Furrowed Brow – Jill
Single | 03/03/2023 | Notes from Underground
New Wave / Post Punk
Manchester, England
With their new single Jill, Manchester’s quintet Furrowed Brow have provided psychedelic, krauty and definitely next level sound. You may call this Post Post Punk or Very New Wave – it is definitely unconventional. The B-Side TikTok Twat on the other hand brings back that snotty late 70s Punk feeling in the vein Abwärts.

Bleach Brain – The Collector
Single | 12/03/2023 | Independent
Post Grunge / Hardcore Punk
Liverpool, England
Tash, Hattie and Tom from Liverpool are Bleach Brain, and they have released their first studio single The Collector which was inspired by the eponymous novel by John Fowles. On a powerful and violent sound, the trio reflects on the story of a girl who got kidnapped by a man who wanted her to fall in love with him. This song about control and power is a legit banger of a debut.
