08 Nov: Alice Phoebe Lou’s “Better”: A Nostalgic Yet Fresh Look at Love

Alice Phoebe Lou’s latest single, “Better,” released on November 8, 2024, is a testament to her evolving artistry and ability to craft intimate, reflective music. With its rich, analog-inspired production and thoughtful lyrics, “Better” feels like a modern-day ode to the smooth textures of 1970s vinyl, yet it remains entirely in step with the current indie music landscape.

08 Nov: “Dog and Pony (The Anarchy)” Stoney Forde Review

There’s nothing else out there like “Dog and Pony (The Anarchy)”—and that’s precisely why you should listen. Stoney Forde’s latest single isn’t polished. It doesn’t shimmer. Instead, it staggers into your ears like a half-drunk raconteur at a dive bar, spinning tales that feel both absurd and profound. If music exists to challenge, to provoke, and to offer something utterly new, then Stoney has succeeded on all fronts.

04 Nov: “The Reason” – Batu Akdeniz Review

Batu Akdeniz’s latest single, The Reason, is the sound of resilience, a high-octane anthem crafted for the stage, where it can thunder through a crowd. Akdeniz, already a rock sensation in Turkey, has pushed his sound even further with the help of iconic drummer Simon Kirke, the force behind bands like Free and Bad Company. With Kirke’s drumming powering the track, Akdeniz brings a gritty edge that amplifies his signature blend of rock and lyrical intensity, creating something that feels both urgent and deeply personal.

04 Nov: “Stop living with closed eyes” – Skycall Review

SkyCall’s Stop Living With Closed Eyes takes a firm stand, bringing old-school rock riffs roaring back into the conversation about today’s world. After SkyCall’s split in 2023, Fabrice Duval, who’s equally at home diagnosing minds as he is dissecting classic rock, took on the task of finalizing the band’s LP entirely on his own. The result is a track that sounds like it time-traveled from a 1970s garage jam but with the clarity and polish of a modern studio.

31 Oct: “Red Head” – Stone Deaf: A Raw, Relentless Anthem for the Rock Revivalist

Stone Deaf’s “Red Head” packs a punch from the first chord, channeling the rawness and relentless energy of a band that’s barely a year old but already sounds seasoned. From BBC radio’s “rollicking” praise to sold-out shows in their hometown of Swansea, Stone Deaf’s trajectory has been steep, and it’s easy to see why. “Red Head” isn’t merely a song; it’s a rallying cry for those who’ve endured the toxic push and pull of manipulation, wrapped in a thick coat of distortion, thumping bass, and unapologetic power.
