Kindsight are back with the new single and video “The Head (This Body Deserves)”, the first taste of the band’s third album, set for release in autumn 2026 via Rama Lama Records. Over the last few years, Kindsight have built a growing international following through tours across Europe and festival appearances including Roskilde and SXSW. Their latest album No Shame No Fame received strong reviews and support from KEXP, who described the band as “a band that balances noise and melody with confidence, sounding both familiar and forward-looking.”
Inspired by 90s indie rock, alternative guitar pop, shoegaze and krautrock, Kindsight move between noisy guitar layers and catchy melodic songwriting with an energy that feels both loose and precise at the same time.
“The Head (This Body Deserves)” takes the band’s long and chaotic live show closer and turns it into a compact three minute single. The song deals with mathematics and “the head that pilots the body,” while also telling the story of a prophetic dream where Marlon Brando is reborn as the last son of Ursula von der Leyen and is given one final mission by his dying mother: before turning 18, he must convince every person in the world to give up their dreams, by any means necessary.

Aderyn - Cross Your Mind.
Aderyn returns with her infectious new single 'Cross Your Mind' which is released today May 20th, the first offering taken from newly announced EP 'Hot Pink!' which is released in June 2026.
Aderyn added this about 'Cross Your Mind' "Sometimes you just know in your gut that someone still thinks about you, whether they like it or not. My favourite lyric in the song is ‘strutting in my thigh high glitter boots’, because that line is so me. I’m always strutting around stage in my diamante boots, so it felt like a little wink to everyone who’s seen me live."
"Aderyn gives me this confidence I don't always have in real life - and writing this song, I really let her take over. I wanted the listener to picture Aderyn just stomping through someone's mind, completely unbothered. That image made me laugh when I wrote it." 'Hot Pink!' is Aderyn's sophomore EP. Detailing the chaotic ups and downs of a break-up, the EP careens through genres and emotional states. Please, the opener, is a moody grunge infused track that sounds like modern day Mazzy Star, and explores one sided devotion through religious comparisons.

Western Australia trio Fool Nelson continue their debut tour of the UK this week in support of the deluxe edition of their 'Bad Dreams' EP (out today via AWAL) with a show in Newquay this Friday (22 May) and Dot To Dot Festival in Bristol and Nottingham this weekend (23/24 May).
Leading on from two national sold-out tours of their own in Australia, plus multiple BBC Radio 1 spins on Sian Eleri's Future Artists, Alyx Holcombe's Indie Show, and Craig Charles' BBC 6 Music show, the bands EP focal point their new single 'Keepsake' opens with lead singer Tom Broadbent’s signature tender croon over a bed of rustic guitar chords, evoking an intensely personal stream of consciousness.
Balancing unpolished grit with heartfelt lyricism and a huge melodic instinct, 'Keepsake' feels as appropriate for solitary headphone listening as it does for a sweat-soaked mosh pit.
Speaking on the release of the EP, the band said:"Overall, the EP is about sticking close to the people you love. Often we've found ourselves pushing away those relationships when things are difficult or uncertain, but we're learning to put those things first amidst anxiety, ambition, and uncertainty. For us, the EP definitely serves as a bit of an outlet for our anxieties, but hopefully also serves as a reminder of what's important."

Today, up-and-coming pop artist Mollie Elizabeth shares “Run Rabbit” a snippet of which has already gone viral on TikTok. The song “Run Rabbit” is written by Mollie Elizabeth and Josh Murty, produced by Josh Murty, and coming out via Neon Gold Records / Futures Music.
About “Run Rabbit”, Mollie Elizabeth says: "Run Rabbit, while a very whimsical song, is actually a darker look into what it was like growing up in an unhealthy household. There’s an indescribable feeling that comes along with the baggage of an imperfect childhood, one that begs the question, if you are excused for your immoral coping mechanisms because of your circumstance, or if it is your fault regardless."
Earlier this year, Mollie Elizabeth returned with “The Mirror”, “Dog Eat Dog” that deepens her distinctive sonic and visual universe, weaving eerie, quirky, and subtly dark textures into her signature femme, classic sound. Mollie Elizabeth adds, “Dog Eat Dog” is centered around the concept that all humans are, unfortunately, natural born predators. In my nature, and I think in many others, all I really want to do is cultivate peace and love, but in reality, this world is not peaceful. There are people who will take advantage of you if you do not accept that whether you like it or not, we live in a dog eat dog world.”

Shadowman, the new collaborative project from John J Presley, Ben Hillier and Danielle Perry, have announced the release of their self-titled debut album, arriving on 4th September via Nica Records/Republic of Music. Born from a shared creative vision and a desire to make music freely and instinctively, the trio weaves together a rich sonic tapestry, blending crushing guitars with cinematic orchestration, death-march brass with motorik drum machines, layered vocal exchanges and slow-burning post-rock intensity.
Following the release of their debut single 'Flowers', which was championed by Iggy Pop and Steve Lamaq on BBC 6Music, today they share 'Don't Assume', the latest preview of their forthcoming album. The new single is accompanied by a video directed by The Thrill Of Losing/Laura-Mary Carter.
About the song, Danielle explains: "I've played a Fender Rhodes alongside John J Presley for a while now, and the riff we got for this tune was the one I'd been waiting for. There's something the bass of a Rhodes provides that just can't be replicated, really. Lord knows I've tried, but every time I went back to my 54-key heavy HEAVY beautiful Rhodes. The tone is so malleable, and it cuts through so well in its own silky way. We always imagined punchy late-night Chicago horns on this in the middle 8, and Pete Wareham just got it right away. There's a glint in the eye with the lyrics on this one... and sadly, since we wrote it, some of the lyrics have become very of this moment on the world stage. Suffice to say... we find war abhorrent and wish for a peaceful, respectful world".
