Citizens of Yeah!!!’s new single, “3 Little Piggies,” offers an unexpected mix of angular guitars and sharp commentary on the rising cost of living in the UK. Led by Newcastle-based multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Womack, the track paints a stark, albeit playful, picture of a world where wolves loom large—both metaphorically and literally.
24 Aug: “I’m Here, I’ll Wait” – First Umpire: A Dual-Sided Exploration of Emotion and Self-Discovery
First Umpire, the latest project from Lebanese-American producer and multi-instrumentalist Pat Cheiban, makes a captivating debut with the double-sided single “I’m Here, I’ll Wait.” Comprising two tracks, “I’m Here” and “I’ll Wait,” this release offers a compelling introduction to Cheiban’s introspective and nuanced musical world. Drawing on his experiences navigating the contrasting landscapes of college life and the demanding music industry, Cheiban encapsulates the emotional turbulence and personal growth he has undergone, resulting in a sound that is both immersive and evocative.
Influenced by classic alternative rock acts like the Pixies and contemporary bands like the Beths, Goddamn Wolves infuse their sound with a raw, garage punk energy. “Seven Days a Week” showcases this perfectly, combining fiery vocals with hard-hitting riffs and a rhythmic feel that almost evokes a sense of slow motion.
Understated indie icon Briston Maroney has just released a new single titled “Skydiver”. The track explores Maroney’s anxiety and fears about uncertainty through thoughtful lyrics and unique vocals. Tying all of his arduous thoughts and questions into a metaphor about hurtling towards the ground at full speed, Maroney has created yet another song that makes his listeners feel seen.
“The StoneHengers,” the seventh single from The Margaret Hooligans’ forthcoming album ThunderHole Rock n’ Roll, exemplifies the band’s talent for creating music that is both immediately accessible and richly layered. At first listen, the track comes across as an upbeat 90s rock song with driving electric ukulele riffs (yes, that’s a ukulele) and dynamic drumming. However, true to the band’s style, it quickly becomes apparent that there is more beneath the surface.
Beabadoobee can’t help but “Take a Bite” in her newest single – a track about giving in again, and again… even though you know it’s bad for you. Bea takes some accountability, admitting that she’s living in fantasyland but is finding it too comfortable to leave. It’s hard to take off the rose-tinted glasses, and even more difficult when you love how they look.
