Yard Act             You’re Gonna Need A Little Music      

Weirdly, for a band so associated with incendiary live shows and constant touring, their third LP marks the first time that the quartet have ever made an album together, as a live band in the same room.

Tricky                  Different When It’s Silent        

Across fourteen tracks, Tricky blends skeletal blues, brooding electronics, distorted guitars and stark hip-hop rhythms into a sound that feels both stripped-back and expansive.

Cinder Well      A Blooming Body         

A sound that is both expansive and cinematic, and the kind of experimentation which lead to her composing the original theme song and score for the hit BBC TV series Small Prophets.

The Menzingers              Everything I Ever Saw

Since forming in 2006, The Menzingers stand as one of the defining voices of their generation—turning weathered memories and the uneasy passage of time into anthems that have profoundly reshaped the emotional landscape of modern punk.

Franklin              Go Kid Go         

They sit somewhere between bands like Jawbox, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Seaweed—with that late-90s emo/indie crossover feel. There’s also a touch of Fugazi in their DNA, especially in the rhythmic drive and guitar interplay.

Max Subar         Anything Could Be      

Its 11 songs are imbued with what the poet Adrienne Rich called “a wild patience,” a radical stillness that is, itself, a journey towards consciousness, peace, and self-awareness.

Member of Bad Brains whose record leans heavily into exploratory jazz, fusion, dub, and psychedelic improvisation.

Psycroptic         The Pulse of Annihilation         

Technical death metal act that has built a reputation on rhythmic complexity, exacting musicianship, and a refusal to plateau.

Laggard              7 Signs You’re Dating A Narcissist      

Framed by the artist as “an electronic/experimental music project by a reluctant songwriter,” the record balances compositional intent with emotional unease. It is electronic music more concerned with texture, tension, and atmosphere than with traditional song structure.

Shannon Clark              All You Need To Know

A weathered voice from the heartland, born of rustbelt roots, raised on grit, and, as he puts it, always led by love.

Protest The Hero           Within 

Progressive metal group expanding on the technical intensity and fearless experimentation that have defined their career.

An album full of power and passion, combined with the classic 80s metal sound.

DIY punk band with eight songs of unyielding defiance
