Amyl and the Sniffers Chase Big Dreams with Electrifying New Single – Backseat Mafia
Amyl and the Sniffers just unleashed their latest single, ‘Big Dreams,’ a moody and unexpectedly introspective track off their forthcoming album Cartoon Darkness (dropping 25 October). It’s the fourth taste of the record, and it’s got the kind of grit that gets under your skin, even if the tempo has slowed down from their usual thrash-and-burn pace. ‘Big Dreams’ is about the passing of time, and seeing years go by with dreams feeling both closer and further from reality, and knowing you’re meant for something more then sitting around some crap apartment in a place you don’t want to be all life long. Wanting to get out and make something…

Gianna Lei Explores Dreams of an Ideal Life in Captivating New Single ‘Villa & A House’ – Backseat Mafia
Gianna Lei’s latest single, ‘Villa & A House,’ showcases the Prague-based pop and R&B artist’s shift towards a darker, more moody sound. With her characteristic soulful vocals and personal storytelling, Gianna explores themes of dreaming of an ideal life, shaped by her own experiences of chronic illness and a desire for stability.

The song’s evolution was organic, with Gianna Lei quickly developing the verses and chorus. When a planned collaboration for the bridge fell through, she channelled her frustration into writing one of her favourite lyrical…

Jewel Throne – The Graveyard Of Dreams – Backseat Mafia
Finnish Thrash/Death metallers Jewel Throne have shared their second single ‘The Graveyard Of Dreams’. The track is taken from their debut album ‘Blood Vultures’ due out on October 18th via Inverse Records. The band comments single: “‘The Graveyard of Dreams’ is one of the two oldest songs on ‘Blood Vultures’. The original version can be found on the last EP (‘Silence Shrouds the Ruins’) by the original Jewel Throne lineup from 2019. It is a personal story about deepening depression. A story about how the total futility of everything crushes a human being under its own weight. Black emptiness of being pushes you deeper into the abyss. Slowly one just stops caring about anything.…

We’re a couple of months away from the release of the new record by San Diego noise rock band Psychic Graveyard, and the band release the third single from Wilting tomorrow.

Said new single comes with a video that delivers on both fronts. ‘Stuffed With Secrets’ is lyrically inspired by a recurring dream vocalist Eric Paul had: “In this dream, I am a scarecrow, and it typically concludes after cycling through all four seasons. There’s a simplicity I find appealing—I have one task: to exist. My sole…
