In two weeks – on 6 September – this Danish Herculean rock trio unleash
their debut LP ‘No Weather, No Cry, The Desert Don’t Lie’ with the world.

But first another piece off the LP.

Burn Out Bright is about “chasing your dreams is like standing on the edge of a cliff,
you got to be willing to jump, leaving everything behind. The sacrifices are part of the
game. But it’s worth it, because when you’re up there, living your dreams, nothing else
matters.”

It’s a powerhouse of a belter.
Big emotions, big sound, big tune.

Watch/listen.

2. ‘Holiday’ by HELMET (NYC)

NYC’s eminent metallic noise heroes are producing
deafening stuff for over 3 decades now.

On 10 November commander in chief Page Hamilton
and his crew unleash their 7th LP baptized Left .

To start the countdown they dropped the lead single Holiday.
A rambunctious scream-along and head-bang along haymaker.

3. ‘Crawlers’ by FAMILY MAN

These punk-rooted misfits make noise since 2019. Following
their 2022 debut EP What’s New they just released their 3rd
single of 2023.

“Crawlers explores the idea of a toxic relationship and the line between
symbiosis and parasitism. The earth-shattering conclusion that we are
also at fault can be just as devastating, as we see ourselves ‘becoming
a crawler too.'”

Expect a slow-boiling and haunting rap-like rant that
creeps and crawls slowly but surely under your skin.

Wowzers.

5. ‘Your Side Of Town’ by THE KILLERS (Los Angeles)

This is Los Angeles‘ pop celebrities’ brand new single.

“With much excitement we present to you Your Side of Town. It’s got the ghosts
of a lot of the synth music that inspired us over the years. And yet, somehow, feels
completely our own. Now it’s yours. Turn it up!”

And? A killer of a synth-pop earworm, of course.

Bunga is a towering tour de force off the EP. A slow-burning torch

Somewhere between Alanis Morissette and PJ Harvey.

Wholehearted tension.
