This trip to the Singles Bar promises a proper mixed bag. We’ve got indie rock, pop punk from one of Cornwall’s finest exports, some well crafted electronica with ambient undercurrents, a hugely radio friendly track from Northern Ireland, and even a guest spot from a genuine legend. And that’s just for starters! As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy…

Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we explore some of the more interesting individual tracks that have landed in our inbox over the past few weeks. This time out, we’ve got the return of an up and coming singer songwriter, a quirky piece of alt-pop, a retro sounding synth banger, a solid offering from a still-new Irish vocalist, and more besides. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!

This visit to the Singles Bar shares several interesting tracks, showcasing the variety of sounds that, arguably, are really helping the music scene to feel particularly interesting, at the mid point of 2026, amid a UK heatwave. We’ve got LGBTQ+ themed pop-rock, some great synth pop, an inspired metal cover, some absolutely superb country pop/roots rock…and more besides. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!

We’ve reached the middle of 2026 already, and for the first half of the year, submissions to our Singles Bar have been coming in fast. Naturally, there hasn’t been the time to highlight everything we’ve enjoyed from week to week, and a lot of great tracks have not made the cut. Passing these by would be an absolute tragedy, so, as is traditional at the end of June, we’ve pulled some of the “best of the rest” together for our SB Summer Special! These were picked from a staggering 230 track selection, but we feel they best capture the Singles Bar spirit. We hope you can spare the time to explore this selection of tunes, and as always, hope you find something new to enjoy. Remember: good music does not have a sell-by date!
