FOLLOWAY – In My Mind
“Building a Movement with Nostalgic Indie Pop Rhythms”
With a sentimental touch and a modern indie pop sensibility, FOLLOWAY steps into the spotlight with his debut single, “In My Mind.” Fusing alternative rock’s raw energy with indie pop’s melodic warmth, the track paints an emotive landscape of long-distance love — a stark reflection of emotional distance interlaced with heartfelt memories. A personal story cast in vintage soundscapes, “In My Mind” is captured through vintage tube amps and classic mics, enriching it with layers of analog warmth.
FOLLOWAY’s ambitious launch strategy unfolds in a meticulously crafted world of rich visuals and evocative soundscapes. Accompanied by a cinematic music video shot across the diverse terrains of Turkey and the UK, the storytelling transcends auditory experiences, weaving the contrast between isolation and connection.
Far from a mere single release, FOLLOWAY envisions a movement. With plans for new releases, dynamic London performances, and digital engagement, this independent artist is a fresh voice beckoning listeners to explore more than music — but an entire state of being. This is only the start; FOLLOWAY’s journey is just beginning.
The Zangwills – Beers With The Beekeeper
A Sweet Sting of Alternative Rock Bliss: The Zangwills’ “Beers With The Beekeeper” Buzzes In
There is a certain magic to the kind of camaraderie that blooms inside the warm, welcoming confines of a local pub. It’s here where The Zangwills, a rising force in the alternative rock scene from the Northwest UK, find the inspiration for their new feel-good summer single, “Beers With The Beekeeper.”
This track captures the essence of unexpected yet soul-stirring exchanges with older regulars—those unlikely friendships where conversation flows unencumbered by the weight of judgment. With a weaving melody and vibrant instrumentation, the single is a reflection on the therapeutic nature of conversation, evoking golden afternoons spent in loose, sunlit company where stories are exchanged and life’s tribulations are eased with laughter and understanding.
Frontman Jake leads us through lyrics grounded in delightful duality, painting a picture with lines that evoke being “stung by love,” crafting a metaphorical dance that suggests deeper meanings hidden beneath carefree conversation.
“Beers With The Beekeeper” effortlessly wraps these themes in the buoyant sound The Zangwills are known for, ensuring it resonates long after the final note has played.
9 o’clock Nasty – Peacekeeper
Rebel Against the Countdown: 9 o’clock Nasty’s Ode to Resilience
Leicester’s own genre-busting art rock trio, 9 o’clock Nasty, is back with a bang in their latest single “Peacekeeper”. Known for blending various influences into a fiercely original sound, Pete Brock, Ted Pepper, and Sydd Spudd channel intense garage-rock roots in their electrifying new release. Employing visceral lyrics—“Every breath you take. Breathe in the hate. Choke on it. Break free”—the band confronts a world increasingly polarized by radicals and division. “Peacekeeper” isn’t just a track; it’s a raucous anthem for those who feel the oppressive tick-tock of societal countdowns, urging listeners to brace themselves.
This second offering from the forthcoming LP “Chaos” continues 9 o’clock Nasty’s tradition of creating music that is both reflective and provocative. With an art rock edge and refusal to conform, they remain a beacon of innovation in the UK’s contemporary punk scene—ready for battle, but advocating for peace.
Miller Tracy – Love Is Adamant
Love’s Unyielding Pulse: A New Chapter for Miller Tracy
Miller Tracy‘s latest single, “Love Is Adamant,” is a visceral sonic rollercoaster, encapsulating the fierce emotions of a toxic love you can’t escape. Serving as a cathartic follow-up to “Creature Comfort,” this track is not just a musical experience—it’s a statement of persistence against destructive passion. With the collaboration of Ben Tanner from Alabama Shakes and the Nashville rockers The Prescriptions, the single encapsulates garage rock’s raw energy with elements of emotional grit. Tracy’s distinctive blend of distorted guitars and pounding drums sets the stage for his expressive raw vocals.
Tracy’s transformation from competitive swimmer to musical innovator is itself a narrative of reinvention. Drawn from the depths of blues legends and modern rock influences, his journey continues to resonate through his evocative storytelling. As “Love Is Adamant” prepares to drop on June 13th, listeners can expect nothing less than a fiercely dynamic showcase of Miller Tracy’s relentless artistic spirit.
Adam Tilzer – Cult Leader
A Mosaic of Experimental Rock: Adam Tilzer’s Cult Leader
In his debut solo album Cult Leader, Adam Tilzer channels decades of alt-rock pop experiences, from opening for giants like George Clinton to fronting bands like Avon Junkies and The Defectives. The album is both a personal manifesto and a collaborative celebration, coinciding with Tilzer’s 40th birthday. “I guess I’ve started a cult,” Tilzer muses, emphasizing the community of musicians that surrounds him—over two dozen of whom contributed to this project.
Tilzer’s sound is a dynamic tapestry, woven from his influences like Pink Floyd and Leonard Cohen, all converging into a diverse experimental rock with punk nuances. The album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a bold dialogue about societal injustices, woven with personal reflections. Tracks like “My Man” and “The Best Fucking Plan” are fearless in their discourse. As Tilzer puts it, “It can be angry and aggressive…I’m calling out injustices and questioning everything.”
Cult Leader thus stands as an audacious and heartfelt exploration of modern existence through music, drawing listeners into an intricate web of shared human experiences.
