May 8, 2026

Today, The Last Dinner Party released their new single “Big Dog,” a track that’s already become a standout favorite during their live shows. The song was co-produced by the ban, marking their first production credit alongside Animesh Raval. “Big Dog” leans into a darker, more intense art-pop sound with shades reminiscent of PJ Harvey.

Band member Georgia Davies explained that “Come All You Beasts” was created to introduce the mythic and storytelling themes that connect From the Pyre and “Big Dog.” She said the piece blends themes from the song with Bible passages, twisting traditional ideas about women’s safety. Drawing inspiration from poetry and performance art, the band felt spoken word and improvised music naturally fit their creative style. Fans can stream “Big Dog” and watch the accompanying music video now: The band has also added more dates supporting Olivia Rodrigo after strong demand.

The Amity Affliction share new song and announce new album

February 8, 2026

The Amity Affliction released a new song last Friday. Have you checked out “House Of Cards” yet? “House Of Cards” is a song penned by Joel Birch (singer) for his brother and sister (and himself), taking stock of the relationship shared with their mother; a central figure at the heart of the album. Open about the difficult nature of the relationship shared between mother and children, Birch unpacks the thematic nature of ‘House Of Cards’, “Our mother died in 2024 and none of us had a healthy relationship with her.
