STAFF PICKS
Ómoia – The Weight of Silence / All Monsters Are Human (feat. CJ Lev of Love Rarely) (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: Each genre has its peak potential, yet when they are fused, these peaks are often and unfortunately worn away. Ómoia‘s music swirls in an insane combination of emo, hardcore, pop and math rock, and every one of these influences is sharp and effective. This is a seriously rare feat that “Guillotine” and “All Monsters Are Human” sublimely demonstrate.
Past Fiction – Tarnished (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: Nothing short of absolutely vicious and violent, Past Fiction channel an energy akin to that of earlier material from END on “Tarnished“, that will scratch the itch of those looking for a sound that matches such a ferality.
Pleiades – CV5 (Constant Variation) (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Dobbin recommends: A lot of heart has been packed into “CV5” – Pleiades have the enviable talent to balance the polar opposites of midwest emo and post metal. It’s actually a double release day for the band as they also feature on Hidden Mother‘s new record, making today a brilliant day for UK post-somethings.
Upsetter – Distance (Single)
Label – Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)
Joe recommends: First impressing with debut EP DOOMGAZE, Upsetter now further impress with latest single “Distance“, that show cases grandiose vocals laced with introspective emotiveness and cleans that are an absolute delight to listen to.
