Aside from having a great band name, Nottingham outfit Midnight Rodeo is making a fantastic entry in the industry with their new single 'Now You're Gone'. 'Now You're Gone' is a wonderfully mixed gumbo of alternative, psychedelic, spaghetti western and dream pop, perfectly cooked and served.
Birmingham-based Phil Madeley has unveiled his latest tune dubbed 'In Dreams'. Musically the track is a nostalgic blend of modern indie, 60s psych, and 80s pop melodies that is whipped into one sonic concoction that not only defies time but is highly refreshing in this modern copy, paste and release climate of music.
Los Angeles rockers Frankie and the Witch Fingers bring forth a heavy dose of psychedelic with their latest track 'Cookin''. The song is the A-side on their 7" release which features the B-side cut 'Tracksuit', which is out on Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society.
L.A. punk outfit Death Valley Girls have released their new single 'It's All Really Kind of Amazing' via Suicide Squeeze. Quite the uplifting song, the track touches on believing in your dreams and the understanding that you can achieve your visions. Magnificently composed, there are elements of psychedelic and desert rock with bright pop melodies bursting through the production.
Building up a strong base since 2019, Manchester's Mister Strange have dropped their new EP 'I', out now via the PNKSLM imprint. The 6-track record is fiery, core garage and punk rock topped with good old fuzz-driven guitar riffs, slippery bass lines, reverb-soaked vocals and an unadulterated dose of energy reminiscent of the 70s glory punk days of New York City but definitely with a modern edge.
Toronto's Hot Garbage deliver the official video for their single 'Sometimes', taken from the group's forthcoming album 'RIDE', out October 29th via Mothland. Directed by William Suarez, clips depict each band member on a telephone call in specific environments and scenarios.
London trio Voka Gentle have surely experimented with sound over the years, yet their recent recordings have gone much darker, fostering incredible results that are not only edgy musically, but reminiscent of the times where acts would step outside the norms of genres. Case in point, their latest single 'Horse Latitudes', an utterly exciting blend of indie, electronica and psychedelic.
Barcelona band The Zephyr Bones have shared their new single 'Verneda Lights', taken from their forthcoming LP 'Neon Body'. The track is the follow-up from their previously released track 'No One'.

Los Angeles rockers Death Valley Girls have unveiled the video to their track 'I'm A Man Too', which is taken from their album 'Glow in the Dark', set to get reissued on August 27th via Suicide Squeeze Records. Directed by Cherry, the vid is one long take on how to apply makeup in the most absurd way. Seemingly representing a duality of genders with there being a moustache and thick eyebrows painted on the face, the track itself is definitely one of the highlights on the LP.
Leeds has been an all-out hotbed of musical talent over the past few years. One band that definitely stands out is Van Houten, whose dreamy sound is utterly infectious. Van Houten's latest single is the dreamy 'IDK', a breezy indie meets psychedelic pop offering that shimmers with an air of late 70s/early 80s nostalgia planted with a modern rooting. Charged by rubbery guitar lines, light drum work and gentle vocals, 'IDK' is the perfect cool-out cut that makes you want to be in the ultimate place of peace.
