Drakulas’ new LP Midnight City (May 1 on Dirtnap Records / Wild Honey Records). Featuring members of Rise Against and Riverboat Gamblers, it’s a synth-punk / new wave burner with shades of Devo, Gary Numan, and LCD Soundsystem — weird, wired, and built for late-night repeat listens.

Rich Clark’s Wayward Sparrow: A Folk Debut from Detroit with soulful guitar.

Rich Clark has said that he creates music primarily for himself, but hopes that listeners connect with it in a way that keeps them coming back. That intention feels honest here. “Wayward Sparrow” isn’t chasing trends or trying to be everything at once. It’s comfortable in its own space, trusting that the right listeners will meet it there.

There is something quietly elemental at the heart of La Rivière Des Choses, as if it isn’t simply being played so much as allowed to pass through the room for a brief moment before continuing on its way. Raffaele Scoccia has always had a tendency toward introspection in his writing, but here that sense feels even more distilled.

And yet there is a contradiction running through it. For all its inward focus, the piece never feels small. Inspired by ideas of time, memory, and the movement of history, La Rivière Des Choses carries a sense of scale that is almost cinematic in its emotional reach. It’s a meditation, yes, but one that keeps glancing outward, aware that the personal and the universal are never really separate things.

Stockholm-based songwriter and producer Vydoo (Peter Björkman) returns with “Tangled In You”, a synth-pop and K-pop influenced single exploring intense infatuation. Featuring UK vocalist Victoria Grant, the track blends nostalgic pop textures with polished modern production, while Vydoo maintains an intentionally anonymous, music-first identity.

The Copenhagen-based alt-pop artist insists on having her own voice in a system that constantly pressures you to fit in. Her new single ’the perfect selfie’ captures the quiet burden many young people grow up with and challenges the idea that perfection is something to strive for. Out Friday, April 10, the track arrives ahead of her upcoming album ’I’d love to be a star, but I’m tired as fuck’, set for release later this year.

"After great success with their Real World Records single “I Rise”, their worldwide hit “TAKEITALL”, as well as their cover of “Hole In The Sky” honoring the late Ozzy Osbourne- they are back with another head banger. “Dark Horizon” will be Plastic Rhino’s heaviest song to date with the most amazing and brutal breakdown. Lead singer Atara Glazer mixes the perfect balance between brutal fry screams and beautiful singing melodies throughout the song, meanwhile Jack Glazer, the co- founder of Plastic Rhino, is also debuting his fry scream vocals on the song as well as his signature guitars and bass playing."

If anywhere needs a reminder to slow down right now, it’s…well, everywhere. Life moves fast, days blur into one another, there are so many distractions, and the idea of stopping, even for a moment, can feel like a luxury. But sometimes, all it takes is the right song to shift your perspective and to bring things back into focus, to remind you what actually matters.

The award-winning country pop singer-songwriter has unleashed one of her most uplifting and infectious songs to date. "This Is Where" is the reflective breakup anthem we all need to hear!

“I used to rent a tiny 5×5 room in Brooklyn for $200 a month,” recounts lead singer, Jacob Wunderlich. “It was basically a closet, but it became my creative refuge. I wrote a ton of songs there. That little room was my ‘place I go.’ I hope everyone has somewhere like that, a space where they can find peace.”

Part memoir, part travelogue, and part meditation on connection, Too Many Miles traces Byrnes’ decades-long journey touring across the United States and Europe. Unlike many rock memoirs that focus on celebrity excess or backstage drama, Byrnes’s stories unfold in smaller and more intimate spaces such as house concerts, local radio studios, community gatherings and the living rooms of people who open their homes to travelling musicians.
