, monster movie inspired trip with radioactive goo, giant rampaging MCs, and a healthy dose of vintage sci fi destruction. Think Godzilla meets King Kong but with turntables and battle rap energy dialled up to eleven.Beyond this release, The Allergies are riding serious momentum. Support from BBC Radio 6 Music continues to build, and their…
New York’s own Jessica Lynn is back with a fresh track, and this time she’s turning up the gain. Her latest single, “Truckin’”, has just landed on all digital platforms, and it sees the singer-songwriter trading in some of her Nashville polish for the raw energy of the rock bands she grew up playing in.According to Jessica, “Truckin’” is all about that “foot on the gas” mentality. It’s a song about perseverance and refusing to sit still once you’ve set your sights on a goal. While she’s often labelled as “country arena rock,” this new material leans much more heavily…
In this two part article focusing on the strange and unexpected, we take a look at some uncharacteristically weird diversions from otherwise conventional bands that have taken fans by surprise.It’s not always the more consciously left field or avant garde artists that are renowned for releasing some of the weirdest and most defiantly unclassifiable music.

One is a ten-track journey that hits like a gut-punch from start to finish, ranging from the atmospheric vibes of…
Marking the arrival of the flower moon – the first of two full moons in May – Peter Gabriel has today released the next song from his forthcoming album oi. Listen to “Won’t Stand Down (Bright-Side Mix)” below: “It’s really a song to encourage some sort of activism,” says Gabriel. “I had originally thought about trying to create some music for The Elders.org, who are an extraordinary group of people. Their currency is not based on military power, economic power or political power, but just the moral authority they have from having lived extraordinary, selfless lives. That’s something which I…
