Following hot on the heels of previous single's ‘Kick Stones (The Boys)’ and ‘Pin Up Boys’, Manchester's Westside Cowboy return with the excellent Dobro - the final taster of their upcoming debut albumIt Goes On, set to land August 21st through Island Records. Making its debut with Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music, the track pairs Jimmy Bradbury’s commanding lead vocal with the signature harmonies of Aoife Anson O’Connell, unfolding through crisp, skittering percussion and fuzz-laden
guitars. Speaking about the single, Westside Cowboy shared: "This is
our strut song, over 2 minutes in length but just under 3. A song for
perhaps a younger self? For that moment of waiting and isolation in the
hopes of a return. Or it could just be a song about a weird guitar. Who
knows!" Take a listen for yourselves below.

Following its Hottest Record first play on Radio 1 last night, Nothing But Thieves return with their third single Baby Kool (Evelyn), taken from the upcoming album ‘Stray Dogs’ released on 25th September via RCA/Sony Music. Offering more details about the single the band share, “This one felt like we wandered back into Dom's garage, where the band started. It's got one foot in glam and the other in grunge. Those two worlds’ probably shouldn't get along, which is maybe why they did. We often find that's where the interesting stuff is.” Accompanied by an intriguing (and possibly haunting) video by Maxim Kelly (Hot Chip, Shame), the track's streaming below.

Asher White has today shared the brilliant new single Stage Diva, taken from the forthcoming new album Love Aggregates, out Aug 28th on Joyful Noise. Fuelled by fuzz-drenched guitars and effortless slacker melodies, the track serves up another irresistible glimpse of what’s still to come. Speaking about the single, Asher White shares, “A tongue-in-cheek speculative fantasy of fame and fortune wherein I admit to feeling a little uncertain about the ‘Point’ of developing a pop music enterprise; whether it reflects or belies a true love of the Scene and the Community; what the threshold of public perception is and how it may only be masturbatory ego meglomania. Like if you’re pulling up the DIY show and leaving before it’s over, for example. ‘I used to watch you shave…’ is about how I once communed with myself while shaving as a meditative workshop in gender dysphoria and vulnerability but as of last year I now only do it in the shower, blindly, where I don’t have to see myself. Musically I was thinking: ‘I would like to be in Alvvays.’” Take a listen below.

Returning with news of her highly anticipated second album I think I spoke too soon, out 16th October 2026 via Parlophone/Atlas Artists, Rachel Chinouriri has shared her glimmering new single One song away from crying. Leading with a pulsing synth beat and driving vocals, the track offers a compelling glimpse into what’s to come. “‘One song away from crying’ is about the precipice of a night out where you know you need to leave and have to make a decision. It’s a deeper decision because it’s less about the night itself but more about a reflection of a deeper internal conflict with your self value that you haven’t looked at yet”, Rachel shares. Take a listen below.

Taken from the band's second album Cancel Me (I’m Tired), due October 2nd, the track leads with hyperbolic synths and pulsating electronics as its 90's rave sound takes hold.

Following on from last month's single Lunch Money, Naarm/Melbourne new wave/post-punk outfitRadio Free Alice have today shared their scintillating new effort Kick in the Shins. "‘Kick in the Shins’ is a fusion of two songs that never felt all the way complete," Learmonth says of the new track. "We loved the verse of one of them and the chorus of the other, and it worked when we combined the two. At its core, it explores the feeling of being confused by the culture around you, and the isolation that often comes with that confusion." Take a listen below.

Taken from the forthcoming EP You Like Ugly, Don’t You Babe, out 9th September via Giant Music, Davie pairs towering pop sensibilities with soaring vocal prowess as we get another blistering taste of what's to come. Speaking on the track, Blair Davie says “I thought I had finished the writing of the EP and then realised that I was missing one important song: the one that says thank you to the person that saved my life. I believe we all have someone out there; a friend, family, your partner: who can see you at your lowest and still love you. This song is dedicated to them.” Take a listen below.

Following on from last month's single 'The Table', Bristol’s Grandmas House have today shared the latest single from
their long-awaited debut album 'Baby You’re A Winner', ahead of its release
on August 21st release via Brace Yourself Records. Twisted and brooding, the track's switching tempos and meandering textures serve up another exciting taste of what's to come. “Writing ‘Blue Oblivion’ was a pivotal moment for us as a band,” they explain, “as it made us realise that we didn’t have to write music within any boundaries. It opened up the way we would go on to write the rest of the album, encapsulating feelings of love and loss with a balance of light and dark.” Take a listen below.
Alongside the news of ‘Blue Oblivion’ comes word of a tour of UK record stores in support of the album. Full dates below. For those in Bristol looking to hear the album, the band have also announced a free entry listening party for July 31st at Bristol Beer Factory including limited edition Grandmas House beer cans, Grandmas House x Pizzarova specials, ‘Spin the Wheel’ prizes and the chance to meet the band’s mascot, The Headless Man, in person.

Eventually everything has its crux, as Flora from Kansas knows all too well on new single The End - a searing portrait of love at its most destructive. “I thought it would be cool to sing about a certain relationship dynamic that I'm sure some people can relate to,” Flora explains. Approaching the recording with the emotional intensity of a teen drama, Flora wanted the track to hit just as hard as her previous release.According to Flora, “I wanted it to sound like a plot I would see in a teen drama.” Take a listen for yourselves below. The End follows on from the recent success of 2025's ‘The Ghost is Me,’ which featured in Amazon Prime hit show Off Campus.
