Boxing Club - “Barbra”
Hailing from London’s underground circuit, Boxing Club embodies the big-stadium rock and roll sound on their latest single, “Barbra”; the loud, bold and confident vocals, the express guitars in the background, and the tasteful breaks in flow with just the basses to keep you company — all these elements come together quite beautifully to deliver that high-adrenaline, engaging and infectious flow to the song that’s sure to keep you hooked from start to end. The mix is a standout here, creating a great expanse of atmosphere for you to revel in. All in all, a kickass listen! Take a listen to the track here:
The Sun Harmonic - “Glory Days”
The Sun Harmonic is quite the interesting bunch — blending interesting songwriting with good-natured heyday melodies, they present their latest single, “Glory Days”; and right as the track comes on, there’s this sense of upbeat joy, an almost festive atmosphere to the song that’s sure to capture your attention. The guitar work and the drumming stand out in this track to be precise, technical, yet masterfully executed to the song’s vision — and this is all topped off by the vocal work, bringing this song quite well full circle.

Lovina Falls - “About The Sun”
The musical project of singer and songwriter Valerie Forgione, Lovina Falls has all the makings of a heavyweight behind the sound — and their latest track, “About The Sun”, pulls all the stops to sound positively epic from the get go. Be it the sky-reaching reverbs, or the poised, steady beat, everything about this track screams polish. The bridge midsection is the cherry on top, with the soulful vocal presentation, while the energy buildup right after is a thing to admire. The production incorporates experimental elements, interesting structure, all mixed and mastered to a powerful, punchy sound. Take a listen to the track here!
The Higher Desires - “Unknown Soldiers”
Rock outfit The Higher Desires bring a hard rock anthem in their latest single, “Unknown Soldiers” — an ode to the people that dedicate their lives to protecting us. Readily apparent title aside, the production and the writing on the track do much in the way of bringing the vision together. The vocals are very well supported by the guitar work, bringing an aggressive, almost Hetfield-esque sound to the fore, while the thrash cymbals in the drumming ensemble add some high-end sparkle that elevate this track. All in all, a winner! Take a listen to the track here:
