The Fat Angel Sings

YHWH Nailgun are following up the breakthrough success of their 2025 debut album “45 Pounds” with a new LP that clocks in at just over 10 minutes. YHWH Nailgun have signed to 4AD and announced their first record for the labe. .The 10-song “Magazine” will arrive on June 11th and will be released via the band’s new label home, . They’ve been teasing new music for a while, even committing some unreleased tunes to video last week when they offered up “Give Blood,” “Ballerina,” and “Hips on a Wheel” live on The Adam Friedland Show—all of which appear on the “Magazine” track list.

YHWH also announced a slew of summer dates, which will see them bringing rototoms to cities across Europe, the UK, and Australia.

 The New York four-piece distil their sound into 10 tracks that pass in just 11 minutes, favouring immediacy and impact over convention.

What began as a raw duo has expanded into a tight unit, combining frantic guitars, punishing drums, stark synths and Zack Borzone’s unfiltered vocals. Opening with ‘Ghost of Love’, the album unfolds like a fragment of a larger signal—brief, intense and disorienting. Following their debut “45 Pounds“, this set strips things back further: leaner rhythms, exposed production, and lyrics steeped in religious imagery pushed to the fore. Built on instinct and improvisation, “Magazine” is direct, volatile and defiantly singular.

The band’s follow-up to last year’s “45 Pounds” will drop on June 11th.

We first crossed paths over ten years ago in a New York cafe, though neither of us knew it at the time. Meg was at a musical crossroads and had just agreed to join Kevin Morby’s band, excited and ready to talk the ear off whoever would listen, including the barista who, it turns out, was Emile. He was working there while navigating his own musical crossroads between playing in a band and composing more seriously.

Years later, we reconnected in Los Angeles through mutual friends. The moment we started sharing our works in progress, it was clear we were musically kindred, drawn to the same harmonic intricacies and emotionally resonant arrangements. It was only then that our chance encounter a decade prior came back to us — it all felt very aligned.

In the years since, we’ve recorded music and performed live together a handful of times. “Your Lemon” is the culmination of that relationship — something tangible and official: three songs, one from each of our catalogs and a cover of Ani DiFranco’s “Joyful Girl.” We’re both inspired by what we were able to create and excited for it to be out in the world.

Gentle Giant have announced a newly remixed and remastered reissue of their 1973 fifth studio album, “In A Glass House“. The band have also shared a brand new video for the track “Way Of Life”.

The new version has been remixed and remastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Eber Pinheiro alongside the band’s own Derek Shulman.

“When we made “In a Glass House“, we were pushing ourselves musically and creatively in every direction,” Shulman says. “Hearing the recordings again and being able to remix them with today’s technology has revealed details and textures that were always there but never fully heard. We wanted to present “In a Glass House” the way we always hoped it could sound, clearer, more dynamic, and true to the original vision. The detail in the performances really comes through in this new mix.”

“The Dolby Atmos and surround mixes really allow the listener to step inside the music. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear the album take on a new life while still staying completely true to what we created in 1973.”

The new reissue will be available on limited-edition 180g heavyweight clear vinyl as well as 180g black vinyl, as a CD, and a deluxe CD/Blu-ray edition featuring stereo, 5.1 surround sound, and Dolby Atmos mixes.

THE BAND FEEL is a living, breathing progression of rock. Drawing influence from music, poetry, and visual art of both yesterday and today, they are expanding the bounds of contemporary listenership across generations. Their sonic journey offers a live, euphoric experience that is visually and emotionally immersive, quickly establishing them as a mainstay in the rock world. In the last 12 months they have amassed over 100 million views and more than 500,000 followers across social platforms. Selling out clubs nationwide, they are emerging as a major force in rock.

Their debut LP, “What of Now“, produced by five-time Grammy-nominated producer Paul Moak, releases on August 21st, 2026. Listen to the lead tracks “Twice Alive” and “Better Days,” available everywhere now.

Hotly-tipped (by us, at least) St. Louis rockers The Band Feel are back with a new single that kicks off with the kind of riff Ritchie Blackmore might have come up with during Rainbow’s heyday, then proceeds to get blusier and wilder, veering into the kind of territory explored by Rival Sons at their most feral. There’s even an insouciant “Woo!” at one point, as if to emphasise that “Twice Alive” couldn’t be any more fun if it were covered in silly string, glitter and foam.

“What Of Now” out 21st August

Some musicians wear their political colours quietly. Tom Morello is quite clearly not one of those people, and with gnarly bangers like this to show for it, why would he do otherwise? Completed by System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian at the mic (not to mention Morello’s son, Roman, on additional lead guitar duties), “Adjourn It” makes a catchy opening case for his next solo album, turbocharged by the injustices of our age and a fuckload of moreish riffage. 

Clips from the film “SALT OF THE EARTH” (1954) are woven throughout the “Adjourn It” video to reflect the song’s theme of resistance in the face of prejudice and injustice. The film is based on a true story of Mexican-American miners fighting against labor exploitation, racism, and institutional oppression, and was made by three Hollywood executives blacklisted for their political beliefs. It stars real zinc miners and was one of the first ever truly independent films. SALT OF THE EARTH was a powerful act of defiance in its time and more than half a century later, its themes continue to echo through today’s political climate. “Adjourn It” channels the defiant legacy of the film reinforcing the importance of solidarity in bringing people together against fear and division.

May 30th, 2026, marks the 62nd birthday of the legendary Tom Morello, one of the most influential and innovative guitarists in rock history. Best known for his explosive, genre-defining work with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, Morello completely rewritten the rulebook of guitar showmanship. By transforming his instrument into a turntable-mimicking sonic weapon—utilizing innovative toggle-switch scratching, custom effect pedals, and boundary-pushing heavy metal riffs—he cemented his legacy as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and a true icon of his generation.

Beyond his peerless musical pedigree, the Harvard-educated musician has dedicated his life to grassroots organizing and social change. From co-founding the Axis of Justice non-profit alongside Serj Tankian to fighting corporate exploitation, Morello’s activism remains completely inseparable from his art. His revolutionary fire shows absolutely no signs of slowing down; he recently dropped the blazing new protest track “Adjourn It” with his son Roman and Tankian, and is currently gearing up to curate and host the star-studded, activism-driven ‘Power To The People’ festival this October.

These young Brits have their hearts (and wardrobes) in the 70s, and a tour with Deep Purple in the diary for this year. Armed with rock’n’rollers like this bright-eyed number – kicked up with a touch of early Supergrass-esque breeziness – they shouldn’t struggle to pick up some new fans. “Hate To See It End” is about that moment when you feel something slipping through your hands,” the band explain, “when you know it matters, but you can’t stop it. It’s raw, it’s honest – and it’s about not following the crowd when everything in you says go your own way.”

“Hate To See It End’ is about that moment you feel something slipping through your hands… when you know it matters, but you can’t stop it. It’s raw, it’s honest – and it’s about not following the crowd when everything in you says go your own way”

Jayler are the fast-rising UK rock band igniting a new generation of rock fans. ‘Hate To See It End’ is taken from debut album “Voices Unheard”, a record already being hailed as one of the most important new rock releases of 2026. Blending the soul and swagger of classic rock with the urgency and emotion of modern youth,

The album features the singles ‘Riverboat Queen’, ‘Down Below’ and ‘Need Your Love’, with the latter hitting 1 million views in the first three weeks of release.

“Voices Unheard”   The eagerly anticipated new album will be released on May 29th 2026, via Silver Lining Music. Due to incredible demand and in celebration of the release, Jayler will host a series of exclusive album launch shows and in-store signing sessions across the country, giving fans the opportunity to meet the band up close, have their albums signed and capture the moment with photos.

Each event offers exclusive album-and-ticket bundles At a time when so much modern music feels manufactured and disposable, “Voices Unheard” stands as a defiant statement. This an album built to inspire arenas, unite generations and reignite belief in rock music again. Having already built a loyal following from their high-voltage performances, 2026 will see Jayler bring their unfiltered intensity to their biggest audiences yet. The band will join Sammy Hagar across the UK this summer before heading out on arena dates across the UK and Europe with Deep Purple later this year.

The band will be at Rough Trade, Nottingham (UK) 2nd June

“Voices Unheard”, will be released this Friday via Silver Lining Music.

Elder’s “Through Zero” is a nine-minute progressive metal suite that showcases the band’s signature blend of heavy riffs, melodic passages, and psychedelic textures, though some critics note its structure may feel overcomplicated.

2026’s “Through Zero” is a jump into Porcupine Tree/Portishead-like pensive Disco/Post-Rock territory with nocturnal-oriented soundscapes, some Drop C pentatonics akin to Mastodon and “synthwave” digital synth patterns (“Capture/Release”) in addition to more familiar Soundgarden/Opeth-like technical breakdowns (title track).

However, the material is too long to impress, and the over-reliance on off-metered “progressive” cerebral writing penalizes the listening in the long run.

“Through Zero” is the first single from Elder’s upcoming seventh album of the same name, set for release on May 29th, 2026 The track runs approximately nine minutes and is described as a layered, multi-movement suite that immediately establishes a gripping atmosphere with intricate riffing and melodic instrumentation 

Nick DiSalvo’s vocals are integrated smoothly, complementing the bright, expansive instrumentation and building toward an arena-prog peak without sacrificing accessibility 

Elder continues to blend progressive rock, heavy psych, and doom metal, drawing comparisons to bands like Baroness, Monolord, and Pallbearer 

The track features multiple distinct movements, instrumental breaks, and callbacks to earlier riffs, reflecting Elder’s mastery of hypnotic grooves, crushing riffs, and ethereal atmospherics, The album as a whole is expected to contain six compositions, maintaining the band’s tradition of long, immersive tracks 

This week, Dublin four-piece Gilla Band shared a new song, “Giraffe,” their first in almost four years, and have announced some new tour dates .

“Giraffe” is also available as a limited edition picture disc 7-inch on Rough Trade Records.

The hugely original and influential Dublin four piece will also be touring the UK / Europe at the start of 2027. “Giraffe” is the first new music from Gilla Band in nearly 4 years and to mark this the band are releasing a very limited 7” picture disc.

For over ten years now, the Dublin quartet — vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner — have been redefining what you could loosely call “rock music” in the 21st century, influencing a wide swath of similarly forward-thinking guitar acts along the way.

The band perfected a vision that wasn’t quite post-punk, wasn’t quite noise-rock, wasn’t quite anything besides an idiosyncratic, ground-breaking hybrid that could only come from the four of them – “Giraffe” is their bold new offering.

Gilla Band were formerly known as Girl Band, but changed their name in 2021. The band features vocalist Dara Kiely, guitarist Alan Duggan Borges, bassist Daniel Fox, and drummer Adam Faulkner.

Kiely had this to say about the single in a press release, in relation to what goes on inside his head: “It can be a very scattered and sometimes lonely place. Feeling unloved and finding it difficult to articulate what I’m actually thinking. The song’s outro indirectly details a kind of confirmation that affection toward me does exist. While I appreciate it, I still find that hard to believe.”

The band’s last album was 2022’s “Most Normal”. 

Ian Sweet (the project of Jilian Medford) is releasing a new album, Shiverstruck, on July 24th via Polyvinyl. This week she has shared its second single, “Jilian.”

Medford had this to say about the song in a press release: “‘Jilian’ is about the small mistakes that somehow make life feel both cruel and hilarious at the same time. Over the past few years, I’ve struggled to understand who I am when everything familiar feels farther away. This song became me speaking directly to myself, calling myself out and finally saying the things out loud that I’ve been avoiding. It’s about realizing I’m still still here and there’s still so much life left to live. This song feels like hitting the reset button.”

Previously IAN SWEET shared the album’s lead single “Criminal Kissing,”
