Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard - Missouri
Settle in for a slow-burning, Americana-drenched reflection from Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard titled, 'Missouri'! Indie folk artist, songwriter and vocalist Joseph Turner continues with impressive releases with 'Missouri' a track that yearns for you to reflect on life's many unanswered questions. It's dense, heavy, and country/american-style, with sublime instrumentation that makes you wanna just fall back into a chair and let out a sigh as you listen. There's an incredible gravitas and introspective quality to this track, quite like some of John Mayer's classics. Built around emotional guitar tones and tired, resigned vocals, its the kind of track that hits you with the weight of a life that seems to be going nowhere. The sparse arrangements give Joseph's vocals some real depth and space, emphasizing an intense emotional core. And then, halfway in, 'Missouri' throws you a mighty fine curveball! A moment's pause jumps the tempo into a much more upbeat tempo, like we just shifted gears, quite literally. Now, its a road trip and you can feel tremendous momentum and passion coming through the arrangements as Turner's vocals turn up the charm too. Speaking of, there's a variety of charming string adornments and subtle shifts to keep you interested and engaged all through the track's 5 min plus runtime. There's a riveting action/drama packed tv show called 'Marshals' that follows the adventures of a former Navy SEAL and full-time rancher that we think would strongly benefit by having this track as one of its soundtracks! Anywhoo, stay tuned to Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard for indie, dark Americana and alternative influences into songs that feel both road-worn and alive
The Widows - False Idols - Radio Edit
The Widows blow the roof off the place with latest post punk rock single, 'False Idols - Radio Edit'! Strap in for a high-octane, distortion-drenched, psych-groove-infused ride from this London-based group that knows no calm. In fact, their at the epicentre of the storm, drawing us all into their brilliant, hard-hitting post-punk rock sound. Their music seems to be an alarming representation of the mood over the pond in the Uk right now. Unabashed, raw and in your face. That's the vibe. But underneath, a whole other story. 'False Idols' opens hard, hitting you like a runaway train with driving distortion riffs, crisp, thundering drums and unique, gripping vocals. He sings of liberation, of no longer being in the control of voices/forces that intend to rule you. His vocal tone is deep and melodious and contrasts beautifully with the aggressive punk arrangements, which he laps up with sheer delight and panache. Much like the theme of the cult film 'V for Vendetta' this track rises and goes hard, implying the impending fall of the system in the face of unrelenting rage. Listen in closer and you'll find yourself immediately hooked into the energy cultivated here. We imagine this is what people back in the 70s felt when they saw the Doors live for the first time. Over its 3 compact mins, that fly by, you're thoroughly energized by 'False Idols' high-octane vibe. The Widows are a gem of a find for those who like to live on the edge a little, lots to like here. Keep listening! The Widows are: Kim Le Tan – vocals/synth Francesco Manzi – guitar/vocals Roger Salsas – bass/vocals Vince Johnson – drums
Neil Valmonte - The Road I Didn’t Plan On
- English (US)
Neil Valmonte’s The Road I Didn’t Plan On begins with a familiar kind of uncertainty: the uneasy distance between the future we carefully construct in our heads and the life that actually unfolds. But rather than treating that distance as a failure, Valmonte approaches it with a gentler question. What if the detours, disappointments and unexpected encounters were not interruptions to the journey, but part of what made it meaningful?

Disco Dreams - All The Time
- English (US)
Disco Dreams’ All The Time exists somewhere between movement and suspension. The Cleveland-based electronic producer builds a track that is immediately danceable. Yet, carries a curious atmospheric distance. It is as though its energy is reaching toward something just beyond its grasp. It is synth-pop with a slightly surreal edge, quite inviting!

The six-track EP revisits a composition that began roughly 26 years ago, originally inspired by his Jamaican-born wife Yvette encouraging him to write a reggae song.
