Released 20th February 2026 Bruise Control are a loud-mouth four-piece punk outfit from Manchester who’ve become a serious force in the UK DIY scene. They’ve been carving their name with a ferocious energy, mixing the raw aggression of ’80s hardcore with hooky, jagged indie riffs pulled straight out of the early ’00s. Their new EP and extended physical release, which they co-produced (by their guitarist Niall Griffin), really captures that chaotic, live-wire feel - think shout-along choruses,...

Released 6th February 2026 The New Eves’ extraordinary debut The New Eve Is Rising was released on 1 August 2025 to critical acclaim. Written in Brighton and at an artistic residency at The Cornish Bank and recorded at Rockfield Studios and Bristol’s Cotham Parish Church, The New Eve Is Rising takes the four-piece’s untamed melting pot of musical styles - an instinctive, incendiary mix of Patti Smith radical poetry, rock’n’roll recklessness, freak folk experimentalism and plenty more - and so...

Released 6th February 2026 Ellur is one of those unique artists who combines an undeniable authenticity with a forceful ambition and a voice that reaches beyond her years. From Halifax, Ellur (named after the Yorkshire pronunciation of her name Ella) writes songs about feeling, battling with, and ultimately drawing comfort from vulnerability in a way that takes influence equally from classic alternative rock as it does the new school of songwriters of today. ‘At Home In My Mind’, her debut al...

Released 6th February 2026 For Mandy, Indiana, the truth is the only way through.  On their Sacred Bones debut URGH, the four-piece - vocalist Valentine Caulfield, guitarist and producer Scott Fair, synth player Simon Catling, and drummer Alex Macdougall - are a force of uncanny nature, grafting together a record that is as much a call to action as a parlay into oblivion and transcendence.  Across the ten tracks, the band interpolate their own unconventional language into a mantra for self-de...

Released 6th February 2026 With his new record Croak Dream, Puma Blue (real name Jacob Allen) returns to the spectral intimacy that first won him a cult following, now reimagined with the raw, instinctive energy of his live band. The album fuses lo-fi jazz balladry with jungle breaks, krautrock textures and trip-hop atmosphere, drawing comparisons to Portishead, Jeff Buckley, and D’Angelo. Written in solitude and brought to life in collaboration, Croak Dream was conjured from tape loop sessio...

Released 12th September 2025 SK says: 'Beats courtesy of star producer Paul Epworth give Baxter Dury fresh impetus and as close to a pop album as the London wordsmith can muster. The album's title-track spins a tale of being stood up in a bleak chain pub, cleverly contracted into more salubrious sounding environs, especially cooed in the Estuary accent of frequent collaborator JGrrey. "Return of the Sharp Heads" boasts a nightmarishly woozy bassline that his old man's sparring partner Norman ...

Released 25th July 2025 SK says: "Ryan Davis follows up last year's SK AOTY with another stunning collection of brilliantly confounding lyrics and cathartic crescendos. A real highlight of the year was the band's performance outside the shop here in August." Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band— the project of Louisville-based visual artist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ryan Davis — announce their new album, New Threats From The Soul, out 25th July on Tough Love / Sophomore Lounge and ...

Released 18th July 2025 If there's one thing Panic Shack know, it's how to have a good time. Comprised of Sarah Harvey (vocals), Meg Fretwell (guitar/backing vocals), Romi Lawrence (guitar/backing vocals), Em Smith (bass/backing vocals) and Nick Williams (drums), the band formed in 2018 as a middle-finger to the “members-only club” atmosphere of indie and punk scenes – not just because they’re male-dominated, but because they make playing music seem out of reach or, even worse, boring. “Boys ...

Released 29th August 2025 SK says: 'Another corker from the peppy Kiwi indie quartet led by Liz Stokes. 2022's Expert in a Dying Field pitched Stokes' witty, vulnerable songwriting against power pop guitar rhythms and irresistible vocal harmonies to stunning effect. Tackling similar themes here, there's a layer of subtle experimentation and a strong jangle influence that makes this one a different but just as sweet pleasure.' Written in Los Angeles and self- recorded in the band's hometown of...

Released 4th April 2025 Inspired entirely by the life and mythos of actor Dennis Hopper, Mike Scott and The Waterboys created this expansive album as tribute to one of American popular culture’s most compelling public figures. Deeply conceptual, this album of all original songs brings together high-profile featured artists like Bruce Springsteen, Fiona Apple, and Steve Earle to musically weave through Hopper’s life, including a song for each of Hopper’s wives.

Released 22nd August 2025 “Bruised Lung.” “No Hope.” “Care Less.” “Climb the Walls.” “Everybody Dies.” Scanning the tracklist of Songs in the Key of Yikes, one is given to wonder: Is Superchunk okay? In a world that’s arguably darker than the one that greeted Wild Loneliness in 2022 or What a Time to Be Alive in 2018, are any of us okay? “It’s always been the case that everyone is going through something that you may not be aware of,” notes Mac McCaughan. “This is currently more true than eve...

Released 25th April 2025 SK says: 'A hugely accomplished sophomore effort from the Yorkshire multi-hyphenate, coaxing the jazz and electronic influences of her debut into a hugely accessible R&B/pop record that deals with some difficult themes of navigating neurodivergence and grief. Apart from features from Reggie Watts and Kassa Overall, Thackray played and recorded everything herself, from irresistible funk basslines to cool, clean guitar strums, to synth pads and bursts of trumpet (he...

Expected Release 30th May 2025 SK says: 'Another strong solo record that sees The National's vocalist exploring a different sonic palette from the day job and foregrounding even further his bittersweet lyrics and drawling, dramatic delivery. Vocal contributions from Hand Habits and Ronboy immediately give the album a distinct flavour, but so too does the fragmented, depressive spoken-word poetry of "Nowhere Special" and the skittering drums and strings of "No Love", while the spiritual closer...
