 STAFF PICKS 

Angel Number – The Fabric Speaks (Single)
Label –
Independent
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Electrogaze unit Angel Number make their long awaited return on “The Fabric Speaks”, packed with glistening synths and intricate drum grooves, layered with Vybiral’s expansive and soulful vocal performance. 

HORSEPOWER – Weightless (Single)
Label –
New Ethic Records and Life Lair Regret Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Naarm hardcore unit HORSEPOWER offer up a beefy and bruising showcase on latest track “Weightless.” Stomping drum toms power through the track with fierce riffs that are command by attitude-filled vocals, making for a concoction that will leave listeners glaring for a scrap.

Love Rarely – Mould|Whiplash (Single)
Label –
Big Scary Monsters
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Joe recommends: Love Rarely display their versatility in full fashion, with “Mould” showing the Leeds unit at their most heartfelt, and surprise addition, “Whiplash” filled with punchy vocals and a bass line that will snap listener’s ears off. 

Prompts – Edgerunner (Single)
Label –
Greyscale Records
(Spotify/Apple Music)

Jonathan recommends: Japanese-Korean metalcore unit Prompts are finally back with their latest single, “Edgerunner”. Their signature destructive sound is back on full display with a relentless assault of chaotic aggression. Balanced with a surprising injection of melody, Prompts demonstrates their impressive range yet again.
