Call To The Void have been lurking within the musical underground for a while. In the summer of 2023, the London based band shared their debut single ‘Uncontrollable’ which blended sharp edged, 90s inspired elements – Pixies/Nirvana-eque basslines coupled with a noisy chorus – with a few 80s goth traits to create something that had one eye on the past, but sounded really punchy in the present. Their belated follow up, ‘Blow’, delivered in January 2024, explored a few different sounds. Stoking up the bass and relying more on a moody vocal, it shared moments that sounded, strangely, a little more like they were channelling a couple of old Billy Idol hits, but with the help of some aggressive guitar work, their love of 90s alternative sounds still remained obvious.

Listen: Transport League unveils new track ‘Primate Apeshit’
The new single from Transport League is a riff-centric beast that should appeal to a huge cross section of the rock and metal audience. A very cold and mechanical feel employed during the intro suggests something with an industrial heart, but the track ultimately blossoms into something very different.
Listen: Pollyanna Blue share new track ‘Vultures’
In a shift from the semi-gothic sounds on their debut EP, Pollyanna Blue opt for a bigger, rockier sound on their current single ‘Vultures’.

THE REAL GONE SINGLES BAR #23
Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we explore some of the individual mp3s that have landed in our inbox over the previous few weeks. A popular feature, the mixed bag approach at the Singles Bar has often allowed for coverage of things that people wouldn’t necessarily associate with the site. The selection this time around is a little more rock based in places, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a couple of interesting twists, and a jazzy, downtempo track definitely provides one of the best tunes. We present the return of Big River with a very melodic track, some brilliant pop, an interesting take on a classic band, and more besides.
