When We Collapse  finds Hollowed Sky carving out a sound that feels both expansive and deeply personal, as though we’re being pulled into a space where weight and atmosphere coexist. Throughout the record, we hear the band weaving together elements of alternative rock, metal, doom rock, and more ambient textures, creating a sonic identity that feels fluid yet intentional. The guitars stretch and bend in avant-garde directions, offering riffs and tonal choices that do not just

Many heavy rock bands write from anger, frustration, or pure release. MegaDestroyer does something a little less expected on “STEAM.” This song still has the push, volume, and sweep you want from a big modern rock track, but underneath it is a real fascination with learning, and the idea that curiosity can pull a person out of a dark place. That’s what gives “STEAM” its own shape. It isn’t posturing as some galaxy-brained concept piece, and it isn’t burying itself in melodram

Betty Moon is stepping back into focus with a new chapter. The longtime alt pop fixture has announced Strangely Beautiful , a six track EP due April 17, marking her first original release since 2021’s Cosmicoma . Leading the return is “Want Me To,” a sleek and charged single that leans into the swagger and sonic identity that made Moon a cult name during the 90s alternative boom. The track blends rock attitude with glossy electropop and soul influences, landing somewhere betw

If you're not too familiar with the sounds of Sherise, then let us be among the first to introduce you to the artist, who recently dropped a new single that brings on a lot of uplifting spirit and delves into coming up from the ashes, rising above, feeling good, and getting ready to boogie. "Funk Train" is certainly not just a clever name. This single brings on the funk like no other, and does it with this old-school approach as well. Very Soulful too. It's like a soul-funk b

A new album release from Mark Branscombe brings out a wonderful blend of completely warm and welcoming tonality coming from the guitars and vocals. The album comes forth in the form of a blend of what I consider to be Americana, folk rock, and blues. This is a very rootsy feeling record and a lot of the songs send messages, what others tell stories. Either way, you're getting a lot to chew on, and a lot of these tracks make you think. The instrumentation is absolutely full-bo

James Artissen returns with BIGG BAGGZ once again, and this time the duo released a massive EP that has such an amazing blend of energies because the two of them together complement each other damn near perfectly throughout the entire record. The EP takes some of the best elements of hip hop and R&B, brings them together, and creates something that's got its own atmosphere, to an extent. There's never a dull moment throughout this entire thing, and the flow that's delivered i

For the band ALBORN, 2026 is already shaping up to be a year spent largely on the road. The group has announced a string of touring activities across multiple regions of the United States, including support slots, festival appearances, and a newly released single that hints at where their sound is heading next. That new track, Devil’s Dance, dropped alongside an official music video and is now available everywhere. The song reflects a direction the band has been developing ov

Joerg Peters, the producer releasing music under the moniker Fantomacs, is pretty well known for his level of experimentation and bringing together some jazz styles along with blending ambient electronic, house, dance, and EDM into what he does. This is an artist and producer who pushes his own boundaries with almost every song he puts out there, and his library of those releases is actually pretty extensive. The project can go in a smooth jazz direction, pianos and spacey sy
