A new single release from Laptop delivers quite a fun experience with a pop-coated single, coming through colorfully with brightness and sort of warm catchiness, along with a particular sort of quirkiness as well. "I Don't Know" comes through as a piano pop track, and along with the energy level being vibrant and the welcoming sonic presence being evident, the track boasts a lot of character. You have a thriving bass guitar line, piano is the main instrument, and a '90s beat,

A new release from Special K's just dropped, and the song has a very deepening sentiment that feels a little raw and incredibly relatable to many of us, lyrically descriptive and unafraid, vulnerable and impactful, with music that gives a sort of hazy warmth derivative of Songs written in the 50s or 60s. "Talk To Me" is a track that focuses on losing a loved one and all the many stages of grief that come along with it. The sentiment of wondering what's happening with that per

A pretty personal record from Planks came out, and it has a wonderful way of stretching across a series of genres that all have something a little different to offer, from classic rock-oriented feels, riffs, and guitar tones, to a warmer, more folk-inspired style. The EP, titled pilot, has a way of giving off a righteous and very bright tone a lot of the time, songs such as "Mr. Well Informed" provide a lot of the combination of warmth and brightness but also gives you plenty

A new single release from The Kunins is composed of two tracks that each showcase a lot of personality and depth of character, portrayed by descriptive and detailed lyrics that express such emotion and inner thought that you are just drawn to the entire thing.

She's clearly coming from some real place, and you can feel the emotion in a performance and just putting a lot of that personality out there for all to soak

My Free Heart, the new single from Iranian-born artist and peace advocate Shervin Boloorian (out September 19). Recorded in both English and Persian, this moving track is a heartfelt plea against war with Iran and a call for peace across the Middle East.

Kipper reflects:

If you're not quite familiar with the music of Kayn Falcon, then now is a great time to get introduced, as the producer and artist just released a new track called "Automatic", which certainly showcases and ability to create vibrant textures and tones but still keep a blend of color, edginess, and drive. The track wastes very little time coming right in with bendy and heavy-handed synthesizers that give off a melodic approach and have a tasteful feel, bringing the song to a b

A new album released from wireless frank.n.stein brings out a flurry of incredibly well-performed, semi-theatrical, melodically driving but slightly haunting and edgy metal approaches that come together with this outstanding sonic presence, addicting riffs, and animated vocals that help drive the record, and the whole thing embodies a very particular atmosphere that's all its own.

It’s hard to picture the international metal circuit without Madzilla LV in it now — but their story didn’t start with packed European venues or glowing stage lights. It started in the Vegas underground: hot, loud, and full of grit. The kind of shows where the stage monitors buzz, the crowd’s close, and every scream feels personal. That’s where Madzilla cut their teeth — not just playing music, but commanding it. The band came together with one goal: to recharge the spirit of

A single release from Bray Smizzi brings out an intense swagger and hard-hitting veracity with plenty of uplifting spirit that lets the song truly showcase the artist's presence.
