Welcome to this week’s edition of all the new metalcore, post-hardcore, alternative, and indie releases, as well as picks from our staff.
STAFF PICKS
Bad Omens – The Grey (Single) [FULL REVIEW]
Label – Sumerian Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: “The Grey” stands as one of the most infectious and fun tracks across Bad Omens‘ stellar upcoming third studio album, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND. Featuring biting guitar riffs; sublime, RnB-inspired verses; and one of the biggest rock choruses of the year thus far, “The Grey” is an absolute treat, and a fantastic single choice.
Tomberlin – happy accident (Single)
Label – Saddle Creek
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe E recommends: Tomberlin returns with another beautiful track which puts her in strong stead heading into the release of her sophomore record.
Bodysnatcher – E.D.A. (Single)
Label – MNRK Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dallis recommends: Bodysnatcher return, exploring what it means to go even heavier with an eviscerating experience in their new single “E.D.A.“.
Lucy Feliz – Forget Me Nots (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: “Forget Me Nots” is a fuzzy indie ballad for summer night bedrooms lit only by fairy lights and glow worms. It releases ahead of two dates for the band in Brighton and London.
