Bullet Brain is a statement record. Fast, fierce and emotionally charged, it captures ALRIGHT at the exact moment potential turns into momentum. This is the sound of a band outgrowing the grassroots and stepping into something far louder.

Lovin You is not just a return, it feels like the perfect album for this moment in his career. it’s a reaffirmation that @richardashcroftofficial remains, defiantly and gloriously, one of Britain’s most vital voices.

After a decade away from the studio, Britpop hero’s @dodgyband.bsky.social return with Hello Beautiful, and it’s a reminder of just how good they are

thisisthe.music.blog/2025/09/23/h...

You’re welcome. It was great to meet you too. Looking forward to today’s Xposure show!

@matildashakes.bsky.social return with a statement of intent with Light It Up, a track that’s as urgent, anthemic, and electrifying as anything you’ll hear this year.
