I Was Wrong - Alexandra Leaving
Alexandra Leaving steps into 2026 with her new single, ‘I Was Wrong’, a defiant track about reclaiming your power. Fresh from a run of live shows with her band, the London/West Midlands artist returns with a track that holds onto her trademark defiance but reframes it against a richer, melodic backdrop.
For Fans Of: Wolf Alice, Mannequin P
Shag Slags Not Flags - Cowboy Hunters
Aiming for the sea of Facebook keyboard-warrior racists who flood the internet, Cowboy Hunters are drawing a line between these hate-filled rants and the posters’ own inherent unhappiness and lack of sexual satisfaction on their latest track.
For Fans Of: IDLES, SOAPBOX
Mirror Mirror - Angelo De Augustine
After collapsing and being hospitalised with an undiagnosed illness in early 2022, the Southern California-based singer/songwriter endured an arduous journey of re-learning how to walk, talk, see, hear, play music, and sing again. He’s now telling the world his story, starting with Mirror Mirror.
For Fans Of: Billie Marten
WIRED - Basement
Basement is back, with the announcement of their first album in more than eight years. The first track, WIRED, alongside Broken By Design, set the precedent for what’s to come on May 8th.
“WIRED is about how sometimes it feels that we are set up to feel and behave in certain ways beyond our control. That no matter how hard you try to hide it, eventually it will come out - either by choice or by force.”
For Fans Of: American Football
Something I Said - HIGHDRIVE
Brighton-based shoegaze band HIGHDRIVE are making waves with their latest track Something I said. Produced by Coach Party drummer Guy Page, it’s a dissonant burst of alt-rock turbulence that channels the relentless inner chatter of self-scrutiny. The track surges with sheets of wailing guitar and a thick, pressurised wall of noise, locking into a spiralling headspace of rumination and social-anxiety-fuelled tension.
For Fans Of: English Teacher, Do Nothing
