They’ve received comparisons to Joy Division and Nadine Shah, gained support from Guy Garvey and released a very strong debut with ‘Stain’. Now, indie rock newcomers Dead Wells are back with the wonderfully bleak ‘Cold Seas’.

Listen: Amongst Liars share new single ‘Underneath The Surface’
In the spring of 2026, a year on from stand-alone track ‘The Insane Ones’, alternative rock band Amongst Liars released an enjoyable single, ‘Repair Myself’, it showed the UK act in better shape than ever when blending a fuzzy groove-laden heaviness with an almost industrial tinged mechanical quality at times, whilst clinging onto some strong vocal melodies that really helped the track become memorable.
Watch: The Northern Line share new video for ‘Out In The Drift’
In May 2026, The Northern Line released their self titled debut. Its four tracks cared not for the contemporary at the time it hit the streamers, preferring instead to draw a huge influence from the 90s. Bringing the sounds of Madchester and Britpop, the EP – released on the band’s own Mad Fer It label – showcased some great musicianship, as well as spotlighting a band who knew how to work some great hooks…borrowed or otherwise.
They’ve already shared the enjoyable ‘Lightning Strikes’ and ‘Throw a Fist’ as digital singles, but despite only being a short release, The Northern Line have also earmarked ‘Out In The Drift’ as a focus track, complete with a promotional video (which can be seen in full below).

Watch: Celavi share new video for ‘Ar Dy Liniau’
If you’ve been keeping an ear on the metal underground over the past couple of years, you might have encountered Welsh band Celavi. They’ve issued some brilliant singles so far in 2026: ‘Sori’, in particular, did a superb job in giving an instant hit of heaviness via a pleasing nu-metal and industrial mix, with its dirty riffs offset by confident and clean vocals, while the much spikier ‘Morgana’ showed off a brilliant rhythm with a world of pneumatic drums and throbbing basslines, without detracting from the band’s love of huge guitar sounds.
