Tiberius - Sag.

Boston’s Tiberius have announced their new album, ‘Troubadour,’ for release via Audio Antihero on November 14th. "Sag" is taken from ‘Troubadour,’ the label debut of Boston’s Tiberius. Originally a solo outing for songwriter Brendan Wright (they/them), the lineup has evolved into a catchy and cacophonous four-piece. With a sound that blends Indie Punk, Alt Country and Psychedelia with confessional but conversational lyrics, Tiberius have dubbed their sound “Farm Emo.” 

After a series of self-releases, which received great praise and support from New England-based press like Allston Pudding and Penny Mag, ‘Troubadour’ sees Tiberius make their label debut with Audio Antihero (Frog / Avery Friedman / CIAO MALZ). 

Artist Statement for "Sag": "Sag is about this dreaded ‘Allston to Bushwick’ pipeline we have in Boston. A lot of musicians end up using Boston to cut their teeth before heading off to New York or LA to pursue their music careers. I wrote ‘Sag’ when I was really playing the ‘comparison game’ in my head and asking myself what role I wanted music to play in my life. It was the first in a batch about looking at yourself in relation to the others around you and trying to decipher who you are without that context.“ – Brendan Wright.

The Outers - Wishy Washy.

The Outers Channel Gritty Glamour and Sonic Edge in New Single “Wishy Washy” Has the time come for another classic London band? The type that bring a uniquely British slant to indie pop and somehow call to mind the entire city’s heritage of catchy personality led guitar pop from X-Ray Specs & The Bellestars to Lush & Echobelly To The Libertines & The Noisettes. Well, here come The Outers to fill that void for the modern audience with their perky new summer single Wishy Washy.

“Wishy Washy” opens with a sharp bass-line and tight dance groove rhythm section before erupting into a chorus packed with raw emotion and biting delivery. The lyrics chart the downfall of a character fuelled by selfish ambition and surface-level charm, exposing the cracks beneath a carefully curated façade. There is a real sense of narrative tension here, told with both sonic swagger and lyrical edge.

As chirpy as the tune may be, the lyrics actually deal with dark subject matter: “It is about a character driven by disguised self interest always trying to take advantage of people and situations, despite permanent efforts to project a glamorous appearance and chase popularity, actions guided by circumstances and greed will clash with his narrative. Acting behind closed doors to gain power by isolating others or pinning them against each other, the character does not realise his intentions show.” - Ade (Singer).

Living Hour - Wheel.

Winnipeg band Living Hour releases "Wheel" this week, the first single from their fourth album Internal Drone Infinity, out October 17 via Keeled Scales. 

Lyricist Sam Sarty writes: "The story of 'Wheel' begins with buying a car off Facebook Marketplace in BC. Turns out the car was junk, but I had no choice but to drive it home to Winnipeg. It took 3 days. I was driving through the mountains, and the headlights were so dim, and for a stretch there was nowhere to turn off. It felt like a weird, horrific video game–navigating the road and dodging danger and trying not to die. I also felt so deeply betrayed by all the men involved in the whole thing."

The song captures a certain powerlessness involved in the affair: the car salesman handing over the keys, the cops interrogating from the side of the road, the ex arguing from the passenger seat. Sarty continues: "In this song, I was able to imagine an alternate reality where I’m a vengeful spectator in these men's lives. What if I had died on the road, and what if I came back and plagued them all with my powerful essence that they so easily dismissed, contorted and took advantage of in order to sell me a fucked up car?"

Anchored by Sarty’s vivid lyricism, shaped by years as a projectionist conjuring stories in a dark theater, the band explores the quiet magic hidden in everyday life. With wistful vocals, textural distortion, and poetic detail, Living Hour capture the ache of memory, the mess of feeling, and the beauty in what remains.

Bunnygrunt - Eggy Greggy.

St Louis, Missouri's favorite indiepop nerds Bunnygrunt are to return with a 30th Anniversary reissue of their long out of print cuddle-core classic 'Action Pants.' The band dug deep and unearthed lost recordings that were left off of the album due to last minute line up changes way back in the day. The album will now finally be heard in the way it was meant to way back 30 years ago adding three never before heard tracks. The album comes out on August 8th on HHBTM Records and the band's own Sillymoo Records label.

 St Louis e’er-do-wells Bunnygrunt sprung fully formed into the Great Indie Pop Underground of the early 1990’s, when gas was cheap, 7” singles grew on trees, and every zine had a reader. After a hugely successful turn at 1994’s YoYo-A-GoGo festival and a steady stream of 45’s, the band hit the studio in early 1995 to record their full length debut Action Pants for LA scene makers No Life Records. 

Unfortunately, the band lineup shifted and the track list contracted between recording and release, leaving a few songs on the cutting room floor. Now is the time to re-introduce the world to the Action Pants it needs now more than ever. Alongside the breezy perfection of Just Like Suppertime, the clattering feedback frenzy of GI2K, the jangle motorik of Open Up And Say Oblina, and the other hits you know and love, faithful Bungalos can now feast their ears on the shambling glory of Eggy Greggy, the transmission from another planet of Maude (in two parts!), and originally planned pre-release single Inanimate Objects. 

Meet Action Pants: The Thirtieth Anniversary Director’s Cut! A split release between Georgia’s Happy Happy Birthday To Me & St Louis’s Silly Moo, it’s just like the old one, only, like, better…

Texas Headhunters - Gimme Some Love.

Texas Headhunters aren’t here to play it slick; they’re here to play it real. This week, the trio of Johnny Moeller, Ian Moore and Jesse Dayton, drop “Gimme Some Love,” the third single from their self-titled debut album, out August 22 on Hardcharger / Blue Élan Records.

This time, it’s Johnny Moeller stepping out front. Long known for his razor-sharp guitar work with the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Moeller shows a new side of his artistry here -- cool, sly, and soaked in Texas groove. Think Ray Wylie Hubbard swagger meets Delbert McClinton soul, with a little Billy Gibbons grit for good measure.

“This one came together real quick in the studio,” says Moeller. “I’m playing rhythm and singing while Jesse and Ian laid down the ‘ancient art of guitar weaving,’ Texas style, all in one live take. The song’s about looking at this crazy world and realizing we all just need a little more love. I was stuck on the third verse, and my wife said, ‘write something about your dog.’ So, ‘my little sweet Talullah’ made the cut.”

Lyrically, “Gimme Some Love” is a gritty gospel-blues plea for redemption, cut with humor and heart. It’s a song about breaking bad habits, riding the soul train out of trouble, and shining a light in the darkness. Musically, this track rides a low-slung groove. With the swampy pulse of Little Feat, the grit of a Chess Records session, and the laid-back cool of a late-night Austin jam, captured live at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio with producer Steve Chadie.

The Bats - Lucky Day.

This is the fourth Bats video by director Marc Swadel (who has previously worked with Crowded House, Thurston Moore, The Datsuns, Jonathan Bree, Sparks, Liam Finn, Duran Duran, Head Like a Hole and The Chemical Brothers).

LAWN CHAIR - Wyldest - Bird Streets - Emmett Jerome

LAWN CHAIR - War Machine.

German-American indie punk outfit LAWN CHAIR is set to make waves with their highly anticipated debut album, You Want It! You Got It!, slated for release on September 5th, 2025. Today the Berlin-based outfit share new single ‘War Machine’, accompanied by a new live video, the single is a poignant tribute to front woman Claudia Schlutius’ father.  

Over the past three years, the Berlin-based band has carved out a reputation as one of Germany’s most vital and uncompromising new bands. Formed around Seattle-born vocalist and lyricist Claudia Schlutius, the five-piece have brought their exhilarating live energy to festivals like The Great Escape, Reeperbahn and Fusion, toured the UK and Germany, and shared stages with Sleaford Mods, Primal Scream, Getdown Services, Deadletter, and more. With two EPs produced alongside Olaf Opal (The Notwist) and Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), they’ve already made serious noise. But You Want It! You Got It!! marks their most expansive and self-assured work to date.

Written during a time of personal and creative transition (as Schlutius and guitarist Eric Haupt relocated from Cologne to Berlin), You Want It! You Got It!! was crafted between November 2023 and September 2024, with extensive pre-production shaping its unique sound. The album’s title, a lyric drawn from ‘The Next Big Thing’, is a tongue-in-cheek response to the relentless demands of the music industry. Lyrically and sonically, the album draws inspiration from the absurdities of late-stage capitalism, fragile male egos, the never-ending quest for inner peace - and Schlutius’ own complicated relationship with both her family and her U.S. origins.

Their new single ‘War Machine’ is a tribute to her aging father, a Vietnam veteran and commercial fisherman in Alaska, whose fiercely independent spirit left its mark on her. “You’re a War Machine” becomes a line directed both outward and inward, a recognition of inherited restlessness and the fragility of the people we admire.

Wyldest - All It Would Take Is A Phone Call.

Yesterday, Wyldest returned with her poignant new single 'All It Would Take Is A Phone Call'. Out now via Hand In Hive, the track release follows her widely adored 2022 album 'Feed The Flowers Nightmares'. A delicate meditation on familial estrangement ("Now you’re just another memory / Locked away inside my veins / On your way to leave an everlasting stain"), 'All It Would Take Is A Phone Call' channels the quiet ache of a relationship defined more by blood than by real connection. 

The accompanying self-shot video, filmed by Wyldest on the moors of Connemara in Western Ireland, draws a poetic parallel between the song’s theme of lost connection and the birthplace of modern communication. “I came across a big egg-shaped monument called the Marconi and was fascinated by it. It was in the middle of nowhere – standing alone as a tribute to Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of the first wireless telecommunication device. I thought, ironically, that was a great link,” Wyldest says.

Sitting at the intersection of ambient dream-pop and intimate singer-songwriter confessionals, Wyldest’s unmistakably weightless vocal is set against a backdrop of skeletal guitars and airy production textures - recalling the stillness of early Cat Power or the emotional incision of Sharon Van Etten. 

The song’s unhurried pace allows its emotional gravity to settle, drawing the listener into a space of painful reflection and quiet acceptance. Delivered with an almost terrifying emotional precision, Wyldest captures something rarely articulated in song: the quiet, slow ache of becoming strangers with someone you once called family. 


============================================================================

Bird Streets - Mistaker.

Mistaker, the new single from Brooklyn's Bird Streets (John Brodeur) is a gritty minor-key rocker with enough hooks to last the rest of the summer. It has shades of solo Chris Cornell, the Shins, and the Stones, but overall this is very much a Bird Streets jam–lyric-forward, guitar-driven, and melodic to a fault. We think it's going to sound great on the air.

This is the lead track from the third Bird Streets LP, The Escape Artist, due October 17 on the Plastic Dreams label. The Escape Artist was produced by Jason Falkner (Beck, Daniel Johnson, St. Vincent) at his Los Angeles studio. It's a paranoid guitar-pop record, rife with themes of isolation and existential dread. Recorded over four years, beginning in the early days of the global pandemic, The Escape Artist runs the musical gamut from claustrophobic folk to anthemic indie-pop to punk-rock freakout. While largely a two-man affair, the album features guest spots by Gina Romantini (Wallflowers, Jayhawks), Zach Jones (Sting), and Oscar Albis Rodriguez (A Great Big World).

The Bird Streets sound has been described by The Deli as "rock music with mainstream potential that sounds timeless and honest." The 2002 album, Lagoon, featured contributions from folks like Pat Sansone (Wilco), Ed Harcourt, Aimee Mann, John Davis (Superdrag), and Jody Stephens (Big Star), while the self-titled 2018 release became something of a cult power-pop hit on the strength of single "Betting On The Sun." Bird Streets was selected as a Slingshot Artist by NPR Music, and has been featured by Paste, Magnet, Shindig! and many more.

Emmett Jerome - Nothing To Do.

With a weathered voice and a heart tuned to the truth, Emmett Jerome returns with "Nothing To Do," an upbeat, warm country-rock ode to growing up in a tiny foothills town. It's a wistful look back at carefree days, wild nights, and the bittersweet sting of outgrowing the place – and the people – you love.

Written about his own coming-of-age in Bragg Creek, Alberta, "Nothing To Do" pays tribute to sun-soaked river hangs, midnight highway drives, and stolen cases of cheap beer under prairie moons. "Growing up there meant a lot of freedom in the outdoors," says Jerome. "When I turned 18, I left for good and said goodbye to a lot of formative friendships. This song is about the loss of leaving not only that place behind, but the good people of Bragg Creek too."

The track was recorded live off the floor to hi-fi tape, capturing the raw energy of Jerome's band in the room, before layering in baritone guitar, harmonica, and Rhodes to flesh it out. "We wanted to use the same technology our favourite classic records were made with. Real analog gear and real musicians," Jerome says.

Halley Neal - Saycouth - The THIRTEEN 7 - Amanda Shires

Halley Neal - Emily.

“Emily” is a song I wrote for my oldest friend, someone who shaped my childhood in quiet but profound ways. It’s about the kind of bond that leaves a permanent mark on your heart - even when time and distance pull you apart. Writing this song helped me reconnect not just with her, but with the part of myself she helped me believe in. It’s a reminder of how important it is to say the things we often leave unsaid. At its core, Emily is about gratitude, memory, and the power of a friendship that lasts through everything."

“Halley Neal is an award-winning folk singer and songwriter whose music radiates warmth, positivity, and peace. Based in Boston by way of Nashville, Halley blends lyrical, heartfelt songwriting with soaring vocals and vibrant, bluegrass-inspired instrumentation. Often performing alongside her trio of upright bass and fiddle, her live shows are intimate, uplifting experiences that highlight her honest lyrics and effortlessly expressive voice.

A rising presence in the Americana and folk scenes, Halley has toured nationally, performing in listening rooms and folk venues across the country. She has graced the stages of major festivals including the Kerrville Folk Festival, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. Among her career highlights, Halley has opened for and shared the stage in a duet performance with Grammy-winning artist Sara Bareilles - an experience that reflects both her talent and growing recognition in the contemporary folk world.

Following the success of her critically acclaimed 2022 album Beautiful and Blue, Halley is set to release her next full-length record, Letter for a Friend, in fall 2025. Written as a collection of personal letters to the people who have shaped, influenced, and inspired her, the album was recorded in Nashville and reflects her most intimate and narrative-driven work to date.”

Nashville-based indie/soul/pop group Saycouth have been active since early 2024. They have been releasing singles, an EP, lyric videos, and have played a couple well-received live shows at Virgin Hotels Nashville with an upcoming show confirmed at Analog at the Hutton Hotel in Nashville on Wed, July 30.
 
Saycouth features Mikayla Debasio on vocals, Nick Bilski on guitar, Frankie Hill on keys and sax, Jarred Harris on bass, and Herschal Van Dyke on drums.

The THIRTEEN 7 - Carry The Burden.

Let The THIRTEEN 7 introduce you to ‘Gothic Soul”: a fusion of soul, jazz, folk & blues: blending haunting lyricism with rich soundscapes. The complexities of human emotion; grief & loss; mental health & self worth; plus the occasional ghost story, are addressed in their collection of eclectic, emotive songs. Yet their ability to balance darkness with beauty, sorrow with hope, is what makes their sound feel both timeless and fresh.

The THIRTEEN 7 are a UK based recording project. The rhythm section its core: Roger Batting on drums and percussion, and songwriter KLVN (Kelvin) plays bass. Guest vocalists and musicians help bring the songs to life.

Carry the Burden is second release, yet the first song we produced as The THIRTEEN 7. It’s a cover, written by singer / songwriter Trudy Hide, from her eponymous mid 90’s album. Roger asked for a backing track of the song so his niece could experience singing in a recording studio. Instrumentally the track became quite removed from the original: dark & minimal. It set a tone and ambience which in-turn inspired the songwriting for the rest of the album “Nobody’s Listening” (expected 2026).

After the positive reception the first single “The Shadow and the Light” received, we decided to continue the project: so this song, almost complete, we looked to finish next. Despite being a superb vocalist, Emma didn’t quite connect with the song, so we asked Lia whether she’d like to sing it. Once again she delivers a beautiful performance. The song also features a fabulous violin solo by Tony Quinta, Solid rhythm and percussion by Roger Batting and instrumentation by KLVN. The track really demonstrates the “Gothic Soul” sound in which the band inhabits. Dark, reflective, & atmospheric. Late night listening recommended.

Amanda Shires - A Way It Goes.

Amanda Shires will release her new album 'Nobody’s Girl' on 26th September via ATO Records. The GRAMMY Award-winning singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist returns with her most powerful body of work yet and the follow-up to her widely acclaimed 2022 album 'Take It Like A Man'. Along with the album announcement, Amanda has shared 'A Way It Goes' the first single from the forthcoming record. The video for 'A Way It Goes' was directed by Taylor G. Kelly (Kelsea Ballerini, Brittney Spencer, Fitz & The Tantrums) and shot on location outside Nashville.
 
Produced by Lawrence Rothman and co-written by Amanda and Rothman, 'A Way It Goes' opens the album, taking the listener on an intimately revealing and musically rewarding journey. The track’s understated, soaring arrangement showcases Amanda’s delicate vocals and vulnerable lyrics. Amanda sings, “Spent a year looking inward and healing, made some new friends, don’t ask about the deep end. Even I couldn’t believe it when I felt my heart sprouting feathers and I caught myself dreaming again.”
 
Amanda has never been afraid to blur genre lines, but 'Nobody’s Girl' is not about sonic boundaries, it’s about emotional ones. Produced by Lawrence Rothman, the new album explores themes of heartbreak and loss, resilience, self-discovery and empowerment.  As Amanda explains, “'Nobody's Girl' is what came after the wreckage, the silence, the rebuilding. It’s about standing in the aftermath of a life you thought would last forever and realising no one is coming to save you.” 
 
The 12-track record features Amanda’s moving vocals and signature fiddle playing set to meticulously crafted songs ranging from achingly raw ballads to rock-infused anthems. It was recorded at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, TN, with Fred Eltringham and Julian Dorio on drums, Dominic Davis on bass, Peter Levin on keys, Zach Setchfield on guitar, and Rothman on guitar as well. Amanda also tracked at Rothman Recorders in Los Angeles, CA, with Jay Bellerose (drums), Pino Palladino (bass), Jimbo Hart (bass), Joe Kennedy (piano, guitar), and Rothman again on guitar. In addition to the fiddle, Amanda can also be heard playing tenor guitar and ukulele.

RALLO - Clover County - Anna of the North - goodheart

RALLO - Eggshells & Rollercoasters.

Fresh off a wave of artistic momentum, indie rock singer-songwriter RALLO is set to release her latest single, “Eggshells & Rollercoasters,” today July 14. The new track, a delicate yet powerful meditation on the fragility of love and the highs and lows of human connection, will be accompanied by a cinematic music video exploring the song’s themes of intimacy, tension, and resilience.

Fans will also have the opportunity to experience RALLO’s magnetic live energy at two upcoming shows in the Hudson Valley. On July 17, she will perform at Rock da Casbah in Saugerties from 7:00 to 9:00 PM, and on July 23, she will take the stage at Pearl Moon in Woodstock from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Seating is limited for both events, so early reservations are encouraged by calling 845-247-3929 for Rock da Casbah and 845-684-5537 for Pearl Moon.

"Eggshells & Rollercoasters” finds RALLO at her most evocative yet, layering poetic lyrics over lush, dynamic production that echoes with a sense of vulnerability. Hypnotic melodies carry the listener through a landscape of emotional contradictions: fragility and strength, joy and doubt, chaos and calm. “I wanted to do something enchanting and honest, yet humorous, with the many rollercoasters & eggshells life seems to be paved with,” says RALLO. “This song just kinda rolled out very organically from that initial spark.”

Clover County - Virginia Slim.

Emerging Georgia-based singer/songwriter Clover County announces that her debut LP Finer Things will release on September 26 via her own label Undercover Lover Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers. Produced by Carrie K (Noah Kahan, Maggie Antone, Koe Wetzel), the album is a coming-of-age soundtrack that explores romantic, familial and platonic love with a winking charm and an observing eye. To accompany the announcement, Clover released the project’s bittersweet first single “Virginia Slim.” Unfolding like the green rolling hills of Georgia’s Blood Mountain where she was inspired to write the song, “Virginia Slim” uses a fuzzy guitar, a painfully beautiful fiddle and the flick of a Zippo lighter to tell the quintessential ‘right person, wrong time’ story. 

Next month, Clover will hit the road with rising country star Sam Barber for a run which includes dates in Toronto, Raleigh and more. She will also play FloydFest later this month and Austin City Limits in October.

“‘Virginia Slim’ is about falling for the idea of someone more than the actual person,” Clover shares. “After months on the road and too many blurred connections, I was burnt out. This song became a way to be honest with myself: about craving comfort, about romanticizing what’s in front of me and about choosing to protect a friendship instead of rushing into something I wasn’t ready for. Brad Cook helped me write the last few lines, including the most important of the whole song – ‘It’s been a long time since I’ve known love that wasn’t war.’ My two favorite instruments on this song are the Zippo lighter and the fiddle.” 

============================================================================

Anna of the North - Give Me Your Love Back.

Norwegian alt-pop start Anna of the North today makes her stunning return with "Give Me Your Love Back", out now via Play It Again Sam, her first new single since 2022's Crazy Life. She also announces a Winter 2025 U.S. tour, with dates in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more.

"Give Me Your Love Back" is classic Anna— dreamy, emotional, and irresistibly melodic. Her ethereal vocals and bittersweet lyrics are on show. With this new release, Anna bridges the past and future — offering long-time fans a return to her classic sound. The single arrives as Anna’s 2017 hit “Lovers” has been going viral and surpassing 225 million streams on Spotify.

The new single marks the beginning of a new chapter, with more music to come.

============================================================================

goodheart - Silverspoon Sunday.

Toronto-based indie-pop artist goodheart captures the quiet ache of emotional in-betweens on her debut EP Blue and Other Colours – a self-produced five-track project that explores disconnection, heartbreak, longing, and self-reckoning through shimmering melodies and honest storytelling. With elements of indie-pop, folk, and alt-rock woven through its sound, the EP invites listeners to sit with sadness – not to wallow in it, but to understand it.

From the friction of fading friendships to the numbness of everyday apathy, Blue and Other Colours traces deeply personal experiences with a diaristic sensibility and cinematic edge. Whether it's the drifting isolation of "Casey," the quiet resentment of "Funeral," or the dreamlike malaise of "Stuck in a Cloud," goodheart doesn't shy away from emotional complexity. Instead, she leans in to build lush, dynamic soundscapes that feel both intimate and expansive.

The focus track, "Silverspoon Sunday," is one of the EP's most biting and buoyant moments. With crisp drums, layered guitar work, and bright vocal delivery, it offers a sugar-coated critique of privilege and passivity. "It’s about comfort becoming a kind of cage," says goodheart. "Some people are handed every opportunity and still feel stuck. They coast instead of confronting the real stuff."

Despite its polished surface, the structure of "Silverspoon Sunday" subtly shifts throughout, avoiding traditional pop repetition and instead offering a dynamic chord progression that mirrors the unease beneath its brightness. "I love songs that sneak heavier truths into something that feels fun. This one is a bitter pill with a sugar coating."
