The greatest hits album is being released by Interscope, the label the band just left - so I don’t expect them to promote it at all.

New album 'Everyone's Talking!' is out on 17th October: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ta4xdw5wwo

Here it is!

'Legalize Living' released a couple of days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqCV7wR-pmM

Daisies leaked a while ago. I can’t find it now, but it’s apparently produced by Mk.gee. He’s known for 80s Police-style music, so I don’t expect it to all be trap stuff at least.

Pretty good! One of their strongest guitar riffs in this one. It’s a shame they fell off so much after album 2 really. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole the other day about it. They had loads of money spent on advertising after their debut single released in 2015 by management, which led to them selling out Brixton Academy in less than a year. Ally Pally was supposed to follow in 2018, before they suddenly split from management and the tour was cancelled. They’re signed with new management, but just couldn’t recreate the advertisement targeting. According to their manager, they had the O2 Arena booked for 2019 before that happened! What could’ve been…

It was released at the end of 2019, so 5 and a half years now. Not quite 'back in the day' I agree though!

Last day to vote!

Also a new peak for Black Sabbath's Paranoid today at #122!

True - they do seem to be getting better with that though. I just wouldn't be surprised if INK have a Sleep Token/Bad Omens-like rise in the next few years. Here it is! Glad they seem to be moving away from the horror-inspired songs, I was getting a little tired of it.

New single 'Suburbs' released yesterday, with a debut album announced! 'Blue Sky Mentality' is out on 26th September. Tracklist: Keep It Up Skipping Stones Ripple found u/me Walk Walk Walk Kids Can't Sleep Home Small Town Starry Eyed People Need People Left Hand Man Suburbs Wonderful Life The Buzz

'vampire diaries' is out on Friday - big Tickets To My Downfall vibes from this one!: https://www.tiktok.com/@mgk/video/7524075304441138462

'Cherry Bomb' released yesterday - 'Death & Love' in full is out on 24th October!

New single out on Friday!

Pretty quick follow up! 'The Weather' is out on Friday.

Out now! Definitely my favourite of the two, although Cutthroat has grown on me:

Remember Monday will release their first post-Eurovision single on 25th July:

More votes please!

+5: Sapphire +4: Survive +3: Ordinary +2: Manchild +1: Victory Lap -1: Pink Pony Club -2: Blessings -3: Love Me Not -4: Family Matters -5: Dior

Their new single is 'Hide & Seek', guessing it's out on Friday. Their visuals so far remind me a lot of The 1975's Notes On a Conditional Form.

A new Ice Nine Kills single is out later today! They seem to be getting bigger and bigger, playing arenas in the UK for the first time soon, so hopefully their upward trajectory continues. I can really see them headlining Download a few years from now.

I've seen her booked for way more Pride events this year than I expected! She's even doing a Butlins 2000s Weekender early next year 😂 Not quite the right decade, but there we are.

Thanks Wardy - was busy this weekend so was going to get it up today!

The Hunna are back! I always look forward to new music from them. https://www.instagram.com/thehunnaband/reel/DLw25hGoq5I/
