Proklaim, or Mr Prolific as he’s known around these parts, is a Namibian rapper who really needs no introduction at this point. He’s been a staple of our musical diet for years, and it’s been a thrilling journey watching his sonic career unfold.  ‘LSD’ is the artist’s first release of 2025, and it sees Proklaim […]

Anna Thoresen is unquestionably one of the most exciting new artists around. Based in Los Angeles, the singer/songwriter and producer glided into my sonic orbit last year with her velvety and soulful RnB masterpiece ‘MARY JANE’. Then came ‘DEAR SOULMATE’, a tune that showcased Anna’s ability to seamlessly shift genres, as she leaned into more […]

We are honestly impressed by Gus Defelice’s instrumental prowess. Championing an eclectic progressive metal outlook, the London-based musician particularly excels when expressing himself through intricate guitar techniques and fast-paced riffing. Inspired by the likes of Dream Theater, Gojira, Alcest, and Mastodon, Gus doesn’t seek to reinvent the wheel. Instead, he wants to master it. And […]

‘I Remember The Early Days’ is an interesting record to write about, especially when compared to other jazz records we have taken on in the past few years. You see, everyone seems to have lost the passion for ‘swung’ jazz, instead using straight tempos as a modern canvas to improvise on. Of course, there’s a […]

Gearing up for a busy year, Pierce’s latest […]

It’s not easy to allocate John Budnik Band into a genre box. Simply, the talented Alaskan seems to surf over a wealth of references and inspirations, borrowing the most interesting elements and re-packing them into an authentic, electrifying formula. ‘Beginner’s Mind’ is the result of such a process, a deep dive into classic rock, blues […]

Often, simplicity is the best approach to artistic expression. Owen Young knows it well, packing his acoustic gems with bucolic, heartwarming energy, partly echoing the tender country landscape he lives in. Hailing from Southern Ontario, the talented troubadour could be considered a mature artist, yet, for us it’s a quality in his favour. The depth […]

We have been following Coma Beach for a while, and it’s always interesting to observe the way they are honouring their past records. In particular, much work has been put into celebrating the 30th anniversary of their debut album ‘The Scapegoat’s Agony’, originally released in 1995. Based in Germany, Coma Beach navigates the divide between […]

It’s been less than a year since Gaslight‘s debut album, yet the Australian rockers seem determined to once again remind us of their fierce take on classic rock and gentle punk rebellion. ‘Inner City Sally’ is the single that takes the cake, a punchy, fuzzy anthem packed with electrifying guitar tones and relatable, playful lyricism. […]

A bold, uplifting and fierce anthem, ‘Get Outta My Yard’ marks Charlotte Grayson’s welcome return, following up on a two-year hiatus. Leaving behind her previous band The Shame Areas – which still managed to record the single for her – the talented English songstress is now focusing on her solo effort, and we couldn’t be […]

There’s a lot to appreciate in ‘Oceans’, but overall we’d love for the listeners to take it at face value, letting themselves loose to the haunting, sultry vibe the record has to offer. Dancing is highly recommended too! Penned by Australian DJ and producer Gone Magic, the single develops his catalogue even further, enriching a […]
