If you are a fellow music enthusiast like me, then you will know about the mass releases we’ve seen plastered all over our socials this week. Jack White, Rolling Stones – even Bring Me The Horizon’s repented version of a twenty-year old classic.

But what about those that go under the radar? Dive into these trio of new projects below that you should really get to know more of…

Innovative NY post-hardcore trio make the voyage into even deeper waters with timeless Alone Together. Drawing on both hip-hop and sludge metal, Show me the Body have been doing things their way since ’09. From one debut to a collaborative mixtape, SMTB have been a driving force in a ever-growing community of max persistence.

One of the most diverse acts to traverse the plains of the American hardcore scene, SMTB now bring it all together with one of their boldest yet. Alone Together – featuring standouts Eat for Peace and No God – is an emotional pout-out leaving no drop spare. The tact few have no problem in becoming the matyr for the people – a “stand up or sit down” mentality, this blend of hardcore is an embrace worth fighting for.

A growing cornerstone in London’s moody decor, Mouth Ulcers declare their state of independence with their debut EP this week. With a sound rooted firmly in post-punk and dark wave, the four-piece bring their graveyard hauntings to the underground. Having already played in Hackney’s Paper Dress Vintage, along with a host of multi-venue festival country-wide – not to mention Kentish Towns’ O2 Forum shortly, they’ve made their presence already known.

Mancunian natives Cutscene pave the way with their brooding art-punk immediacy on first release, A Piece of Life. Cut from the same cloth as Westside Cowboy and Holly Head, Cutscene bring together a cadence of guitars onto a surreal strip of life and leisure. Hold the front page: indie-shoegaze has a new contender.

This float-in-the-clouds trope is made up of Seb Mason (vocals/guitar), Jack Ellis (bass), Jacob Shotton (guitar), Ollie Little (drums). For its choked-up moments, comes its clarity. A searing light through the canopy, it darts about the place seemingly unaware of how blissful it is. For the most part, it’s about losing perspective.

Detailing their EP, the group stated: “The EP is live sounding and energetic, navigating through powerful vocals and dream-like guitar work. A lot of it is inspired by the surroundings in our hometown of Durham, blending beauty with surreal, suffocating images.”
