Albums
Striking blues-rock with a crisp and gritty guitar riff, and low-toned, sultry male vocals – Vince Robson captures story and vibe with style, as the mighty Desire introduces the memorable and well-titled album Movie Soundtracks to Non-Existent Movies.
Fearlessly expressive alternative music, driven by tempo and topic in unison – Leosatman blends dubstep, house, and drum and bass, with post-punk vocal stories and segments designed to add shock factor and substance to the realm.

For Everyone I Ever Loved is a collection of soulful acoustic ballads and folk-country anthems, all built around thoughtful sentiments, appreciative scenes, memories, poems, and deeply stirring melodies.

Explosive rock and metal blending hard distortion, power chords, fast riffs and melodic vocals – eighties influenced duo Dan Wande and Tomas Ylivainio deliver fierce metal escapism that’s both organic and immersive at its peak.
With Zkrrt’s previous albums, there was something of a new-starter vibe to many of the pop-like arrangements and songwriting transitions. In my view, this latest project has completely overcome that, showcasing a defiant attention to detail and mood that’s intoxicating from one track to the next. The original style and inspiration remains, the reasons for making music stand tall, but the focus, the understanding, and the willingness to move an audience, have only let the style and sound grow stronger and more alluring.
Sensational indie jams, slick guitar playing and soulful grooves – summer-night saxophone and a generally impressive fusion of excitement and colourful calm.

Soaring metal riffs and superb production guides us into the soulful soundscapes and songs of one-man-band Aaron Newsome – known to the streaming platforms as ServanT of 1.
