At the end of 2025, UK crossover act Premier Jester released ‘Slow Dance’, an absolutely crushing single that took a metalcore sound into more interesting places. The track’s hard edges really made a statement, and the choice of melodic chorus helped to make an insanely heavy number seem surprisingly catchy. With a perfect production value for the style and an overflowing of confidence on display, it was hard to believe the band could deliver such a well rounded, great sounding track considering they’d only formed just a few months together.

Charlie Nieland shares new video for ‘Today’
Charlie Nieland’s ‘Stories From The Borderlines’ was one of 2025’s best albums. Nieland’s willingness to jump between genres and blend styles created an always interesting listen, and whether he was heard channelling 80s goth and indie sounds or paying tribute to 70s glam, the amount of love he applied to the record’s creation was more than clear.
Watch: SoftSun share new video clip for ‘Anywhere But Here’
During the last quarter of 2025, desert rock duo ‘SoftSun’ released their second album ‘Eternal Sunrise’. Since their debut LP was a near flawless slice of deep psych infused desert/stoner, there was a great deal riding on ‘Eternal Sunrise’ in terms of overall quality, but it’s fair to say that it was everything fans of the debut could’ve hoped for.
Bowling For Soup team up with able machines for spirited cover of Elastica’s ‘Connection’
The always entertaining Bowling For Soup are kicking off what promises to be another successful year with a cover tune. Teaming up with able machines (featuring power pop cult hero Linus of Hollywood), they’ve reworked a 90s classic, Elastica’s ‘Connection’, and created something even more indebted to new wave than the original cut.
The Dandy Warhols to release covers collection ‘Pin Ups’ in March
On 20th March 2026, The Dandy Warhols will release ‘Pin Ups’, a collection of reimagined cover tunes, presented on vinyl, CD and digital formats. The record – which obviously borrows its title from David Bowie’s much celebrated covers album from 1973 – contains recordings made over a number of years, and includes unreleased material. It finds the band putting their stamp on artists as diverse as The Cramps, Grateful Dead, Marilyn Manson and The Beatles.
