modern-day machines - Clean Break
Release Date: 5th January 2024

This could be a big year for these!
Adult Play - Ten Traits Every Successful Person Has
Release Date: 6th January 2024
Shropshire (google it) based Adult Play have released their fourth single. A single that encapsulates exactly what the band is about in less than 200 seconds of chaos. Funky bass lines, referencing local hotspots such as the bustling town of Evesham and a danceability that most modern rock bands couldn't dream of possessing. 'Ten Traits Every Successful Person Has' is what Don Broco would be if they were lobbed into the the hadron collider with the Chilis.
Frat Mouse - dirty word
Release Date: 5th January 2024
Taken from slap bang in the middle of their album flea house, 'dirty word' is a west-coast emo banger from Frat House, a band that seem to be maturing past the stigma that will forever haunt frats. The track is beatifully paced, combining the softer end of rock with those downbeat lyrics synonymous with the style, all brought together in a delightful little package that somehow makes the whole thing fill you with a sense of optimism.
The Tryals - Gray
Release Date: 5th January 2024
Another track taken from the middle of a new release, 'Gray' finds its way out of Collection from American screamo outfit The Tryals. The Chicago based band are combining a myriad of influences in their music, packing in the modern legends that they've adored and the result is a powerful song that soars and pounds in equal measure. Live, this is going to go massive.
