So many artists, so little time. Every week, we review a handful of new albums (from all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie” and talk about what’s coming out of metal. We post music news, track premieres and more all day. We update a weekly playlist of some of our current favorite tracks. Here is a daily summary with a bunch of interesting and recently released songs in one place.

Pete isn’t off the mark with his assessment of the first single: “Reminds me of an early Smiths song or some of the more melodic Suede stuff. An old classic Skool indie guitar anthem. It’s sort of of subconscious desire for things. At the time we wrote it, I was really white with drugs, with a sort of feeling that it was only going to be a matter of time before I got back to it. It didn’t happen that way, but you could apply that to any kind of desire really.
