March 16, 2022

Today, genre-bending heavy alt-rock duo Nova Twins (guitarist/vocalist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South) have released their new single “Cleopatra”, an electro-rock rush of intent that sees these fierce ladies declare: “Wouldn’t wanna be anyone but me – I’m the fucking queen”. It’s a blast of confidence born of social unrest and a standout track at the band’s recent sold-out shows. The track is the latest single off their upcoming album “Supernova”, due out June 17th via Marshall Records. “‘Cleopatra’ was written off the back of the Black Lives Matter protests. Attending them made us feel powerful as two mixed-race women in an era where people were suddenly waking up to Anti Racists conversations”, says Love. “It’s about celebrating who we are and being proud of where we come from. We hope this song encourages people from all walks of life to act and feel the same way too”. 2022 has already been a landmark year for Nova Twins.

Greyhaven share new track “Ornaments From The Well”

March 15, 2022

Louisville, KY band Greyhaven shared their chilling new single and visualizer “Ornaments From The Well” a few days ago. The song will appear on the band’s upcoming album “This Bright and Beautiful World” set for release April 15th on Rude Records/Equal Vision Records. “Ornaments From The Well” highlights a continued shift into a new era of the band, evoking a mix of anguished alt-rock and post-hardcore punctuated by moments of raw brutality. The new song is the 10th and final track of the album, and a fitting conclusion to the band’s most emotive release yet. Serpentine riffs permeate the song, building a sinister tension that helps the band’s distinct melodic sensibilities shine. The lyrics are stark and brooding, adding a palpable sense of darkness to the track that is punctuated by the swirling accompanying visualizer. Speaking on the theme of the song, singer Brent Mills had this to say: “Last song on the record. First and only song I had finished lyrics for when we left for the studio. I didn’t realize it would set [Read More]

It will be released July 22nd via Rise Records.

Talking about the single, Brandon says: “What I want people to get out of this song is, I want them to feel safe listening to it… especially if you suffer from these things. At the end of the day, it’s all that I want to feel, is better. And I think that’s why that became such a stamp in this song because I think that’s what everybody wants to feel… Awareness is important, being kind to people is important. So I hope you get satisfaction out of this song like it has done for me.” A few weeks ago, Palisades released the music video for “My Consequences”, which reached almost 300k [Read More]

Yours Truly unveil new single/video “Lights On”

March 15, 2022

Australian alternative bright lights Yours Truly have unveiled their new single and music video ‘Lights On’ today, alongside the reveal of their rescheduled Australian headline tour. At just shy of three minutes long, ‘Lights On’ is fiery and to-the-point, while sticking around long enough to firmly cement itself in the listener’s head. Yours Truly vocalist Mikaila Delgado shares more on how the track was born: ‘Lights On’ is about challenging the way you view yourself and how much that is influenced by other people. Doing impulsive things to come off as adventurous and fun while you feel like you’re falling apart behind the scenes. I find it interesting when someone says “You’re not who I expected you to be” and when you sit with that for a while you start to think “what do I look like to others? Who am I to myself?” I figured out during this pandemic that being alone with your thoughts is where you truly begin to unpack who you are to your core”, she explains. “I discovered that a [Read More]

Deaf Havana release brand new song/video “Kids”

March 11, 2022

Hot on the heels of a triumphant return to the stage at a sold-out intimate show at Lafayette in London, Deaf Havana have released their new single, “Kids”. The reflective track hears the duo contemplate their youth, and James Veck-Gilodi has explained, “’Kids’, like many songs of ours, is a retrospective romance with our younger years. It views growing up in boring coastal towns through rose tinted glasses and asks a lot of questions as to what the people we grew up with are doing now. It’s mainly a nostalgic song about small English towns, about what could’ve been and what is”. The single arrives alongside the official music video, which was shot by Jon Stone in Brighton. It sees a young couple skateboard around the seaside town, whilst Deaf Havana perform the song in a separate snug location. It complements the sentiment of the song and perfectly portrays the romance of youth. Deaf Havana have been invited to support Don Broco at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall later this month. They will play a [Read More]
