Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Alex Edep Two cities. Two dialects. One declaration. Made It On Our Own sounds like collision. Yeat ’s otherworldly, bass-heavy rage aesthetic crashes into EsDeeKid ’s sharp scouse cadence, creating a transatlantic flex rooted in independence. The title says everything... no co-sign narrative, no overnight myth, just momentum earned. Produced by Lucid and BNYX® signee Mathaius Young , the record surges with metallic synths and sub-heavy knoc

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Ellika Henriksson The storm isn’t coming, it’s already forming and José González built it. On A Perfect Storm , González sharpens his intricate fingerpicking into a sonic embodiment of the accelerating world he’s writing about. Drawing influence from West Saharan desert blues to the muscular tension of Quicksand and the rhythmic complexity of Battles , González expands beyond hushed folk minimalism. The track begins with his signature acoust

Written By: Big C Cue the strings as the yacht pulls away from the dock. A figure in dark sunglasses boards a seaplane bound for somewhere impossibly glamorous. Monster Rally reframes the unmistakable elegance of Henry Mancini ’s 1961 composition Lujon into a lush, tropical espionage vignette, entitled Flight To Capri . For Feighan , the homage runs deep. Mancini’s Pink Panther theme was an early imprint, and "Lujon" remains one of the great examples of orchestral cool. On

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Micala Austin Impulse doesn't have to be reckless. With Let’s Do Something Stupid! , Bryce Vine develops clarity with out overthinking fully into a philosophy. Where earlier chapters blurred hip-hop, alt-rock, and melodic pop into radio-ready hybrids, this release is a project that trades polish for punch and hesitation for heat. Produced by ska-punk mainstay John Feldmann , the record crackles with Warped Tour energy. Ska horns collide with

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Jessica Steddom Some breakups sting while others just confirm what you already knew. On Death & Taxes , Nashville trio Just Jayne skip the tears and go straight for the smirk. The new single pairs three-part harmonies with razor-sharp lyricism, flipping post-breakup blues into a confident prediction. As inevitable as sunrise, as unavoidable as the IRS... he’ll be back. Comprised of Taylor Edwards, Jillian Steele, and Rachel Wiggins , the all

Written By: Big C Trousdale aren’t interested in shrinking their sound. The Los Angeles trio announce on May 15, Growing Pains Deluxe will arrive. The deluxe edition layers in new material and reimagined favorites, joined by collaborators including Rachael Price  of Lake Street Dive , Tors, Ken Yates, and HAFFWAY . Alongside the announcement, Trousdale unveil a towering rendition of Neil Young ’s Old Man . A song about aging, perspective, and shared human longing now pass

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Lindsay Hicks Silence can feel radical. In a culture engineered for velocity and volume, choosing restraint becomes its own rebellion. On his 23rd studio album Future Quiet , Moby steps away from bombast and into something meditative with fourteen tracks shaped by piano minimalism, ambient architecture, and carefully placed vocals. Where earlier eras chased rave euphoria or widescreen catharsis, this record breathes. It reflects the tension be

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Hailey Jane Sometimes confidence isn’t inherited, it’s rehearsed in the mirror. Colorado’s Jesus Christ Taxi Driver return with Lana Del Rey , a snarling, unfiltered anthem that treats self-belief like a ritual. The track doesn’t politely reference Lana Del Rey, it invokes her by repeating "I’m Lana Del Rey" like a mantra. The band leans into the mythology of artistic certainty, using her persona as a symbolic North Star for resilience under s

Written By: Big C A voice like Nina Simone ’s does not fade. It reshapes rooms long after the recording light goes dark. In celebration of her birthday, Tumbao Experience unveils Love Me Or Leave Me , a bold cultural re-contextualization that places Simone’s original vocal inside a lush Afro-Cuban jazz framework. It is a remix not designed for novelty, but instead it’s a dialogue of her unmistakable phrasing now carried by tumbao rhythms, brass flourishes, and percussive text

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Nick Walker Some artists write about pain, but Iris Copperman studies it and then responds with grace. At just 14 years old, the Nashville-based singer/songwriter steps into difficult terrain with Bully , a piano-led ballad that refuses retaliation. Instead of firing back, she asks a harder question: Who hurt you?  The track swells with layered vocals, strings, and percussion that lift the message beyond teenage heartbreak into universal refle

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Makayla Keasler Memory doesn’t knock politely. It seeps under the door, rearranges the furniture, and dares you to sit back down. On her sophomore album We Swallowed The Sky , Beatrix returns to a past love not to romanticize it, but to examine its afterimage. A pedal steel threads through the project like a phantom limb, binding past and present into one continuous ache. Where earlier work wrestled with being misunderstood, this collection fe

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Luke Ivanovich Bands can arrive with influence or identity. MX Lonely feels like a rupture of both. On their debut album ALL MONSTERS , the New York four-piece carve out a sound which refuses tidy classification. If the ‘90s birthed angular indie and bruised grunge confessionals, MX Lonely stretch those bones into something contemporary, urgent, and entirely their own. Across eight self-recorded tracks, cavernous guitars scrape against soaring

Written By: Big C Sometimes balance isn’t symmetry, it’s survival. A tremor meets a tremor and suddenly there’s steadiness. On the reimagined Unsteady , Calum Scott invites Aitch into a song that already feels intimate and elevates its emotional gravity into so. What was once a vulnerable confession becomes a dialogue between two imperfect people admitting they don’t need fixing, just understanding. Before landing softly on the realization that love doesn’t demand polish. A

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Yulissa Benitez The chords don’t rise they reverse. On Unwind , guitars smear backward into themselves, distortion folding like time collapsing in slow motion. Glixen take shoegaze’s familiar density and stretch it into something gravitational, where even the pulse seems to loosen its grip and drift. What makes "Unwind" striking is its push-and-pull sonic architecture erosion. As Glixen expand their sonic universe, bandleader Aislinn Ritchie

Written By: Big C Somewhere between Hollywood myth and internet rumor, Wonderful  begins. On their first fully independent full-length album, skaiwater releases an architect to the universe. Eighteen tracks unrwavel like scenes from a warped film, toggling between alt-rap urgency and R&B introspection while interrogating media manipulation, programming, and cultural spectacle. Entirely self-directed and self-mixed, "Wonderful" signals control at every level. skaiwater descri

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Shervin Lainez Dust hangs in the studio air and someone laughs off camera. With the official video for Unicorn , Rio Kosta step away from polishisness to pull back the curtain on the soft-focus world which shaped their debut. The result is a love letter to process, the quiet rhythm of their HQ in motion. Directed by longtime collaborator Zack Mizurik , the visual weaves together flickering studio footage and golden Los Angeles afternoons. The

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Jon Alan Sometimes the air feels heavier than it should. On Anna , John-Robert suspends a single moment in time within the fragile space of confession and consequence. The new single moves as a love song built on the quiet tension of waiting to hear if the feeling is mutual. Produced by Torna , “Anna” leans into clean guitar lines and patient atmosphere, allowing John-Robert’s voice, equal parts Appalachian warmth and West Coast polish, to ca

Written By: Big C Spotlights flare against a towering Statue of Liberty and the crowd begins to roars. MGK lifts off with the official video for starman . This time transforming an arena-scale production into something strangely personal, reframing fear and escapism as fuel rather than flaw. Directed by long time collaborator Sam Cahill , the visual features live tour footage into the narrative, using the massive stage set from the ongoing lost americana run as both backdrop

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Antoon Corvijn Ash falls before renewal. With Days Of Ash , U2 releases an album preview with a standalone EP. The release is further framed by the revival of Propaganda , the band’s iconic fan magazine, returning as a special one-off edition titled Six Postcards From The Present… Wish We Weren’t Here . Carrying songs of defiance, lamentation, and uneasy hope, six pieces written in response to a world that refuses to sit still. The band turn t

Written By: Big C Photo Credit: Luke Ivanovich Suddenly, numbness has a pulse. Brooklyn trio Ringing turn frustration into force, pushing their soft-loud dynamics to a breaking point. Feeling both suffocating and strangely liberating, the track descends, spiraling through distortion before detonating into metallic eruption. The official visuals mirror that collapse and clarity, chronicling a fall into apathy before the moment of decision that shifts everything. Bandleader Co
