STAFF PICKS

Blind Girls – Dissonance (Single)
Label –
Persistent Vision
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Arguably one of the finest screamo acts in the genre, Blind Girls‘ harrowing sound makes its return on “Dissonance“. Brouwer‘s vocals are haunting in their anguish, that sit alongside dissonant chords that make for a hellish listen.

Daybreak – No One’s Coming (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Returning with their first single since 2021, Daybreak are back with an absolutely chaotic blend of nu-metalcore and dubstep, making for something that defies any predisposed opinions toward such sound to create something that is absolutely electric.

IOTA – Hollow (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Dobbin recommends: Shoegaze come post-rock upstarts IOTA continue to impress on “Hollow“, grunge-style expansive vocals backed by a blend of plucked and riff heavy guitars make for an earworm of a listen. If this is the route that IOTA are set to continue on, they should soon become a staple in the UK scene.

Out Of Love – World Peace (Single)
Label – Secret Friends Music Group
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Harry recommends: Dialling back on the breakneck pace of April’s “Tiny Brain“, British quintet Out of Love come out swinging with a biting yet lively and dancy punk banger in “World Peace“, standing up and ‘kicking back’ at all the shit the world throws at you.
