WHITE LIES Release New Album ‘NIGHT FLIGHT’ In November – Hear All 3 Singles (So Far) Here

Posted on by JL

15 October 2025

English power pop-rock trio WHITE LIES are heading towards
their 20th anniversary as a band. OMG! Time flies indeed.

They’re gearing up for their 7th LP, called NIGHT LIGHT. It’ll make their countless
fans jump in the air when it comes out on November 7th. Pre-order info here.

Press info: White Lies approached their seventh album with a fresh method: mastering the songs live before recording them. The trio decided to rehearse and refine the tracks together in a room before entering the studio – a reversal of the process of finding the true spirit of songs only after touring them.

Much of the album was recorded in frontman Harry McVeigh’s London flat, opting for simplicity over gear-heavy setups. They focused on songwriting and chemistry, relying
on their 17-year musical bond to shape the album’s energy.

Night Light spans progressive rock, disco, and synth-driven soundscapes, showing
a band both confident and creatively energized. The album closes with the pulsating
‘In The Middle’, showcasing their unity and matured artistry.”

Posted on by JL

24 July 2025

Nu metal champs DEFTONES are one of those countless bands that have
been around for decades (in this case, since 1988), disappear for some
years, come back, go on a long holiday and come back again.

It’s been 5 years now since they released
their latest longplayer Ohms. Yep, time
for another comeback.


Oops, scary album artwork

LP number 10, baptized Private Music
is ready to attack their fans’ speakers
from August 22nd on.

First single MY MIND IS LIKE A MOUNTAIN
is a terrifically emotive drill hammer.

And the album will, of course, be followed by live action.

On November 1st, the deafening tune veterans will
organise their 6th own, one-day festival, and in 2026
they fly to EU/UK to cause some sonic havoc.

THE NEW EVES – Brighton’s Folk-Punk Indies Release Their Debut Album ‘THE NEW EVE IS RISING’ On August 1

Posted on by JL

17 June 2025

Band: THE NEW EVES
Who: Must hear/see indies from Brighton (where everybody is in a band).
They cruise from folk to punk, using, besides traditional instruments (guitar,
bass and drums) also cello, flute, violin and other classical gear.

I saw them performing in Brussels 2 years ago.
It was a tremendous, ear-and-eye spectacle.

Album: THE NEW EVE IS RISING.
Their debut. It’ll be out August 1.
Pre-order info here.

Press info: “The New Eves merge folk, punk and ’60s garage into the pot. the sound sits somewhere between The Raincoats, the Velvet Underground with the repetition of Stereolab. Nestled somewhere between primal rock’n’roll live performance and transcendent ritual, there’s an unmistakable alchemy that happens.

The New Eve Is Rising is a lightning rod of inspiration channelled by
a quartet with the ability to create something greater than the sum
of their parts.”

Singles: The modern-day punk cry out Highway Man. wayward flute-guitar-drum hypnotizer Rivers Run Red, cacophonic chant The New Eve and the newest one
Cow Song.

14 May 2025

Even though Great Manchester‘s post-punk loners CHAMELEONS led
by mastermind, vocalist and bassist VOX aka Mark Burgess (now aged 65)
only made 4 albums since their birth in 1981, the band earned a devoted
following, which they expanded over the years with constant touring.

All those fans’ long patience for new material was rewarded last year with
5-track EP Tomorrow Remember Yesterday. You can stream it below.

And now the news just came in that Vox & Co have canned their first LP
in 24 years. It’s baptized ARCTIC MOON and will show up on Sept 12th.


Antwerp, Belgium – 5 Feb 2025 – photo by Turn Up The Volume

Vox (aka Mark Burgess) “Our new album is finally finished and being prepared for release. There is an obvious maturity to the songwriting on this record, while anyone familiar with our past work will hear that this is a positive step forward. “We’re really pleased with how the album has turned out and really looking forward to the challenge of performing songs from it live when we begin the ‘Arctic Moon’ tour.

For the first time, we’ve been able to use real orchestral strings on a couple of songs, which were arranged and performed by Pete Whitfield at Real Strings in Manchester. They have been given a truly epic quality, but we have every confidence our keyboard player Danny [Ashberry] will utilise all his skill to help bring this to the stage!”
