Alex Thomen isn’t the kind of artist you can easily pin down. Trained as a composer, he has written everything from cinematic trailer music to intimate solo piano pieces, and now he’s dropped a satirical rock single that feels both timely and timeless.
“Where Did They Go Wrong?” is sharp, funny and just a little bit tragic. It’s a song that digs into the irony of people you once knew taking turns you never would have expected. Continue reading
“Rise” hits like a slow motion collision you can’t look away from. From the opening piano chords, there’s a mournful, searching quality, a reflection of the climate despair so many of us can feel.
Elias Schutzman, the mind behind Revvnant, calls it a “slow-motion car crash”. It’s horrifying, hypnotic and strangely beautiful all at once. And it’s “Rise” that carries that tension through layers of rage, despair and fleeting hope, echoing the emotions we feel as we watch the world unravel.
The visualizer to accompany the track was created by Morgan Beringer Studio, which has been BAFTA nominated for its video art and post production work. This video mirrors the tension in “Rise” perfectly. Continue reading
With latest single “Shallow”, Animals in Denial, the project of singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Christian Ines, delivers not just a song but a psychological plunge into one of the darkest corners of human connection.
Now paired with a new video directed by Jon Paul Anderson, “Shallow” becomes even more unsettling. This is a visceral, first person descent into the claustrophobic mindset of someone who knows they’re trapped in a toxic relationship but can’t break free yet. Continue reading
With their new single Threshold, Portland Maine’s based rock outfit Moments Of sound like a band standing squarely in their stride. And taking a big step forward.
Mixing the sound of early 2000’s emo with the dynamics of modern alt rock, this new track is both fresh and familiar, as if designed for equal parts packed club singalongs and solitary late night drives. Continue reading
George Collins’s latest single “By the Time” already stands out for its understated Americana. It’s an acoustic rooted outlaw confessional that trades bitterness for quiet resolve.
With the release of the Official Music Video today, the song’s emotional world feels even more tangible, as it unfolds like a short story on screen.
Shot on location at Max’s Steakhouse in Prague, the video leans into the very image Collins imagined while writing the track – a solitary figure at a bar, not burning a letter, but writing one. A “Dear John” note marking the end of a love affair. Continue reading
Reeya Banerjee’s final single before the release of her album This Place is a soaring, echo drenched anthem about grown up love, making tough choices and the bittersweet ache of moving on.
“Upstate Rust” draws its title from a passing comment during Banerjee’s NYC years. Something of an offhand phrase that became a personal badge of identity, and which is now the emotional centerpiece of this record. Continue reading
For anyone who’s ever worked a 9 to 5 in New York City, Reeya Banerjee’s latest single “Runner” might hit a little too close to home, only in the best way possible.
It’s a sharp, breathless burst of punk-leaning indie rock that captures the madness of the daily grind with wit, style and honesty. Continue reading
With today’s release of “Nightmare Paradise”, rock veterans SIREN have delivered a hauntingly cinematic track that blurs the line between romance and ruin.

In her stunning new single “Open Wide”, Havilah Tower delivers a deeply vulnerable meditation on disillusionment, inner clarity and the slow, powerful unraveling that often precedes healing.
“Open Wide” is the kind of song that feels like sitting across from someone who, after a long silence, finally decides to say the thing they have been holding in their chest. And when they say it, the room changes. Continue reading
With their new single “Faraway,” German alt rock band Stigma step beyond the boundaries of genre into something far more intimate.
It’s not just a single — it’s a statement: raw, atmospheric and charged. And, as the first offering from their upcoming debut album Second Chance, “Faraway” sets the tone for a record that promises to be as personal as it is powerful. Continue reading
