NOT MYSelf’s inside lives in an alternative art rock space where vulnerability and uncertainty sit alongside a quietly uplifting sense of movement. The track has a deceptively simple structure, but there is enough emotional and sonic detail underneath to keep it revealing more with each listen. NOT MYSelf balance melancholy with a sense of inner strength, allowing the song to question identity and self expression without becoming overly heavy. The vocal delivery carries that tension naturally, moving between confidence and doubt while the arrangement gives the emotional shifts room to breathe. There is something refreshingly direct about the songwriting, with the music feeling poetic and personal without losing its accessibility. inside captures the uneasy process of looking inward and trying to remain honest with what is found there, turning that uncertainty into something expressive, atmospheric and quietly powerful.

Look inside, find the noise, and make it art.

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.”

Check it out below:

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.
