As we head even further into a new year, submissions for the ever popular Real Gone Singles Bar continue to be very interesting. This time around. We’ve got a perfect homage to those 90s classics from the 4AD label, the return of a great retro goth band, some British skacore, and even a lo-fi oddity that proves surprisingly effective. With a couple of rocky tracks along the way and some well played Americana, we hope most people will find something new to enjoy.

Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we explore some of the more interesting tracks that have been submitted over the previous few weeks. This time around, there’s some perfect dream pop/indie sounds, a huge stoner friendly piece of deep psych with a heavy edge, some AOR, a superb track with a jazz influenced vocal…and more besides. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!

Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we throw a spotlight on some of the best new tracks that have landed in our inbox over the previous few weeks. It’s quite a rocky selection this time out, with an Irish band fusing some early 90s riffs with a distinctive voice, a groove laden track that takes the bones of garage rock and adds a heavier twist and a rock band reworking a 70s classic in an even harder style, but there’s variety too, with a dash of country and a couple of singer songwriters awaiting your attention. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy…

With January now underway, this visit to the Singles Bar offers a great and varied selection of new and recent sounds. We’ve got a pair of power pop bangers, the return of some industrial legends, some alternative electronica from a band making their debut in 2026, and more besides. There should be more than enough here to remind people that Real Gone is so much more than “a metal site”, setting us off with best foot forward for the coming year! As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy…
