Two worlds collide convincingly on Drowning, the new single from Roach. The singer embraces two polar sensibilities, blending the dreamy affect of The Cranberries with the disaffected nature of indie punk. It’s gorgeous contrast and it works effectively within this Alvvays, Hop Along style composition. Check it out.

SKORTS grabbed our attention with the energetic post punk polarity of their exciting new single Eat Your Heart Out. SKORTS find a way to have it both ways, embracing the catchy candid nature of The Go-Go’s and the robust fury of Mannequin Pussy equally.
The band is tight and and the vocal performances are emphatic, with convincing yelps and a rapid trembling vibrato that feels untamed and a product of the process. That process being their mantra to leave everything on stage, or in this case on tape. We love it.

A collage of imagery adds metaphorical insight into the dark energy that founded Rot, the new single from Taxidermy. The video amplifies the vibe of their music and honors its progressive complexities.
There’s a lot of depth and dynamic interlaced between portraits of a tortured soul. The director elegantly finds fury inside and outside, like how a shot of a burning candle illuminates a sonic outburst. The rapid cuts recall the hypnotic crisis in Clockwork orange or the classic art film era of Jean-Luc Goddard. An art film music video, we can dig it. Enter at your own risk.

SUB*T caught our attention with the video for their new single Unearthly. Elements of the occult and paranormal suit the bands classic grunge tendencies. Opening with a low brooding vocal and a haunting statement the video evolves creepily.
Classic psychedelia gets blended into this horror aesthetic in a way that cites hard rocks early seventies Satanic imagery. The video is really intriguing and the songs a new rock hit in the vein of Bully, Veruca Salt, and Garbage.
