 "Little Dreaming is a confident step forward from an artist who’s learning not just how to be heard, but how to say exactly what matters."
Cian Ducrot’s second full-length album, Little Dreaming, opens with a playful touch of personality. A quick medley of audio clips of people attempting to pronounce his name ends with the artist himself cutting in, full of cheek and charm, “IT’S CIAN, BITCH.” It’s a fitting intro to a record that is as self-assured as it is unguarded.

This powerful live version of their iconic hit was recorded during a taping of the French music show Taratata, where they performed alongside internationally acclaimed violinist Vanessa-Mae.

CONTINUE READING  Some songs come from a crowded room, full of hands on faders and label opinions. This one didn’t. Open Doors came together in a much quieter place, a laptop in Augustdorf, Germany. No entourage. No A&R notes. Just Cleimo, alone, letting the feeling unfold. It wasn’t polished on the first try, or the fiftieth. Nearly 500 versions later, it finally stopped asking to be changed.
CONTINUE READING 2025 is shaping up to be quite the year for Cian Ducrot. It started with a special moment when he won his first Grammy Award as co-writer of SZA’s hit ‘Saturn’, and is now building to a new peak as he releases his sophomore album ‘Little Dreaming’ on August 1st. His recent high impact singles, ‘Who’s Making You Feel It?’, the title track and ‘Shalalala’ are all driving anticipation for the set, which Cian now elevates with the new song ‘In Your Eyes’.
CONTINUE READING  There’s something raw and unfiltered about Matreya’s new single.
Released on July 11th, I Saw the Light doesn’t just feel personal, it feels lived-in. The track captures a moment of quiet transformation, the kind that comes after everything falls apart and you have to choose whether to stay in the wreckage or crawl out of it. CONTINUE READING  In 1994, Nailbomb delivered Point Blank, a record that fused industrial noise, punk-metal rage, and raw political fury into something that felt like it could implode at any moment. Three decades later, that same fury feels not just relevant, but necessary. Max Cavalera is taking Nailbomb back on the road with a vengeance, joined by a lineup that draws from Soulfly, Pig Destroyer, and Repulsion, and the message is just as sharp as it was back then.
CONTINUE READING  Wednesday, 23 July – Johnny Marr announces Look Out Live!, the new 22-track live album due 19 September via BMG.
This special release captures the full magic and nuance of a Johnny Marr live show. High energy, atmospheric intensity, electro-soul anthems and all-in singalong moments, each led by Johnny’s vocal carrying the same sharp clarity and emotional weight as his signature guitar playing and songwriting. CONTINUE READING Craig Gould announces duel-format live EP in collaboration with Beckview Studios & The Noble Thieves7/23/2025  Following the success of his 2023 debut album Songs from the Campfire - a Top 20 entry on the Official UK Folk & Americana Albums Chart - acclaimed singer-songwriter Craig Gould is set to release a new 6-track live EP in partnership with the renowned Beckview Studios in Scarborough.
CONTINUE READING  Ozzy Osbourne - Photo: Ross Halfin Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76, just days after taking the stage for the last time in his hometown of Birmingham.
That show at Villa Park now feels even heavier. A final bow in the place where it all began. Ozzy wasn’t just a rock star. He was rock and roll. Wild, unpredictable, completely himself. From Black Sabbath’s first thunderous notes to his mad, brilliant solo career, he never played it safe. He didn’t care what the world expected, he just kept going.  Photo: David Weddle Kasabian’s return to Newcastle made a pretty standard Monday up until that point feel anything but routine. After seeing them twice in the past, I wasn’t sure what to expect this time around,it was my first without Tom leading the charge. But any hesitation faded the moment the lights dropped. The show was one of two intimate warm up gigs for the Kasabian so as you can imagine, the place was packed. What followed was a masterclass in energy, swagger and showmanship, delivered by a band that has found a new kind of fire.

On Friday, he released a version of Black Sabbath's ‘Changes’, recorded live at their farewell concert, titled ‘Back to the Beginning’, at Villa Park on Saturday July 5 (watch the music video HERE).
All proceeds from the track will be donated to Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorns Children's Hospice.  Golem Dance Cult’s new single Call of the Wendigo feels less like a song and more like an invocation. At just over three minutes, it wastes no time settling into its rhythm, a tight, uneasy groove built on thick guitar and a vocal line that walks the line between control and collapse.
CONTINUE READING  First Stage Separation feels less like a polished product and more like something caught in motion. University Drive didn’t want to clean things up. They wanted it real, tape hiss, human timing, room noise and all.
CONTINUE READING  Terra Mãe opens without fuss. There’s no buildup, no big reveal, just a quiet sense that something thoughtful is unfolding. It doesn’t rush to explain itself, but the strong connection between LINA_ and Jules Maxwell comes is evident from the start.
CONTINUE READING  Following a breakout start to 2025 with the release of Do It Again and Take It Or Leave It, Newcastle-born artist Charlie Floyd returns with his most personal and powerful release yet: ‘2000’, out today Friday July 18th.
