GLINTS - ROMA
Glints raps about his and everyone’s split personality on brand new single Roma. Grandiose choirs and horns fused with synths and beats. Never before was Glints’ upbringing as an opera choirboy so informative to his sound. Produced by his beat-brother-in-arms Yong Yello, the two set out to create a whole new majestic universe. In Roma Glints raps about his and everyone’s split personality. On the one hand trying to be good, efficient and mature; on the other being self-destructive, manic, and Dionysian. In the verses he tries to keep himself in check, but with the motto ‘when in Rome’ as a call to arms, his impulses always seem to get the better of him. In the manic outburst of a chorus the genie gets out of the bottle as we hear an arena of people chanting ‘Roma Roma’. So let’s raise a glass to our mistakes!
GRASPOP METAL MEETING - 25TH ANNIVERSARY ANTHEM
THE metal Anthem of the summer! Devil horns up, fist in the air, heads banging, Graspop celebrates its belated 25th Anniversary in style!

KATY J PEARSON - ALLIGATOR
Katy J Pearson has shared Alligator, the latest track from her forthcoming new album, Sound Of The Morning, released on Heavenly Recordings on Friday 8th July 2022. This follows previous tracks Talk Over Town and Game Of Cards. Talking about the track Katy said: “I wrote this track with Dan Carey at his Streatham studio. The lyrics are quite literal and were born from the idea of dissociation when experiencing anxiety. The chorus note ‘it felt just like a dream, and it keeps on happening’ refers to when you are really stressed, things just don’t seem real. There is this juxtaposition between the lyrics and the soaring chorus which is quite euphoric – it’s quite tongue in cheek and I like that about it. Dan played the bass on this track and Yuri from the band Honeyglaze played drums which really gives the track some gusto!”

AOIFE NESSA FRANCES - EMPTINESS FOLLOWS (RADIO EDIT)
On May 9, Irish singer-songwriter Aoife Nessa Frances announced her signing to Partisan Records and shared brand new single + video Emptiness Follows from forthcoming LP. The track is a mesmerizing, pastoral piece of psych-folk, the playfulness of Aoife’s instrumentation juxtaposed by her beguiling voice as she meditates on the pain of friendships drifting apart (“the weight of the water / it holds you and tortures time away from you”). It's also the first taste of the follow up to her much loved 2020 debut Land of No Junction, with further details to come.

THE HEAVY HEAVY - MILES AND MILES
The Heavy Heavy based out of Brighton. Think 60’s classic rock, hippie/flower, garage thing - a bit of Mamas and Papas, Jefferson Airplane, Dandy Warhols,Edward Sharpe vibes. They have now signed with the ATO label first cause of action is to reissue their self-released EP Life and Life Only with a brand new track as well as a new mix of lead/radio single Miles and Miles.

WORKING MEN'S CLUB - PLOYS
Working Men’s Club share the video for Ploys, the latest track to be taken from their recently announced second album Fear Fear. The album was produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, MIA, Tricky) and will be released on 15th July via Heavenly Recordings. Ploys follows lead single Widow and the follow-up, Circumference. Ploys is three minutes of hypnosis via a riff that could easily have blasted out as a Blackburn rave signal back in the day and a lyric that seems to document a disaffection, the kind one might feel emerging blinking into the sunlight at 3am.

JOYERIA - WILD JOY
Speedy Wunderground are excited to announce the signing of London-via-Canada's Joyeria (pronounced Joy-a-ree-a), along with new single Wild Joy. Originally from Canada, Joyeria has spent his adult life patiently crafting his own path as a songwriter in London instead of following his heroes and peers in search of an assumed authenticity in Austin or Nashville. Joyeria says of the new single, "If 'Wild Joy' is not an ode to the world’s greatest dad or the working stiff — it’s the song of a man who has remembered what to do with memories and what can be recaptured and re-enacted, perpetually in music."
