Today sees Irish outfit Search Results share their brand new single Wrinkle, coinciding with a string of UK tour dates this May, including The Great Escape Festival. Clocking in at just shy of 2 minutes, its snappy approach and angsty drive showcases just what’s achievable in such a short space of time as the pair throw out their gritty guitars and brash percussion with maximum effect. On the accompanying video, director Daniel Martin says "I've long wanted to recreate Office Stock photos. I knew I'd achieve it one day but I was deathly afraid some huge pop star would do it first. The point of stock photos is to fit all office-based scenarios across the globe and unlike the imagery in the entertainment business, they expressly exist to not draw attention to itself. There is great dignity in this for a band and even more so for Search Results. My only regret is that the video cost €9.5K to make". Take a watch/listen for yourselves below.

Following on from last month's Gloom Designs single, New York minimalist folk quartet Florist have returned with their latest cut, Moon Sea, Devil, taken from the forthcoming new album Jellywish, out April 4th on Double Double Whammy. Serving up another heartfelt delivery through painstaking vocals and acoustic melodies comes a further taster of what's to come as it slowly builds towards its soft cathartic finale. "‘Moon, Sea, Devil’ is about our multidimensional consciousness inside of earth bodies. In the years since our self-titled record, I started thinking more and more about who we (humans) are as a collective entity, influencing each other and the world around us with many small actions, emotions, and reactions,” Emily Sprague explains. "This song believes in the unseen worlds beside ours and suggests using that perspective to reach through the veils, creating a powerful tool for channeling greater empathy, love, and connection with others here in our humbling reality. To tap into our power as a species, create change for actual good, and make life better and more equal for all people, we must dare to take care of each other and oppose all that does not care for life on earth."

Welsh singer-songwriter Brook Fox has returned with his brand new single entitled 'When You Fall', released ahead of the weekend. Filled with towering pop sensibilities, the track's infectious hooks and catchy melodies showcase the Burry Port, Carmarthenshire based artist's talents for crafting insatiable story telling anthems in blistering detail. Recorded at Sonic One Studios, West Wales and expertly mixed and mastered by Tim Hamill (George Michael), take a listen for yourselves below.
Newcastle's alt-rock trio The Pale White have returned this week with their blistering new single Nostradamus. Following on from last month's ‘Lost in The Moment’, the band unveil their latest guitar swinging anthem that's packed with chugging basslines, ferocious percussion and catchy guitar melodies. Speaking on the track, frontman Adam Hope says, “We all know that person who thinks they know everything, but this song is a gentle reminder that they don’t...unlike Nostradamus who famously made some bold predictions that came true hundreds of years later. It started as an electronic loop with a mellotron and processed beats, before being forgotten about. A few years later, it was rediscovered and simply had to be brought to life with the band”. Nostradamus is taken from their upcoming second album “The Big Sad”, due for release on 18th April 2025 via the North-East’s own End of the Wall Recordings, pre-order / save here. Take a listen below.

Following its premier this evening on Huw Stephens' BBC 6 Music show, Cardiff's Panic Shack return with their first new material in over two years with their ferocious new single 'Gok Wan', out now on Brace Yourself Records. Wasting no time with its commanding vocal lead, the track quickly breaks in to a thrashing all-out powerhouse with thunderous basslines, high octane percussion and infectious guitar melodies. Speaking of the track's inception, the band explain:"Growing up in the '00s we were bombarded with constant images of super skinny models and ‘IT girls’ as well as TV shows all about ‘looking good’ and ‘being thin’. We wanted to write a song that embodied the ludicrous nature of what we were consuming as literal children and how it affected us then and to this day."We dug deep into our shared memories of that time, bought some trashy magazines at the corner shop and watched some old shows on YouTube, ‘Trinny and Susannah’ and ‘Ten Years Younger’ being a couple… but honestly there are SO MANY to choose from. It was shocking to watch them back. The stark difference to what’s acceptable now, discussing women’s bodies with such negativity felt satirical, albeit a plus knowing things have come along a fair bit since then. We took headlines from the magazines and worked a few into the lyrics, ‘fat or pregnant’ being one, yes that’s a genuine magazine headline."The title 'Gok Wan' comes from the show he presented How To Look Good Naked which in all honestly was one of the better shows, in terms of negativity but still obviously had the main focus on women’s bodies. No hate to Gok (Trinny and Susannah didn’t have the same ring to it for a title), it was the time we lived in and through but it was still shit, it still shaped our little teenager minds into this grown up hellscape of constantly focusing on how we look rather than what we do."

London-based singer-songwriter Emma Bradley recently returned with her blistering new single, ‘serotonin skies’, a track that explores the stark differences between falling in to and out of love, and the emotions it can invoke. Through its striking guitar melodies and softly built percussion, the track's icy touch showcases the dexterity in her songwriting in brilliant detail. Emma says that “the ‘serotonin sky’ is a metaphor for the inside of your head and how sometimes there are more ‘stars in the sky’ / happy feelings than other times.” Sharing more detail she goes on to say, “When I was writing this song I thought a lot about queerness and how it is so isolating to be in the closet but how it is also very isolating if you have an experience that makes you realise your queerness and then have it come to an end abruptly. It’s like seeing through the door and then somebody closing it again.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
Ahead of the weekend saw Sports Team return with their brilliant coming of age single, Maybe When We’re 30. Accompanied by a video directed by the band themselves, the track slowly ticks on across a swirling synth line and building melody before reaching its climatic guitar driven crescendo. Lyricist Rob Knaggs elaborates further on the song's meaning, “It’s a song for Brooklyn Beckham. When you start off in a band you feel like Slurms Mackenzie (the Futurama party slug). You can’t believe it’s your job to travel around the world and drink beer and make music with your friends. And then one morning you look around, and all your friends are getting married, and you think, maybe all I really want is to grow old, and get a dog, and write horrible things about Brooklyn Beckham on Facebook, and go on cruises, and have petty disputes with my neighbours about whether the council recycles cardboard.” Take a listen/watch below.
‘Boys
These Days’, the forthcoming album is available to pre-order on CD, vinyl and cassette as well
as a number of exclusive limited edition formats including a box set, a
signed test pressing and picture disc vinyl.
Sports Team are Alex Rice (vocals), Robert Knaggs (lyrics, backing vocals, rhythm guitar), Henry Young (lead guitar, lap steel), Oli Dewdney (bass), Al Greenwood (drums) and Ben Mack (synths, piano & percussion).
Mersey-based four-piece Keyside returned ahead of the weekend with their euphoric new single, Michael (What's Your Call?). Filled with heartfelt lyricism and its soaring energy the track offers up another exciting look to what lays ahead as they showcase their emotive prowess. Reflecting on the single, frontman Dan Parker explains: “We’re inside Michael’s head for the verse. But the chorus plays out as a phone call to Michael, from a worried friend. We all know a Michael. Someone whose friends notice they’re not themself. Someone who disappears. Someone who can’t get home. This song is a reminder that reaching out to a friend when they’re struggling can save a life.” Take a listen for yourselves below. Michael (What's Your Call?) is taken from the band's second EP which is available now.

Following recent single Let Me Go (feat. Madison Cunningham), Deep Sea Diver has returned with the blistering new effort, What Do I Know, ahead of the band’s triumphant new album, out this Friday (February 28th, 2025) worldwide on Sub Pop.Dobson says of the song and video, “‘What Do I Know’ holds a special place on the record. It is the first song that I engineered all of the instruments myself at my home studio. At the time, I thought I was recording a demo and most of the parts are first takes. We kept all of the imperfections, and nothing was overthought. For the music video, we wanted to lean into that same spirit and gave ourselves only a few hours to film in a very small space. The song is equally existential as it is tongue in cheek, and we wanted the video to reflect more of the raw elements of who we are as a band.” Take a listen/watch for yourselves below.
