The opening riffs of Garrow Hill’s current single share more than a “standard” metal based sound.

Listen: Rain Corner shares fantastic new track ‘Like That’
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.
