Introducing the latest songwriting showcase from Martin Lucassen. Sonic Pulse Project utilises contemporary AI vocals to elevate a piano-led arrangement of songs and poetic lyricism, blending pop and rock across an evocative collection of nostalgic reflections.
Pop Rock
Atmospheric rock with mildly warped layers of psychedelic expression. Stories that seem simple but hold a wealth of complex feelings and reflections – an easy going sway of a vibe regardless. Wilson Arms capture the sound of something timeless, with their creative album Heroes and Hangmen.
An ambient soft rock realm – distinct but gentle guitar riffs and clear sense of rising anticipation. Lana Crow carves out a nostalgic indie arena of sound and expression, with the depth and intention of Your Mini Me.

Standing tall on the back of a brand new album, a two-track single release, and another upcoming album, DownTown Mystic continue to provide a solid example of the importance and value of uniting creativity, passion, and work ethic, in order to build a strong and growing audience.
Time for something completely engaging, entertaining and thoughtful, with vocals and lyrics that naturally soothe. Outback Stormchasers are an elusive and impressive indie band, and Famous Last Words in the Multiverse is a genuine gem of an album for the year ahead.
