As ever, all the tracks that make it onto the playlist are aces in my book but if I absolutely, positively had to pick no more than five to check out this week, it’d be these.
If you’re looking for new albums, all the new long-players I’ve spotted from emerging, independent, and DIY artists are here
single
Darcie Haven – A Good Man
Yet another sharp track from this fast-rising artist, gentle breezes of lyricism exploding into storms of wilder pop.
single
Zion Garcia – SCORPIO SWORD
Punk-as-hell foundations with a skyscraper of hip-hop sensibility built on top, titanically mad fun.
single
BIG NOTER – TALK STRAIGHT
Solo project from the hip-hop legend that is Briggs, channelling both Rage Against The Machine and, well, just pure rage.
SINGLE
divedown – Blame Game
I’m loving the high-voltage energy on this, a chaotic and tumbling roar of immedaite guitar-y fun.
SINGLE
Dead Witch – Rainbow
Great to have new music from Dead Witch, more swagger and strut per square inch than is usually advisable.
