Space Goat – Eternal Return

Single | 05/04/2023 | Independent
Alternative Metal
Bendigo, Australia

In their latest single Eternal Return, Central Victorian quintet Space Goat deal with the déjà-vu effect that many parents have when bringing up their children. Reflecting on one’s own childhood and thinking of what one wanted to do different than one’s own parents, life reveals its cyclic movement. This dark and powerful Alternative Metal song is wrapped up in a psychedelic hull.

A month before the release of their new album Akrasia, Hessian trio Apewards invites us to the Last Dance. Heavy sounds that taste like desert dust and smell like sunburn define this massive track.

Groundlift – Bottleneck

Single | 07/04/2023 | Independent
Hard Rock / Progressive Rock
Boston, MA, USA

Groundlift’s Bottleneck is a sonic surprise bag full of bangers and musical fire crackers. Funky licks slide into heavy yet intelligent Hard Rock, and the chorus is a shiny anthem of self-empowerment. Three musicians, each of them highly talented and skilled create an energetic next-level sound that merges Funk, Pop, Prog and Hard Rock.

Django Jones and the Mystery Men – Date Night at Joey’s

Single | 07/04/2023 | Independent
Alternative Rock / Post Punk
Sheffield, England

Django Jones and the Mystery Men take the nihilism of 1970s Punk Rock, stir it up with the gloom of 1980s Post Punk and finally serve it as a tasty dish on a heavy plate of 1990s Alternative Rock. Got hungry? Then you will enjoy this sarcastic take on friendship called Date Night at Joey’s.

Lo! – The Gleaners

Album | 07/04/2023 | Pelagic Records
Sludge Metal / Post Hardcore
Sydney, Australia

On their new longplayer, Sydney’s Lo! draw parellels between the medieval practice of gleaning and contemporary society. The sound that the quartet provides on The Gleaners is a merciless mélange of brachial Sludge and razor-sharp Post Hardcore. Lo! reflect the grimness of life ideally with their music.

I am the Unicorn Head & 9 o’clock nasty – The Worms

Double Single | 08/04/2023 | Independent
New Indie / Post Punk
Saint Austell / Leicester, England

When life gives you worms, you might want to ask why the heck life gave you worms – unless you are a biologist doing research on worms. Somewhere between Dream Pop and panic attacks, between Indie Rock and daydreaming, 9 o’clock nasty and I am the Unicorn Head have teamed up to create two versions of this angsty psychedelic track. Here are The Worms!
