Protomartyr have shared the second single, “Feed The Sewer”, off their upcoming album “Hotel Usona” out September 25th via Domino Records.
Andrew Theodore Balasia directed video and shared this about it: “Loneliness in the age of surveillance is the theme we explored for this video. The motel becomes a physical microcosm of data collection, each room a profile, each guest willingly paying to stay in a room that is being monitored by strangers. The banality of what’s being observed becomes its own source of unease, stripping away spectacle until all that remains is the dull, unsettling desire to connect with anything.”
Joe Casey shared this about the song: “The title comes from a line of dialogue in a Peter Greenaway movie. The sentiment of the song is that artificial intelligence is against humanity. The belief is that people are often willing to destroy the world in exchange for convenience. The lyrics are the usual mish-mash of political fears, personal grievances, literary references, and poop jokes. The music is very loud, like a data center.”

Ade Blackburn shared this about the working relationship with his sole band mate, via a press release: “Jonathan Hartley and I’ve known each other since school. Hartley was always interested in electronics and drum machines, even as a teenager. He’s into rhythms, whether it’s reggae and funk or more conventional guitar music, whereas I was always into songs and melodies. I think that’s why Clinic works so well.
For the inspirations behind “Wild in the Streets”…something we’ve got into more recently is exotica, especially the colourful percussion. People like Martin Denny and Les Baxter. Some of that stuff is amazing. For what was often considered easy listening music, it has some very strange undercurrents. We’ve also been listening to dub reggae and things like Cabaret Voltaire. And a lot of early rock‘n’roll, for that immediacy. For many of these songs, we wanted an extra sense of propulsion, so we’d sometimes take out a whole verse to push it along.
We’ve always run in the opposite direction to what’s happening. So if anything gets too close to sounding like something else, then we’ll take a different route. We’ve always had this absolute faith in what we do. It’s relatively outsider-ish music, but that’s something that’s motivated us to keep going, because it’s good to have things that are a little out on the fringes. There’s just not enough of that kind of music these days.”

The film was directed by Barnaby Clay and he shared this about it: “I wanted to create a film that not only captured the live performance but also felt close to the spirit of what the band was going for with their shows; something delicate and dream-like, like a precious memory, timeless, emotionally charged and shrouded in mystery.”
Karen O shared this: “”Hidden in Pieces Live at the Royal Albert Hall” was born out of a need to commune with our band and fan family in 2025, after the election. In the past, YYY’s haven’t often chosen when to be back at it and out there, it often chooses us. It, being the times. We turn to live music when we need that specific quality of depth and light to see us through the times.
We worked on these arrangements in February of ’25 at Sonic Ranch in an impossibly small window of time. Imaad Wasif and our string arranger Jherek Bischoff dove straight into the deep end with us as we arranged almost 24 songs for a quartet and acoustic instrumentation in less than a week. The stakes were high, the Royal Albert Hall was the 3rd play of the tour, most of this record is live from the hall. It was our first time performing there and the hype leading up to it was Overwhelming, but ladies and gentleman we believe the hype now we’ve done it. The pipe organ moment in Skeletons was no less than immaculate vibrations. We felt the spirits of all legends past swirling around us. Nick remarked that he felt as though his fingers were guided on the guitar neck. The real alchemy happened when we played the halI, it clicked into place. All the shows we performed on this small tour were extraordinarily vulnerable. We hope that translates.
Barnaby Clay has made a stunning film of the live performance that takes you there in the moment with us in the most heavenly way. Thanks to all the fans in attendance who’s frequency lives on this record, and thanks to the fans who continue to make our music possible. Thanks also to David Lynch for his everything. His passing came a month before we began this journey and the performance begins with an ode to his legacy.”
Fontaines D.C. have shared the first single, “Marianne”, off their upcoming (fifth) album “Dopamine Chamber” out October 16th via XL.
The video was directed by Dave Meyers & Cam Erickson.
Grian Chatten shared this about the release: “I think Romance was maybe 60 per cent human and 40 per cent corrupted by automation, and a loss of feeling. This one feels more like 60 per cent corrupted, the mask is wearing the face a little more.”
Conor Deegan shared this: “Our albums have always questioned a sense of place. First Dublin, then being away from Dublin, and then trying to find the romance elsewhere. On this record, the question became: where do you escape to?”
Johnny Marr has shared the third single, “It’s Time”, off his upcoming album “The Age Of Everything” out October 2nd.
Marr said this about the song: “‘It’s Time’ is my way of singing about some worldly issues but finding defiance, in idealism. I wanted a lyric that matched the exuberance of the music but is actually about resisting cynicism and corruption: ‘Everybody ain’t making it, change the weather and breaking it. Mobilize to know the truth. Open eyes to know the truth.’ I guess it’s about the assholes with dodgy views.”
The video for the song was shot at Castlefield Bowl, 9th July 2026.
Queens Of The Stone Age have shared the second single, “Insignificant Other”, off their upcoming album “Perfecth” out October 30th via Matador Records.
Josh Homme said this about the song: “the song isabout how someone can be your entire world only to simply vanish. And about the strange vertigo of being on the receiving end of that.”
Westside Cowboy have shared the third single, “Dobro”, off their upcoming debut album “It Goes On” out August 21st.
The band shared this about the song: “This is our strut song, over two minutes in length but just under three. A song for perhaps a younger self? For that moment of waiting and isolation in the hopes of a return. Or it could just be a song about a weird guitar. Who knows!”
Twin Temple have shared the second single, “Haunt Me”, off their upcoming album “Doomed Lovers” out October 9th via Pentagrammatron Records.
TRACKLIST:
1. Doomed Lovers 2. Possessed 3. I Want Blood 4. Love You To Death 5. Haunt Me 6. Someone In The Walls 7. Monster 8. Nothing Matters
Twin Temple shared this about the song: “”Haunt Me” is a gothic love song about fear, obsession, dread and jealousy, with nods to classic American gospel, 1960s rock n roll and the blues. It romanticizes the terrifying nightmares your lover brings, and the paradox of never wanting them to stop haunting you.”
Dummy have shared the first single, “Full Spectrum Dominance”, off their upcoming album “do you love the color of the sky?” out October 16th via Polyvinyl.

Joe Trainor shared this about the song: “I was trying to make something just heavier, and we joked it was our nu metal song, during the recording we added the tambourine that gives it a more dancey vibe, Deee-Lite meets Deftones.”
Emma shared this : “This is the Technofeudalism bop. Tech billionaires are treating AI like the new Alchemy, using it as a source of power and magic. This supposedly soon-to-be all-powerful technology could not exist without harvesting all of humanity’s intellectual property and collective work.”
