Welcome to Nowheresville: The Dogmatics Ride Again

I was eight in 1981. Somewhere in a blocky Eastern European flat, probably pretending to be a robot or spacing out to cartoons. Meanwhile, halfway across the world, The Dogmatics were plugging into amps that hummed like faulty streetlights and getting ready to rattle Boston’s bones. Flash forward 43 years. It’s 2025, and those same bones are rattling again - not from memory, but from Nowheresville, a brand-new album from a band that knows exactly where it comes from and […]

Hinterlands by Harry Verheijen: A Trip Through The Hinterspaces

Into the Wild Without a Map Some silences carry weight. Not the hollow kind - this one feels like fog hugging your windshield at midnight. That’s where Harry Verheijen comes with Hinterlands and plants its flag. In that stretch of terrain where no one’s rushing to be heard, and yet everything resonates, Hinterlands quietly takes its place. Pulled straight from the middle of Fields of Passage - Harry Verheijen’s ten-track ambient album - this tune doesn’t actually try to seduce […]

Sons of Martha’s Skyrocket – The Power-Pop Rush With Big Charm

Another Hit from the Night Shift Digging through the daily findings is a gamble - sometimes you strike gold. What did I find today? Full jackpot. Fresh sound, bright chords, and the kind of magnetic pull that turns a simple track into a late-night companion. Sons of Martha are back, and Skyrocket is burning through the skyline with jangly guitars, sharp hooks, and a restless heartbeat. Released on July 4th, this single leans into that unmistakable London indie spark: clean […]

KC Star & Austen the Poet Drift into Heartache on In My Dreams

When You’re Half-Asleep and Still Lying to Yourself I didn’t need to read the press release to know what this one was about. KC Star's In My Dreams sounds like that quiet moment after everyone leaves the party. When you’re staring at a half-empty glass and realizing the thing you miss isn’t coming back. That’s where KC Star and Austen the Poet are writing from. Not the break-up. The echo of it. Released on July 11th, this dream-pop track feels […]

Wild Mountain Mystics Released The Fire & Honey Single

A Spark Caught in a Song: “Fire & Honey” Some songs arrive the way summer storms do. Charged, sudden, and full of feeling. Fire & Honey, the latest single from Southern California duo Wild Mountain Mystics, caught me right between memory and motion. It begins with a shimmer: "Off she goes higher and brighter / Lightnin’ in the sky..." And just like that, I was there - watching someone shed the weight of the world at the edge of the […]

Skar de Line Inside: A Delicate Descent into the Layers of Self

Inside Skar de Line: When the Mirror Dares You to Look and You Still Stare Back I still remember writing about Vignette, where Skar de Line torched his blank self-portrait like it owed him rent. That track was brooding, poetic, theatrical. A sort of sonic slow burn that left ash trails in your brain. But this new one - Inside - it slices. Not in a violent way, more like delicate autopsy work. And the subject on the table? Himself. […]

Temperature Falls Back with Wishes, Dreams – A Haunting Reverie

The Sound of Holding On When You're Not Sure Who's Letting Go It’s 2am. The time in the night when I usually do notes on the music I like. That strange hour when your thoughts stop trying to be well-mannered. I’m listening to Wishes, Dreams, the new single from Oslo’s own Temperature Falls, and it feels like someone bottled that 2am unease into a sound. Ethereal, raw, and soaked in late-night mood swings. After a two-year silence, Camilla and Ian […]

Bailey Perrie Remixes For the Plot with Fire and Fearlessness

From Perth to the Club Circuit – Bailey Perrie Is Here There’s something magnetic about artists who move. They shift gears mid-ride, hop on a plane to LA, and film a music video for an album that’s still under wraps. Bailey Perrie does exactly that. The singer-songwriter from Western Australia has been on a roll, gathering radio love, streaming numbers, and fan playlists across the globe. Now, she’s diving headfirst into the dancefloor chaos by remixing For The Plot that […]

Marcus Smith’s Permeate – A Love Song Painted in Hip-Hop Tones

I love hip-hop. Always have. I remember being a kid, sitting on the floor of my bedroom, rewinding cassette tapes, trying to catch that cadence. Trying to spit it back like I was part of something bigger than myself. Back then, it was braggadocio and block parties. Now? Sometimes, you stumble into a track that resonates for real. That’s where Permeate by Marcus Smith featuring Bedrooms hits. Let’s talk about this one. The Flow of a Love Story in Full Color […]
