Wagner the Band Drops XTC – A Soul Pop Rock Experience

The first punch: Don’t Stop Movin’ Almost end of the year. It’s like finishing a chapter and preparing for the next one. Then - bang. I stumble on XTC by Wagner the Band and suddenly I’m holding the album I’ll spin on repeat for days. Don’t Stop Movin’ opens the album and lays the foundation for everything that follows. Rainer Wagner shows up with that line - “oh you poor baby… you’re not in the mood” - and it slaps […]

Legends By Andy Smith and Emily E. Finke – A 10,000-Mile Collab

Legends - A Story Carried Across Continents Many people wonder why I keep chasing stories through music. And then a song like “Legends” lands on my desk and answers the question for me. Legends and gentleman - here comes Legends shaped by Andy Smiths and Emily E. Finke. I sat there thinking about two artists on different continents, throwing lines and melodies across oceans, somehow like a bridge made of gold and light. A story about crossing mountains of gold […]

Mercy Kelly goes Out in the Night – A Northern Indie Pulse

Grit in the Air and Fire in the Strings   I wasn’t looking for a memory, but the first seconds of this track brought me back to my restless youth. And that same feeling returned when I sat down with Out in the Night from Mercy Kelly. I crossed paths with their fire earlier this year when I wrote about Breathe For Her, and that track already hinted at the storm they were building. And you know what? I have […]

Reetoxa Amber

Alternative Rock

Reetoxa’s Amber – a grunge-born story carried across decades

Amber: a track of 1995 and still breathes fire Amber by Reetoxa landed in my headphones like a flashback. The artwork pulled me in first: the donkey mask, the older gents in floral shirts, smoke drifting around them as if they’d stepped out of a forgotten film reel. I’ve met enough artists to recognise when someone puts their truth out there without sanding the edges. Jason McKee wrote Amber back in the 90s grit of Frankston. His first song. A […]

Faithless Insomnia – Disclosure’s 2025 Edit Still Won’t Sleep

I found out about the new Insomnia (Disclosure’s 2025 Edit) the way most good news lands these days: Faithless. Disclosure. Insomnia. Thirty years. Out now. For a second I just sat there, staring at the words. You move flats, change cities, grow up, grow old, you swap clubs for early shifts and school runs - but that bassline still knows where the light switch is in your head. Insomnia is one of those. And now Disclosure stepped into that room […]

Michellar – A Game of Love with Rad Datsun and One Big Breath

The Game of Love and the Sweet Chaos Behind It There’s a moment in every song that reveals its core. With Michellar and Rad Datsun’s Game of Love, it hits the second their voices meet on that shared line - “It’s the game of love…” - coming with the ease of two people who’ve been orbiting the same truth for a long time. I sat with that on repeat, coffee cooling next to me, the window showing another grey UK morning. […]

Joseph Kuhl The Witness – A Song Written With Open Eyes

There are songs that tap you on the shoulder, and other that sit across from you like an old friend who brings hard stories to the table. The Witness by Joseph Kuhl does that. I pressed play, and by the time the first verse rolled in - Look in the mirror, look in the stars… I felt I was stepping into something heavier than the usual Friday-release thing. There’s something heavy here, carried with both hands. Maybe it’s because Joseph […]

Weak Trees release Animal – a story of trust, winter, and music

A raw winter memory, a song, and the heartbeat of a four-legged friend. There’s something about a dog’s paw resting on a human hand that always gets me. Maybe it’s the trust. Or that strange honesty only an animal can pull out of you. Weak Trees and their latest single Animal carry a certain warmth from the first look at the artwork, a white paw stacked over human hands like a promise in the cold. I stared at it longer […]

Effusion 35 Rockin’ Coal In My Stocking – A Wild Christmas Cut

Rockin’ Coal In My Stocking – A Christmas Riot With Its Own Rules I never planned to sit down in mid-November and listen to a Christmas track. But here I am, mug of mint tea, boots still wet from the UK rain, staring at Effusion 35 and their Rockin’ Coal In My Stocking single. And thinking... “Alright, these Philadelphia maniacs finally cracked the code” with a song that throws every holiday film trope into a blender and hits turbo. I’ve […]
