Sensational new music from alt-metal band A Million Little Fires hits this season in the form of a highly-anticipated full-length album. Violent Halos is as conceptually profound and gritty as its title and artwork suggest, and the opening track alone sets the bar exceedingly high.
Music
Stylish alt-country rock with stunning vocals and a generally cool sense of authenticity to its story, performance, and groove. Jo-Jo & The Teeth keep things slick and satisfying, with the distorted original charm and impassioned chorus of Whiskey Dreams.
Hazy indie ambiance to gritty alternative rock – a personal outpouring of scornful regret and reflection, blending singer-songwriter honesty with the full force of an anthemic alternative hit.

Established producer and songwriter IurisEkero highlights the very best of his emotionally loaded and intricate pop songwriting, with the bold and beautiful ballad It Wasn’t Because of You.
As a pathway into the project, Hud’n Seek is both adorable and fiercely hard-hitting, a quirky tribal dance tune with an unforgiving bassline and beat, some careful, skilling panning and layer-building, and an essential twist of rising anticipation from the toddler who inspired this whole new venture.
Organic folk and country love songs and stories, acoustically rooted but ambiently enhanced by modern AI production tools – Jon & Emma Lloyd Palmer is a full-length album of original songs, written by Patrick Benson, across four decades of life experience.
Personally their most impactful single to date – a stylish and catchy rock and roll anthem, with an underlying conceptual depth that’s poignant and powerful. DownTown Mystic top off a sincere and stylish repertoire, with the uplifting and confrontational new gem of a hit Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody.
Smooth and soulful creativity, an artistic ensemble united in their subtlety and substance. Cathartika lead with slick riffs and boldly confronting humanity, for singles like the rather sublime, heartbroken and searching desperation of Happiness.
