STONE frontman Fin Power caused quite a stir this week when he published a message to fans via social media explaining why the band had parted company with their record label and their experience as a band.

a.gris: Folk-Glitch is the new genre under which France's Alex Delamard (Hoorsees) is flying the flag of his new solo project. It's folk meets electronica for debut tune 'Oblivion', which has hints of Linkin Park meets Smashing Pumpkins, performed at a folk club and put through a 2025 filter!

The Bernadette Maries: Feeling a bit like a chilled Fontains DC at times, this Belgium band have firm roots in 90s indie! 'The Closer You Look' which would be right at home on a 90s post-punk shoegaze playlist.

Paul Nazole: Italian named but Liverpool bred, Paul Nazole is a bloody diamond in the musical rough. A modern interpretation of classic 60s/70s sounds akin to that of musical greats like The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Stunning songwriting. Great storytelling.
