Tidal Water’s Bold New Single: Neocolonial Hand

Yeah, neocolonialism - nothing like global exploitation disguised as diplomacy to get the heart racing. And who better to soundtrack this morally murky territory than Tidal Water, the brainchild of Oslo’s own Martin Hovden? On October 10th, the band's latest single, “Neocolonial Hand,” drops, and trust me, it's not your typical light-listening fare. The song will be available at: linktr.ee/thetidalwater once it’s released. This song bites, claws, and exposes the twisted roots of modern-day imperialism, all while you’re nodding along […]

Bermuda Triangle: Lexi Berg Navigates the Unknown with Grace

If the music world had its own Bermuda Triangle, it’d be a place where pop stars go to lose their egos, and raw emotions spill like wine on white carpets. Enter Lexi Berg - who, rather than being the unfortunate shipwreck victim, seems to be captaining her own vessel through it all with her latest track, Bermuda Triangle. Spoiler: it's not about getting lost on a tropical vacation, but about a more familiar, and equally perplexing, kind of disorientation - […]

Tim Camrose: Soaring High with ‘Fly Again

Imagine the ever-shifting sands of the music world. Where even the sturdiest of souls can find themselves lost in a cacophony of should-haves and what-ifs. The world as it is. These days, music philosophy is less about sticking to one lane. It's more about swerving across five at once without signalling. Artists mash up genres with the abandon of a toddler mixing Play-Doh colours. Crafting sounds that might make purists clutch their vinyl collections in horror. This new era, where […]

Highlights

A Time Capsule Full Of Tears For Fears

Ah, Tears For Fears - just when we thought the echoes of "Shout" and "Mad World" might be fading into the annals of pop history, they hit us with "Songs For A Nervous Planet." A time capsule, spliced with live wires from their recent tours and seasoned with four brand new tracks. Slated for release on October 25, 2024, this collection is both a nod to the past and a bold stride into the future. This latest offering isn’t simply […]

Mercurius Returns With “Rifle”: The Sound of a War-Torn Soul

If you thought 2024 couldn't get any weirder, wait till you hear Mercurius' latest single Rifle. Yes, the father-son duo from Newcastle is back, still carrying a rifle on their shoulder - figuratively, of course. But this time, with the Mercurius Rifle release, they're dragging us deep into a cold, desolate room, staring into the abyss of war, loss, and well...a potential new album. But before we dive into the emotional trenches of Rifle, let's take a moment to appreciate […]

James Earl Jones: The Voice That Defined a Galaxy

James Earl Jones' iconic voice has marked the minds of millions. Let’s take a moment to reflect on how millions of us learned to fear the sound of heavy breathing, thanks to his masterful performance as the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars. Jones didn’t need a face on […]

Josh Jensen’s ‘Birdhouse’: The Anthem for the Perpetually Chill

Let me tell you something: Seattle-based singer-songwriter Josh Jensen has been around the musical block. You know, the kind of guy who probably jammed with a guitar on his lap before he could even walk. And now? He’s giving us Birdhouse, a song that can only be described as the soundtrack for that ideal end of summer that never actually happens. You know the one - where you imagine yourself grooving in the sun, but in reality, it’s that Josh […]
