nazire – ‘leech’
Istanbul-based shoegaze artist nazire released one of my favourite tracks of 2025 – ‘junebug’ – so I’m thrilled that she’s back with new music. This single ‘leech’ is inspired by a dubious friendship and the delayed and prolonged reaction she had to being mistreated by someone she trusted. Her blend of electronic and organic instrumentation and textures reflects these feelings, with her layering of distortion, reverb-heavy riffs and fluctuating vocal styles all culminating into a cathartic, healing cacophony that sees her move past the hurt. ‘leech’ is lifted from nazire’s upcoming debut album, Glitchfolk, which is set for release later this year. I can’t wait to hear it in full.

Dogviolet – ‘Daughter’
The latest single from long-time favourites Dogviolet, ‘Daughter’ offers a cathartic reflection on the responsibilities often felt by the eldest daughter in a family. Always a highlight of their live set, its fierce energy propels Naz’s spellbinding rich vocals to the fore, showcasing the visceral splendour this band consistently create. Talking about the track, Naz explains: “When you’re in the throes of your perceived duties as an eldest daughter, you become delusional. Like believing you’re the sun and water for your family… And so you keep smiling and justify the chronic anxiety, exhaustion and constant choosing between your happiness and theirs.”

Grandmas House – ‘The Table’
GIHE faves Grandmas House are back with another excellent new single. Lifted from their upcoming debut album, Baby You’re A Winner, set for release on 21st August via Brace Yourself Records, ‘The Table’ is a raw reflection on both a failed relationship and the bands’ own experiences of being women in the music industry. Lead by Yasmin Berndt’s distinctive vocals, it’s a potent blend of brooding riffs and driving beats, providing an impressive insight to what we can expect from the band’s debut LP. Grandmas House have also announced a UK & EU tour to support their debut LP. Dates & ticket info here. (KC)

Theatre – ‘Messiah’
Irish five-piece THEATRE are part of a wave of extraordinary Irish acts redefining what the country’s music scene looks like right now (NewDad, Gurriers, Mhaol) and they slot into that company with ease. Recently releasing their debut EP, Incarnate, they’ve showcased their ability to create ethereal, defiant anthems with a brooding atmosphere. Taken from the EP, psych-tinged ‘Messiah’ builds tension through tuning and detuning that creates a constant sense of unease which then gives way to a shoegazy, slightly wonky bass groove, something that would not feel out of place beside early Björk-adjacent experimentalism.
(Ella Patenall – GIHE Contributor)

Shark School – ‘5AM’
Fuelled by a righteous anger, this track from Galway garage-punk trio Shark School is a heavy reflection on the trauma, exhaustion and grief triggered by sexual assault. The bands’ visceral vocals and charged, thundering riffs are a sonic push-back against this deep rooted sense of unrest, making ‘5AM’ an urgent and necessary anthem that cannot be ignored. ‘5AM’ features on Shark School’s debut album, Selachimorpha, available everywhere now. (KC)

Downtown Boys – ‘No Me Jodas’
Having been big fans of Rhode Island’s Downtown Boys‘ fierce industrial punk for a number of years, I was very excited about the release of their new album, Public Luxury, last week. Founding members Victoria Marie and Joey La Neve DeFrancesco let their political drive and desire for change seep into everything they release as a band, and this is certainly showcased in this resonant and powerful collection. Propelled forwards with an empowering drive and seething energy, its themes reflect a bold hope and determination that a better world is possible, whilst simultaneously raging against the horrors that continue to strip the rights of marginalised communities. A resonant retort against the powers that be; a colossal call to arms to unite, resist hopelessness and fight for change. Read about the five albums that inspire Downtown Boys the most in our Five Favourites feature with them. (ML)

Problem Patterns – ‘Bodies’
In the wake of the racist, violent arson attacks in Belfast earlier this month, local DIY punk band Problem Patterns were quick to condemn the vitriol stoked up by the people responsible and to encourage everyone to show support to the victims of the attacks too. In their own words, the GIHE favourites explain: “Belfast has just experienced an influx of horrendous, violent and unfathomable racist attacks on our community. We wrote a song called ‘Bodies’ that we feel is quite relevant right now. We have uploaded a demo of it to bandcamp to help raise funds, all proceeds will go to the anaka collective to raise money directly for those affected by the racist attacks.” Please give generously if you are able to. You can only listen to & download the track exclusively via Problem Patterns’ bandcamp page. (KC)

BIG|BRAVE – ‘an uttering of antipathy’
Deftly capturing the complexity of how it feels to exist in the uncertainty of today’s world, this track from Montréal/Berlin-based heavy trio BIG|BRAVE is a cauterizing sonic blend of unyielding, magnetic distortion and yearning vocals. It’s lifted from the band’s tenth album, in grief or in hope, which is a heavy record for heavy times, but ultimately underscored by intense empathy and a desire to explore and understand the binary oppositions of human nature. (KC)

Emma Ruth Rundle – ‘Powerless’
Inspired by her deeply humane reaction to the barrage of depressing global headlines and inequality on an unprecedented scale, multi-instrumentalist Emma Ruth Rundle penned this poignant track ‘Powerless’. It features on her upcoming sixth album, These Killing Times, which is set for release on 18th September via her own imprint Errant Child. The single is a stunning blend of Emma’s singular vocals and tender keys, that culminate into a thrilling rush of noisy riffs and crashing percussion, packing a cathartic aural punch. “This song – like most of the songs on These Killing Times – is a reaction to the horrors we are seeing laid bare on a daily basis,” Emma reveals. “With ‘Powerless’ – I invoke the hammer; both to destroy and to build something better. I want people to know they are not alone – they are not insane – I wanted to name the thing that has been causing me so much mental, emotional and spiritual anguish. Sometimes singing – especially repeating phrases – can work to fortify one’s self and I think that’s where the bridge of ‘Powerless’ comes in – I refuse to let my agency and resolve become corrupted or diluted by the powers that be and I want others to feel empowered too.” (KC)

Dose – ‘Consumed’
Informed by the dark undertones of narcissism and abuse in romantic relationships, ‘Consumed’ is the latest single from Dublin four-piece Dose. It’s taken from their debut EP, Sycophantic, which they recently released via Pizza Pizza Records. Dose’s skillful blending of hazy riffs, brooding beats and atmospheric synths gives the track its ominous aura, as they contrast the perspectives of the victim and the abuser in the lyrics. I’m a big fan of Dose and hope that they venture to the UK to play a live show soon. (KC)

Marina Yozora – ‘Snow Heat’
Japanese-born, London-based songwriter Marina Yozora explores duality and memory on her latest single ‘Snow Heat’. Lead by her delicate vocals and expanding into a full-band sound with layers of shimmering shoegaze riffs and echoing percussion, the track is a poignant rumination on a brief connection with someone that now exists only in Marina’s mind. To honour the intensity of this fleeting moment, Marina has shared a lyric video to accompany the single, with plans to reveal the official video for ‘Snow Heat’ exactly one year later on the track’s anniversary. (KC)

Penelope Trappes – ‘Sleep’ (Gazelle Twin & PRIZMA9 Rework)
Another extraordinary collaboration here from multi-disciplinary artist Penelope Trappes, featuring the inimitable Gazelle Twin and PRIZMA9. This version of ‘Sleep’ is included on Penelope’s latest LP, Opvs Novum: A Requiem Reworked, which expands on the concepts of death, grief and love that she originally explored on her poignant albums, A Requiem (2025) and Æternum (2025). It’s a twitchy, captivating listen, showcasing the idiosyncratic talents of the artists involved and providing further insight into the shape-shifting musical world that Penelope has nurtured with these eclectic albums. (KC)

Kee Avil – ‘beg’
An unflinching, cell-tingling offering from Montréal-based experimental artist and producer Kee Avil here. ‘beg’ is inspired by the “constant push and pull” of our inner monologues, which she explores through her twitchy vocals and glitchy electronics. Kee Avil has teamed up with NNA Tapes and is writing and recording her new album, Vapor, in real time – releasing the songs in chronological order over the next 12 months, with ‘beg’ being her third single. “My hope is that at the end, a natural cohesion appears,” she explains, “a concept reflecting a frozen moment in time, a process from start to finish.” (KC)

maehem99 – ‘Burn Your Wishes’
Another slice of dark, glitchy electronica from non-binary, Irish-South African artist maehem99 here. Taken from their recent EP, Sexual Commerce, ‘Burn Your Wishes’ was inspired by an experience they had with a partner during a trip to Taiwan, where they physically penned their wishes onto paper and set them alight on the night of the Lion’s Gate Portal – one of the most powerful events in the astrological calendar for manifestation. The ceremony didn’t quite go to plan, resulting in this sonic rumination which is permeated by maehem99’s melancholic lyrics and fluctuating beats. (KC)

Kat Five – ‘Emergency Start’
An electrifying rave-punk fuelled extravaganza, ‘Emergency Start’ from London genre-bending artist and producer Kat Five offers a beat-fuelled call to action to a world that desperately needs a shakeup. Championing art activism, and inspired by the Brian Eno-lead Hard Art Collective, it interweaves eclectic sonic elements, including an arsenal of emergency sounds and field recordings of clattering engines, to create a danceable, empowering ear worm. (ML)

ALT BLK ERA – ‘Our World’
Having completely blown us away when they played live for us at The Shacklewell Arms a few years back, Nottingham sibling duo ALT BLK ERA have since been carving out quite a name for themselves, receiving a MOBO award and appearing on Later With Jools Holland. They’ve just released a genre-blurring new EP, Our World, a fusion of immense soundscapes reflecting on devastating world events, alongside the importance of trying to find beauty amongst it all. They explain: “We want to highlight the significance of simple joys and acts of love as forms of resistance. This EP takes listeners from feelings of helplessness to a place of hope, reminding us that small acts of kindness truly matter.” (ML)

Catherine Moan – ‘No Magic’
This is a gorgeous slice of synth-pop from LA-based artist Catherine Moan. Lifted from her upcoming album, CM Ultra, due on 17th July via Born Losers Records, ‘No Magic’ is permeated by Catherine’s floaty vocals, buoyant synths and infectious beats. Despite its upbeat nature, the single is inspired by “spiritual coping mechanisms in the face of difficulty…about coming down to reality and accepting that there are things you can never change”. I’m a big fan of her bittersweet electronica and I’m looking forward to hearing Catherine’s new record in full. (KC)

Ibibio Sound Machine – ‘Concept Of Love’
Consistent purveyors of colourful afro-punk, London-Nigerian collective Ibibio Sound Machine are set to release a new album on 11th September. Ahead of its release, they’ve shared ‘Concept Of Love’. Made in reaction to an increasingly unstable world, it oozes their trademark infectious joyous energy and soulful spirit, offering a message of resistance and unity. (ML)

Kloyd ft. Tonguetied – ‘Everything (For You)’
A euphoric piece of electronica from Yorkshire-born, London-based producer Kloyd here. ‘Everything (For You)’ is taken from her brand new mixtape, New Love, released via Underplay x Anjunadeep earlier this month. Featuring the voice of Londoner Tonguetied and guitar from Duncan Grant (Kuleeangee), Kloyd has shared her most upbeat offering to date, providing listeners with a blissful mix of dancing beats and lilting vocals. (KC)

Mas Aya with Lido Pimienta – ‘Vamos Pa Lante’ (Edna Martinez Remix)
This wonderful collaboration between three eclectic artists features on Flowers Not Bombs, a compilation album released via our friends at independent label Beacon Sound. They have put together another thoughtful collection of songs to raise money for Palestinian mutual aid groups operating in Gaza, with the profits being donated to the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature, as well as the Palestinian Teacher Creativity Center. Flowers Not Bombs is available as a digital download and limited cassette exclusive to bandcamp. Please give generously if you are able to. (KC)

 

GOOD GRIEF – ‘Bait Shop’
Self-described as “if wet leg and boygenius had a sleepover [see: a bag of chips, prank calls and a couple of cries]”, I love this single from Seattle-based duo GOOD GRIEF. Bandmates Ella Scudder-Davis and Wendy Walcoff befriended each other in an online grief group after they both sadly lost their Dads. They decided to start making tunes together and ‘Bait Shop’ being their debut release. Inspired by a late night escapade at a local fish-themed dive bar, the track’s narrative centres around the residual affects of grief and how they can interrupt something as simple and fun as a date night. With their candid lyricism and buoyant riffs, GOOD GRIEF channel their despair and dissatisfaction into intensely relatable and uplifting alt-folk anthems. They’re currently working on their debut album, the aptly titled Not Over It, so keep your eyes peeled for more info about that in the near future! (KC)

Brennan Wedl – ‘Pretty Little Fantasy’
Having just announced the release of her eponymous new album in August, Nashville based artist Brennan Wedl has now shared the first taste of what’s to come. A message of personal power and gender expression, ‘Pretty Little Fantasy’ is propelled by a snarling energy as grunge-fuelled hooks provide the backdrop for Wedl’s fiercely raw, Sheryl Crow-reminiscent vocals. A perfect fusion of genres, creating a wonderfully self-labelled ‘grungetry’ sound, the album is co-produced by and features the musical talents of Katie Crutchfield (Waxahatchee) and Brad Cook (Bon Iver), as well as seeing appearances from Lindsey Jordan (Snail Mail), and more; a perfect testament to collaboration. (ML)

Maripool – ‘Crossing’
The latest single from Lisbon-born, London-based artist Maripool, ‘Crossing’ offers a gorgeous lilting emotion and fuzzy musicality, blending elements of shoegaze and stripped back indie to create something entirely of itself. The single’s taken from her upcoming debut album, Rotten Luck, an expansive and beautifully introspective collection reflecting on themes of identity and migration. Rotten Luck is set for release on 28th August via Lost Wisdom. (ML)

Argonaut – ‘Sugar Free’
With the recent release of their third album, Interrupted, London DIY legends and longtime faves Argonaut showcase their ability to reflect on poignant themes such as depression and burnout with a fuzzy, synth-driven allure and punk-fuelled spirit. We can’t wait for them to open our next gig, this Thursday 2nd July at The Cavendish Arms, supporting Breakup Haircut with Capsuna. Tickets are on DICE now and cheaper in advance! (ML)

Girl Apocrypha – ‘Thank God!’
Blending a playful charisma with a dark grunge-tinged sound, Brighton’s Girl Apocrypha released ‘Thank God!’ last month, following a captivating performance at The Great Escape. Rippling with a sweeping majesty and raw majesty, it showcases this new artist’s ability to create evocative genre-defying anthems. (ML)

The Black Wizards – ‘Loose’
Following the fierce power of recent single ‘Killing The Buzz’, Porto based ones to watch The Black Wizards are now back with another blues-tinged offering. “ A groovy wandering on anxiety thoughts and feeling trapped inside your own head”, ‘Loose’ showcases the band’s catch garage-rock swagger and relentless riff-heavy groove perfectly. A trippy dose of nostalgia with a fresh dark allure. (ML)

Read The Room – ‘Discipline’
Following fierce debut single ‘Phoenix’, and having delivered a fierce debut London gig for us at The Cavendish Arms a few months ago, Norwich rockers Read The Room are back with a brand new angst-driven offering. Reflecting on the personal feelings of guilt and frustration that can come with struggling with everyday tasks whilst being aware of the scrutiny the world is under right now, it offers a cathartic impassioned release of emotion. (ML)

Team Dresch – ‘One Song’
I remember first hearing Team Dresch; I think I was about nineteen and a friend who I lived with at uni had put ‘Fagetarian and Dyke’ on a mix CD for me, knowing that I loved Sleater Kinney. I was of course instantly intrigued; their raw, scuzzy, queer-tinged Riot Grrrl sound had me hooked, so to hear that they’ve just announced their first album in thirty years is pretty exciting! Our first taste of the album comes in the form of new single ‘One Song’ – “a love song to our young selves from our present selves. It’s a song of hope and power for all the young queers who are dragged into the struggle. It’s also a song for the elders who have built defenses from years of working and care-taking and being pounded by life.” Furthermore, the upcoming new album from Team Dresch, is out 18th September via Jealous Butcher. And, if that’s not exciting enough, they’ll be playing a special one-off headline show at The Lexington on 30th September! Tickets here. (ML)

Chuck SJ – ‘Ur Not My Mum’
Innovative artist and activist Chuck SJ has been a big favourite at Get In Her Ears for some time now, having played live for us on more than one occasion, including most recently supporting Irish queer punks Strange New Places at The Rossi Bar in Brighton. Now, continuing their development as an artist and organiser, they’ve introduced the Byenary record label: “A place for all those assigned flawed and miscreants at birth to find and create music that they can see themselves in. We support trans and queer artists to access and thrive in the music scene, focusing on analog physical music and community events.” To celebrate the record label’s launch, Chuck’s released an empowering new folk-punk anthem ‘Ur Not My Mum’. (ML)

Trash Panda Go Kart – ‘Happy When It Rains’
Self-described “power-twee lesbian raccoon-rock” Seattle band Trash Panda Go Kart may win the prize for best band name ever, and their music is pretty great too. Introducing themselves to our ears with a Jack Endino produced cover of the Garbage classic, ‘Happy When It Rains’, they’ve cemented themselves as firm favourites with their gritty, riff-heavy “cigarette-mom” sounds and top tier descriptions of their own music! (ML)

Tomboy Grandpa – ‘Anybodys’
Last month, twee queercore supergroup of dreams Tomboy Grandpa released their debut single ‘Anybodys’ and I couldn’t be happier about it. Featuring Healey from Fightmilk, Carl from adults and Jen Denitto from BCOS RSNS (amongst others!), the band’s incredibly cute repertoire focuses on songs inspired by queer characters in film, including The Meg and cult sapphic classic But I’m A Cheerleader. This first official single, however, offers a reflection on Anybodys from West Side Story – a character with hardly any lines, depicted as a tomboy in the original film and explicitly trans in the 2021 remake. Healey from the band explains: “I’ve loved this character since childhood and always felt robbed that they didn’t get a song of their own. So please picture this song happening right before Tony goes and has a big fight.” (ML)

BISHI – ‘Taboos Around The World’
Congratulations to British-Bengali multi-instrumentalist & composer BISHI on the release of her first original film soundtrack! She wrote the score for MAYA: The Birth of a Superhero, which is a 30 minute immersive VR animated film that forms part of Blood Speaks, an award-winning, law-changing multimedia project by activist Poulomi Basu, exploring menstrual exile and violence against women in South Asia. BISHI’s intuitive and eclectic instrumentation compliments Basu’s important vision, with this track ‘Taboos Around The World’ beautifully showcasing BISHI’s unique artistry. (KC)

Midori Jaeger – ‘Planted’
Initially introduced to Midori Jaeger when she played cello in Tanita Tikaram’s band at Royal Festival Hall last year, I’ve been such a fan of her debut EP, (Un)planted, since it came out in March. I’m now very much looking forward to her upcoming new collection, its predecessor’s counterpart – (Re)planted – in August. Taken from the EP, new single ‘Planted’ reflects on Midori’s personal experiences of migration after moving from the Japan to the UK as a child, before returning to Japan when she was sixteen. Alongside its lilting, syncopated cello melodies, her rich vocals soar with a raw emotion, creating a beautifully immersive soundscape. (Re)planted is out on 26th August. (ML)

Laura Misch – ‘Soften’
This gorgeous, lilting track is lifted from Laura Misch’s second album, Lithic, released via iconic label One Little Independent Records. ‘Soften’ is a tender ode to weathering the storm, both emotionally and geologically, and is inspired by the writings of Ruth Allen. Laura penned the track after visiting Bodmin Moor, which she explains further: “Featuring medieval symphonie, a hurdy-gurdy, droning beneath the surface, this song was partly inspired by a pilgrimage I made to the extraordinary giant balancing stones on Bodmin Moor, called the Cheesewrings. These granite rock formations are a natural geological phenomenon, their edges weathered into softened curves over time through the harshest of storms.” To celebrate the release of her new album, Laura will play her biggest headline show to date at London’s Barbican Centre on 3rd July. (KC)

Cinder Well – ‘While The Womb Screams Silently’
This poignant track from multi-instrumentalist Amelia Baker aka Cinder Well is inspired by the film Portrait of A Lady On Fire, directed by Céline Sciamma. Amelia was moved by the themes of patriarchal repression and control within the narrative and the idea of “listening to your inner knowing, which often screams loudly but is ignored for the sake of conforming”. She has personified these thoughts through tender keys and emotive lyricism on ‘While The Womb Screams Silently’, which is lifted from her upcoming album, A Blooming Body, due on 17th July via Hen House Studios. (KC)

Mother Church – ‘The Long Way Round’
An unlikely collaboration between a founding member of much-hyped London band HMLTD and an ordained reverend, Mother Church interweave theological themes and plainsong with elements of alternative folk and literary inspirations, offering an enthralling splendour and intrigue with all they create. Set to release their debut album in the Autumn, new single ‘The Long Way Round’ is an Adam and Eve inspired story of desire with references to Christina Rossetti’s gloriously sapphic poem, The Goblin Market. With its atmospheric folk-strewn musicality lilting alongside Gutteridge’s glistening celestial vocals and rich lyrical narrative, it’s a perfect glimpse into the captivating majesty of the world that Mother Church have created. (ML)

Will o’ The Whisperer – ‘Poison Ivy’
Scottish born, Netherlands-based non-binary DIY songwriter Will o’ The Whisperer penned ‘Poison Ivy’ as a protest anthem against the continuing rollback of trans rights. Their passion for protecting the trans community cuts through in their direct lyricism and impassioned vocals, carving out a sonic space for their siblings in the process. Speaking about ‘Poison Ivy’, Will o’ The Whisperer explains: “While this is a song filled with a lot of anger and righteous rage, it is a song that champions solidarity above everything…asking for togetherness against the rising tide of fascism.” (KC)

B Of Briz – ‘Avarice’
With a PHD in Philosophy, as well as having won the Future Sound Of Bristol aware in 2023, innovative Bristol rapper and producer B Of Briz prides themselves on combining their commitment to social justice and their love of hip-hop in all they create. Set to release their new album later this year, they’ve now shared new single ‘Avarice’, a fierce anthem propelled by deep beats and Briz’s resonant, timely and stirring poetic lyricism. A powerful and necessary commentary on society’s injustices reminiscent of the likes of Kae Tempest or The Streets. (ML)

Dose – ‘Shelley’
Loosely inspired by the pop culture myth of actress Shelley Duvall disappearing after she starred in cult horror flick The Shining, ‘Shelley’ is the latest single from Dublin four-piece Dose. It’s taken from their upcoming debut EP, Sycophantic, which they’ll be releasing later this year via Pizza Pizza Records. Dose’s skilful pairing of hazy riffs and ambiguous lyrics, alongside their striking visuals means they’re becoming firm favourites of mine. Directed by Aoife Spratt, the accompanying video for ‘Shelley’ acts as a spoof of Stanley Kubrick’s iconic ’80s film, shot across a handful of Irish locations, including The Ferrycarrig Hotel in Wexford, New Ross Arboretum and a Dublin hotel. Check it out below.
(Kate Crudgington – Features Editor)

Shy New World – ‘Fahrradtag’
A gloriously trippy new single from London duo Shy New World, ‘Fahrradtag’ means ‘bicycle day’ in German and it’s easy to imagine lots of bikes speeding through the city as the track’s colourful swirling haze ripples throughout.
(Mari Lane – Managing Editor)

Meg Elsier – ‘meaning of life’
The marvellous Meg Elsier is back with this deeply relatable new track, inspired by her ruminations on moving through periods of depression, negative thought spirals and trying to find purpose again. Her candid lyrics and reverb-heavy riffs make for cathartic listening, as she unravels her thoughts on finding meaning and reason in a world that often seems void of both. (KC)

Mad Honey – ‘Moshfeghian’
A swirling, slow-burning offering from Oklahoma City band Mad Honey here. ‘Moshfeghian’ features on their upcoming second album, Bridge Over Cumberland, which is due on 15th May via Deathwish Inc. and Sunday Drive Records. By blending the quiet-to-load dynamic of grunge and the shimmering sensitivity of dream-pop, the band evoke a deep sense of nostalgia on this track, which guitarist Lennon Bramlett believes forms the basis of the whole record. (KC)

dvrkworld – ‘Stimulation’
‘Stimulation’ is the latest single from Tasmanian alt-rock band dvrkworld. Blending gritty riffs with lush vocals, the track reflects on the overwhelming presence of technology in today’s world. dvrkworld released their debut self-titled EP back in 2025 via Psychedelic Salad Records and they are currently working on their first full-length album, due in early 2027. (KC)

Waterdeer – ‘Goddamn’
Having blown us away playing for us at New River Studios a while back, shoegaze international supergroup Waterdeer (featuring members of Ritual Error and former members of GHUM) have now finally released some of their captivating music into the world. Flowing with a haunting, shimmering grace, ‘Goddamn’ will immerse you in its rich dreamy splendour on first listen. I can’t wait to hear more. (ML)

 

Roomer – ‘Written By’
Berlin-based dream rock outfit Roomer are new to me, but I’m loving their latest single. ‘Written By’ is a dreamy, reverb-heavy rumination on the subtlety nature of growth and change. The band will be venturing to Brighton in May to play The Great Escape Festival, so make sure you check them out if you’re heading down to the seaside! (KC)

Mi.el – ‘She Will Be Gone’
An immersive slice of dream-pop, ‘She Will Be Gone’ is taken from the poignant latest EP from London duo Mi.el. Exploring female empowerment and curiosities, the EP offers a lilting collection as rich celestial vocals and lilting hooks shimmer throughout with a captivating grace reminiscent of the likes of Warpaint or The XX. (ML)

maehem99 – ‘I Can’t Be Your Guy’
I am hooked on this gritty piece of electronica from non-binary, Irish-South African artist maehem99. ‘I Can’t Be Your Guy’ is their debut single and the first track they’ve shared from their upcoming EP, Sexual Commerce, which is set for release on 18th June. The EP is maehem99’s authentic sonic statement of self-autonomy, as well as a reflection on the industries that tried to mould them into something they’re not. (KC)

Tomorrow Woman – ‘The Flower’
Tomorrow Woman is the new project of California-born, Paris-based artist Betsy Roszko, formerly of punk band Gomme. With her strong DIY spirit and background in dance and movement, she changed musical gears and began experimenting with electronics under her new monkier. This track ‘The Flower’ is taken from her debut EP, Plays Machines, which is set for release on 1st May, and it’s inspired by Betsy’s favourite Buddhist quote: “If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change”. It’s an infectious mix of enveloping synths, dreamy vocals and twitchy beats, designed to immerse listeners in the moment. (KC) 

HEIGHTS – ‘Belong’ 
A captivating slice of alt-pop inspired by the binary oppositions of closeness and isolation, ‘Belong’ is the latest single from HEIGHTS. Full of her soft vocals and dreamy cinematic synths, the track acts as a sonic confession for the artist, which she explains in more detail: “I wrote ‘Belong’ about the tension between craving closeness and feeling like you don’t quite belong anywhere yet. It’s a late-night conversation with yourself about identity and the need to feel seen – searching for home in another person while still trying to find it within yourself. Really outing myself as an overthinker with this one.” (KC)

Eve Maret – ‘Gethsemani’
I’ve only just discovered Nashville-based experimental artist and composer Eve Maret, but I’m fascinated by her sound and her aesthetic. Inspired by her self-desribed “complicated” Catholic upbringing, she penned this track ‘Gethsemani’ – named after the biblical garden – when she visited a monastery. It’s taken from her upcoming album, Diamond Cutter, which is set for release on 17th April. She uses an array of sythns, instruments and recording techniques to create her unusual and exploratory sounds, which she performs in full costume as a Nun. “Dressing up like a nun and playing music felt like a random idea at first, but in retrospect, my life has been building towards this culmination point for years,” Eve shares. “I’m re-contextualizing my wounds to empower myself. I’m taking the parts of Catholicism I appreciate and reappropriating them. I am devoted to music, to knowing myself, and to having fun in the process.” (KC)

Bugeye – ‘Comfortably Numb’
Big faves of ours at GIHE for many years now, Croydon punk-pop band Bugeye have now announced the release of a new album, and they’ve celebrated by sharing a fierce new single. Reflecting on the mixed feelings around late nights and dancefloor antics, ‘Comfortably Numb’ sizzles with an ‘80s-inspired brooding energy as the band’s trademark colourful layered hooks pulsating disco beats take hold. The Shape Of Things, the upcoming new album from Bugeye, is out 15th May via INH Records. (ML)

Downtown Boys – ‘You’re A Ghost’
Having first met at union meetings while working together at a hotel, founding members of Downtown Boys Victoria Marie and Joey La Neve DeFrancesco let their political drive and desire for change seep into everything they release as a band, and this is certainly the case with their latest single. A fierce retort against ICE, genocide and the suppression of marginalised voices, ‘You’re A Ghost’ races with a raging, chaotic energy, building to an immense and necessary slice of industrial dance-punk. The resonant and powerful accompanying animated video was directed by Lebanese artist Khalil (@palpable.image). Public Luxury, the upcoming new album from Downtown Boys, is set for release on 26th June via Sup Pop. (ML)

WIDGET – ‘WHAT IF PHONES BUT TOO MUCH’
Having completely dazzled us with their gritty compelling energy and utterly unique charisma when they headlined New River Studios for us last month, East London post-punk supergroup WIDGET (featuring members of Big Joanie, all cats are beautiful, Junodef and Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani) have just released their debut album, Classy Hits Vol.2. Taken from the album, ‘WHAT IF PHONES BUT TOO MUCH’ offers a seething, satirical anthem, as fitting for the dancefloor as it is for taking to the streets and rising up against the powers that be. Of the track, the band explain: “It’s a song about not accepting the lot you’ve been given, about pushing up at the glass ceiling and smashing it wide open on your way out. Fulfilling the dream we’ve definitely all had where everyone’s face is Danny Dyer and saying ‘god no this is absolutely not what I want from life please and thank you’”. You can catch WIDGET talking about their new album in more detail on our next Soho Radio show on Wednesday 13th May at 8-10pm! (ML)

Cootie Catcher – ‘Loiter For The Love Of It’
New favourite band (and band name) alert! Having released a new album in February, Toronto’s Cootie Catcher have just come to my attention with the announcement of a UK tour later this year. I’m a big fan of their lo-fi scuzzy sounds and honey-sweet harmonies; a perfect combo of twee innocence and chaotic angst-driven energy. Something We All Got, the latest album from Cootie Catcher, is out now via Carpark Records. (ML)

Carla J. Easton – ‘Let’s Make Plans For The Weekend’
Having played in awesome bands such as TeenCanteen and The Vaselines, Scottish musician Carla J. Easton is now set to release a new solo album next month, featuring collaborations with the likes of MALKA and Darren Hayman. Ahead of the album’s release, she’s just shared an uplifting new single. A celebration of late nights, friendship and the weekly ritual of letting go, ‘Let’s Make Plans For The Weekend’ offers a sparkling slice of playful synth-pop; a perfectly sparkling summer bop. I Think That I Might Love You, the upcoming new album from Carla J. Easton, is out on 8th May via Ernest Jenning Record Co. (ML)

Gabi Garbutt – ‘Lightning Held’
Following last month’s empowering anthem ‘Radical Love’, London artist Gabi Garbutt has now released a driving new single.

(ML)

Not Richard & Her Majesty – ‘A Song About Being A Parasite’
The latest single from Brighton based glam rockers Not Richard & Her Majesty, ‘A Song About Being A Parasite’ reflects on the end of a romantic relationship and the mixed emotions that can come with this. Fizzing with ska-tinged beats and glistening synth-laden hooks, it’s an instantly catchy anthem offering all the effervescent allure of Marc Bolan with a fresh queer energy. Not Richard & Her Majesty will be playing at Brighton’s Alternative Escape Festival on 15th May at Hotel Pelirocco. (ML)

Grandmas House – ‘DOG’
GIHE faves Grandmas House are back with this excellent new single ‘DOG’. The Bristol-based post-punks penned this track during a time of personal struggle, when a band member was living with a chronic illness that no health professional could properly explain. Through their racing riffs, marching beats and fluctuating tempos, the band explore feelings of unease and the exhaustion of living through a health crises, offering brief respite for listeners who have found themselves in similar circumstances. (KC)

Frances Murray – ‘Holidays By The Sea’
Described as one of her favourite tracks from her debut solo album, Dreamer, ‘Holiday By The Sea’ is the latest single from Essex-born, Brighton-based songwriter Frances Murray (fka BLAB). For this song, Frances used the “cut up” lyric technique, which involves physically cutting words out of newspapers & magazines or lifting lines from poetry in order to create your own song, which perfectly encapsulates the scrap-book, nostalgic spirit of ‘Holidays By The Sea’. To celebrate the release of Dreamer, Frances will be playing a show in Southend at The Fickle Pickle (12th June) and in Brighton at the Hope and Ruin (3rd June) too. (KC) 

TERE! – ‘MAN’
Fuelled by a desire to process her trauma and to offer a message of solidarity to survivors of sexual assault, Spanish-born, Liverpool-based songwriter TERE! penned this intense single ‘MAN’. Through her potent vocals, dramatic volume shifts and explicit lyricism, TERE! tackles these issues with a formidable spirit, fighting her demons and gaining the courage to help others in the process. She will be releasing her debut album, NO MORE MANNERS, in May this year. (KC)

No Peeling – ‘Stationery’
A catchy slice of energetic garage-pop from Nottingham-based band No Peeling here! ‘Stationery’ is lifted from their upcoming EP, simply titled EP2, which is set for release on 1st May via Wrong Speed Records & Feel It Records. Inspired by both the mundanity and the joy of everyday life – like stationery for example – it’s a playful collection of tracks that the band believe aptly captures the spirit of their live shows. (KC) 

Irked – ‘Who Asked?’
Self-described as “a garage-punk hate letter to the world,” North-East punks Irked are on the cusp of sharing their debut album, Grievance, on 1st May via Wrong Speed Records. The LP is a deeply personal dismantling of the politics of gender, class and toxic behaviours in the workplace, which this track ‘Who Asked?’ directly addresses. Lyrically inspired by notes on band members phones and late night chats, the track explores the contradictions of “day jobs, night shifts, work drinks and half-hearted plans”. (KC)

THE NONE – ‘Watch’ / ‘Daddy Doesn’t Make Mistakes’
We are big fans of Birmingham-based punk outfit THE NONE here at GIHE, so we’re excited to see that they’re back with more vital, abrasive and electrifying new music. The band performed ‘Watch’ and ‘Daddy Doesn’t Make Mistakes’ for a live session with state51, which you can watch below. Filmed in one continuous take, the video captures vocalist Kai’s visceral energy perfectly, alongside their bandmates cacophonous blend of intense riffs and beats. The session also features a cover of Napalm Death’s infamous ‘You Suffer’. THE NONE will be curating two all-day events with some of their favourite acts in London (16th May) and in Birmingham (18th July). Tickets are available on DICE now. (KC)

Spit Takes – ‘Teeth’
With a songwriting technique described as “a zero fucks given approach on dark times with tongue-in-cheek wit,” it’s no wonder we became instant fans of Minneapolis-based punk band Spit Takes. This riotous single ‘Teeth’ is the title track from their upcoming debut album, which is set for release on 9th May via independent label Whiplass Records. Full of raging catharsis and reminiscent of the raw energy of iconic Riot Grrrl bands like Bikini Kill, Spit Takes’ sound is vehemently anti-fascist and totally up GIHE street. (KC)

Dogviolet – ‘Daisy Crowns’
Following the spellbinding power of songs like ‘Dandelions’ and ‘Violets’, long time favourites Dogviolet have returned to grace our ears with another beautiful, floral-themed single. A captivating reflection on nostalgia, ‘Daisy Crowns’ flows with a dark, sweeping majesty, longing for the frivolous joy of youth with a sparkling desperation. It’s always a highlight of their live sets, oozing an all-compassing swirling allure. (ML)

Jolanda Moletta (ft. Yellow Belly) – ‘Their Voices Rise Above The Waves’
A stunning soundscape that will captivate and lull listeners into a dreamlike state, this is the latest single from multimedia artist and one-woman electronic choir Jolanda Moletta. ‘Their Voices Rise Above The Waves’ is lifted from her upcoming third album (and first for label Becaon Sound) Oceanine, which is set for release on 1st May. It’s a sonic celebration of female power and divinity, as well as an ode to survival and collective memory. Each track on Oceanine features a collaboration with a different female vocalist, including Nadine Khouri, Karen Vogt, Astrid Williamson, Elska, Yellow Belly and more. Speaking about her deeply personal new work, Jolanda explains: “Oceanine is inspired by sirens, water nymphs, and the timeless call of the sea. At its core lies my deep, lifelong connection to the Mediterranean Sea and to the ancient and modern myths and folklore that have emerged from its waters…The entire album is built exclusively from the human voice, processed and layered, yet always remaining voice, and nothing else.” (KC)

afromerm – ‘reflections’
This beautiful track is lifted from GIHE fave and Oram Award-winning artist afromerm’s latest EP, held. An emotive and eclectic blend of field recordings, soothing vocals and electro-acoustic instrumentation, the three-track EP showcases afromerm’s instinctive sonic connection to water and the sea, as well as being a testament to the fluidity and shifting tides of life itself. ‘reflections’ also features arrangements from talented collaborators YUIS and Marysia Osu too. (KC)

 

Penelope Trappes – ‘Platinum’ (Saint Etienne Rework)
It seems there are no limits to the extraordinary vision of Brighton-based Australian multi-disciplinary artist Penelope Trappes. In 2025, she shared her poignant, grief-inspired album A Requium, along with a companion LP, Æternum, which featured a new set of compositions. Now, she is preparing to share Opvs Novum: A Requiem Reworked, a new collaborative record which expands her captivating concepts even further. Set for release on 29th May via One Little Independent Records, Penelope “reframes” her original release with the help of an array of discerning artists, including Gazelle Twin, Midwife, Julia Holter, PRIZMA9 and more. On this new version of ‘Platinum’, London trio Saint Etienne bring a hypnotic, hymn-like sensibility to the track, whilst still retaining the haunting quality of the original. I am so excited to listen to the new record in full! (KC)

BISHI – ‘Maya She Lives Inside Me’
We are consistently impressed by the eclectic projects that British Bengali multi-instrumentalist & composer BISHI brings her unique talents to, so we were excited to discover that she has produced her first original soundtrack! She wrote the score for MAYA: The Birth of a Superhero, which is a 30 minute immersive VR animated film that forms part of award-winning activist and transmedia artist Poulomi Basu’s law-changing multimedia project, Blood Speaks – exploring menstrual exile and violence against women in South Asia – which was shortlisted at Festival de Cannes 2024. Now, BISHI is preparing to release the soundtrack via her own label Gryphon Records on 15th May, and to celebrate, she will be host four special live performances of the score across the UK in June. These shows will feature BISHI on voice, sitar and electronics alongside live strings, with bespoke visuals from the creators of MAYA: The Birth of a Superhero, manipulated live to create an immersive concert experience. (KC)

Hannah Schneider – ‘The Apartment’
Recently releasing her innovative solo album, The Room, Danish artist Hannah Schneider is keen to reclaim the creative process, consistently insisting on presence, intuition, and craftsmanship as the driving forces behind the creation of her music. Rejecting the use of AI in music, she recorded together with other musicians at a residency at the historical Thorvaldsens Museum, fusing together an eclectic array of musical elements and processes to create something truly exceptional. Taken from the album, ‘The Apartment’ showcases Schneider’s rich, immersive soundscapes and beguiling, sumptuous vocals perfectly. Watch the beautiful new video below. (ML)

VERO – ‘Dumb It’
Stockholm trio VERO have been firm favourites of mine since they released their debut LP, Unsoothing Interior, back in 2022. Fast forward four years, and they’ve shared a brand new equally as excellent record titled Razor Tongue. The band have retained their trademark sardonic lyrics and brooding riffs, but they deliver them with a potent new confidence, something which this track ‘Dumb It’ skilfully exudes. It was such a privilege to see them playing live at their debut London show at The Shacklewell Arms this week. You definitely missed out if you weren’t there.

steel. – ‘Kismet’
Since being captivated by their swirling dark allure at Decolonise Fest last year, I’ve been a big fan of Liverpool post-punks steel., and I’d be surprised if you’re not a fan too after listening to new single ‘Kismet’. Instantly immersing you in their brooding majestic splendour, it showcases the band as purveyors of the most spellbinding of soundscapes. I cannot wait for steel. to play for us at The Great Escape on Saturday 16th May! They’ll be part of our showcase at The Beach Stage, along with other faves Problem Patterns, The Baby Seals, YAKKIE and Jessie Mac – keep your eyes peeled on our socials for more details.

Kathryn Mohr – ‘Doorway’
Taken from her second album, Carve, due on 17th April via The Flenser, Oakland-based artist Kathryn Mohr has provided another distinctively moody offering with this single. The lyrics to ‘Doorway’ were lifted from her own notebook, giving listeners a deep insight into her thoughts as she unravels them over restless, reverb-heavy riffs. Her upcoming record is a poignant reflection on the multi-faceted nature of memory, intimacy and isolation and how these things inform our understanding of ourselves over time. I can’t wait to hear it in full. (KC)

Upchuck – ‘Last Breath’
A track that lives up to its name! The urgency that underscores Upchuck’s latest single ‘Last Breath’ is palpable. It smoulders with defiance and anarchic spirit. The Atlanta-based punk band will be returning to the UK in June this year to play gigs across the UK, including a headline show at Oslo in East London on 28th June. (KC)

CLT DRP – ‘What Is She For?’
A striking blend of jagged riffs, commanding beats and direct lyrics, Brighton-based art-punks CLT DRP have returned with this phenomenal new track. ‘What Is She For?’ dissects the notion of traditional gender roles and questions why these perspectives still haven’t shifted over time. “This single is a not-so-subtle protest to the endless requirements you have to meet as a DIY AFAB fronted band,” explains CLT DRP vocalist Annie Dorrett. Together with their bandmates, Annie is preparing to bring CLT DRP’s vital energy back to our eager ears with more new music in the very near future. (KC)

Lifeloose – ‘Lifeloose’
Described as “just two girls who want to let loose”, London-based experimental duo Lifeloose have sonically achieved just that on their debut self-titled single. Together Aldi Ho and Josie Silverman create playful, wonky electro-pop tunes shaped by their desire to overthrow their formal Guildhall Music School education and create their own sound. The result is an infectiously endearing blend of silliness and sincerity, all underscored by a really “good fucking beat”. (KC)

BIG|BRAVE – ‘the ineptitude for mutual discernment’
Capturing the complexity of how it feels to exist in the uncertainty of today’s world, acclaimed heavy trio BIG|BRAVE’s latest single is a disarming blend of gritty distortion and hypnotic vocals. ‘the ineptitude for mutual discernment’ is lifted from the band’s upcoming tenth album, in grief or in hope, which is set for release on 12th June. It’s a heavy record for heavy times, underscored by intense empathy and a desire to explore the binary oppositions of human nature. (KC)

Lauren Auder – ‘no outline’
Happy album release day to London-based composer and producer Lauren Auder! Today (27th March), she has shared her second LP, Whole World As Vigil, which this single ‘no outline’ features on. Described as “the most literal track on the record,” it was inspired by the overwhelming heartbreak Lauren endured whilst writing her new record. Her beautiful blend of tender keys, richly emotive vocals and electronic textures make for bittersweet listening. (KC)

Dose – ‘Chump Change’
I’m so pleased that Dublin four-piece Dose are back with new music! This single ‘Chump Change’ is a witty rumination on what it feels like to be left hollowed out by an unhealthy romantic connection. By deliberately incorporating elements of “slightly cheesy” rock and roll with their hazy dream-pop sounds, Dose make light of the uneasy feelings that inspired the tracks conception. ‘Chump Change’ is the first insight into what the band’s upcoming EP will sound like, due for release on Pizza Pizza Records this May. Check out the accompanying David Lynch-inspired video below, directed by guitarist & vocalist Lizzie Fitzpatrick and featuring bassist Lauren Heron. (KC)

deary – ‘Alma’
Following on from their gorgeous epic shoegaze single ‘Alfie’, London-based trio deary have shared another dreamy offering titled ‘Alma’. Lifted from the band’s upcoming debut album, Birding, which is set for release on 3rd April via Bella Union, ‘Alma’ is an airy blend of lush vocals and shimmering riffs, inspired by themes of growth, resilience and kindness. “I see ‘Alma’ as an embodiment of our band,” explains vocalist & guitarist Dottie. “It has been with us for a long time and changed with us along the way…In this song, I am talking to my younger self who made the decision to look after us and become a better person.” (KC)

Lemonade Sin – ‘Hold The Frame’
Ahead of the release of their upcoming third album, London-via-Devon supergroup Lemonade Sin have shared a dreamy new single. Reflecting on the dynamic between Baby and Johnny in the film Dirty Dancing, it ripples with a hazy Twin Peaks-reminiscent energy, as wispy vocals float over ethereal keys creating a blissful yet somewhat disconcerting soundscape. Nothing For A Pair, the new album from Lemonade Sin, is set for release on 17th April. (ML)

Misty Coast – ‘Spring’
Released to coincide with the Spring equinox, this aptly titled track from Norwegian duo Misty Coast is a breath of fresh air. ‘Spring’ is the third single the band have shared from their upcoming album, Always Sun, which is set for release on 24th April via Melodaze Records. Psychedelic riffs, soft vocals and field recordings of the duo’s winter stay in Tokyo permeate the track, providing listeners with a bright, lilting slice of psych-pop. ‘Spring’ is also accompanied by a DIY video, shot on location in Tokyo that you can watch below. (KC)

Gladie – ‘I Want That For You’
An exhilarating anthem inspired by friendship and self-compassion, ‘I Want That For You’ is the latest single from Philadelphia-based rockers Gladie. It’s taken from their recent album, No Need To Be Lonely, which they shared via Get Better Records earlier this month. Full of defiant lyrics and racing riffs, the track is a cathartic reflection on moving through times of struggle. Vocalist Augusta Koch explains the context further: “It kind of encapsulates to me the whole message of No Need To Be Lonely…I often think about how easy it is to see the beauty and wonderful qualities in someone else but how hard it is to apply that same love to yourself. ‘I Want That For You’ is basically about encouragement and wanting everyone to stick around, even when it’s really hard, including ourselves.” (KC)

IRKED – ‘Settle Down’
Described as “a garage-punk hate letter to the world,” North-East punks IRKED are gearing up to share their upcoming debut album, Grievance. Set for release on 1st May via Wrong Speed Records, it’s a deeply personal, visceral dismantling of the politics of gender, employment and class. On their latest single ‘Settle Down’, the band tackle the ingrained sexism that adds to the stresses of everyday life, that lead to women feeling exhausted and inadequate. (KC)

YAKKIE- ‘Lean Out’
Having been guests on our February Soho Radio show, and having blown us away with their immense live show on more than one occasion, epic supergroup YAKKIE have released one of the most powerful and resonant albums, not just of the year, but perhaps ever. Kill The Cop Inside Your Head really is a perfectly fierce and necessary catharsis for all women and marginalised communities, and comes complete with some of the most incredible, grunge-fuelled riffs you’ve ever heard. This track ‘Lean Out’ offers a seething retort against corporate feminism and how women’s labour has been historically undervalued, instead calling for real change which comes with community and collaboration, rising against the systems that oppress us. It’s now more important than ever to have bands like YAKKIE, not afraid to speak up for what’s right and use their platform as a real force for change. I’m extremely grateful they exist. (ML)

ScareBears – ‘Softboy Disco’
The second single from Bristol feminist punks ScareBears, ‘Softboy Disco’ explores themes of emotional manipulation and toxic masculinity as a seething sense of urgency and frenzied energy fizzes throughout. Another immense anthem from this supergroup of sorts (featuring members of The Menstrual Cramps and Mondo Wave), offering a scathing retort against that all-too-common ‘nice guy’ facade. We cannot wait for ScareBears to come and headline our next gig at The Cavendish Arms on 23rd April, with support from longtime faves Comic Sans and First Timers alumni Magpie Conspiracy (featuring Jemma Freeman). Tickets are on DICE now and cheaper in advance. (ML)

 

 

Gouge Away – ‘Figurine’
I still have Florida-based heavy band Gouge Away’s 2024 track ‘Stuck In A Dream’ embedded in my skull, but I’m glad to hear they’ve lost none of their potency on this new single. ‘Figurine’ is their first release on Run For Cover Records, and it’s inspired by vocalist Christina Michelle’s reflections on her childhood as a timid “people pleaser”. Full of her distinctive, dynamic vocals and the bands visceral beats and riffs, it’s a rallying cry for love and acceptance, whether you’re well behaved or not. (KC)

NEXT TO NADA – ‘Nan’s In a Punk Band’
London-based punks NEXT TO NADA are back with this excellently named new single. The band describe the track’s narrative as “the story of a punk band, a cannibal vicar and your nan,” which is set over fuzzy guitar riffs and off-kilter lyrics to create a devious slice of doom-pop. Recorded in a single day at Subfrantic Studios with Liam Gunning, the band used a myriad of equipment – including a Fender HodRod Deveille, an Ampeg SVT 3 Pro head and the legendary MIDAS H3000 analogue console – to bring their anarchic sounds to life. (KC)

The Empty Page – ‘A Feminine Ending’
Following impassioned recent single ‘Death On Our Side’ the latest single from long-time favourites, The Empty Page, offers a stark rejection of the beauty standards and expectations placed on women in a world largely dictated by the whims of problematic men. A searing critique of the patriarchy, the track seethes with the band’s trademark reverb-strewn hooks and fierce gritty energy. Kel from the band expands: “Women’s voices need to be louder than ever in 2026. Decades of progress driven by the feminist movement are in danger of being rapidly undone in a world of out-of-control male egos… it’s more significant than ever to criticise the pervasive and deeply concerning message that only young women are attractive, desirable, or of any value whatsoever.” (ML)

The Black Wizards – ‘Killing The Buzz’
New favourites for sure, Porto based trio The Black Wizards are storming into spring with their first new music since 2018. Propelled by relentless riffs and underscored by a fierce blues-driven groove, ‘Killing The Buzz’ offers a gloriously energised, yet impossibly cool, slice of rousing garage-rock. I can’t wait to hear more. (ML)

Black Water County – ‘People’
With the recent release of new EP, Second Best, Dorset folk-punks Black Water County trace a journey from individual alienation to a shared resistance, with each track on the collection exploring a different emotional response to the state of society right now, and ultimately celebrating the power of collective defiance. Whilst reflecting on the instinct to withdraw from the world when times are hard, focus track ‘People’ is propelled by lilting hooks and the fierce energy of front person Shan Byrom’s vocals, showcasing the band’s ability to fuse a resonant sense of rage together with their trademark uplifting spirit. An impassioned rallying cry to all who may be feeling demoralised by the world, Second Best offers a much-needed catharsis and message of hope at a time when we need it the most. The EP is out now via We Go To 11, the artist-lead sub-label of Trapped Animal Records. (ML)

Frances Murray – ‘The Woods’
Simmering with a slow-burning anger, ‘The Woods’ is the latest single from Essex-born, Brighton-based musician and producer Frances Murray (fka BLAB). Taken from her upcoming debut solo album, Dreamer, which she’ll be self-releasing on 10th April, the track begins with her deceptively steady vocals, but builds to an agitated chorus that bitterly laments a lack of self-autonomy. (KC)

Alice Mary – ‘Spiral’
Having played live for us many moons ago, songwriter Alice Mary has now shared her first single in four years. Born from the isolation of the covid lockdowns and produced by Grace Banks (Marika Hackman, English Teacher), ‘Spiral’ offers a lilting yearning for connection, oozing a raw emotion and gritty musicality. Self-described by Mary as “slow-burn indie-rock for overthinkers”. (ML)

Eleanor Hooper – ‘Every Fibre Of Me Is You’
Independent artist Eleanor Hooper provides a poignant reflection on maternal experience on this tender track. Inspired by “the first moment of separation after exclusive breastfeeding,” Eleanor uses her beautifully layered vocals, folk influences and choral textures to give this encounter the resonance she deeply feels it deserves. ‘Every Fibre Of Me Is You’ is lifted from her debut EP, FIBRES, which is available to listen to online now. (KC)

Lemoncello – ‘Articulate Animal’
I had such a lovely conversation with Irish duo Lemoncello for The Line Of Best Fit back in 2024, so I’m pleased to see that they’re sharing new music again. Released via the esteemed Claddagh Records, this track ‘Articulate Animal’ is a song that truly “gets to the heart of things” with its gorgeous vocal floating over a hypnotic cello drone. It will be the opening track on Lemoncello’s upcoming new album, Perfect Place, due on 8th May. (KC)

Modern Woman – ‘Daniel’
Set to release their debut album in May, London art-rock band Modern Woman offer an immersive, ethereal splendour with latest single ‘Daniel’. Written whilst songwriter Sophie Harris was camping near a lake in Wales, it captures the sparkling sense of calm and pastoral majesty that can be felt in nature; a raw and intimate moment amongst the quirky energy of some of the band’s other, livelier tracks. Johnny’s Dreamworld, the upcoming debut album from Modern Woman, is out on 1st May via One Little Independent Records. (ML)

Ailsa Tully – ‘Womb Room’
Having been big fans of Welsh songwriter Ailsa Tully for many years now, the GIHE team were really pleased to hear that she released her debut album earlier this month. Written in the year following her father’s death from cancer, Womb Room offers an intimate exploration of grief; raw with emotion and rippling with a desperate sense of longing and melancholy throughout, the album also shimmers with moments of hope and the comfort that love can bring us. As Tully’s distinctive resonant vocals flow seamlessly, different sonic elements are interwoven into each song; from rich keys, soaring strings and Tully’s unique bass-playing technique, to natural field recordings and even snippets of her father playing piano (‘He’s Leaving’). It’s truly an exquisite collection; a poignant and heartfelt reflection on grief and the search for a sense of belonging that can follow. An eclectic tapestry of soundscapes, each beautifully stirring in its own right. Womb Room, the debut album from Ailsa Tully, is out now. (ML)

ESYA ft. Jessy Lanza – ‘Chasing Desire’
‘Chasing Desire’ is the eponymous track from ESYA’s upcoming debut album, which is set for release on 10th April via AOK records. The solo project of Ayse Hassan (Savages, Kite Base, 180db) ESYA’s latest release features the sounds of Canadian Hyperdub artist Jessy Lanza. It’s another experimental, lilting soundscape from an artist who is committed to exploring all aspects of her sound. ESYA wants to encourage others to do the same and “demystify” the process of making electronic music by hosting Chasing Desire interactive exhibitions in London, Glasgow and Bristol in the lead up to the release. She will be at eARTH Space on Hoxton Street in London between 10th-12th April. More details here. (KC)

Gabi Garbutt ft. Jemma Freeman – ‘Radical Love’
Set to release their third album later this year, London artist Gabi Garbutt has now shared the first taste of what to expect. Featuring GIHE fave Jemma Freeman on backing vocals, guitars and synths, ‘Radical Love’ was initially inspired by writer/activist Sara Ahmed’s notion of ‘Queer Phenomenology’, as well as essays by legends such as Audre Lorde and Martin Luther King, and offers an empowering and uplifting anthem. Of the track, Garbutt explains – “[this song explores] how a radical love is urgently needed to face a world falling apart with humanitarian crisis and climate crisis.” (ML)

th’sheridans’ – ‘Painted’
After more than a decade creating music together, London-based band Adam Karenina Sherif and Julia Oertli aka th’sheridans returned to our ears with brand new music this month. Self-described as “blonking through the dystopia as best we know how”, they remain the perfect purveyors of scuzzy indie-pop; interweaving poignant issues whilst oozing an uplifting effervescent euphoria. Originally recorded back in 2023 and completely mixed and mastered by the band, new single ‘Painted’ offers a stirring resonance for right now, showcasing the band’s ability to create a sparkling sense of hope despite our fears and frustrations. ‘Painted’ is accompanied by an unlikely cover of Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Emotion’ as a virtual b-side. Originally commissioned by some friends to arrange the song for a wedding, the duo felt it thematically complemented their new single perfectly: whilst ‘Painted’ is rooted in reality as they experience it, ‘Emotion’ is about everything they could be doing if things were different.

The Echograms – ‘Lovesick’
Having played live for us last year at The Cavendish Arms, Margate based Claire Pitt-Wigmore and her band The Echograms deliver swirling ‘bluegaze’ soundscapes with a gritty raw emotion. Taken from their debut EP, ‘Lovesick’ glistens with a fizzing atmospheric allure and fierce riffs, offering an immersive reflection on limerance and the realisation that people often don’t live up to our expectations of them. With its intricate and captivating musicality, this debut signals The Echograms as definite ones to watch.

VERO – ‘Dead Train’
Another month, another excellent single from Stockholm trio VERO. ‘Dead Train’ is the third track to be lifted from the band’s upcoming second album, Razor Tongue, set for release on 20th March via PNKSLM. Their new record is inspired by their restless, urgent spirit and I think that translates perfectly through their brooding, grunge-inspired riffs and angst-ridden vocals. VERO will be playing a London headline show at The Shacklewell Arms on 26th March. I can’t wait to hear these tracks in the flesh! (Kate Crudgington – Features Editor)

Pixie Cut Rhythm Orchestra – ‘I’ve Been Here Before’
I’ve been a big fan of Dublin’s Pixie Cut Rhythm Orchestra since Irish musician Fears recommended them to us on our Soho Radio show in 2021. I’m thrilled that they’re back with new single ‘I’ve Been Here Before’, which is a gritty reflection on the “performative lifestyles and the instability of modern city living”. As always, Sarah Deegan’s witty and cutting lyricism shines through, thanks to her distinctive vocals and the grinding riffs that underscore them. (KC)

Blackwater Holylight – ‘Bodies’
Having recently released their fourth album, Not Here Not Gone, LA based Blackwater Holylight combine dreamy psych-tinged soundscapes with a fierce power to create a sound that is entirely their own. Taken from the album, latest single ‘Bodies’ showcases the band’s ability to interweave immense, doom-laden soundscapes with an immersive transcendental majesty. Read about some of the albums that inspire drummer Eliese Dorsay the most in our recent Five Favourites feature. (ML)

Kathryn Mohr – ‘Property’
Oakland-based artist Kathryn Mohr is adept at capturing a heavy mood in her music and her latest single ‘Property’ is no exception. Lifted from her upcoming second album, Carve, which is set for release on 17th April via The Flenser, it’s an “amalgamation of dream images and visions” that Kathryn had throughout 2025, drenched in reverb and full of her potent vocals. Her upcoming record is a poignant reflection on love, grief, intimacy and isolation and how these things inform our understanding of ourselves over time. (KC)

Topsy Turvy – ‘Five Guitars’
Galvanized by their frustrations at the behaviour of a male touring musician in their hometown music scene, Vienna-based DIY rock trio Topsy Turvy penned their new album, the excellently titled Fighting the Ginormous Macho Nacho, in righteous retaliation. Set for release on 23rd May via Siluh Records, the album blends their garage-punk, psych-rock influences with upfront lyricism and direct vocals, with single ‘Five Guitars’ perfectly showcasing their new-found anarchic attitude.

Charley Stone – ‘Forever Your Love’
With February traditionally being a time to celebrate romance, GIHE fave Charley Stone has decided to share a lilting ode to unrequited love. As shimmering hooks fizz alongside Stone’s distinctive honey-sweet vocals and playful tongue-in-cheek lyricism, ‘Forever Your Love’ reflects on feelings of longing from a hopeless romantic for something unattainable.

Top Shortage – ‘Susan Stryker’
Having become a leading figure in Oxford’s queer community and DIY scene before even officially releasing any music, Top Shortage have now shared their first proper single. Oozing a fierce raw emotion with a driving post-punk energy, ‘Susan Stryker’ draws on an excerpt from transfeminist theorist Susan Stryker’s 1994 essay, My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamonix, with a striking, impassioned drive. Pushing against the notion of bodies, sex and gender as natural and immutable, the track offers a timely and cathartic anthem calling for trans liberation. Vocalist Noa expands: “Trans people are so often seen as monstrous by a bigoted society – the essay, and this song, reclaims that monstrosity and makes it a rallying cry.’ (ML)

Lemonade Sin – ‘Murmurs and Creaks’
Consisting of members you may recognise from other bands over the years, London-via-Devon quintet Lemonade Sin create catchy slices of indie-pop based around the songwriting partnership of Lee Friese-Greene (Sidi Bou Said, Soup, Short-Haired Domestic) and Simon Aldous (Umbrella Heaven). With the addition of Jennifer Denitto (BCOS RSNS, Linus), Charlotte Beale (Joan, Soup) and Robin Morgan (Umbrella Heaven, Joan) to complete the line-up, they’re now set to release their third album this Spring. Our first taste of the album comes in the form of latest single ‘Murmurs and Creaks’. Inspired by the fictional pairing of Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester, it interweaves motorik rhythms with swirling synth patterns and distinctive vocal harmonies to create a driving, Stereolab-reminiscent indie-pop anthem.

WIDGET – ‘Chamois Leather’
Following on from their self-titled debut EP in 2024, East London post-punk supergroup (featuring members of Big Joanie, all cats are beautiful, Junodef and Zahra Haji Fath Ali Tehrani) WIDGET have now shared a genre-bending new single. Fusing together funk-fuelled hooks with a fierce groove and Ky’s stark spoken word vocals, the track cements this awesome collective as definite ones to watch, and we cannot wait for them to headline for us at New River Studios on 13th March, with support from Coventry jazz-punk band The Genes and DIY newcomers Lunar Riot. Tickets are on Dice now and as always, they are cheaper in advance – it’s going to be a lot of fun, hope to see you there! (ML)

Gemas – ‘Hola’
This joyful slice of grunge-tinged dream-pop comes courtesy of Costa Rica-based DIY band Gemas. Taken from the band’s recent EP, Miedo a perder (which roughly translates as “Fear Of Losing”), this track ‘Hola’ deftly captures their self-defined “soft but restless, intimate but charged” energy. (KC)

Lauren Auder – ‘Praxis’
I’m still hammering London-based composer and producer Lauren Auder’s track ‘the ripple’ (my favourite from her 2023 debut album, the infinite spine) but I’m ultra pleased to see that she’s back releasing brand new music. ‘Praxis’ is lifted from her upcoming second album, Whole World As Vigil, which is set for release on 27th March via untitled. I love her rich, sensual voice and her innovative layering of synths, vocals and samples here – including the sound of a power drill cutting through metal! (KC)

Miss Grit – ‘Stranger’
This shape-shifting alt-pop tune from New York-based, Korean-American musician Miss Grit is taken from their upcoming new album, Under My Umbrella, which is set for release on 24th April via Mute. ‘Stranger’ is Miss Grit’s attempt to escape feelings of betrayal, underscored by contrasting synth textures, compelling beat changes and their translucent vocals. (KC)

ESYA – ‘Heaven’
I was so happy to see new music from ESYA – the solo project of Ayse Hassan (Savages, Kite Base, 180db) – in my GIHE inbox! This single ‘Heaven’ is lifted from her upcoming debut album, Chasing Desire, which is set for release on 10th April via AOK records. It’s an industrial-tinged soundscape, blending ESYA’s yearning vocals with atmospheric synths and propulsive rhythms. Her previous EP releases were captivating collections of eclectic sound and I expect that her debut full length offering will be equally as impressive. (KC)

TEll A ViSiON – ‘IDLU’
Propelled by terse tribal beats and a fierce driving energy, ‘IDLU’ is the latest single from genre-defying Berlin-based artist TEll A ViSiON. A play on words, with the title being an acronym for ‘I Don’t Like You’, the track offers a visceral statement of empowerment and freedom, emanating a raw emotion and gritty sense of urgency. (ML)

Maria BC – ‘Rare’
Another ambient shoegaze gem from American artist Maria BC here. Taken from their upcoming third album, Marathon, which is set for release on 27th February via Sacred Bones, ‘Rare’ is Maria’s sonic rumination on insomnia and romantic infatuation. “This is a song about being in love with someone who never sleeps,” they comment. “I’m proud of the chaotic arrangement – the skittering percussion, the discordant twang of my ancient zither.” Maria has expanded their sonic palette even further on their upcoming release, and I’m looking forward to listening to it in full. (KC)

Laura Misch – ‘Echoes’
I first became aware of saxophonist and composer Laura Misch when London-based artist afromerm recommended her to us on our Soho Radio show back in 2023. Since then, she has consistently impressed me with all that she’s released, and her latest single ‘Echoes’ is no exception. Described as a “transportive saxophone and voice-led meditation,” the track is lifted from her second album, Lithic, which is set for release on 5th June via iconic label One Little Independent Records. ‘Echoes’ was inspired by Laura’s equally profound reactions to observing both the ancient Paleolithic figurines of the mythic Venus, and the instinctive sense of “wonder” she also felt watching her friend’s baby crawling across the floor. To celebrate the release of her new album, Laura will play her biggest headline show to date at London’s Barbican on 3rd July. (KC)

Lauren Von Bülow – ‘Black Beach’
Inspired by a deep connection to her natural surroundings on the South coast of England, ‘Black Beach’ is the debut single from Hastings-based songwriter Lauren Von Bülow. It’s an atmospheric, emotionally charged offering that sees her blend introspective lyrics with shadowy electronics and brooding vocals. ‘Black Beach’ is also accompanied by a music video that Lauren filmed locally, which you can watch below. (KC)

Monday’s Child – ‘Over Again’
A bittersweet declaration of pure love, ‘Over Again’ is the latest single from Belfast-based band Monday’s Child. It’s their first piece of new music since the release of their debut EP, Modern Affair (2025), full of dramatic fluctuations in rhythm in volume, reflecting the emotional turbulence that underpinned the track’s conception. Speaking about ‘Over Again’, lead vocalist Jen says: “This song was as difficult to write as it is to describe – it is a deeply introspective and personal look at my doubts and fears in the face of a pure love, and trying to decipher whether or not these thoughts are worth paying heed to or are just a normal part of relationships”. (KC)

Misty Coast – ‘Hallucinating’
I love this warm, hazy new track from Norwegian psych-pop duo Misty Coast. Formed of Linn Frøkedal and Richard Myklebust (from noise-rock outfit The Megaphonic Thrift), together they blend soft vocals with breezy synths and riffs to create their melodic musings. “‘Hallucinating’ is about trying to filter out what’s real in a chaos of noise and dopamine factories competing for your attention,” the band explain, “When the unrest and distractions become so overwhelming that you can no longer think your own thoughts, it’s time to hit the brakes.” (KC)

Dayydream – ‘Proximity’
Glasgow-based independent artist Chloe Trappes aka dayydream is gearing up to release her new EP, Trace, on 13th March. The follow up to her 2022 debut Bittersweet, the five track EP traces Chloe’s development as a songwriter and as a young adult, informed by a strong sense of nostalgia. This single ‘Proximity’ is a fitting introduction to her softer sound. Backed by a full band, she articulates sentiments about coming-of-age beautifully. (KC)

Leonor Arnaut – ‘Avé, Raposa’
Following her hypnotic debut single ‘Vida Cega’, Portuguese artist Leonor Arnaut has now returned to grace our ears with a stirring new offering. Made in LA under the mentorship and production assistance of Julia Holter and exploring themes of choice and desire, drawing on the possible symbolism of the fox in Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s series ‘Fleabag’, ‘Avé, Raposa’ ripples with an effervescent swirling majesty as Arnaut’s beautifully rich, celestial vocals soar. An exquisite insight into what to expect from this innovative new artist. (ML)

Montauk Hotel – ‘Never Quiet’
A melodic exploration of sensory overload in a chaotic world, ‘Never Quiet’ is the latest single from Dublin-based band Montauk Hotel. Through their considered lyricism and buoyant dream-pop riffs, the band extrapolate on the feelings of alienation that come from “living in a loud world where technology and political agendas distract from empathy and truth.” Recorded by the band in their home studio and mixed by Ryan McGroarty from Beauty Sleep, ‘Never Quiet’ gently distracts listeners from these overwhelming thoughts. (KC)

Sister Ghost – ‘Not Your Toy’
Having been a big fan of Northern Irish DIY rocker Shannon Delores O’Neill – aka Sister Ghost – for a number of years now, we’re super excited that she’s set to release a brand new EP this Spring. Taken from the EP, recorded in LA alongside producer Brad Wood (Liz Phair, Veruca Salt, Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo) and drummer Jeff Friedl (A Perfect Circle, DEVO), new single ‘Not Your Toy’ offers an empowering ode to survivors of coercive control whilst showcasing O’Neill’s seething, soaring power. Reflecting on the track, she explains: “Whilst it’s sadly very likely to be the case that many listeners will also identify with the subject matter, it’s my sincere hope that by being vocal about it we can help call out these coercive behaviours and reclaim our collective power.” (ML)

No Drama – ‘Doorstep’
This cathartic track from Toulouse-based indie punks No Drama is inspired by the brevity and in-continuity of relationships. It’s taken from their new EP, Isolated Areas, which is set for release on 6th March via Hidden Bay Records. Together, Christèle Gaye (drums), Manon Raupp (guitars, vocals, bass) and Daniel Selig (guitars, vocals) create loud, commanding alt-anthems that help to relieve the pressure of the grind of everyday life. (KC)

 

Shallow Honey – ‘The Bear’
Recently blowing us away with their fierce charisma and playful charm when playing live at The Waiting Room last month, Sussex band Shallow Honey have now released a raging new single. Released as an ‘anti-valentines’ anthem, ‘The Bear’ offers a gritty reflection on those men who became inexplicably furious and defensive over the conversation meant to highlight the safety issues faced by women and girls. An incredibly resonant and necessary subject right now, the track showcases the band’s ability to combine their trademark tongue-in-cheek wit with a ferocious riot grrrl-inspired energy. (ML)

Pondlife – ‘Cello’
Having just announced the release of a new EP later this year, London slacker rockers Pondlife have now shared title track ‘Cello’. Propelled by scuzzy hooks and swirling atmospherics, it’ll draw you in with a wistful allure, offering a hazy insight into the band’s shoegaze tinged soundscapes. (ML)

K Maybe – ‘Skin Hungry’
The latest single from Surrey band K Maybe, ‘Skin Hungry’ reflects on feelings of loneliness and that longing for human touch with a driving, relentless energy. As screaming guitars are juxtaposed with the delicate sense of melancholy that oozes through the lyrics, it offers an instantly catchy slice of stirring alt-rock. (ML)

Frances Murray – ‘Adults’
Essex-born, Brighton-based musician and producer Frances Murray – who used to go by the name BLAB – is back with brand new music! This single ‘Adults’ is taken from her upcoming debut solo album, Dreamer, which she’ll be self-releasing on 10th April. It’s a witty take on her “quarter life crisis” – something anyone over the age of 25 can definitely relate to. (KC)
