Creeper have signalled the arrival of spooky season with a video for ‘Parasite’, celebrating the role of the fans in their incredible story.

Taken from the band’s latest album ‘Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death’, the ‘Parasite’ video places Creeper’s fans front and centre, showcasing their passion and dedication for the world they’ve created. From elaborate costumes and make up looks to those simply screaming along every word to the songs that mean so much to them, it’s a glorious celebration of what makes their community as powerful as it is.

Speaking on its creation, frontman William Von Ghould has shared:

“We realised pretty quickly that the real drama of these shows was happening in front of the band, in the crowd, rather than onstage. So Harry turned the camera around and focused on the people watching us. The video is really a love letter to the fans of this vampire era. The costumes, the dedication and the emotional connection people have with these songs have made this whole world feel far bigger than we ever could have imagined, and Harry has captured that perfectly.”

With the ‘Off With Their Heads!’ tour set to kick off in October, Creeper have also announced that their upcoming London show will be captured by longtime videographer Harry Steel for their first full-length live concert film.

On that news, William has said:

“We’re also very excited to announce that Harry will be making a brand new full-length Creeper concert film. This tour is set to be the most ambitious of our career, and we’re thrilled to have Harry there to capture it. We’ve never made a full live film before, so this feels like a pretty special opportunity to document this era properly.”

My Pet Fossil’s Michael P. Fossil comes charging in with a raw punk attitude, sharp guitars and a deliberately abrasive energy that refuses to smooth out the edges. The track feels restless and confrontational, channeling frustration into a fast moving performance that keeps the focus on attitude and directness. There is a strong sense of dissatisfaction running through the song, but My Pet Fossil turn that tension into something loud, immediate and darkly playful rather than simply miserable. The rougher production character works in its favor, giving the guitars and vocals a physical presence that feels close to the room. Michael P. Fossil has the spirit of a basement show pushed through a concrete wall, with enough melodic instinct underneath the noise to keep the track moving. It is punk music with personality, humor and plenty of bite.

Concrete, frustration and punk with a pulse.

Sleep Nation’s MANEATER feat. Sisters Mann brings a high energy alternative rock edge to the song, combining punchy guitars, driving drums and a modern production style with a darker, more theatrical atmosphere. The track moves with a confident groove, giving the familiar song a heavier and more contemporary character while keeping its central hook firmly in focus. The vocal interplay adds extra attitude, with Sisters Mann bringing another texture to the performance and helping push the track into a more dramatic space. Sleep Nation keep the arrangement tight and forceful, creating the kind of momentum that feels equally suited to a loud stage and a late night rock playlist. There is a playful sense of danger running underneath the polished production, while the guitars give the track enough bite to keep it firmly rooted in alternative rock. MANEATER feels bold, energetic and built to make an entrance.

A classic hook with a darker rock pulse.

Kid Bookie has shared another snapshot of his upcoming project ‘Cheaper Than Therapy II’, and this one features a very special guest from the UK rap world.

Following the pulverising trap metal frenzy of ‘H.A.T.E.’, Bookie’s latest single ‘Familiar’ highlights another side of his musical genius with the help of rap icon Lady Leshurr.

Dialling sown the aggression in favour of raw vulnerability, the track brings a deeply human exploration of love, loss and the painfully real complications that come with letting others into our lives.

Speaking about ‘Familiar’, Bookie has shared:

“‘Familiar’ is a song about how familiarity and complacency in your desired relations can be the catalyst to loss. Nobody has all the answers in love, and sometimes those answers come from a lot of loss; in life, love, lust and beyond. I started this whole record with Lady Leshurr in mind. I’ve been rocking with her for over 15 years and have only crossed paths musically a small number of times.  She came through with her most vulnerable self and delivered exactly what it needed.  Her honesty combined with the artistry she exudes.  I’m honoured she’s still by my side; I love her.”

‘Cheaper Than Therapy II’ is set to arrive on October 09 via FLG Records. It serves as the spiritual follow-up to 2021’s ‘Cheaper Than Therapy’.

Here’s what Bookie had to say about what it represents for him:

“Cheaper Than Therapy II is the closest thing to a full circle fuck you imaginable. After losing a home, a relationship, friends, family, agents, labels and more, there was a time I had no hope but a remnant of a dream and a small flame. ‘Cheaper Than Therapy’ was always about giving the underdog their moments, not just me. An underground artist bringing the legends and stars of rock and beyond into a melting pot of post-genre feeling and mood whilst asking them to bare their truths in audio format. Bringing through similar guests from Volume 1, CTT2 aims to show that through all life throws at you, whether you’re the maverick, the disruptor or able to bring the people together, doing it on your own terms for the sake of redemption was the therapy we all needed. Welcome to Cheaper Than Therapy II.”

Kid Bookie is also rounding out the year with a bunch of shows across the UK.

AiramFM’s The Impostor (Orchestral Version) expands its dreamy dark alt pop foundation into something much more cinematic and emotionally charged. Strings add a sweeping new dimension to the atmospheric production, giving the track greater depth while preserving the intimate quality of AiramFM’s layered vocals. The arrangement moves between fragile, shadowy passages and fuller orchestral moments, creating a sense of tension that mirrors the song’s exploration of feeling different, out of place and unable to quite connect with the world around you. AiramFM keeps the production immersive without losing the personal character at its core, allowing the emotional weight to build naturally through the combination of electronics, vocals and orchestral textures. The result feels both vulnerable and expansive, turning an inward experience into a dramatic soundscape that gradually opens up rather than simply exploding into grandeur.

Dreamy darkness transformed into cinematic intensity.
