PREMIERE: German-Swiss duo BOY retool comeback single ‘Fit Back In’ with help from Hamburg’s Kaiser Quartett
It’s strange how songs written in specific circumstances can take on new significance in different situations. Written after the loss of lead singer Valeska Steiner’s father, ‘Fit Back In’ was released in May as a teaser track from BOY‘s forthcoming third album and the long-awaited successor to 2015’s We Were Here. The task of fitting …

We premiered the lead single from New Jersey trio Cold Weather Company‘s new record toward the end of June, to head up the release of their Coalescence, Pt. 1 primer EP, and are equally pleased to premiere the next cut from it; and we mean ‘cut’ in the most literal sense. A self-contained track in …
PREMIERE: Phantom Limb get weird in ‘Guppy’ video as they prep new album for November
If you’re not a fan of strange-textured foods or seeing said strange-textured foods thrown in faces, we’d recommend you tab out of this new Phantom Limb clip and treat yourself to the audio-only experience.

PREMIERE: D’arcy is on the attack in ambitious new ‘Dangerous’ video
The New York City-based D’arcy has been building on her early momentum since releasing her debut single ‘Crush‘ late last year, and her star will no doubt continue to rise in 2021 – her new song, a thrilling alt-pop cut called ‘Dangerous’ should be all the proof you need. Of the song, she says that …

Premiere: Nick Kingswell releases the shimmering double singles ‘Deep Blue’ and ‘Money in the Bank’
We are honoured to premiere a double single release from Australian expat living in the UK, Nick Kingswell.

Premiere: Italian post-punks Edna Frau release new video for Angry Face Man; See it here, first
Edna Frau is essentially the side project of Postvorta’s Andrea Fioravanti, but rather than the extreme sounds of that band, he runs down a more catchy, post-punk avenue. The outfit, which includes Vincenzo ‘Vins’ Baruzzi of The Doormen and Annihilator drummer Fabio Alessandrini, have recently released their debut album ‘My Ego is Bigger Than Yours’ …
PREMIERE: Field Guide wants to ‘Make Peace With That’, shares loved-up new song ‘Me & You’
Sometimes you uproot your life right before a global pandemic, which is to say that it was incredibly unfortunate timing for Canadian Dylan MacDonald when he did that early last year, moving to Toronto where it rapidly became clear that his only option was to focus on writing music – it was a fraught but …
PREMIERE: Rubber Band Gun puts it all on black in video for freewheeling new track ‘My Time’, announces new album for November
If you know New Jersey workhorse Kevin Basko, then you know he doesn’t do things by halves. He’s spent much of the previous decade as the main creative force behind Rubber Band Gun, and put out a fully-fledged album pretty much fortnightly under this name in 2019. All 25 of those records are on his …
