Scranton, Pennsylvania’s very own platinum-selling metal powerhouse, Motionless In White, have officially unveiled their highly anticipated new studio album, DECADES, out today via Roadrunner Records. To celebrate the arrival of the full-length record, the band has simultaneously dropped a brand-new lyric video for their heavy-hitting focus track, ‘Fight Like Hell.’
HEAVY WILD UNLEASH NEW SINGLE
London’s own heavy wild make a triumphant return today with the release of their brand new single, ‘Lonely Dawn,’ marking their official debut on their new label home, Submarine Cat Records. Building upon the lo-fi, alternative rock sensibilities that defined last year’s Death Dreams EP, the track sees the band expanding their sonic horizons to unearth a newfound urgency. Anchored by a driving, heavy bass riff and propelled by a frenetic lead guitar line, the instrumentation masterfully mirrors feelings of frustration and disarray, constantly pushing and pulling the listener before finally erupting into a towering, cathartic crescendo.
LIVE REVIEW: 2000 TREES FESTIVAL 2026
One balmy 30° Wednesday in July, several thousand determined and excited fans descended on Upcote farm in Cheltenham to get the Beeros in and trade sweat in the mosh pits of 2000 trees. The midweek kick-off didn't deter the enthusiasm with a duo of stages supplying the soundtrack to tent pitching and friend reunions, The Word stage playing host to half the acts and The Forest providing much needed shelter for the other half. The nineteenth annual edition of the Cotswold alt-rock party returned for 2026 with almost identical weather as the previous year, which could only be described as, bloody hot.

LIVE REVIEW: ALANIS MORISSETTE AT CRYSTAL PALACE PARK, LONDON 04/07/26 (+ RUTI, PALE WAVES, SKUNK ANANSIE)
Some albums become part of your DNA. For me, Jagged Little Pill wasn't bought with pocket money or unwrapped on Christmas morning. It lived in my older brother's prized cassette collection, tucked between Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and I distinctly remember waiting until he'd gone out before sneaking it into my Walkman. At twelve years old I barely understood what Alanis Morissette was singing about, but I knew it felt different. Dangerous, honest and thrillingly angry. Thirty-one years later, standing in Crystal Palace Park among thousands of people who looked like they'd grown up alongside those songs, it was impossible not to feel that same rush.
LIVE REVIEW: GARBAGE & SKUNK ANANSIE AT DREAMLAND, MARGATE 19/06/2026 (+ DU BLONDE)
There are some bands that don't just soundtrack your youth, they help define it. For women who came of age in the 1990s, Garbage and Skunk Anansie were never simply alternative rock bands. They were permission slips. Permission to be loud, complicated, political, vulnerable, angry, glamorous and unapologetically ourselves. Standing beneath the open skies at Dreamland on a warm June evening, surrounded by thousands of women who looked suspiciously like they'd once raided Camden Market in the late '90s, it felt less like a nostalgia trip and more like a reunion with old friends who'd never stopped fighting.
AGAINST THE CURRENT UNVEIL NEW SINGLE
Acclaimed alternative rock trio Against the Current has unveiled their anthemic new single ‘Always You & I,’ which stands out as one of the more cinematic and romantic moments from their upcoming studio album. The track leans heavily into the record’s overarching themes of love, fate, devotion, and the profound journey of finding something that feels completely constant through every shifting version of life.
FUTURE PALACE SHARE NEW SINGLE

ALBUM REVIEW: MUSE - THE WOW! SIGNAL (26/06/26)
Muse's tenth studio album, THE WOW! SIGNAL, is arguably their strongest and most focused release since BLACK HOLES and REVELATIONS. It doesn't reinvent the band, but it refines nearly every aspect of what they've spent 25 years building: towering riffs, cinematic production, science-fiction themes, and emotional vulnerability.

HYPHEN RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE
Rap and punk rising star Hyphen makes a triumphant return today with the release of his ferocious new single, ‘Said What I Said’. Driven by his signature meticulous rap flow, the track is perfectly complemented by an urgent, driving riff that runs continuously throughout. The song’s title transforms into a hooky, infectious chant during the chorus, which has already been going down an absolute storm live, solidifying itself as the ultimate standout moment during Hyphen’s headline sets back in May.
