the great nothing – dirty dishes (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Max recommends: UK alt-metal exports the great nothing return with the follow-up to their debut single, “coming clean“. With George Lever and Nathan Smart yet again at the helm of production, “dirty dishes” is a valiant sophomore track from one of Britain’s most promising young bands.
Brutalligators – What’s Next (Single)
Label – How To Make Friends
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Sometimes you need a big dumb song to get you through the day. Midlands emo band Brutalligators return with an angsty track, featuring gang vocals contributed by the UK emo/indie community. The show is stolen by Luke Murphy whose singing is even better than on the debut album. The lyrics are a relatable mid-life self-evaluation through the lens of panic attacks and depression – in other words, our shit is absolutely not together, let’s party anyway.
DEVOIDANCE – Filth (feat. Volatile Ways) (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Nisrin recommends: After capturing attention with demo “Code Red“, DEVOIDANCE are back in 2023 with rager of a single “Filth“. Vicious vocals charge through the track, along with Emily Beekman’s (Volatile Ways) savage gutturals, it makes for one the heaviest tracks to drop this week.
