GAZPACHO releases lyric video and announces Spring ’26 Tour Dates

December 4, 2025

Norwegian progressive rockers Gazpacho have just released a lyric video for their track Starling.  In addition they have announced tour dates for their Spring European tour. Speaking on the news, songwriter and keyboardist Thomas Andersen shared the following in his usual enigmatic fashion – “We are adding an extra touch to the festive season and without fully disclosing all of our plans let us just softly allude to what is coming with the following clues, hints and other clever ways to say that we are going on a tour without saying we are going on a tour even if we are going on a tour which we are. The bags are packed. Mostly with equipment as is our custom, but also with clothes to protect the gear from damage. These clothes may be worn as well. A double whammy. Passports are freshened up and looking fantastic! Set lists have been written, memorised and discarded and that process has been repeated many times and yes, “Starling” might still be on the list. Our collegues and bosses have been [Read More]

October 8, 2025

International singer Azam Ali releases new video for title track off her new album; Synesthesia which is set for a November 14th release via COP International. The title track truly transports listeners into an ethereal space. About the new track and album, Azam Ali comments, “My music is an invitation to step beyond the confines of time, place, and the fragile vessel of flesh, into a universe without borders, I want the listener to feel carried into the vastness of the ethereal, where freedom breathes and every note reveals our part in a greater design. In this realm, we are no longer solitary beings, but shining stars drawn together into galaxies, each one a reminder that we are participants in a cosmic symphony far larger than ourselves.” About the video Evoking John Everett Millais’ classic painting Ophelia, the exquisite and haunting video directed by Tas Limur features Azam submerged in a pool filled with verdant flowers and flora. The visual parallel is striking: in Millais’s painting, the drowned Hamlet character floats among blossoms; in Azam’s video, she swims and contorts beneath [Read More]

The Last Dinner Party release new track and video for The Scythe, off their upcoming album From the Pyre

September 5, 2025

We are very excited to share new music from The Last Dinner Party. They have just released their new track, The Scythe which is off their forthcoming album, From the Pyre which is set for a release on October 17th via Island Records. The song was conceived by Abigail Morris in her teens as a breakup song. Abigail Morris on ‘The Scythe’: “This song began 9 years ago, like a prophecy. I wrote it before I had known anything of grief or heartbreak, how a relationship ending feels exactly the same as that person dying. Once you know how it feels to lose someone you enter a new realm from which you can never return. You’re trying to reach them telepathically through psychics or song lyrics (sometimes those two become the same) and sometimes they give you a reply. It can take 9 years to realise you’re even grieving at all but once you do you see them everywhere – in a robin, in a street fox, in a Wim Wenders film. The Scythe comes [Read More]

November 17, 2025

Last night, San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom was transformed into a place of pure musical electricity as Midnight Til Morning delivered a breathtaking, stellar performance. The group born from the Netflix series Building the Band, has a uniquely modern origin story: musicians forming a band without ever seeing one another, focusing entirely on chemistry, creativity, and instinct rather than appearances. What emerged from that experiment was a remarkably cohesive and charismatic Australian/American boy band featuring Shane Appell, Zach Newbould, Conor Smith and Mason Watts, a group whose artistry has expanded far beyond what viewers witnessed on the show.

PREMIERE: Highway Terrier is Reviving Rock with new release Covid Blues

August 28, 2025

Highway Terrier is a rising new band out of Davis, California, and they are ready to make big waves with the release of their new track Covid Blues. The song carries the grit of early blues-influenced classic rock, fueled by raw energy and an authentic sound that feels both fresh and nostalgic. We had the chance to chat with Ben Sherstinsky and what you to get to know your new favorite band! Founder/Guitarist Ben Sherstinsky shares how Highway Terrier came about, In the fall of 2024, I had recorded four songs where I played all or most instruments on each track, and did the lead vocals on two of them. The time came to form a live band, so I brought together some people I had played and performed with in the past, as well as some new people, most of whom I knew from UC Davis. I knew I wanted a singer with a raspy, gritty timbre, and once I heard Christian Bush sing I knew he was the guy. One Sunday night, both [Read More]

We Came As Romans release new single “One By One”

August 20, 2025

Michigan metalcore titans We Came As Romans have announced their highly anticipated new album, ‘ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED’, a while ago. Time is flying fast and the release is almost upon us – Friday, August 22nd! The announcement arrived alongside the release of the album’s third single, “culture wound,” and its accompanying official music video. Following the defiant anthems “bad luck” and “no rest for the dreamer,” this track dives deep into the battle between our best and worst impulses. “culture wound” confronts the fundamental question at the heart of human existence: are we inherently good or inherently bad? The track wrestles with the forces—both internal and external—that shape who we become, delivered through the band’s signature blend of crushing riffs and soaring melodies. “culture wound is about taking a look inside and deciding which side of yourself is going to control your life. This song was written to question our human nature – is it inherently good or inherently selfish? Are we here to try and make something better for everyone or just [Read More]
