"Music is power, let it flow through your mind" (Richard Ashcroft)
London's own Whitelands are a shoegaze delight. Their music transports to you the cosmos and beyond space time. Their latest is called Sunlight Echoes and it's bloody marvelous.
Opening track...
Hey folks, meet Tyler Ballgame. He just dropped his first record called For The First Time, Again, and it's a veritable cornucopia of indie and alternative grist. It's also a bail of fun!
Title track...
The pride of Kitchener, Ontario has dropped their first full length shoegaze extravaganza and I am loving it. Softcult has a very promising future indeed!
One of my faves...
Brighton's own Plantoid are back with FLARE, a veritable tour de force of awesomeness. Their musical bland is quite unique in its brit alternative indieness.
Fave...
Ari Lennox is a national treasure. Her music is America. Her latest record is called Vacancy and it is most amazing. I feel like I'm in a classic, black and white film when I listen to it.
Opening track...
The mellow comfort of Jordan Ward is back in the form of his wonderful new record called Backward. The St Louis native will make your soul ignite on this one.
Opening track sets the tone...
GUV is the latest incarnation of musical master, Ben Cook. Warmer Than Gold is the extremely wonderful showcase of his latest musical voyages rom the North Carolina son. Let's hop on his cosmic ship, shall we?
Opening track, sets the vibe of letting go..
Chilli Jesson (Palma Violets) has a great new band called Dead Dad's Club. Their self titled album just dropped and it's magnificent. Loads and lots of soaring guitars and pomp. So good!
Single from the record...
Poppy is back with a wonderful new record called Empty Hands. The album sees some explorations into different styles, including heaviosity.
One of my faves...
Louis Tomlinson is back with a fantastic pure pop record called How Did I Get Here? The pop just oozes off this one folks. Check it out!
Opening track...
Robbie Williams has made a Brit Rock album. He even titled it BRITPOP to let us all know how serious he is about the genre. The album is a stunner. Check it out!
Opening track slams us...
Cast is back with an absolute corker of a record. Yeah Yeah Yeah lays out new boundaries of dudes with guitars music. It's pure Brit Rock jasm.
Opening track...triumphant
Mon Rovia is back with a completely overwhelming record called Bloodline. The title track is a testament to love, life and family. So so good...
Metalheads united! The new Megadeath is fucking ridiculous. It's funny because I'm not a huge metal guy, liking stuff here and there, but this is one of the best I've heard in years. Self titled. Raw. Insane!
Opening shredder....
Oslo's own Sassy009 is back with a corker of a record. Dreamer+ is truly for everyone. A stunning mind trip guaranteed to move the spirit.

The Dutch band Yin Yin has a stellar new one out called Yatta. The psychedelic grooves are abundant and the cosmic journey is deep. Check it out!
Ryan Adams (aka greatest current American songwriter) snuck an album out at the end of 2025 and I want to note it today. Self Portrait is a deeply introspective effort from someone who normally is such a way.
The opening track beautifully sets the tone...
The sophomore effort from European Son is out and it is a magnificent jangly dudes with guitars record. When Britain Was Great shows a titanic level of progression for this fab band.
Opener...
The giant fists of Nottingham are back. Sleadford Mods. Massively in our face. The new record is called The Demise of Planet X and it kicks all kinds of ass.
Opens with a head butt
