Last year, the dreamy Oakland shoegazers Welcome Strawberry released their sophomore album Desperate Flower. Today, they’ve followed that record with a relatively low-key EP, meant to accompany the LP and sensibly titled Floral Arrangements. I might like the band a little better when they’re in this acoustic-adjacent zone. In the Bandcamp description, Welcome Strawberry describe…
Grand choruses, captivating lyrics and emotional weight meet raw power and intensity in an album that clearly showcases the band’s evolution and ambition. As the follow-up to the acclaimed Imperial Dawn, REXORIA’s fourth album marks the beginning of a new era, where the sound moves between the darkness of war, social reflections, touching ballads and […]
Thirty years in, Good Charlotte are no longer interested in proving that they belong. As they step into some of their biggest live shows to date in 2026 – including a headline slot at Slam Dunk – Benji reflects on the importance of the band’s eighth album ‘Motel Du Cap’, self-esteem, survival and why the future feels sweeter than ever.
Fancy young British rockers the Last Dinner Party released their sophomore album From The Pyre last year, and they’ve been busy ever since. Earlier this year, they released their new song “Let’s Do It Again!” on the benefit compilation HELP(2). Later this year, they’ll open shows for Olivia Rodrigo, another artist who was on that…
With the blistering cacophony of 2024’s Loved By None, Hated By All still ringing in our ears, Danish death/metallic hardcore outfit strike back with a brand new single, “Die With Me.”

FRANK JULIAN Release New Single & Playthrough Video ‘Vecna’ – a Tribute to Stranger Things!
‘Vecna’
is the brand-new single by multi-instrumentalist FRANK JULIAN,
available now on all digital platforms via Volcano Records &
Promotion.
A versatile musician and composer with a rich and
respected discography, Frank Julian blends progressive rock with
visionary influences, earning a cult following within the international
independent metal scene, alongside significant streaming numbers and a
solid artistic career. Vecna marks his first release with the Italian
label Volcano Records and fully showcases the strength of a prolific and
imaginative creative mind capable of combining sophisticated
compositional structures with a powerful emotional connection to
listeners who seek high-quality music.

inspiration from the now-iconic universe of Stranger Things, the track
depicts an upside-down world where logic and common rules are
overturned, and absurdity reigns supreme. Within this apocalyptic and
dystopian landscape, Frank Julian delivers a multifaceted and dynamic
composition that guides the listener through an immersive journey into
the “Upside Down.”
Frank Julian handled the full composition and
production of the track, which is also available on YouTube accompanied
by a playthrough video:
