New to the post-punk genre is Halloween‘s newest single, Poison Well, which is equally as haunting as their band name. The composition of this track is brilliantly infectious, creatively moving around the melody with expressive and unique chord progressions. Performing these melodies are the electric guitars, which layer each other with riffs and rhythms.
The vocals are rich in deep and enchanting tones, bringing you into the soul-stirring atmosphere. The song finishes with an intense energy that mesmerizes your ears. This track is the first single release on their debut album, coming out in early August, called Spiral Staircase.

Next, another track that caught our attention is from HYOKOH, titled Flat Dog. From Korea, this band brings a unique perspective to indie-rock. This track is full of electrifying guitar melodies, dancing around different tones and effects, creating a soundscape with intent. The vocals effectively accent the rhythms of the instrumental, which in turn enhance each other.
Along with the visionary composition of the instrumental are the equally exciting vocal harmonies, which bring a layer of brightness to the track, leaving your ears with a well-rounded sound. This track is from their most recent album release, AAA, which has recently been followed up with a live album version. There, you can listen to many of their other inventive songs.

Brought by Fatcat Records is Midnight Rodeo‘s newest single, Cleanshirt, which made a strong impression on us with its intoxicating beat. This band brings out their artistic side with minor chords and arpeggios in the electric guitar. Matching harmoniously are the vocals, which consist of a layered main female vocal and a masculine vocal, a vibrant, lovable contrast.
This band’s music is similar to artists like St. Vincent and Talking Heads, bringing a similar, unique, artistic approach to indie rock music. Cleanshirt is one of the few single releases that anticipated their newest album, Chaos Era. This band celebrates its charming weirdness through its music, bringing you joy and rich soundscapes.

Steel Caps by Special Guest completely enthralled us, building an engaging atmosphere of an unpredictable, playful sonic environment, brought to life through eclectic guitar melodies and fun sound effects that buzz in your ears. Its groundbreaking aesthetic wouldn’t be complete without the vocalist, who approaches you with an ecstatic, speak-talk portrayal of the song’s inspiring lyrics.
You’ll connect with this track heavily if you love artists like Blur and Ramones. Describing themselves as “noise-rock,” this band will have you riding a groovy soundwave of surrealness. You can’t help but find comfort in the chaos of their instrumentation. This single is the second release of theirs, after their debut single, Strangers. You don’t want to miss this trailblazing band.
