Twenty years after Making Dens, Blaine Harrison and his band Mystery Jets have dropped off “Flea Joint”, one half of a double single released alongside “Anaglypta” and a preview of their new record “A Hole To See The Sky Through”. It arrives with a new rhythm section, twins Ollie and Eddie Taylor stepping in on […]
Queens of the Stone Age didn’t need to remind anyone they exist. Three years removed from “In Times New Roman…“, Josh Homme and company return with “Easy Street,” a standalone single that trades the band’s usual desert grit for something looser and kind of stranger. It landed officially on July 14, 2026 on Matador Records,
Jack White closes his new album “Frozen Charlotte” the way many would have opened one, with the song that actually needs room to breathe. “Neighbors Blues” sits at the very end of the record, and after twelve tracks of White stomping through garage rock at full sprint, this one drops into a crawl. That choice
It has been almost a decade since Hoobastank dropped a new song, and that gap shows up everywhere on “How Do You Sleep?” which was released on 14th June 2026. The band came back swinging, choosing a sound rooted in their own beginnings rather than chasing the radio formula that made them famous. The Sound
The Strokes have released “Falling Out of Love and I did not realize how much I needed to hear this song until I was three listens deep and suddenly understanding why they recorded it this way. The band sounds like they’ve made peace with their sound and aren’t trying to prove anything anymore. From the
Last Dinner Party have just dropped off “Big Dog” and it proves where they’re at currently as a band. “Big Dog” dropped with a kind of casual confidence that comes from artists who’ve found their footing and aren’t second guessing themselves no more. The song sits right at the intersection of polish and rawness and
Young the Giant return with “Already There,” a track that feels like coming home after a pretty long time away. The band pulls back from the ambitious concept work they’ve done in recent years and they settle into something more direct, more honest, and honestly more beautiful for it. This is what happens when a
Days We Left Behind Review: Paul just dropped “Days We Left Behind” from his new album “The Boys of Dungeon Lane” out 29th May and honestly, I couldn’t wait to sit down and really listen to what he’s put together this time around.

Muse’s “Be With You,” released March 19, 2026, is the lead single from their tenth studio album “The WOW! Signal” and it is one to miss. Here I review the track in full and give you a peek into their new album dropping on 26th June 2026. Song Analysis (Be With You Review) “Be With
American Girls review: Harry Styles has released “American Girls,” the lead single from his fourth studio album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., and it arrives as both a bold statement of intent and a quietly personal confession wrapped inside three minutes of gleaming disco-pop. Out now via Columbia Records, the track marks his first
Bad Moons review: American Football are back. Seven years on from LP3 and nearly three decades into a career that quietly reshaped what guitar music could feel like, the Illinois band have returned with Bad Moons, the lead single from their forthcoming fourth album LP4, due May 1st via Polyvinyl. It is eight minutes long,
Song Of The Future Review: U2 are back, and they have not come quietly. The Irish rock veterans returned in February 2026 with a surprise six track EP titled Days Of Ash, a raw and politically charged body of work that nobody saw coming but somehow feels like the record the world needed right now.
Placebo review: Liam Gallagher’s son Gene Gallagher and his UK rock band Villanelle have released their latest single “Placebo”, and it is without question the most ferocious thing they have put out yet. The London trio have been steadily building a reputation as one of the most exciting new guitar bands in Britain, selling out
New York review: Marmozets come roaring back with “New York,” and honestly, it feels like they never left. After eight years away, this Yorkshire quartet manages to bottle up everything that made them special in the first place while pushing into new territory. The track kicks off their upcoming album CO.WAR.DICE., and right from the
Streets of Minneapolis Review: Bruce Springsteen has just released “Streets of Minneapolis,” a fierce protest song taking aim at ICE operations in the Twin Cities, and it’s unlike anything he’s put out in years. Dropped yesterday in response to the federal crackdown happening right now, this track doesn’t waste time with subtlety or polish. You
To Love Somebody Review: Holly Humberstone has just released “To Love Somebody,” a track that sets itself apart from the bedroom pop vulnerability of her earlier work. This latest single reveals a more mature sound, built around the complicated emotions of watching someone you care about go through heartbreak. What could have been another melancholic
Opening Night Review: Arctic Monkeys are back having dropped “Opening Night” at 3pm on January 22nd, 2025, and fans have been dissecting every second of it since. The track marks their contribution to HELP(2), the upcoming charity compilation from War Child Records set for release on March 6th. This isn’t just another single tossed into
Wall of Sound Review: Charli xcx returns with a new song “Wall of Sound”. It is a stunning departure from her recent work that trades the pulsing club energy of Brat for something far more intimate and cinematic. It has been released as part of her upcoming Wuthering Heights soundtrack album and this track finds
Beer and Blood Stains Review: New Found Glory return with Beer and Blood Stains, a track that feels like the band digging back into their roots and coming up with something that actually sounds vital again. This is the kind of song that reminds you why people fell in love with them in the first
All My Life Review: Ten years is a long time between proper studio albums, but Robbie Williams has come back swinging with “All My Life” and it’s an absolute monster of a track. This is the sound of someone who’s stopped giving a damn about what’s trendy and just made the exact record he wanted
