Knflct returns, the organic chaos of an elusive artist with a level of creative freedom and intention that stops you in your tracks. This two-track release entitled Oh… is as stylistically raw and carefree as its title implies, but it also employs both a colourful and distorted production, to elevate a simple, descending melody, and self-reflective sentiments that feel scornful but empowering.
From the EP of the same name, SOMETIMES I FEEL introduces the melodic and introspective artistry of Sollars in a way that’s both evocative and catchy.
You have to hear it to know how it feels – words can’t really convey. This song has the alt-folk beauty and pop warmth of some of history’s classic, unpredictable hits. Something like Ben Howard’s Keep Your Head Up, an alt-folk legend lifting the mood; this time somehow both catchy and not. Calling For Change is soulful, to repeat that truth again. It’s yearning, mellow then emotionally desperate in its outcry, and the set-up furthers this, with modest guitar solo moments and a huge crescendo at the end.
US rocker and lifelong musician DownTown Mystic pays tribute this season to the legendary Bruce Springsteen E Street Band, with this collaborative two-side single release Hard Enough (Remix) – from the upcoming full-length album.
Taking inspiration perhaps from the more evocative and low-tempo hits from Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen, Bob Berdanier keeps the authenticity of great songwriting and natural performance alive and well, and December is, in my view, one of his most engaging and memorable singles yet.

Taking the time to actually feel the music, to feel something real, absorb it, and begin playing only when the mood intends. Alasdair Hames Dodds is refreshingly genuine when it comes to piano composition, and Disillusionment is an initially simple but ultimately striking ode to that truth.
An instantly distinct melody captures attention from the outset, as British-born composer and musician Peter Dulborough introduces the refreshingly recognisable, unique nuance and journey of William.
New York based composer, pianist and doctor Esmond Rubinov has achieved noteworthy successes with single projects over the years, but now returns to the bare essentials of composition, with the highly-anticipated launch of his debut album The Year After.
Maryland-based award-winning composer and visual artist Rahul Mukerji has become renowned for his unique fusion of world music, rock, jazz and cinematic sound design. The India-born creative notes over two decades of experience immersed in music, and as such, his balancing of unique artistry and skilful wisdom shines brightly.
It’s a huge month for indie’s iconic post-hardcore anime legend Boy Hero – the voice of a generation, one of the most outstanding live performers of the current rock era. Boy Hero has lined up some powerful shows for the start of 2026, and this coming week’s set at the one and only Knucklehead Hollywood … Continued
