Kill Your Stereo

Well, there's been a few contenders that have happened this year already, but genuinely, this New Music Friday RULES hard.

If there's been a better new band that has begun their journey this year, I don't want to know about it. Floya are Marv and Phil, and they make the best floaty, ethereal music for people who are usually not into floaty, ethereal music.

2021's hottest heavy band, SPIRITBOX, have today announced the release of their first new music since their incendiary, chart-topping debut album, 'Eternal Blue' - and it's in the form of a 3-track single titled 'Rotoscope' + video!

Check into Hotel Underground now....

The UK band, who were recently announced as Good Things Festival headliners have dropped word that they will be releasing a new track 'sTraNgeRs' on 6th July!

Lorna Shore undoubtedly bounced back BIG TIME after a vocalist change - Will Ramos stepped in to the vocalist role for the band and they released To The Hellfire, which promptly went VIRAL AF on Tik Tok, and it became one of the most talked about snarls/vocals/piggie gurgles ever. Now, they've dropped a new single/video Into The Earth. Cop it below.

Sleeping With Sirens's Kellin Quinn has been guesting on *quite* a number of other bands' tracks in recent years, it's nice to hear new Sleeping with Sirens with a guest vocalist - and also that it's Spencer from Underoath, because frankly, Spencer's vocals rule.

We Came As Romans have released the news about the release of their new album, the first record since the passing of member Kyle Pavone. It will be called Darkbloom and it's due in October. Today they've dropped new single 'Plagued'. The band have dedicated this new record to Kyle.

Music has always been a HUGE part of Stranger Things, since season 1. Setting the show in the 1980's was a stroke of genius by The Duffer Brothers. The ability to set the scene and year by real-world events and song releases means that it puts the viewer directly into that era and keeps it as real-to-life as sci-fi-horror gets. As the 80s has drawn on in years throughout, they have been most recently been able to draw on the thrash metal phase & satanic panic... let's dive into that new trailer.

Michigan-based metal outfit For The Fallen Dreams have announced their signing to Arising Empire Records today, AND they've dropped the first track/video on the label, a big banger titled 'What If'.

If you saw the first promo video for Good Things Festival *hyping* the festival line-up announcement and heard Electric Callboy as the soundtrack to the video and got V E R Y excited because it meant that their inclusion on the line-up was pretty much a foregone conclusion at that point... join the club! We chatted with Nico and Kevin from the band about their VERY first trip to Australia for Good Things Festival...

There was unprecedented demand for tickets this morning when the Early Bird Tickets for Good Things Festival 2022 went on sale - and the festival and Oztix have released a statement to purchasers and punters.
