Rain Corner isn’t a band. Nor is the artist beholden to one particular genre. This new act for 2026 has released a couple of impressive singles in ‘Dead End’ – a Travis-esque pop rocker that showcases a wonderfully light vocal – and ‘Tokyo’, taking singer songwriter Ryan Connor’s work a little further towards an atmosphere laden dream pop sound – something very fashionable in indie circles at the time of release.

Listen: Josaleigh Pollett shares new track ‘Bed Of Quiet’
The promotion for Josaleigh Pollett’s upcoming album ‘If I Let It Quiet’ has been a slow and measured affair. From the release of ‘Radio Player’ – a complex, multi-layered number – in October 2025 – each successive single has presented a slightly different aspect to the singer-songwriter’s sound and influences. Each one has promised that, if nothing else, ‘If I Let It Quiet’ will be an interesting listen.
Listen: The Fierce And The Dead share new track ‘Shake Hands & Exit’
Within a couple of seconds, the brand new single from post rock band The Fierce And The Dead commands attention.

It also represents one of the heaviest moments in their catalogue to date.
Watch: John DeMena shares new video for ‘More Than Meets The Eye’
By its very nature, prog rock is complex, and the fans love that level of indulgence. ‘More Than Meets The Eye’ by multi-instrumentalist/songwriter John DeMena takes that to extremes, but manages to convey a feeling of an artist actually using his musical talents to progress, rather than just wheeling out some obvious Yes-isms or some outdated and misguided tribute to Gentle Giant.
Listen: Ken Newman unveils new track ‘Who Are The Bad Guys’
Back in 2022, singer songwriter Ken Newman released ‘What Am I Afraid Of?’, an album loaded with thoughtful, narrative pieces that chimed with an increasingly uneasy world. Between the roots rock sounds of ‘Nothing To See Here’, the politically charged ‘I Can’t Breathe’ and ‘I Dream of Guns’, and the retro power pop meets Americana sounds of ‘Away From You’, the album showcased a thoughtful wordsmith, adrift in an ever failing US. For those not into lyrical concerns, Ken ensured the music was always of a standard that allowed the songs to flow on their own terms, presenting a great arranger at work.
