Keeana Kee “Tik Tok”: The Ultimate Summer Anthem Groover City
SHARA STRAND’S “HAPPY ENDING” HITS DIFFERENT – AND THAT’S THE POINT There’s something wild about hearing a love song that doesn’t wallow in heartbreak, doesn’t lecture you on empowerment, and doesn’t try to outdo Shakespeare in metaphors. And I am talking about Happy Ending, the new single by NYC’s own Shara Strand. The song was released on 22nd May 2025, and I feel it like a throwback and a throw-forward in […]
Aly Berry The Wrong Man: A Jazz Revelation with Smoky Truth There’s a special kind of ache that jazz knows how to dress in satin and pour into a lowball glass. Aly Berry’s The Wrong Man does just that - and maybe lights a cigarette while it’s at it. I told her that saying I love you to the wrong man is a scar that hums when it rains. She […]
WHEN POETRY MEETS LOSS AND A SPICE GIRL TRIBUTE STARTS IT ALL We all lost someone. And I personally feel these moments - the ones where I appear strong, moving on, cracking a tired joke at work, or nodding politely at the coffee queue. But the heart’s the only one that really knows. It carries the silence in between songs, the sudden memories, the weight that never makes it into […]
The Suburbs Just Got Loud There’s a moment in life when you realize the cul-de-sac has teeth. That moment might come in the form of a thunderous rock track from Bells Beach trio The Burbs. Their latest single, There's No Time for Presents, is a twisted little gem wrapped in big riffs, existential grit, and just enough wine-fueled chaos to keep it interesting. It barrels into your living room with […]
Stoke-on-Trent, Sweet Talk, and the Snap That Started It All There’s something about small cities that either crushes your dreams or becomes the reason you chase them harder. For Mara Liddle, it was the latter. She grow up in Stoke-on-Trent - that proud, potteries-built town in England where everyone knows everyone and gigs are as sacred as your mum’s Sunday roast. And music was the lifeline rather than just background. […]
Not Your Usual Goddess: Meet DBSock I’ve heard a lot of debut EPs. Some glitter, some groan. But The Journey by DBSock doesn’t care about either. It just breathes. And sometimes it howls. This six-track introduction to the world from Mingwei Gao - aka DBSock - is no industry sugar cube. It’s a full-bodied kick to the chest, sung with bare vocals and bleeding-edge production. Pure art pop and electronic […]
Laughing Cats Ignite Indie Pop with “Love On Fire” - DIY Heat You Can Dance To Venus might still be out of reach for humankind, but Love On Fire gets close if you’ve got decent headphones and a halfway-beating heart. Laughing Cats - yes, those retro-fuelled renegades we already met on Jerk and GYB - are back. This thing fizzes like cola and rum poured over the speakers - wild, […]
When the Strings Speak Louder Than Sermons Venus might be that far for the human kind, but faith? That thing sits right under your ribs, heavy and quiet. Until someone like Jaydabe The Maestro starts poking at it with orchestras and trap drums. His track Armor rises from a rawer place - less stained glass, more blood and backbone. Somewhere darker. Born in a North Carolina home studio and carried […]
The Sound of Chaos, Played Softly Venus might still be burning hot in the night sky, but it feels closer than ever when you listen to Intertwined, the latest offering from Delta of Venus - a band that refuses to die, refuses to behave, and refuses to color inside the lines. Released May 7, 2025, this new two-track single drifts through its own atmosphere, unbothered by trends or timelines. Intertwined […]
I Used to Wait for Trains, Too I was always waiting for a train. We all do. As a kid, I’d wander down to the station in my small town and just stand there - watching the comings and goings, imagining destinations, tracing tracks with my eyes like they held answers. So when Mats Dernánd drops a song titled Waiting for a Train, I get it. Not just the title. […]
A Box, a Crash, and the Curse of Lost Songs You ever lost a hard drive? I did. Years ago. It had old beats, voice notes, plugins I’d never find again. One day it clicked, the next it just didn’t. So when I read that MrMessy - real name Lukas Speissegger - lost nearly all his electronic creations in a digital crash, I didn’t need to imagine it. I felt […]
A Protest Song in a Basement Jacket Oreaganomics. Just the name makes you think of something between a stoned history lesson and a garage punk manifesto. And Audacity, their third single off the upcoming album And Introducing....shane!!!!, doesn’t disappoint on either front. Released from the heartland - Lincoln, Nebraska - on February 6, 2025, this track is a slap in the face to complacency and a beer-soaked hymn for those […]
