Dan Szyller Brings Red Lights Into the Dark

I always end up reading the lyrics after the first listen. Call it curiosity, or professional deformation. Or maybe it's because, as a songwriter myself, the lyrics usually point me towards the real direction of a song. Either way, Red Lights became far more interesting once I realised Dan Szyller's focus had always been the people behind the neon signs and city streets. Red Lights is Dan Szyller's new original single, released on 26 June 2026. The first verse tells […]

Tai Woffinden and David Forbes Fire Up Mirror Mirror

When it's banging, it's banging. I mean... a little bit of high-octane energy never hurt anyone, provided you don't try to explain it with a spreadsheet. I lasted about thirty seconds before reaching for the volume. After that, the neighbours became part of the listening session whether they wanted to or not. That's exactly where I found myself with Tai Woffinden and David Forbes and their latest collaboration, Mirror Mirror. From Speedway to Mainstage Tai Woffinden spent years collecting Speedway […]

Delta Fire Love Stops First

Rock

Delta Fire Keep Chasing Freedom on Love Stops First

One thing my creative journey has given me, besides a few grey hairs, is the chance to meet people who keep creating while the world shrugs, yawns, and asks when the "real job" starts. Yeah, right. The tiny funeral they hold for your dreams while you're still standing there, full of ideas and already planning the next challenge. Then Delta Fire arrive from Glasgow with Love Stops First, leave all that behind, and turn it into a rallying cry for […]

James Poole and GUDFELLA Bring Gator Boots to Defected

I still remember those summers that could melt the shape off your trainers. Every football match ended with someone carrying their trainers instead of wearing them, and every evening finished somewhere music was louder than common sense. Funny thing... decades later, the temperature is still doing her thing. She simply swapped sunburn for strobes and basslines. That feeling came back while I was listening to an advance copy of Gator Boots, the upcoming collaboration from James Poole and GUDFELLA, due […]

TELL Hate Yourself in the Morning

Alternative Rock

Hate Yourself in the Morning by TELL – A Feel-Bad Summer Anthem

I often think one wrong decision has the legs of a marathon runner. You make it today, then tomorrow you have to live with it. TELL seem to understand exactly how that works, and Hate Yourself in the Morning throws it into four minutes of loud, catchy rock. The Boston alternative-rock band released Hate Yourself in the Morning on June 22. Right before their June 25 show at Warp & Weft in Lowell. They also head to O’Brien’s Pub in Allston […]

Mark Griffin Brings Heart and Humour to “Taking Over My Mind”

Love has terrible timing. I know this from personal damage reports. You spend years thinking you know exactly what you want, then someone appears when you least expect it and your emotional GPS starts acting weird. You keep hoping the next update will put everything back on track, only to discover you're already halfway to becoming a grandad. That is the funny little engine inside Taking Over My Mind by Mark Griffin. And I keep coming back to the songwriting, […]

Dust 2 Dust by HEDEGAARD and Curbi Fuels the KIN Album

We're going to get hype with this one, and why not? Summer has a habit of pulling people outdoors, filling dancefloors, and emptying wallets at festival bars. I said wallets? Probably because I've reached that age where I spend half my time talking about music and the other half wondering who convinced grown adults that four hours of sleep counts as a solid plan. Dust 2 Dust by HEDEGAARD and Curbi shows up at exactly the right moment and suddenly […]

m0n0jay Returns With the Industrial Weight Behind “Variant”

m0n0jay is unpredictable. She pointed that out herself, probably hanging it like a trophy on the skills countertop. I wrote about her a month ago, and I loved that brainiac session - it felt like a gym for the ears. Now I apparently have a subscription with this amazing artist, because here comes her second single, Variant, from the upcoming Secret Selfies EP. You might expect me to talk about beats, synths, and production tricks. Fair enough. I will get […]

Ooberfuse Raise Their Voice Up High on Songs Of Courage EP

If you’re brave enough to look up and chase your faith, you probably ask yourself what waits beyond destiny. I think the answer depends on belief, and how much reality you can handle before your regular breakfast. With Songs Of Courage, London alternative-pop duo Ooberfuse and Cameroonian artist Abdel Tchatchet turn that question into three songs shaped by grief, migration, friendship, and the resilience that binds people together. Released today, 20 June 2026, Songs Of Courage arrives hand in hand […]
