Hallelujah The Hills - It’s Undeniable.
Beloved Boston indie rock alchemists Hallelujah The Hills unveil their latest single, “It’s Undeniable,” a hypnotic and genre-defying track that marks the first release from Spades, one of four full-length albums in their upcoming 52-song project, Deck, available across music platforms on June 13th, 2025.
Described by the band as a Rube Goldberg device of a song, “It’s Undeniable” is loaded with chant-like vocals, mysterious lyrical codes, and scattered samples that feel like transmissions from an unknown station. Its hooks grab hold and don’t let go, making it a fitting introduction to the ambitious Deck project, which features one song for every card in a standard deck, plus two jokers.
“This song features the world’s first ‘Live Podcast Song Overdub,’” says frontman Ryan H. Walsh, referring to a spontaneous collaboration recorded live on the long-running Who Charted? podcast with hosts Howard Kremer and Brett Morris. Their voices now echo throughout the track in an unprecedented and surreal sonic moment. “Guinness Book of World Records, get at us,” Walsh jokes.
Adding another layer of richness to the song, Niani Campbell of Boston band Children of the Flaming Wheel joins the band for their signature gang vocals on the chorus. Her husband and Hills bassist Joseph Marrett reflects on the track: “Undeniably the world is a wild place; rubbery bandages, lying wires, and sidewalk schisms await to trip up our best intentions! Let’s engage the truths and find a path forward, shine a light if possible! It’s Undeniable!”

The Slim Kings - Keep On.
Brooklyn-based retro soul-rock outfit The Slim Kings return with a smoldering new track, "Keep On," that explores the quiet strength of patience. In a world addicted to speed and certainty, the band flips the script by choosing to sit still, to wait, and to trust.
It's a song about giving someone the space they need without letting go of your presence. A slow burn with vintage soul textures, "Keep On" is rich in restraint, resolve, and realness. From its laid-back groove to its timeless sentiment, "Keep On" is equal parts support system and soul serenade. It's about knowing when to step back and when to show up. Sometimes the best thing you can do is let the answer come on its own. – The Slim Kings
Recorded in their New York studio, the track was built slowly, with purpose – fighting the urge to rush, even as the world moves faster than ever. It’s a fitting metaphor for the group itself: Liberty DeVitto (Billy Joel's legendary drummer), MSB (a sync veteran with over 40 placements), and Andy Attanasio (R&B bassist known for his work with Black Thought) know the power of patience, presence, and playing only what's needed. "Keep On" is a taste of their upcoming 14-track album, Superlove, out September 26th, 2025 – a record that promises to deliver vintage grit with modern soul.

Izabella Lily - Freedom.
Swedish-Finnish artist Izabella Lily returns with her third single Freedom, a modern folk rock anthem filled with lyrical depth and spiritual introspection. Recorded with professional studio musicians Miikka Laitinen, flying guitar and tight bass, Petter Lithvall drums and synth, and Sam Seatone acoustic guitar, “Freedom” was produced by Petter Lithvall. Following Izabella’s debut “Varandra”, 2nd single “Fields of Green” and a recent live appearance on Sveriges Radio P4 Gothenburg, Izabella continues to build momentum with this evocative new release.
Izabella delivers a raw folk indie single with poetic lyrics and spiritual depth, with a heart beating for social justice. "Freedom" follows her Sveriges Radio debut and previews her 2025 EP. Rich acoustic textures meet modern indie production in this moving anthem about the kind of love that is selfless and sacrificial - that which empowers us to use our freedom for the good of others.

Harri Larkin - Slowburn (EP).
Sheffield-based singer-songwriter Harri Larkin is proud to announce the release of their brand new EP, Slowburn, officially out now via Golden Robot Records.
Blending elements of indie, funk, jazz, and grunge, Slowburn is a genre-defying collection that captures the emotional intensity and evolving artistry of Harri Larkin. Known for her heartfelt lyricism, soaring vocal melodies, and an undeniably infectious sound, Harri delivers an EP that is both introspective and anthemic - burning slowly but leaving a lasting mark.
The new EP follows the powerful single 'Too Close to the Sun', a song written in tribute to a close friend lost to an accidental overdose. The single set the emotional tone for Slowburn, an honest and cathartic body of work that explores grief, healing, and the quiet power of vulnerability.
Harri Larkin first made waves with debut album 'Beach City' that caught the attention of BBC Introducing, who broadcast it in full. In 2023, Harri was named the winner of the national Tramlines “Apply to Play” competition, landing performances at major UK festivals and earning national radio play along the way. Harri continues to push creative boundaries with Slowburn - a record that embraces nuance, celebrates growth, and invites listeners into a deeply personal world.
