Added to the Radio 1 playlist today!

After breaking through-ish with 2021's fantastic 'GLOW ON', Turnstile are back with new album 'NEVER ENOUGH' on 6th June! The title track lead single released a few days ago and while decent, does sound a little too derivative of their last album for me to love really:

A quarter of the year has passed us now so it's time for the first round of the Indie/Rock Track of the Year! Taking the winners from Week 1 to Week 13 simply vote for your THREE favourites to proceed to the final stage. The five songs with the most votes will proceed to the grand final.

They're back!! New album 'More' is out on 6th June, lead single 'Spike Island' is out now:

Charli's a co-writer on it!

'Swoon' and yesterday's 'Happier' have released in recent months:

One of their best, and they were incredible live when I saw them live last year too. They did 5 songs off this album, which is pretty good for a festival setlist. 'Smash It Like Belushi' actually released yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FimVYEK7xPw

A deluxe version is out on 23rd May! New songs: Smash It Like Belushi f*** Off Ballyhoo Underdog Stay Young Suzie Chapstick (Acoustic) Father to a Son (Acoustic)

It's fine, more of the same really! Hopefully it'll grow.

Arcade Fire have just announced that new single 'Pink Elephant' is out on 9th May! Lead single 'Year of the Snake' is out now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpYapWU--JA

'Night After Night' was Radio 1's Hottest Record yesterday:

Very strong for Sleep Token!

Had no idea the Stereophonics one was a cover until now!

This is what Adam said last year about their new music: "We're definitely making new music and the cool thing is that I really, after, I don't know, 13, 12, 13 years of doing co-writes, I finally have shut everybody out and it's just me and the band making the songs, so there's no more of that. It's like I feel like the floodgates have kind of just opened again and it's crazy because if I had been writing up until now on my own, I might not feel the same way and might not have poured out. There's so much creativity kind of pouring out right now, so I feel like I'm in a pretty amazing spot."

Adam Levine confirmed on The Tonight Show that a new Maroon 5 song will release by the end of the month, with a new album this summer.

They're back! New single 'othello' is out tomorrow. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIJrBcQorBw/?hl=en

Saved this week: BigXthaPlug (feat.

I see folk band Amble have 9 songs in the Spotify Ireland Top 200 today! Would be great to see them breakthrough in the UK too. I noticed one of their songs was in the UK viral chart recently.

Wet Leg HAIM Sleep Token Djo BABYMETAL The Marias The Hives Rachel Chinouriri I really like them all though tbh!

Really enjoying the new single, always enjoy this Sheryl Crow-ish soft Americana from them.

It is what it is really though, I don't think a song like this is ever going to be consumed much outside of the band's fanbase.

Seems suspect to me - there's been no rise in the song's last.fm stats + its not even in her top 10 most popular currently on Spotify.
