NEW TRACK: Fairchild - Relevance

Fairchild create beautiful guitar heavy music, with drive and a distinct urgency.

And maybe it doesn’

NEW TRACK: Oh800 - Character Building

A song that uses the cowbell so joyfully in the opening bars, can only be helplessly horrible or incredibly awesome. The latter is the case with “Character Building”. After the cowbells did their job of somewhat sending us on a different sonic path, the track takes on a quality that

There are songs, that are beautifully intense and fill me with a deep feeling of excitement and also joy. “Shake Off”, the brand new single by Swedish three-piece Wildhart, is such a song. It goes under your skin with its frenzied rhythm, the hypnotic and at the same time unsettling

NEW TRACK: Tom Aspaul - Never Complaining

“Never Complaining” effortlessly blends dance, pop and R&B to one highly pleasurable track. “I need a miracle, make me invisible” croons U.K. artist Tom Aspaul, but that’s honestly not necessary with a song as alluring as “Never Complaining”. Listen to Tom Aspaul’s groovy newest single,

SONG PICK: DANCEHALL - Vs and Gs

Are not first ideas often the best anyway? Like the song title “Vs and Gs” which initially was only a demo title and a stand-in for “vocals and guitars”. With “Vs and Gs” London trio DANCEHALL deliver one incredibly infectious gem of a rock-song. Pulsating drums, pronounced guitars and edgy
