Carter Brady - Feels You

2026-11-09T09:50:38.293+00:00

Riding the high of his sophomore record Shopping Cart, NYC singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Carter Brady is back with “Feels You”—a massive standout track from his new 13-song album, Add To Cart. Originally cooked up back in 2023, the track locks into a heavy, resonant Drop D groove that effortlessly blends the pop-punk energy of blink-182, the muscular alt-rock crunch of Foo Fighters, and the fuzzy, modern vibe of bands like Momma.

While Brady keeps his hands-on studio approach intact by writing the song and laying down all the thick, layered guitar work, "Feels You" takes things to the next level by tapping into the explosive chemistry of his live band. Featuring beastly drums from co-producer Sammy Wags and a driving low end from Michael Iaciofano, the track hits with tons of dynamic range and a sound that's perfect for the genre. Packed with insane guitar tones and an insanely catchy chorus that gets stuck in your head on loop, it's a great, high-energy performance from start to finish.

Greg Haptor - (I'm Not) Living in the Dark

2026-11-08T10:08:00.356+00:00

Los Angeles-based independent songwriter and producer Greg Haptor has built an impressive catalog topping 350,000 streams completely on his own terms—no label, manager, or PR machine required. With hit tracks like “Meant to Be” (75,000+ streams) and his acclaimed cover of The Cars’ “Drive” leading the charge, Haptor writes, produces, and plays guitar, piano, bass, and harmonica on every release. Drawing unhidden inspiration from icons like The Beatles, Paul Weller, Bob Dylan, and Burt Bacharach, his signature style pairs sticky, instant melodies with deeper, heavier lyrics exploring love, loss, and real life.

His sweeping new single, “(I'm Not) Living in the Dark,” is a gorgeous art-pop ballad tackling the end of a toxic relationship and the bright, hopeful horizon of new love. Recorded live in the studio for basic tracks before layering on overdubs and a sweeping real string section—with strictly zero AI involved—the track showcases Haptor’s knack for rich, authentic arrangements. Evoking classic Beatles-esque magic, the song steadily grows in emotional intensity, anchored by a quality performance and extremely catchy, heartfelt vocals that resonate long after the final note.

Berlin heavy alternative rock four-piece ZEIT DRIVER are set to drop their final single “Echoes” on November 6th, clearing the runway for their debut album [CTRL+Z] arriving December 11th, 2026, via Tonzonen Records.

It’s a powerful anthem about unplugging and breaking free from the digital pull that lingers long after the amps turn off. Paired with a slick music video, the track delivers a top-quality, high-octane performance packed with punchy, energetic vocals and razor-sharp guitar work that hits hard from start to finish.

MARTY FRIEDMAN: Return to European Stages after 12 Years

2026-11-06T16:17:54.608+00:00

The Mysterious Guitarist’s “Live Drama in Europe 2027” Tour
Takes His Breathtaking Latest Album “Drama”
to European Stages for the First Time

Tickets available HERE

Right after celebrating his upcoming Latin American shows with his latest single “2 Rebeldes (Spanish Vocal)”, the enigmatic guitar legend and Japanese pop culture phenomenon Marty Friedman finally announces his return to European and UK stages in April 2027.

Soon, a 12-year absence will finally be over, when Marty makes his long-awaited return in peak shape to bring the unique musical vision he recorded with “Drama” to life in its most irresistible and addictive form: as spectacular live performances that will see his guitars whisper, scream, weep and rejoice for his loyal fans and all guitar aficionados that decide to come along for the ride. With this stage-proven band of passionate performers, one thing is certain – European audiences will immerse themselves in an inspiring, uplifting musical experience that will stay with them forever or as Marty himself puts it: “The EU/UK ‘Live Drama in Europe’ tour is a must-see for music fans of all ages and types, as well as the most discriminating grade of guitar lovers. Prepare to find out how much fun a little ‘Drama’ can be.”

Following an intense intermezzo of ten shows in South America to fully relive his ground-breaking 1992 album “Scenes” live this November as part of the “Scenes – 34th Anniversary Tour”, and stops at the Hero Rock Festival in Korea in December as well as two more shows in Los Angeles on January 28 and 29, it’s time for his latest work “Drama” to receive its well-earned place in the spotlights for European concert goers.
Almost three years after its release in May 2024, the old continent can expect nothing short of spectacular, as Marty and his exceptionally skilled Japanese band have been touring and bringing out everything this incredibly multifaceted, moving album has to offer on stage – captivating audiences all across the globe night after night ever since its launch.

Fans who dedicated their own musical journey to exploring and finding the unexpected, the extravagant, and the exceptional in rock, metal, soundtrack and neo-classical music might very well be familiar with Marty’s numerous forays into a variety of genres, bands, and productions to date; his guest appearances on the latest albums by Rodrigo y Gabriela and Worm alone are enough to give a sense of the iconic guitarist’s wide-ranging interests and his expansive musical versatility. In Marty Friedman’s musical universe, no one is judged based on the genre they work in, but rather on their own vision and how they bring it to life.
With “Drama”, a circle closes and the seasoned composer and performer meets his younger self. Stepping away from his heavy-hitting, vivid “Tokyo Jukebox” series of records for the moment, Marty returns to the atmospherically dense ways that he once started on his critically acclaimed second album “Scenes”. 34 years later, he has evolved his composing along with the original vision to a whole new level of storytelling, making “Drama” play out its magic like an adventurous journey that takes you to places you’ve never been and lets you feel things that you’ve never felt, covering an intense range of emotions like only a true epos could.

Genres don't collide on “Drama”. They don't even exist anymore, as Marty carefully aligns their intrinsic means of expression, their varying degrees of intensity, their artistic methods and the anchor points that we seek, find and love in them, unifying them all through his own signature sound in one decisive moment in time and space for us.

Celebrating the iconic track's 70th anniversary, the latest single by No One You Know is a striking, inventive reimagining of the classic “Heartbreak Hotel.” Loping in like a scene straight out of a Tennessee Williams play directed by Quentin Tarantino, the track quickly morphs into a dark Neo-noir anthem for the brokenhearted.

Neal Morse & The Resonance share video for “Shine Until Tomorrow”

2026-11-05T09:35:23.937+00:00

Neal Morse & The Resonance share video for “Shine Until Tomorrow”

2^nd single from forthcoming album ‘River of Light’

Neal Morse & The Resonance have announced their return with their highly anticipated second studio album, River of Light, a powerful and deeply personal progressive rock journey, set for release 27^th November 2026 (InsideOutMusic). The album follows the acclaimed success of their 2024 debut No Hill For A Climber.

Now the band is pleased to share “Shine Until Tomorrow,” the second single from the album.

You can watch the video for the track now here: https://youtu.be/0RE9SXn08ZU

Neal Morse on the new single: “Love this track! I think Johnny and I wrote this together in about an hour. It was Johnny’s riff that opens the song, but when I played it on bass and put it through some effects, I think it really came out even cooler. Great band track all the way around.”

Johnny Bisaha further explains, “Real cool how this one came to life! I woke up the night before our first writing session at 3am, sang the riff into my phone, then went back to sleep. Woke up a few hours later, learned it, and wrote the first couple of verses! Brought it to Neal, and he had a chorus idea. We built that song real fast! Was an awesome writing process!”

****

When Neal Morse first announced Neal Morse & The Resonance in 2024, fans and critics were surprised to see the celebrated prog rock visionary collaborating with a group of exceptionally talented yet relatively unknown musicians. The resulting album, No Hill For A Climber, was met with overwhelming praise, showcasing a fresh creative chemistry that resonated strongly with audiences worldwide.

Now, just two years later, the band continues that journey with River of Light, an album that expands upon the musical and spiritual foundations established by its predecessor.

Reflecting on the project, Morse explains:

"Following the success of No Hill For A Climber and some really great live shows in the summer of 2025, we knew that we wanted to make more music together. We started kicking around ideas in October 2025 and ended up spending much more time on this record. At one point it looked like it might become a double album because we had so many ideas. Eventually, we trimmed it down to a single album, and I think it works great."

At its core, River of Light is a concept album centered on a spiritual journey, a theme familiar to Morse's longtime fans. This time, however, the inspiration comes from the often-overlooked biblical figure Terah, the father of Abraham. "Terah signifies someone who begins a journey with God but gets tired and allows sadness and resignation to keep them from going all the way," says Morse. "However, his son completes the journey."

Musically, River of Light represents a true collaborative effort. While Morse remains the band's creative anchor, the album highlights the significant contributions of guitarist Andre Madatian and vocalist Jonny Bisaha, whose influences bring a fresh energy and perspective to the material.

"On this album, you can really hear what these guys have brought to the table," Morse says. "Partly because of their ages, they're influenced by bands like Rush and 90s rock, which I think is really cool. We had so many ideas that simply fitting everything together and creating the right flow became a challenge in itself."

Watch the video for “Walk On Water” here: https://youtu.be/2l04dJ8aCds?si=2uFuJYOmHxb_Zl29

River of Light will be available as a Limited 2CD Digipak (featuring a second disc of instrumentals), Standard CD Jewelcase & Digital Album. Pre-order now here: https://nealmorse.lnk.to/RiverofLight-Album

Nothing Sacred - Your Time Will Come

2026-11-04T06:52:42.684+00:00

Starting back in 1983, Aussie metal legends Nothing Sacred unleashed a reign of sonic destruction across Australia's eastern seaboard, establishing themselves at the absolute heart of Melbourne's mid-80s metal and punk-metal scenes. From headlining the iconic 1986 Metal For Melbourne festival to dropping classic releases like the 1985 Deathwish EP and 1987 debut Let Us Prey, the band built an untouchable legacy. Decades later, they’re still firing on all cylinders—following up their 2021 full-length NoGods and 2023 EP LEVIATHAN with massive European tours and Australian support slots alongside giants like U.D.O., Metal Church, and Uli Jon Roth, before heading back to Japan in early 2026.

Their heavy-hitting single, “Your Time Will Come,” tells the intense story of a condemned man facing execution without a shred of regret. Sentenced to a brutal death, he stands completely unbroken—embracing martyrdom over submission and refusing silence to the very end. Musically, the track delivers a robust, high-caliber production packed with punchy, energetic vocals, a soaring solo section, and a killer chorus that gets instantly locked in your head. Powered by a brilliant, tight performance from the whole band, "Your Time Will Come" proves Nothing Sacred’s brand of pure metal power is as vital as ever.

Rising alternative rock outfit Cover Zero returns with their newest single, "Salutatorian," an electrifying rock ‘n’ roll number that challenges society's traditional measures of success while confronting the harsh realities of finding your place in the world.

Inspired by a friend's personal journey, Tyler Goldstein, the brainchild behind Cover Zero, explains, "This song is about people who spent their younger years working toward good grades and academic recognition, only to struggle later on when it comes to navigating life outside of school. They miss out on important experiences that help us grow, develop practical wisdom, and figure out what we're truly passionate about."

I love the riffs, the solo and the overall mood of the song, energetic and no frills. It's short, straight to the point and very enjoyable from start to finish.

TWIN DIVE blend classic 90s-infused alternative guitar rock, fueled with their pan-Scandinavian heritage and served with small doses of bravado along a confident stage presence.

The band commented on their new single, Sūkuriai: "This is a song about the challenges that inevitably arise in life, which—like whirlpools—are interpreted and accepted in this piece as natural phenomena. Although inevitably demanding and often unexpected, they remain merely natural phenomena or companions from which we can learn and grow. Musically, this time we revisited our “grunge” and “punk” roots, while infusing them with a modern sound, which in this song is most notably characterized by the use of a synthesizer."

Toronto-based alternative artist Sam Louis returns with his anthemic new single, “end times,” out now via Shamus Records. Pairing emotionally direct songwriting with textured guitars, atmospheric production, and a modern alt-pop edge, the Indigenous Music Award winner and International Songwriting Competition semifinalist channels global anxiety into an existential rock exploration.

Having racked up over 2.5 million streams alongside playlist placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday, YouTube’s Pop Before It Breaks, and Amazon Music’s Brand New Music, Louis continues to build serious momentum following a Top 50 run on Canada’s Got Talent, sold-out Canadian Music Week showcases, and high-profile sync placements.

Oister Boy - Remember Me

2026-10-30T06:43:36.075+00:00

Minneapolis grunge-punk five-piece Oister Boy are making serious waves with their frenetic energy, feral potency, and massive, thrash-infused sound. Formed in early 2022, the band has built a formidable reputation through a commanding live set, eccentric instrumental chops, a killer six-song EP, and even a run with a touring punk rock ballet. Combining raw power with undeniable charm, they stand out as one of the most exciting rock juggernauts on the scene today.

Their relentless new single, “Remember Me,” takes aim at the hubris and irony of legacy-obsessed, megalomaniacal jerks who constantly feel the need to assert their importance to the world while betraying who they really are. Written by drummer Seth Hynes-Marquette in his lead-songwriting debut for the group, the track showcases the band's multi-instrumental versatility—where every member writes, sings, and plays multiple instruments. Filmed across rural farmlands and abandoned homesteads in Le Sueur, Minnesota, the song's music video perfectly mirrors its rugged, anti-ego bite.

Delivering an explosive performance packed with heavy, dynamic guitars and a rock-solid rhythm section, the track hits with pure, unadulterated punk energy. Driven by stunning, aggressive vocals that channel serious Henry Rollins vibes, "Remember Me" is a fierce, top-tier anthem that grips you from start to finish.

For the past three years, Frigga Five has been dominating live stages, building a bulletproof reputation on explosive performances and an undeniably polished sound. Now, fresh off the release of their debut album, Machine Man, the band is locking in their status as a absolute must-see act.

Teaming up with two-time Grammy-winning producer Josh Monroy—whose impressive track record includes work with legends like OutKast, Ludacris, Elton John, Travis Barker, and Justin Bieber—the band pushed their sonic boundaries further than ever.

Loaded with dynamic shifts, grunge-heavy riffs, and a wild, psychedelic finale, the track is backed by stellar production that highlights every single mood change. Powered by a brilliant band performance, "Atom Bomb" delivers an intoxicating, high-octane ride from start to finish.

Seattle-area songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ray Baron captures the moody, late-night spirit of the Pacific Northwest with his striking single, “Nightcap Darling.” Masterfully blending alternative rock, gothic folk, blues, and theatrical experimental flair, Baron creates a atmospheric soundscape that feels both hauntingly intimate and deeply cinematic.

Driven by an intense, soaring chorus, incredible vocal delivery, and dynamic drumming, "Nightcap Darling" flows naturally with a classy, layered arrangement that proves top-tier from every single angle.

Logan Richard - Trying to Find Something

2026-10-29T10:58:14.292+00:00

Award-winning PEI singer-songwriter and guitarist Logan Richard is back with his catchy, upbeat roots-rock single, “Trying to Find Something.” Born right before a high-pressure, four-day studio session to track ten songs, Richard flipped a brutal case of writer's block into a clever, driving track about the frantic search for a truly original idea.

Steered by producer/percussionist Joshua Van Tassel, the song lays down a loose, propulsive groove channeling the laid-back cool of J.J. Cale and Eric Clapton, featuring a killer bass line from Afie Jurvanen (aka Bahamas). Holding down vocals, guitar, and Wurlitzer, Richard shrugs off heavy comparisons to icons like McCartney and Mitchell while chasing the right words. Packing a fantastic pace, an energetic yet melodic mood, a classy arrangement, and a top-tier performance, "Trying to Find Something" turns studio panic into an effortless, highly enjoyable banger that’s uniquely his own.

Chuck Lorre and Joan Jett - Top of Your Head

2026-10-28T07:10:00.649+00:00

Before legendary television creator Chuck Lorre brought the world an unprecedented string of hit sitcoms, he arrived in Los Angeles in 1976 with a single dream: writing songs that could stand the test of time. While he went on to produce over two thousand episodes of iconic TV, Lorre never stopped writing music. Now, 16 tracks pulled straight from his personal archives have finally seen the light of day on his album, Songs That Kept Me Out of the Big Time, released across all streaming platforms on October 23, 2026.

The standout track off the record, “Top of Your Head,” is a hard-hitting rock anthem about "admiring the view," brought to vibrant life by Lorre's longtime friend, the iconic Joan Jett. Blending funny, poignant, and scathing songwriting with pure rock 'n' roll attitude, the single shines with spot-on production and insanely catchy guitar riffs.

The track creates a brilliant dynamic contrast, pairing laid-back, calm vocal verses with a roaring, high-energy chorus that hits like a ton of bricks. Driven by Joan Jett’s unmistakable vocal power and pristine musicianship, "Top of Your Head" stands as a top-tier rock track that proves Lorre's first love was always right where it belonged.
