In June 2026, British band Forget Them Wendy released ‘Wise Guy’, a track that blended pop and indie with lax vocals to share something that, if not entirely original, came with just enough sparkle and sass to make it hold up on its own terms.
A few months on, and their ‘Next Big Thing’ offers more of the same…only better.
This visit to the Singles Bar takes in various moods, highlighting a varied selection of submissions over the past two weeks. We have an absolutely superb track capturing a perfect indie/dream pop sound, some amazing folk rock, a sidestep into soul-pop, a nod to 90s slackerdom, and a great piece of contemporary alternative metal. There are also tracks from the world of power pop and retro shoegaze, so there’s a little of everything that we feel keeps the SB – and Real Gone as a whole – constantly interesting. We hope, as always, you find something new to enjoy.
