Dust off those dancing shoes, folks! This Monday, we’re rewriting the musical rulebook with the electrifying music of Adam Humphries. He’s got beats that defy definition, hooks that hit like sonic jackhammers, and a knack for crafting genre-hopping sonic rockets that’ll leave you breathless.

Soft, the stunning delicate French-pop ballad debut from Line Beauclair out now!

And a lovely one it is as well. Line’s voice is gentle and soft and gets your attention just like that. Born of American and French stock, Beauclair takes inspiration from both countries and mixes them effortlessly. Definitely one to keep your eye on this coming year

THE MISERABLE RICH – Release uplifting “Probably Will” Single || From ‘Overcome’ Album (out 2 Feb)

TWIST MURPHY’S LAW WITH NEW SINGLE: 

“PROBABLY WILL”

FEAT. MIKE SIDDELL (HOPE OF THE STATES / THE LEISURE SOCIETY) + KELLY BARNES

Take the concept of Teddy Bear’s Picnic and related depictions and a bit of creative thinking any idea what you would get? Something quite intriguing 

WATCH THE OFFICIAL VIDEO HERE 

I have never heard of these guys before, though I have heard of The Leisure Society (and met two of them in person) but I kept an open mind for what I’d hear. Mike’s got a strong but also gentle singing voice and he’s definitely carrying the song. Enjoying it

THE SLEEPING SOULS – Release “Scared of Living” Official Video || + UK Headline Tour Begins n/w

I’ve seen a couple of things by Sleeping Souls before so I had an idea of what to expect, and fair to say, I wasn’t disappointed. It’s actually quite intriguing when colors are used to a maximum. Good how the animation provides a bit of storytelling in an almost dramatized type way

Pet Needs, new single / tour news?

“SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD”

Very rock’n’roll. For me, this is the sort of video which shows what rock bands are about and goes back to the essence of the whole artist/fan relationship. It reminds me of what it is I like about live shows and the buzz and the excitement about them.

Strange Boy release new single + video ‘Follow The News’! Debut album out March 1st on Groenland Records

Last time I saw a videos like this were the late George Michael’s The City and Billy Joel’s Start the Fire. All the action happens in one place and you just watch people appearing and doing things. I think it’s good how all the characters represent something cultural, even the guy pulling off the Uma Thurman Pulp Fiction look
