Curated by Monk

So, here we are, pummelling and pounding our way through another month of quality releases to bring you our latest pick of the hottest sounds that have been battering and tickling our eardrums over the past week. But, why waste inane and needless words… let’s dive straight into this week’s playlist, shall we?

Around 7 ‘Ashes’ (Self-Released)

Bicycle Inn ‘Longsword (4th Place)’ (Self-Released)

The Boston emos proves that it takes more than a couple of years of recorded silence to turn down their obsession with all things GoT/LoTR-esque, with this thematic continuation of their 2022 sophomore EP:

Coach Party ‘Disco Dream’ (Chess Club Records)

The alt-rock quartet are taking to the dancefloor with this collaboration with Black Honey, the third appetizer from their upcoming new album, which will see us lapping up some ‘Caramel’ on its release at the end of the month:

Glasgow Kiss ‘Those Wasted Years’ (Eclipse Records)

We’ve actually moved from Scotland, as this Norwegian alt-metal mob treat us to the first sample of their new album, which hopefully won’t see them shot ‘Down In Flames’ when it is released in December:

Half Dizzy ‘Easton’ (Punkerton Records)

These Long Island skate punks are in retrospective mood for this latest standalone offering, and hopefully their retrospection also involves forward planning with a full album in the pipeline?

The Brighton emo/alt/post-hardcore duo love their lower-case titles, but things are very definitely on the up and up with this, their fourth single offering:
