George Bloomfield gives us something as dreamy as his last name in Day 14.

It’s a warm summer day in a field; a day strolling around your favorite city with your headphones in, sun shining, and nowhere to be.

Though Day 14 was our introduction, we love Take Me There and As Summer Comes. A master at intros, and we are suckers for them.

Another big British vibe.

JULIET brings back some of the late 00’s club vibe with a strong accent in For The Night.

Kae Tempest, but make it more dancy.

Definitely a Friday night.

Black and white selfie of Shanghai Treason, five band members throwing horns

Immediately stop what you are doing and listen to Shanghai Treason. They’ve got a banjo, and they know what to do with it. If you’re looking for something excellent and not your run-of-the-mill mid output, then this is the one.

Important to know, we also like The Big Reel of Ballynacally/The High Hill/ Flash Away by Solas. This was meant to find us. And now you.

DAVAAR, maybe it is the thick UK metal of it all. Highly recommend higher volumes, just to make space for the gnarly toms, but when the rest of it kicks in, on Impulse, you’ll be happy you did. They feel like Sleep Token, but with a little more grit in the vocals. We’re not gonna lie, some of the mix is muddy, but the potential… boy oh boy. Whatever they put out next, we wanna hear it.

Hang Linton, found on TikTok.

Track we really, really love? SALE. It made us think of Scroobius Pip, and nothing that makes you think of the Pip can be bad. Hang Linton has a rare skill, switching cadence flawlessly, with razor-sharp lyrics, and delivers work that is relatable and good AF.
