Listening Now : Glass Fade – Fire In Reverse
Glass Fade ignite with cinematic intensity on Fire In Reverse, a driving indie-alt centerpiece fueled by emotional tension, restless momentum, and sharp lyrical introspection. Built around pulsing rhythms and rock-edged energy, the track captures the haunting realization that some things never truly burn out — they just smolder quietly beneath the surface. Glass Fade balance atmospheric textures with immediate hook-driven urgency, creating something equally suited for headphones, highway drives, and emotional late-night spirals. The chorus lands with real weight, turning memory and regret into something visceral and physical. Fire In Reverse is powerful, immersive, and impossible to shake once it catches fire.

Album Review: DeadWax – Nu-k
Album Review: DeadWax – Nu-k
Reviewed by Matthew Williams
Having had the pleasure of seeing Yorkshire’s rebel rousers Deadwax a few weeks ago in Stockport, when they supported Blackgold I immediately grabbed the opportunity to review the promo when it became available, as they’d whetted my appetite that evening.
Let’s put this in context to begin with, if you don’t like an explosion of heavy bass, rock guitars and UK rap, then you aren’t going to like this album. This quartet are an infectious bunch with boundless energy which you discover when that guitar riff drops on opening track “Famous Style”. You get exactly what you hope for, with frontman Jake Milburn commanding from the start, but as I sort of expected, it’s different hearing them on record than it is live. The intensity levels aren’t there and the sound is cleaner, however, when I listen to “Bang On” and “Shook” two songs they performed when I saw them, you can easily sense just how crazy their live gigs must be due their awesome beat drops, hardcore, spitting lyrics, which are all wrapped up in a punky aggressive attitude.
On stage, vocalist Milburn described their sound as “nu-metal with a UK flavour” and that northern tongue is in full affect across this album. If this means rap-rock is back in favour, then I’m all for it, but there’s a drop in tempo during “Aftershock” which changes again on “Frequency” allowing them to showcase more of their talents as the track crosses a few genres with a mix of tones. There’s a guest appearance from Pengshui’s Illaman during “Hit Back” as they take a pop at the AI generated, blue ticked musicians who can’t handle the live setting with the more laid-back vibe showing their versatility.
The raucous nature of their music comes back with a vengeance on “Big Man” as the grime inspired words come flooding out of the frontman. This is where the band are at their best, with a heavy drum sound from Ben Millington, complimented superbly in the rhythm section by bassist Solomon Price which allows the guitar sound of Henry Skinner to pop off at different angles. I don’t quite understand the point of “Bigger Man” at the end, all 27 seconds of it, but it shouldn’t detract from the fact that this is a cracking album which will put Deadwax and their alt-grime/nu-metal music firmly on the UK map.

Listening Now : Trevor Sloan – Barcelona
Trevor Sloan drifts gracefully through nostalgic folk-pop and cinematic dreaminess on Barcelona, a warm and quietly transporting song filled with intimate vocals, soft acoustic textures, and vintage synth glow. There’s a gentle melancholic beauty running beneath the breezy arrangement, giving the track the feeling of an old postcard rediscovered years later. Sloan crafts atmosphere with remarkable subtlety, allowing every melody to breathe while maintaining an emotional pull that lingers long after the song ends. Barcelona feels timeless and deeply human — reflective, delicate, and soaked in faded late-summer light.

Listening Now : Ambrose Amuro x Amuro Ray – NIAGARA FALLS
Ambrose Amuro and Amuro Ray deliver an intense and emotionally overwhelming debut with NIAGARA FALLS, a compact explosion of nu-gaze textures, submerged melodies, and crashing alt-rock energy. Washed-out guitars and vulnerable vocals collide in a haze of grief, longing, and emotional collapse, creating a sound that feels both massive and deeply intimate. The track constantly teeters between restraint and total release, mirroring the sensation of standing at the edge of something impossible to contain. Paired with an excellent, visually striking video, NIAGARA FALLS becomes a fully immersive experience — moody, cinematic, and emotionally devastating in all the right ways.
“...I stare off into the night
And watch the waterfall come to life
Your aura like a Gemini
Double sided, make up your mind.“ -
Listening Now : Flowers for Juno – Dolphin Girl
Flowers for Juno blur the line between dancefloor pulse and dreamlike melancholy on Dolphin Girl, a hypnotic fusion of gothic rock, shoegaze textures, and shimmering synth-pop atmosphere. Beneath layers of fuzz, reverb, and tape-hissed romanticism lies an undeniably groovy core, with pulsing rhythms and hazy melodies giving the track a seductive late-night momentum. The band balance darkness and euphoria effortlessly, creating something that feels both emotionally distant and strangely intimate. Dolphin Girl is immersive and beautifully transportive, wrapping shadowy post-punk moods inside an irresistibly danceable haze.

Listening Now : Yugs – TIED UP (feat. sunstoney)
Yugs channel urgency, empathy, and explosive indie rock energy into TIED UP (feat. sunstoney), a soaring anthem driven by emotional conviction and raw melodic force. Beneath the crashing guitars and cathartic hooks lies a powerful sense of solidarity and resistance, giving the track weight far beyond its immediate infectiousness. The chemistry between Yugs and sunstoney elevates every chorus, balancing vulnerability with defiant passion in a way that feels both intimate and communal. Paired with its politically charged visuals and activist spirit, TIED UP proves that indie rock can still hit hard emotionally while standing firmly for something bigger than itself.
