The ska/punk legends The Suicide Machines from Detroit, Michigan, are back with their first new music since 2022.

She Is Jules transforms vulnerability into a hypnotic dark-pop moment with Dizzy Spells, turning the disorienting effects of vertigo into a compelling sonic experience. Built on sleek, chill production and moody textures, the track mirrors its theme through a subtle sense of imbalance and emotional tension. Her vocals remain intimate yet controlled, guiding the listener through a swirl of sensation and reflection. Anchored by an infectious, lingering chorus, it balances heaviness with accessibility, resulting in a polished and deeply personal track that resonates long after it fades.

Brayell and DreamHoppers craft a smooth, introspective groove on Seasons, a mellow boom bap track that blends dusty drums with rich, jazz-tinged textures. The production feels warm and organic, setting the stage for Brayell’s reflective lyricism as he navigates the emotional cycles of a relationship through shifting seasonal metaphors. His delivery is calm yet expressive, balancing vulnerability with clarity, while the melodic hook adds a subtle catchiness that lingers. It’s a thoughtful and well-balanced piece, where classic hip-hop foundations meet a modern, soulful sensibility.

The Dead Krazukies return with new single, a powerful blend of melodic punk and metal, creadfted between rage

Boundaries have revealed all of the details of their hotly anticipated new album, the follow-up to 2024’s ‘Death Is Little More’.

It’s set to be called ‘Yearning: The unbeautiful after’ and will be unleashed on July 17 via their new home of Sumerian Records.

Vocalist Matthew McDougal had explained where the album has come from and what it represents for the band, stating, “With the record, we aimed to be uncompromising and really plant our flag. As more time passes, heavy music continues to lose its teeth. This genre is supposed to be threatening; it should have an edge and make you feel something. We tried to create an album with urgency.”

“The title, Yearning, is base level. What do you want from life, relationships, or whatever you spend time on? Time is the only resource with any real value; it’s the only thing you can’t get more of. You should deeply consider anything you choose to spend time on. The subtitle, the unbeautiful after, refers to the eventuality of what you’ve spent your time doing. The main questions are ‘What did you give yourself to? What is important to you? Where did it lead you?’”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting looks a bit more like this:

1. Malconscience
2. Skies cast amber black
3. May this pain never leave
4. Torn open wide (ft. Make Them Suffer)
5. Bitter ash, bitter love
6. Unequal whole
7. Death will follow me
8. The leper’s ball
9. Crowned and crucified (ft. Landon Tewers)
10. Wasted angel
11. Evidence of extinction
12. Nothing, gathered
13. Only endless
14. Yearning: the unbeautiful after

The band have also shared a new taste in the form of ‘Death will follow me’, which is as unrelenting and unhinged as it comes. A crushing wave of noise, bolstered by screams of anguish and the sort of breakdowns that split the skin, it is impossible to escape the weight of the song. And considering what the track is about, it’s understandable why the band would want to create such an atmosphere.

Matthew had this to add:

“This time last year was one of significant sorrow for this band and many others. The tragic accident that took the lives of our friends so suddenly has since had us in a state of perpetual mourning. The evidence of such and of life’s unforgivable violence is found throughout this newest album. ‘Death will follow me’ merely begins to scratch the surface of this concept and its grief ripples throughout this entire record.“

You can also hear the previously released ‘Skies cast amber black’, too:
