#OUTNOW!: Stellar Jays - "Mojave"

#SingerSongwriter! Elizabeth Sheppard - "Poor Little Boy"

#NewSong! Hollywood Brown - ‘Chain Reaction’

Chain Reaction is a sonic love letter to the titans of 80s rock, drenched in electrifying riffs, thunderous drumbeats, and a cascade of sound that never quits. Picture Hollywood Brown stepping into his musical TransAm, cranking the volume to the limit, and unleashing ‘Chain Reaction’ in a blaze of auditory glory. This latest gem from Birmingham’s 80s aesthete is a masterclass in retro production, seamlessly weaving the era’s techniques into every (recording)track. ‘Chain Reaction’ by Hollywood Brown is a time machine back to the golden age of bombastic rock.

#ListenNOW! Me & Melancholy - "Under Cover, Part 2 (Album)"

Peter Ehrling, aka Me & Melancholy, pays homage to his gods and indulges in a bit of nostalgia. He takes up the shovel for us and sets out in search of lost treasures. He dusts them off and polishes them in his own way, so they shine anew. From The Cure to Depeche Mode to Bronski Beat, all find their place in this extraordinary musical showcase titled ‘Under Cover, Part 2’. Even if you know the original, Me & Melancholy has managed to add touches that make the songs sound surprisingly fresh. My personal favourite: Smalltown Boy.

#ListenNOW! dezabel - "Can't Stand You"

#OUTNOW Close to Monday - "Different"

In an era where virtual interactions are becoming increasingly prevalent, Close to Monday’s latest release, “Different,” offers a thought-provoking reflection on the challenges posed by this modern phenomenon. In terms of musical composition, this single represents an accomplished fusion of driving synth-pop, evoking the spirit of a creative collaboration between New Order and Bronski Beat. The musical performance is distinguished by exceptional vocal delivery, seamlessly enhanced by captivating synthesizer riffs. This harmonious blend evokes a profound sense of collective nostalgia, lingering in our memories and leaving us with a lasting smile. This noteworthy release is positioned to captivate not only enthusiasts of synth-pop but also a more expansive audience, due to its compelling sound and thought-provoking theme.
