Selfish Things have shared their first new music in four years, and it serves as a stark look at the first hurdles of recovery.
The song is titled ‘Sunlight’ and finds vocalist Alex Biro even more confessional and stark than he has ever been before, which is saying something. Musically, the song is alt-rock at its most atmospheric and lingering, whilst lyrically it delivers a stream of consciousness in quick time. A mesh of thoughts, feelings and outbursts that are so often associated with isolation, which in the case of Biro, this comes from the start of his sobriety journey. Now four years clean and working as a sober coach and counsellor within the music industry, returning to the band in this way feels like a way to not just finally put those demons to bed but also show others what is possible. That it may feel awful now, but it does get better, even if it isn’t the way you think it will.
Here’s what he had to say about the song, explaining, “I don’t believe in being dishonest in my recovery. ‘Sunlight’ came out of a weekend six months into my sobriety when I’d come to realize that being sober didn’t mean happiness, peace, or calm. They don’t tell you in the hospital that things typically get worse in the first year before they get better. You’re left to take stock of how far you fell from who you were meant to be, and how much you let those you loved (and by proxy, your friends, bandmates, and fans) down in the process of self-immolating”.
“I had never wanted to live and die more at the same time. I had never felt the searing reality of how far I’d fallen from the mountain I’d climbed. ‘Sunlight’ to me is an attempt to triumph over the void of the hole I’d created in my own spirit”, he added. “A meditation on what it means to be painfully human in front of the world. To be fallible, to make mistakes, and to drink the dirtied water from a well you poisoned yourself.”
The song follows on from 2022’s ‘Newman’, which sounds a lot like this.
The legendary Social Distortion have announced the details of their 8th full-length, which is also their first in 15 years.
It’s going to be titled ‘Born To Kill’ and will be unleashed on May 08 via Epitaph. It follows on from 2011’s ‘Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes’ and is the band’s first body of work since vocalist/guitarist/founder Mike Ness recovery from cancer.
The band have released a video detailing Mike’s journey and how it led to the creation of this record.
The artwork looks like this:
You can also hear the first taste of the record right now in the form of the title track. A rollicking, rallying, righteous piece of classic American punk-rock brilliance, it is everything that has made the band such an institution over the last 40 years. As anthemic, powerful and defiant as you would expect, it feels even more poignant knowing what the band have been through to make it a reality.
The band are going to be making their way around Europe this Summer, and here is where you will be able to catch them.

For the UK and … Continue reading Whitechapel and Sylosis team up for massive 2027 UK and Ireland co-headline tour
As a rising hip-hop star turned multi–platinum album singer, he established himself in pop-punk and alternative rock around the world. Colson Baker, also known as Machine Gun Kelly, performed his first gig at The O2 Arena in London during his Lost Americana tour.
Known for his beef with Eminem and for dating arguably the most beautiful woman on the planet, this 35-year-old has received a lot of negative press. But when you remove the media and peel away the persona, there is so much more to Machine Gun Kelly.
The stage name Machine Gun Kelly, or MGK, is derived from the nickname of Prohibition-era gangster George Kelly Barnes. Starting the gig with a bang, the song Outlaw from his latest album felt poignant. Flashes of his branded red and pink colours lit up the iconic stage. This song took the crowd on a metaphorical road trip, with sing-along lyrics, spirited energy and the feel of an adventure.
MGK has a way with words. Regardless of whether you enjoy his pop rap, hip hop, or post-punk sound, he is a true storyteller. From the 35 songs MGK performed at The O2, there was a flow of rapid rap, rebellious energy, and a raw, vulnerable stream of consciousness that flowed like harmonious diary extracts, yearning to be understood.
Rising star and guitarist Sophie Lloyd was also seen performing. Since joining MGK on tour in 2022, Sophie has been involved in some fantastic projects. As you focus on her performance, the fan-favourite track Bloody Valentine bursts into action. Everyone immediately cannot help but visualise the incredible music video – you know the one! This song was a huge hit during the 2020 lockdown and remains the anthem that energises and brings smiles to fans’ faces.
In the midst of the gig, a medley of British icons was featured, ranging from Phil Collins and Freddie Mercury to The Beatles. This could have seemed like an afterthought to fill time, but with seven studio albums to his name, that was not the case. This homage to British music only made him all the more charming.
As a classic pop-punk genre, MGK is characterised by his fast-paced, energetic tempos and emphasis on storytelling. His pop punk songs show prominent influences from other punk-variant genres, which were inspired by 1960s innovative pop bands such as The Kinks, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles.
There were personable, touching moments throughout the gig where MGK made minor mistakes, ones most would not have noticed. However, he did not hesitate to expose them, making him more real, more human.
Maybe this was his defence mechanism, and having received much negativity, he calls himself out before anyone else can. To the crowd, this only made him more likeable, engaging, and even endearing. The entire gig felt like a portrayal of his life, championing great songwriting alongside his anti-authoritarian stance. But with such clever songwriting, depth, and an arrangement of wordplay and complexity, it makes him a true artist.
Misunderstood, criticised, and frequently ridiculed, Machine Gun Kelly’s true talent lies in awe-inspiring lyrics, breaking down cleverly chosen words into syllables that leave an impact. Turning his most intimate thoughts and exposing them, poetically, to the world.
Love him or hate him, there is no doubt that his storytelling, persona, and goofy, shy kindness make him a special artist. Personable, playful, and passionate, this gig was a rendition through all his mistakes, his flaws and his inner demons.
To the passing of his father, to his undeniable love for his Twin Flame, this entire gig took you on an emotional, expressive, poetic journey.
Every Nordic Giants album is highly anticipated. Over the past 15 years, they have delivered music that reaches deep into the soul, exploring sounds of the cosmos and soundscapes of cinematic majesty that transcend mere mortals. Combined with their ever-stunning visuals in their live shows, it is no wonder that the duo of Loki and Rôka continue to command such respect in the post-rock genre.
Described as a construction of emotional constellations, there is no doubt that Under Celestial Alignments is a work of master craftsmen who will inspire, confound, and bewitch the listener in equal measure.
Opener Logos, title drawn from the ancient Greek Logos, the ordering principle, begins the sonic journey with a slow building level of emotions with gentle piano and calmly delivered percussion before the song builds into a majestic crescendo. It is the gateway into the rest of the album, and it only gets better from here on.
What this enigmatic duo manages to create on each offering is more than just music. If you have ever seen them live, then you will know that the cinematic feel of their pieces can move you on every plane. Intimate passages weave through shimmering elements that use repetition in a comforting manner. This is music that wraps itself around you and holds you tight. Melancholic but warming in every sense, this is very much the sense of Undertow, a gentle aural massage which you will never tire of receiving.
This mood continues in Torus, the geometric definition of which is a surface or solid formed by rotating a closed curve, especially a circle, about a line which lies in the same plane but does not intersect.
Beautifully layered, the piece is tinged in sadness through which you can draw your own emotional journey. It allows you to draw your own reflections as the song folds back on itself. It should be truly magical when performed live.
Red Falls is evocative, the astronomy flow from hydrogen-alpha emission. It is a track compared to a dying star shedding matter as it collapses. You can create that image as it gently segues into Raith, with its delicate, fragility once more tinged with a melancholy that fades ghost-like in the shadows.
As the Nordic Giants album progresses, so the immersion into it deepens. In the Half Light conjures the breaking dawn, whilst the dramatic elements of Reaper, with its low major key piano, build tension. Once more, there is time to pause, to reflect on the quality that two musicians can bring with their almost orchestral sound.
It is another cinematic masterpiece that swells with majestic intent. At times, the drumming and percussion are intense, yet it never overwhelms. The piano fighting its corner in a tense harmonic combination.
Two tracks to finish, and it is the longest song on the album that is next. Clouded Minds shifts the atmosphere with an underlying urgency that pressures the tempo. Grandiose piano and repeated riffs add depth, the melody seductive and compelling. Epilogue Seren (Welsh for star) provides the conclusion with time and space, a steady passage providing opportunity for reflection, for perspective, and peace.
It is hard to find the right words to describe this musical release, for Under Celestial Alignments is more than just another album. It is a mediation, a passage through the cosmos, providing moments of hope amongst the melancholy.
Immersed in post-rock rituals, it is an experience that will transcend so well live. The Nordic Giants are out on the road very soon. I, for one, cannot wait to experience this with them.

WHITECHAPEL‘s Hymns In Dissonance finds the band reinventing themselves, going darker, deeper, and heavier than ever before. Revolver lauded “a blistering attack of ground-fissuring blasts, terror-thrashed guitar melodies and guts-hucking mosh sections.” Metal Injection concurred noting, “it’s heavy as shit, it’s unrelenting, and it will destroy you.” MetalSucks championed, “one of WHITECHAPEL’s heaviest offerings since the glory days of The Somatic Defilement and This Is Exile,” adding, “It captures that same raw energy and mouth-frothing rage in a way that… hasn’t been seen for quite some time, but with a new and improved modern twist borne of the nearly twenty years of experience they have accumulated since then,” while Blabbermouth hailed the band’s “…white-knuckle, weaponized deathcore with brains, brawn, and a point to prove. Hold on to your helmets.”
The record earned the #2 position on Billboard’s Current Hard Rock Albums chart, #3 on Independent Label Current Albums chart, #4 on the Current Rock Albums chart and #7 on the Digital Albums chart upon its first week of release.
Hymns In Dissonance is available now on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.
