Spite – Made to Please (Single)
Label – Rise Records
Genre – Deathcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Max recommends: Spite return in typical Spite fashion with three minutes of pure, unadultered brutality. The addition of Baby J (Darko, ex-Emmure) on drums has clearly done wonders as “Made To Please” weaves in and out effortlessly between fierce grooves and brutal blasts, making for one of Spite’s most impressive songs to date.

In Hearts Wake – Dogma (Single)
Label – UNFD
Genre – Progressive Metalcore
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dallis recommends: In a groovy track delivering both bark and bite, the collaboration of Alpha Wolf‘s Lochie Keogh and In Hearts Wake is a fit to keep your earworm longing for more and sure to keep your head bobbing.

American Football – Rare Symmetry / Fade Into You (Singles)
Label – Polyvinyl Record Co.
Genre – Midwest Emo

Joe E recommends: American Football covering Mazzy Star was a crossover I never expected, however the beautiful rendition with Miya Folick has made me highly grateful for it.
