Xdinary Heroes have released their brand-new 8th mini-album ‘DEAD AND’ and given one of its highlights a stunning music video.

The track they have focused on is ‘Voyager’, a extraordinarially huge piece of rock music craftsmanship. From the soaring chords to the spine-tingling melodies, all wrapped up in an atmosphere that feels out of this world, the band have created a song made to scream from rooftops and played on the biggest stages this planet has to offer.

And the video matches the gravity of the song it accompanies, sewing beautifully awe-inspiring imagery alongside the band’s thrilling performance.

It showcases just how big the band are looking to go with this new era, and that is very exciting indeed.

You picked Fantastic Cat – Cat Out of Hell  as your favorite new release for the week of April 10, 2026.

Tonight was planned to be the first of many things for me: a new venue, three new bands I had never seen before, and watching Mark Shelly work for a change.

Cassyette is right back at it again, with a new track all about allowing yourself the space to make a mistake or two.

Titled ‘Oops (it’s a bad idea)’, it’s a pop-rock crossover of epic proportions, channelling the bright and breezy atmosphere of the early 00s with pulsating indie sleaze and modern flecks of electronica. A showcase of so many different layers of who Cassyette is as an artist.

And the sentiment of the song speaks those volumes too, with a tale of making those decisions that may sound bad on paper but will usually become definitive or revelatory. A reminder to jump in the deep end, take the chance, kiss the stranger, stay out that bit later, do something that scares you. You never know where it will lead you.

Cassyette had this to add, stating, “I think people could do with a little more ‘Oops’ in their life right now, honestly. It’s that mood of knowing it might be a bad idea and doing it anyway. Usually the best moments come from being impulsive and yeah… if it all goes wrong, you can always just say, ‘oops.’”

The track is the first new music from Cassyette since the release of her deluxe album ‘This World Still Fucking Sucks’, which arrived in November of last year.

Here is ‘Say My Name’:
