Manifesting the free spirit which runs through the band’s name into their music, Mild Wild’s latest single, ‘Medium Weekend’ is a luscious lo-fi criticism of suburban culture. A stream of consciousness crafted nonchalantly from the lead singer’s luminous brainwaves, topics flow endlessly into existence. Easing their way to prominence over jangling guitar riffs and breathy, reverberating harmonies as if they were nothing but colour on a page.

Crashing through your soul, Graywave’s new single, ‘Like Heaven’, sirens you to jump into a storm. The passion project of the Birmingham-based Jess Webberly, this track is the deepest exploration of her tumultuous musical landscape to date.

An unconstrained fight which grows out from silence to entangle you beyond the point of no return.

Energetically charged and somewhat angsty- Fairway have resurrected Pop Punk with their own infused Alt Rock twist, with the release of their newest single ‘Without You’.

Erupting onto Glasgow’s burgeoning underground scene just a short year ago, Spyres combine powerful female-fronted energy with vulnerable, organic lyricism and soaring rock-infused riffs. Their latest release “I Don’t Care” is intoxicating, as lofty hooks and exultant guitar rhythms define Spyres’ forceful sound. Described as a “pure coming of age song” by vocalist and guitarist Keira McGuire, the track combines infectious melodies and gusty post-punk inspired riffs in equal measure.

An Indie Pop anthem made to be performed to the masses- Rofi James’ most recent musical offering ‘Sorry’ will be a sure-fire festival favourite for the eagerly-awaited return of live music.  Despite the advent of the current pandemic, this ‘stadium act just waiting for a stadium’ haven’t let their creative output be stunted, and have instead made these less-than-ideal circumstances work in their favour.

Following the release of his very-well-received debut EP, Finn Forster is back with another Indie Folk banger in the form of his latest single ‘Time’. Sonically, a multitude of genre-bending instrumental elements can be heard, with country-esque guitar slides, melodic and authentic lead vocals and soulful, yet eerie folk harmonies to name but a few.

Lulling you into a deep sense of security, The Rapports latest single’, Dreamer’, is a spell cast with the power of a thousand watts of buzzing guitar fuelled energy. As only their second single released in three years, this track which follows on from ‘Problems’ sees them exploring a lighter path far from their underground garage routes.

A chaotic, yet entirely infectious assault on the ears- Banji’s latest single ‘Listen’ will make you sit up and do just that. Spiky guitars, self-assured and steadfast percussion and video game synths, carry a melody that sounds like a grown-up nursery rhyme - this somewhat hectic combination of sounds and sensations shouldn’t work, but somehow, they really do. Hailing from the Netherlands, Banji have taken inspiration from the likes of Darwin Deez and Beck to create a sardonic symphony which packs a real punch and treads the very thin line between charming and obnoxious, managing to stay just the right side of it.

Bristolians Make Friends, make a sonic statement and celebrate the hard-earned talent of creative industries in latest single ‘Kung-Fu’. The track is an undiluted indie banger, directly responding to the threat posed to music and the arts this year, by the now rather tiresome COVID-19 pandemic. As a band coming up through the ranks, ‘Kung-Fu’ couldn’t be more fitting, as it challenges the absurdity of being told to retrain, after years of honing in their musical craft.

In a moment that’s so serendipitous it could almost be a scene from an adolescent rom-com, For You The Moon first met in a fated encounter at a houseparty where they bonded over a shared love of Basement, The Killers and Bring Me The Horizon. And their sound follows the same cinematic trajectory. Messy break-ups, a bit too much partying and freedom from the shackles of emotional repression are integral to the Leeds-based foursome’s visceral, roaring rhythms.

The Liverpool-based trio have come together and created an energetic and unique sound in their fusion of an eclectic mix of musical influences ranging from the likes of Tame Impala to The Killers. The subsequent result is an incredibly bright and dynamic sound comprised of ridiculously catchy hooks and textured arrangements, which evidences the group’s experimental approach to music making and their progression and development in creating their self-styled ‘scouse synth-pop’ sound.

Lenox Hills provide a welcome bout of nostalgia and daydream distraction with their latest single ‘I Feel it Coming on’. The track oozes a sense of freedom in its reminiscence of a time of juvenile lack of responsibility and abandon, aiming to provide the listener with a ‘feel good song’ to help them through the tough times. This sense of freedom is heightened in Lenox Hills’ dynamic and boisterous sonic demeanour, which has the ability to convey a ceaseless stream of energy and buoyancy to the listener.

Animated, vibrant and authentic- Cxl Mxck’s latest single ‘Mushroom Treatment’ is a high-speed venture into the world of loneliness.
