At the end of the first quarter of 2026, singer songwriter Kyle Boswell released a great single. ‘The Way It’s Always Been’ introduced many to a performer with a striking voice, but also someone capable of sharing a great melody. That track’s classic pop rock stance also showcased some fine guitar work and thoughtful lyrics, creating a small package that suggested Kyle would share other enjoyable songs in the near future.
From the moment ‘Desolate’ crashes in, Asylum Road sound like a band that means business. The number’s earliest riffs borrow, in part, from Testament and Machine Head but toughen them up considerably, and even before allowing their signature groove to take a hold, it’s pretty much guaranteed they have their audience’s attention.
On September 18th 2026, The Fierce And The Dead will release their fifth album, ‘Regional Theatre’. The band have always been keen to break down musical barriers and not be beholden to one particular style, but the new record is their boldest yet, with arrangements that explore genres previously not associated with the Fierce/Dead sound.
One of the record’s biggest deviations from the “expected” comes via their brand new single, ‘Somehow’.
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.
Within a couple of seconds, the brand new single from post rock band The Fierce And The Dead commands attention. During the intro of ‘Shake Hands & Exit’, the band couple a riff that’s as direct as their fan favourite ‘Truck’ with a stoner rock edge to create something quite sinister. It also represents one of the heaviest moments in their catalogue to date.
