The UK’s own, bringing back the ferocity and riffs of classic, timeless rock – Canada Hill energise the space in an instant, with the relentless tempo, raw distortion and anthemic chorus of voices that make up Hit!
UK--Europe
Unafraid to go-there experimentally as an artist, Stephan Folkes adopts a playful and limitless creative angle with music. His sound is not traditionally satisfying, but his voice, in both tone and songwriting, is undeniably recognisable from one release to the next, and there’s a lot to be said for artistic integrity.
Sometimes collaboration is the key to finding that sound or artistic moment that connects more strongly with a broader audience – no longer something exclusively personal to the performer, but bridging the gap to realise that actually, these ideas and feelings are relatable, and the music is impressively original and impassioned enough to hit with impact.
Evocatively reflecting on the unconditional love we get from and give to our pets – the wonderful degree of joy, the memories, friendship, and the inevitable pain of losing them – Canadian songwriter Martin Gladstone crafts a timeless folk-pop ode for any and all pet-lovers, with the beautifully hopeful Over The Rainbow Bridge.
The UK’s own Harrison Rimmer reignites the short lines and upbeat energy of pop-rock from a simpler time. Ripped Up Magazine feels like a slept-on single from the likes of Goo Goo Dolls, but it also quickly injects its own sense of clear identity and feeling, and this becomes a true quality of the Harrison Rimmer sound and style.
Soulful pop-rock with stunning vocals, a poetic songwriting thread and catchy melodies, organic grooves – a touch of harmonised wonder to light up the bigger moments. MCVEIGH capture a lane somewhere between the likes of Sam Fender and Nothing But Thieves, with The Thief Of Leaving.
Genre-fusion and quirky storytelling, a hearty dose of intention and some stylish free-playing – an eclectic album, inspired by all things jazz, rock, country. Paul Cann’s latest album feels like an uninhibited ode to creative freedom, and celebrates the joy of that from start to finish.
Acoustic beginnings lay down an organic festival vibe, as singer and songwriter Freddy Even delivers a catchy anthem of an indie track – and one that seems perfectly well-suited to the incoming summer season.
Heavy thrash metal with a fine balancing of the creative freedom to play and the conceptual, atmospheric intention of a bigger project – Ankoth delivers a deadly force of intense metal pace and weight, with the unmistakable Danu’s Decline.
Creatively bringing together a timeless synth and dance-pop arrangement, with deeply personal lyrics and a boldly distinct vocal sound – Revived Echoes delivers a poetically complex ode to romantic longing, with Hypnotised.
UK songwriter and artist DiElle captures the essence of introspective songwriting, uniting thoughts of adventure, travel and storytelling, throughout the reflective and uplifting folk-pop collection that is Atlas.
Ecstasy is the brand new single from the genre-fusing artist and songwriter, and it features a fully-loaded electro-pop production, and fast-paced lyrics that pour through with rightful passion and euphoria as the track rolls along.
