Night Ritualz drops second album ‘Time Is A Thief’ LP | CD | Digital — out now via Metropolis Records Stream | Bandcamp San Antonio’s own Night Ritualz (aka Vincent Guerrero IV) returns with his second full-length album, ‘Time Is A Thief,’ a dark, electrifying journey through synth-heavy introspection, cinematic beats, and raw emotional pulse. Built around brooding synths and mournful melodies, the album balances visceral intensity with vulnerability, fusing darkwave, EBM, and post-punk into something that’s simultaneously hypnotic and urgent.

A Place To Bury Strangers drop ‘Acid Rain’ — And it hits like a freight train through a subway car There's noise, and then there's noise. A Place To Bury Strangers have always lived in that second category — the kind that rattles your chest and leaves a ringing in your ears that you're honestly kind of okay with. Their latest single Acid Rain is no different, and somehow, it feels more urgent than ever. The New York-based wall-of-sound merchants just released the track as the second single from their upcoming rarities album, ‘Rare And Deadly,’ dropping April 3rd via Dedstrange.

SIREN SECTION unveil long-awaited full-length ‘Separation Team’ After nearly a decade of anticipation, Los Angeles post-punk duo SIREN SECTION have dropped their new album, ‘Separation Team,’ and it’s a haunting journey worth diving into. The album began life as unfinished material stretching back almost ten years. Surprisingly, the older songs felt curiously in tune with the duo’s newer work. Over time, these pieces crystallized into a fully-realized concept album—an exploration of transformation, survival, and the tension of surrendering to something bigger than yourself.

London indie upstarts CHEST drop soul-baring EP ‘never really here’ London-based indie band CHEST are back with their brand-new EP, ‘never really here’. Produced by Thomas Coath (known for his work with Sam Fender and Pale Waves), the EP is a tense, immersive journey through internal collapse and external chaos. CHEST’s sound is a dynamic mix of tight guitars, driving drums, shimmering electronics, and soaring melodies, fused with raw distortion.

Glixen unveil ‘Unwind’ — A heavy, hazy start to a massive year Phoenix shoegaze bruisers Glixen are wasting zero time in 2026. The four-piece return with Unwind, a slow-burning, unrelenting new single that feels equal parts crushing and cathartic. Produced by Sonny DiPerri, the track signals a bold next chapter for a band already at the forefront of the modern American shoegaze wave. From the first note, Unwind pulls you under.

NOTHING release new album ‘A Short History of Decay’ Out now via Run For Cover Records NOTHING are back with their fifth studio album, ‘A Short History of Decay,’ out now via Run For Cover Records—and it might be the most unguarded, widescreen, and emotionally heavy thing they’ve ever done. This record feels like a reckoning. With time. With the body. With memory. ‘A Short History of Decay’ expands NOTHING’s already colossal sound into something more exposed and painfully human, capturing frontman Domenic “Nicky” Palermo at his most direct and unflinching.

Chinese American Bear enter a psychedelic fairytale on ‘All The People (所有人)’ Seattle’s bilingual indie-pop sweethearts Chinese American Bear are back with big, buoyant news. The duo of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten have announced their brand new album ‘Dim Sum & Then Some,’ landing 8 May via Moshi Moshi Records, and they’ve shared a glorious lead single to match: All The People (所有人). The track arrives with a lovingly DIY stop-motion video directed by Barsten himself — think puppets, theatre stages, beams of light and a whole lot of basement magic.

Prostitute unleash visualiser for Judge (Fast) Things are heating up fast for Prostitute. The Dearborn, Michigan five-piece have just dropped a blistering new visualiser for Judge (Fast), one of the most punishing cuts from their upcoming debut album ‘Attempted Martyr’ — and it hits exactly as hard as you’d hope. The track is a full-body rush: relentless, propulsive, and seething with intent. It’s another snapshot of a band operating at maximum intensity, turning chaos, noise, and lived experience into something confrontational and cathartic.
