Peaer is back with their latest album, 'A Healthy Earth' which features the group's best songwriting yet. The album is an exciting work of sonic poetry and a guitarists' dream. Stream the album and read Sarah's review below.

Unlike Taylor Swift’s past work, it is without a doubt that Lover breaks the chains that had been cuffed to her for so many years. Instead of records controlling her, she is taking back her freedom and vulnerability as an artist and as a woman, and crucially doing so in a way that comes across organic and personable to her - a journey of self-care and brighter visions of color.

Being a five-piece power punk act from London, The Gulps are a breath of fresh air in a scene bogged down with imitators and echoes, lacking the verve to stand apart. This is only elevated through the attitude and vigor of their latest EP, 'In The Kings House' that dropped in April. Read Hope's review.

Queen of Jeans' latest record, 'If You’re Not Afraid, I’m Not Afraid', is for people who have been crushed and mangled by past relationships but still want to have faith in the purity of love. Read Bineet's review ahead of its release later this month through Topshelf Records.

Strange Ranger’s third LP strikes the perfect balance between a band that knows what it wants to be and a band that could be anything it wants. It builds off of the reset that 'Daymoon' provided while tapping into the sense of adventure that made 'Rot Forever' so enticing.
