PJ Harvey has shared a new track, “Voyager”, which is released today on Partisan Records. You can listen to the track below. “Voyager” arrives three years after the release of Harvey’s Grammy-nominated album, 2023’s I Inside the Old Year Dying. The track had already been taking shape as part of Harvey’s next album, when physicist Professor Brian Cox invited her to write a song for his ‘Emergence’ tour. Recorded with a full orchestra at Miraval Studiosin Provence, “Voyager” takes its name from the NASA probes launched in 1977 –containing Carl Sagan’s famed ‘Voyager Golden Record’ –still travelling through interstellar space…

The Heretics’ “Tidal Waves” is a powerful return from the England, UK-based band. It is only their second ever track, following their lead single “Bends & Breaks”, but listen to this: you wouldn’t have thought that. It is one of those unapologetically rock-heavy tracks that is going to get you hooked from the first minute…. ahigh-energy rock anthem built for festivals, mosh pits, and big-stage impact.I have been listening to a lot of Feeder recently, and this song reminded me of their earlier work, so the first time I gave “Tidal Waves” a spin, I was instantly invested in it.…
FM PREMIERECybèle returns with Lovergirl, released via Siren Studios, folding contemporary R&B and dream-pop into a tighter study of self-worth, softness, and emotional boundary-setting. Created with Grammy-winning songwriter Tristan Rice, the track pairs lush harmonies, atmospheric texture, and elegant production with Cybèle’s expressive vocal control.French-American composer, producer, and multidisciplinary artist Cybèle explains:‘Lovergirl‘ is about the journey of pain, beauty, and self-acceptance that comes with learning that love and discernment don’t always live in the same place. As women who love deeply, we have to learn to match our capacity for giving with our ability to recognise who is truly capable…

The remarkable debut of a 21st-century crooner.Where do crooners come from? Surely this thought must have kept you awake in the late hours, when time stands still and there’s nothing to do but face the big questions in life. If we were to make a case study of Andrew Sa, nothing would seem strange about a childhood riding around in a Ford F150 for his mother’s travelling karaoke business. It would also only be natural for names like Roy Orbison or Patsy Cline to emerge as inspirational figures for the young crooner-to-be. But of course, regardless of origin stories, the…
Putting some meat on the bones of last week’s passing reference to a new album when announcing their upcoming live dates, we can now reveal that the new album by The Jayhawks is called Sanctuary Park and it’s due to be released on the 28th of August, with the lead single Keeping Our Heads Above Water being released today. While the album title references an actual location in Dundas, Ontario, Sanctuary Park in the band’s vision is also being used as a fictional place where distant memories re-emerge, childhood friends from years prior start speaking again, and teenage lovers start…
© Adam WilliamsDownload Festival – Sunday (also see Friday and Saturday)Donington Park, Derbyshire14th June 2026By Sunday morning, Download Festival has become a test of character. Rather more specifically, a test of how many questionable decisions made last night could be overcome with coffee and stubbornness.Whatever optimism exists when my alarm goes off quickly disappears. Cameras stay in the bag. The campsite looks brighter than any human being should reasonably be expected to tolerate. Bands are playing somewhere. I assume they are probably very good. Eventually, however, duty calls.And so my final day at Download Festival begins not with an early…
“It’s very hard to make money off it, so might as well have fun, you know.” Right at the end of our chat,Shooting Daggersvocalist/bassistBea Simiondrops that line, and it basically sums up everything: the band, the new recordThe Real Life Thing, the punk ethics, the wrestling, all of it. This is a band living in the space between brutal graft and pure joy, and refusing to give up. We talk about their new release, working with Dennis Lyxzén from Refused, and why women’s wrestling is basically the best thing on TV right now, in WWE, AEW and beyond. “Now It…
We have been big fans of Nate Amos around these parts for some time now and what a few years he’s had. Between delivering breakout records both as a solo artist — under his This Is Lorelei moniker (which we have finally learnt how to spell which is progress) — and with his band Water From Your Eyes, sold out shows across multiple continents, to seeing artists such as Jeff Tweedy, Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman cover his songs, Amos has clearly found his stride, and he’s announcing today details of his next record which arrives on September 11th. As the…
The real showstoppers come slightly later. The emotion at the cracked heart of Love Me is so simple it’s almost primal, but it doesn’t diminish the anguish. ‘My body is all that I’m worth… why doesn’t anyone love me? / I just need someone to want me.’ Meanwhile, the title-track is a howled prayer of a song with a stunning vocal performance from Taylor that travels bloodstream-deep, but it’s the smouldering Dragonfire that’s an unexpected stroke of brilliance, its rhythmic, shifting acoustic guitar chords adding a genuine freshness. Somewhere, the light gets switched back on. About You brings an injection…
From an Instagram advert to a packed room at Gorilla, Lauren Klair explores how Culture Wars are using visual storytelling, authentic audience connection and great songs to build far more than a fanbase. There is a particular kind of comfort in discovering music that feels both familiar and entirely new. Originating from Austin, Texas, ‘cinematic alt rock’ band, Culture Wars, occupies that space effortlessly, blending contemporary alternative rock with the emotional immediacy that defined so much of the music many Millennials and Xennials grew up on. It’s what I can only describe as modern nostalgia, not a longing for a…
