The Afro Nick has always been a bit of an outsider. From his early days busking on the streets of Crete to forming one of the island’s first indie rock bands, he’s consistently found himself just outside the norm, using music as both an escape and an assertion of identity. His latest single, “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix),” is another chapter in that story—a raw, somewhat unpolished indie rock anthem about seizing the day, shaped by his unique background and perspective.

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.
