This is the debut single from Luke Lucas, a 21-year-old from Reading. Luke is a producer with an incredible voice, and this song was entirely recorded, mixed, and mastered by him. Jack Geary provides drums, James Kell plays keys, and Howard Head is on bass.

This is the latest single from Las Vegas based rock band Palace Royale, ahead of the release of their upcoming LP, set to drop later this year. The trio describe themselves as a ‘fashion-art rock’ group, taking influences from genres such as glam rock and indie rock. Although unsigned until 2015, the group have built up a loyal fan base, mainly through youtube and social media. In 2013, they even became the first unsigned act to ever win MTV’s Musical March Madness award, beating artists such as Coldplay and Linkin Park.

‘Let It Go’ is the latest single from independent rapper Franko Fraize, real name Frankie Dean, based in Thetford, Norfolk. The track is taken from his upcoming debut EP, Lights and Colour, which will drop in October.

According to his Facebook page, Fraize takes influence from a range of artists, including Skinnyman, Wiley, Pete Doherty, Jamie T, and New Order. Fraize is playing at Swanfest Festival in Ipswich this weekend, and also has upcoming dates in London and Leeds this November.

2017 was a big year for Lost Kings, they released some of their biggest hits to date and were named Google Play’s #1 artist to watch. The duo continue to play some of the biggest music festivals all over the world, including Ultra Music Festival, Ever After Music Festival, Escapade Music Festival, Milwaukee Summerfest, Ultra Croatia, Ultra Asia, Electric Zoo Festival, Dancefestopia, KAABOO Del Mar, and more.

‘Worth It’ is the fifth track to be released from the Kodaline’s upcoming third album, expected on the 10th August. The song was inspired by the band’s collaboration with Kygo, ‘Raging’, and features a lead guitar line reminiscent of some of the Swedish tropical house producer’s beats.

This is the new single from Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine), and it supports the announcement of his all-star solo album, The Atlas Underground, releasing in October. The album boasts an extensive list of collaborators, including Marcus Mumford, Portugal. The Man, Steve Aoki, RZA, and GZA.

Speaking to Lars Ulrich on Beats 1, Morello said he wanted to to “make a record that was the [Jimi] Hendrix of now” combining “analog, Marshall stack guitar playing with the sounds of now and some of [his] favorite singers and rappers.”

Full of funk, psychedelic, and Latin influences, ‘Exotic Other’ is the title track and first single from Animanz’ debut album, set to be released in September. The album is a collaboration with Congolese vocalist Juanita Euka, whom the band met when they were billed to support another of Eukas projects, Wara, in 2013.

The Slow Readers Club are a four-piece electro-pop group from Manchester. They released their debut album, Built A Tower, in May of this year. In an interview with Strong Island, the band said that the album is a step up from previous offerings, as writing it was truly a collaborative process.

Their name comes from a rejection of the common practice in the modern education system that sees children streamed into different levels of education at such a young age. It is a celebration of the underdog. Take a listen below.

Group Project are a small pop band from Montreal that have been putting out music for the last two years. Only recently, however, have they begun to start taking it more seriously as a potential career, and they are currently working on their first ever professional music video. When it comes to their influences, they cite The Chainsmokers, Lost Frequencies, Kygo, Halsey, and City and Colour.

Kell Chambers is a singer-songwriter, with listeners from York (where he is based), to London, to Montreal. You can sometimes find him busking in York, but you can also listen to his lastest track with the links down below.
