Since going viral with their LA Public Libraryperformance of their song “Racist,Sexist, Boy” the world has watched The Linda Lindasscream about injustice, singabout growing up and exhibit the kind of altruism that is so meaningful to the punkscene. While their evolution as writers, performers and studio geeks is clear onNoObligation, their ethos remain steadfast. The band has released three great album cutsso far, the anxiety filled ”Too Many Things,” the scorcher “Revolution / Resolution,” andthe album’s addictive lead single “All In My Head”. With all four musicians each contributing to the writing and lead-singing, the songs are as varied and dynamic as the girls themselves, however the listener always senses the underpinning of both theirshared world-view and their bond.No Obligation, the second full-lengthalbum (released onOctober 11 viaEpitaphRecords) from The Linda Lindas further advances their unironic, joyful, and excitingtrajectory of mashing up L.A. punk with post punk, garage rock, power pop, new wave and rock en español. Written and recorded by the band during spring breaks, winterbreaks, and long weekends (Lucia de la Garzaand bassistEloise Wongare still inhigh school, drummerMila de la Garza just finished middle school, andBela Salazaris patiently waiting for them to get done with it already), the new album has been in theworks for the last two years whenever they weren’t at school or touring.The Linda Lindas most recently shared “No Obligation”-the ferocious title track.“I don’t got no obligation,” roars Eloise Wongin the album’s opening song-“just brushoff all expectation.” From the first moment of their sophomore release, it is clear thatThe Linda Lindas are here to defy expectations and challenge the norms.

For Trousdale—the trio of Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene, and Lauren Jones—the ache of growing through change resonates deeply. Like certain long nights of childhood where growing pains can feel like every inch is aching, cramping, pinching, Trousdale understands the feeling that comes with facing down existential anxiety, and matters of the heart. “We can acknowledge the strides we’ve made and be grateful, but we’ve talked a lot about how tired we are,” Jones says with a laugh. “We’ve been thinking a lot about the tension that comes with change, wanting it, fighting it, embracing it, but learning to thrive in that moment.” On Trousdale’s upcoming LP, Growing Pains (due April 11th) the band works through those struggles to find strength, courage, and growth in each other. “From what was, something new can always grow.” D’Andrea says.

Opening on a ripping electric guitar and bolstered by their trademark harmonies, the title track and lead single perfectly encapsulates those feelings in the life of Trousdale. “I’m making it through the tough times when it feels like I’ve been burning out/ Trying to build up the muscle so the hustle doesn’t pull me down,” they sing, a limber bass line drawing each new syllable forward.

Corbin (FKA Spooky Black) makes captivating, honest, and raw music that harkens back to the days when the singer-songwriter’s artistic vision prioritized vulnerability over image. For over a decade, the SoundCloud legend has crafted moody and intimate R&B that has helped listeners navigate some of their most challenging times. Songs such as the haunting portrait of addiction, “Diazepam”, and his battle with insecurity and instability in relationships, “ICE BOY”, showed off his ability to connect with the plight of modern adolescence. But it was the internet-breaking, classic ballad of yearning “Without You” that inspired a generation of disaffected and abandoned adolescents, serving as a soundtrack to make the alienated feel a little less alone. He’s attracted some of the biggest names in music, featuring on songs with Chief Keef, Trippie Redd, Skrillex, and The Kid Laroi, among others.

Known for limited public appearances, Corbin is taking his new band on the road for the Clown on Stage Tour, reaching many cities for the first time.

At just 18 years old, Stockport-based ‘TRP’ have taken the indie music scene in their stride. Gaining a reputation for energised performances, and feral crowds to match, The Rolling People have earned their reputation as the next ‘must-see’ act with repeated sold out shows across the country. Recently coined as ‘Manchester’s next greatest success’ by Northern Exposure Magazine, The Rolling People already have an unmatched reputation for delivering stunning live performances, which match the band’s captivating melodies accompanied by soaring choruses, something which has been recognised with spot plays on BBC Radio 6 (Chris Hawkins) plus Amazing Radio and more. After selling out their entire debut headline tour of the UK in 2023, The Rolling People quickly announced their return to performing live in 2024, with 3 headline shows on sale in Nottingham, London and Glasgow, as well as an unmissable hometown show at the O2 Ritz Manchester in December, which will also mark their anniversary of 3 years as a band. Now set to release their long-awaited debut EP, it is clear that the emphatic rise of The Rolling People is only set to continue. 

SKINNY LISTER kick started last year with an epic tour of the USA supporting friends Flogging Molly and Anti-Flag. Covering the full breadth of the country, the band have reignited their American fan base after a few years away, and plans are afoot for more shows later in the year.

When Are You Leaving?,singer/songwriter/producer Baek Hwong’s second LP as NoSo,findsHwong trading fantasy for reality. Previously, Hwong (they/he) sang about longing for “straighthips” and “simple limbs” in advance of their transition. Their debutStay Proud of Mewas analbum-length daydream about what it would be like to fully embrace their transmasc identity,written mostly under quarantine restrictions. They released that record in 2022 to criticalacclaim, with praise from NPR’s All Songs Considered, Paste, The Guardian, Notion, aperformance at Tiny Desk and much more. But it’s one thing to wistfully yearn for transition, andanother to actually do it.So what happens after? What happens when you get what you've always wanted, and it comeswith a new set of problems? Even if you do everything in your power to feel more comfortable inyour skin, it’s hard to tell who sees you and who doesn’t.When Are You Leaving?tenderly butdirectly explores the internal effects of those relationships with a witty, mature lens. The achingfrom their past work has itself moved into something more thoughtful and measured, showing amore fully-formed, complex Hwong in the process.Originating from Chicago before studying guitar and songwriting at the Thornton School ofMusic, and now based in Los Angeles, NoSo’s music deals with the alienation that comes at theintersection of his different identities. The stage name of NoSo itself comes from a question he’dget growing up in a largely white neighborhood (“North or South Korean?”)While he becameknown in LA for his talent with guitar, he ultimately decided to pursue writing his own deeplypersonal music. This is as personal as anything else he’s made.He clarifies about the album: “While it’s intense in terms of lyrical content at times, it’s stilltriumphant, but in a more grounded and realistic way.” The joy doesn’t come from daydreaming,but from tangible, smaller victories like leaving toxic relationships and painful situations. Thattitle,When Are You Leaving? comes from the mental fortitude required to deal with or exit thosedynamics altogether. The music gives those small successes the scale they deserve. The albumglistens with spacious arrangements accompanied by the occasional saxophone and strings. 

Young, authentic, and fearless in her expression, Eileen Alister is quickly establishing herself as one of the most promising names in the emerging music scene. The 22-year-old singer-songwriter from Zurich, Switzerland, has been steadily building a loyal following with her honest lyrics and captivating sound.

Eileen first drew attention through collaborations like the house track "Voices" (now surpassing 3 million streams) and "I Want..." with Benjamin Amaru. However, it was the release of her single "Lifetime Lover" in January 2024 that defined her artistic direction and marked a major breakthrough.

“She’s been singing since she could talk,” say those close to Alister. At just 13, she began posting covers online, and her passion for songwriting started even earlier—she wrote her first original song at age eight. A cover of Billie Eilish eventually caught the eye of Ddp, label owner of Physical Shock, who signed her shortly after. In 2023, she began working with producer ZID, and has since been releasing music independently, without label backing.
