James Hype makes a monumental return with his latest single, “Behaviour,” a sharp, attitude-filled club record that expertly pairs his trademark high-voltage energy with the iconic voice of hip-hop veteran A.D.O.R. The track hits hard from the very first second, delivering a tight, rolling groove, bold vocal chops, and the kind of intense tension-and-release moments James Hype is known for creating in packed rooms around the world. Leaning into a darker, heavier sound anchored by gritty bass and crisp drum work, “Behaviour” feels explicitly designed for sweaty, late-night clubs and festival crowds waiting for the one track that flips the room upside down. A.D.O.R, best known for the classic tracks that defined 90s hip-hop, brings the perfect edge with his confident, rhythmic, and instantly recognizable vocals, adding a raw presence that cuts through the mix and ensures the track’s massive identity.
Heavy Psych Trio Mount Palatine Reveals Cosmic New Album ‘Wormholy World’
Finnish heavy psych metal trio Mount Palatine has just revealed the full details of their massive upcoming album, titled ‘Wormholy World’, which is slated for release on February 6th, 2026, through Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records on CD and digital formats. Along with the highly anticipated announcement, the band has presented their hypnotic new single and official video clip, “Newborn Sun.” The band, founded in Helsinki, grew from years of long-term musical chemistry and a creative force driven by instinct, featuring the talents of Jean the Baron on guitar and vocals, Count Boogie on bass, and Lord of the Groove on drums.
“Newborn Sun” is the colossal closing track of ‘Wormholy World’, clocking in at over ten minutes of massive, hypnotic psych-metal. The band commented on the track’s effortless creation, noting, “The missing piece appeared almost naturally, and two songs took shape. ‘Newborn Sun’ flowed out nearly in the same form it appears on the album. The lyrics came just as effortlessly with the chorus calling for mantra like channelling. At its core, ‘Newborn Sun’ proclaims a universal vision of the eternal cycle of life while carrying a deeply personal resonance.” Their sound moves seamlessly from crushing sludge-charged riffs to hypnotic psychedelic atmospheres, and from fierce screams to ethereal clean passages, ensuring every song becomes an immersive journey.
The trio’s signature blend draws deeply from doom, stoner, sludge, progressive metal, and psychedelic rock, creating music that is intense yet fluid, spiritual yet heavily grounded. Lyrically and thematically, ‘Wormholy World’ explores cosmic and spiritual domains, reflecting powerfully on existence, creation, decay, and the ultimate mysteries of the universe. The band stated that the album is “an ultimate trip through destruction and recreation, the chaos of life and the universe itself.” They added that the album builds on the psychedelic heavy jams that define their style, with all songs created and arranged through continuous riffs and live interplay in their rehearsal space before Mactus the Magemaster finalized the cosmic clarity of the recordings. Fans of Elder, Stoned Jesus, Mastodon, and Down will certainly find plenty to explore in this heavy, visionary new work.

Vicious Bishop Deliver High-Octane Ska-Punk On New Album ‘Raining Guillotines’
Formed in 2021, Vicious Bishop is a punk, ska punk, and punky reggae power trio hailing from the Lancaster/Morecambe area, featuring the incredible talents of drummer Dave Nuttall (ex-Toy Dolls), bassist Adz Woods, and vocalist/guitarist Rich Davenport (ex-Radio Stars). Taking core influences from legends like The Clash, The Ruts, Stiff Little Fingers, and Rancid, alongside deep cuts of vintage reggae, rocksteady, and ska, Vicious Bishop focuses entirely on delivering memorable, uplifting songs with absolute maximum energy. Their 2024 debut EP, ‘Miracle Formula 168’, perfectly showcased their raw, melodic sound and even featured guest spots from Andy Ellison, Sham 69’s Dave Parsons, and Micky Geggus from the Cockney Rejects, setting a high bar for their full-length follow-up.
Picking up exactly where the EP left off, the band is back with their first full-length album, ‘Raining Guillotines’, featuring ten high-octane shots of punk, punky reggae, and ska punk, all infused with hints of rocksteady and hardcore, maintaining the band’s dedication to crafting memorable melodies and ear-grabbing arrangements. The new single, “Take It As A Win,” features a fantastic duet with frequent collaborator Andy Ellison, the iconic musician whose journey started in the mythical 1960s pop art band John’s Children. Rich Davenport explained the inspiration, saying the song is about the pleasure, pain, and adventures provided by being in a band, noting that “Any band that wants to survive in the 21st century needs a sense of humour, a passion for the music, realistic expectations, and a keen appreciation for their audience.”

Alex Little Confronts Fear And Finds Melody On New EP ‘Spider In The Sink’
Vancouver’s purveyor of melodic grit and garage-pop heart, Alex Little, has just released her excellent new EP, ‘Spider in the Sink’, available now on Light Organ Records. Fans of raw emotional intensity coupled with soulful delivery—the kind found in the music of Wolf Alice, Sharon Van Etten, and Blondie—will find plenty to love in Little’s mix of fearless honesty and rock energy. Written and performed with her guitarist and partner, Adam Sabla, and produced by James Younger of Yukon Blonde, the five-song collection sharpens her sound into something leaner, rawer, and wonderfully self-possessed. It is a striking record that drags fear into the light and finds pure melody in the mess, full of tracks that pulse with soulful defiance and self-reflection in equal measure.
Across ‘Spider in the Sink’, Little writes with the distinct authority of someone who has fought her way back to solid ground. The artist bravely confronts her own cycles of anxiety with clarity and dark humour, singing, “My brain is not a friend, it is a bad enemy,” on the powerful title track. The track “Forever” absolutely glows with self-realization, boasting the hard-won clarity of the line, “I finally figured out that there’s actually nothing wrong with me,” while the closing track, “Finally Safe in the World,” offers the record’s quiet triumph, its chorus lifting like a long-held breath finally exhaled. Little herself explained the broad scope of the project, sharing, “Spider in the Sink’ is about so many things. I think most importantly, it’s about taking back your own power, a power that you always had but didn’t use. It’s about acceptance of your true self as a whole, the past and all the horrible and good things that happened to get you to where you are now.”
Raised in Vancouver in a household surrounded by both rhythm and color, Little’s instincts were shaped by her musician father, drummer Taylor Little, and visual artist mother, Pauline White. Her childhood home was filled with sketches and Bowie records, alongside the sounds of The Replacements, The Beatles, and Iggy Pop, an eclectic mix that shaped her drummer’s sense of dynamics and her songwriter’s melodic flair. The band, featuring Sabla’s wiry guitar lines, Tony Dallas on drums, and Hayz Fisher on bass, sounds alive and beautifully unfiltered. Lead single “Sounds Like a Deal” remains the record’s most biting moment, turning media exploitation into a searing garage-rock sneer, while “Kid” offers bittersweet clarity, and “Finally Safe in the World” lands as a hard-won peace.
Already part of the Light Organ and 604 Records family since 2019, and with her acclaimed debut under Alex Little and the Suspicious Minds behind her, Little has earned a reputation as one of Vancouver’s most magnetic songwriters. Supported by a trusted circle of collaborators, she continues to expand her reach without losing the raw soul at the center of her sound. ‘Spider in the Sink’ captures an artist in full bloom: fearless, deeply human, and absolutely ready to be heard far beyond her city’s borders, solidifying her status as a crucial voice in modern indie-rock.
Irish Auteur Annie-Dog Drops DIY Single “My Honey” Ahead Of Dublin Show
Irish auteur Annie-Dog shares her captivating brand new single, “My Honey,” released today via AWAL, alongside the announcement of her debut headline show at Dublin’s iconic Whelan’s in late January. The song is a wholly DIY track, written, recorded, produced, and mixed by Annie-Dog herself. Influenced by idiosyncratic artists including Dean Blunt and Alex G, “My Honey” is a bittersweet, shapeshifting alternative pop song. The contrastingly soft vocal delivery complements the personal theme, which focuses on the breakdown of communication within a relationship. Her voice delicately sits among moving electronic elements and unrelenting drums, suggesting the artist would much rather dance out her feelings than talk them through.
This release arrives ahead of what promises to be a mammoth 2026 for the enigmatic musician, with more new music and live dates aplenty confirming her position at the forefront of the rising indie elite. Annie-Dog’s hypnotic medium of existential indie-pop musings has already attracted countless high-profile plaudits across the press landscape. Key champions emerged quickly, including The Guardian, The Fader, NME, and DIY Magazine. Furthermore, the track has earned spins galore on the BBC 6 Music shows hosted by Deb Grant and Tom Ravenscroft, as well as significant airplay on Radio X with John Kennedy and RTÉ with Dan Hegarty.

French Doom Force NORNES Drops New Album ‘Thou Hast Done Nothing’
French doom metal powerhouse NORNES has released their crushing new album, ‘Thou Hast Done Nothing’, available today, November 28th, via Sleeping Church Records. This record marks a significant transition for the band, who focused on extra effort in song structure and captivating atmospheres following recent lineup changes, resulting in a project worked like a five-act film score. The title, Old English for “Those who have done nothing,” reflects the core theme of the album: humanity’s ongoing decline and the endless cycle of mistakes, symbolized by the cover art, a 1940 painting illustrating man blindly shaping the heavy block of his own destiny.
Sylosis Announces New Album ‘The New Flesh’ And Massive UK/EU Tour
Today marks a massive moment for metal fans as Sylosis has revealed the first concrete details of their highly anticipated seventh studio album, titled ‘The New Flesh’, which is slated to drop on February 20th, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band shared the energy and intent behind this new era, stating, “Introducing ‘The New Flesh’. This is us solidifying the lineup of the band and moving forward with a new sense of purpose and aggression. After having spent so much of the last two years on the road, ‘The New Flesh’ and the songs that will follow from the album have been written with the live environment in mind. There is an energy running through these songs that we’ve never felt on a Sylosis album, until now. We’ll see you all in 2026.” That quote perfectly sums up the intense power driving this new material.
The eleven tracks on the new album promise to deliver that newfound aggression and purpose Sylosis described. The tracklist includes powerful titles such as “Beneath The Surface,” “Lacerations,” “All Glory, No Valour,” “Mirror Mirror,” and “Spared From The Guillotine,” culminating with the title track, “The New Flesh.” This album feels like a genuine statement of intent, cementing the lineup and channeling their immense live power directly into the studio recordings.

Community leaders, partners, and dignitaries from across the region came together to celebrate this milestone moment for Hamilton.
“As Hamilton continues to grow, TD Coliseum is a world-class venue that will draw visitors from around the world,” said Ontario Premier Doug Ford. “This venue will be a game-changer for the city’s economy, helping revitalize the downtown and generating tens of millions of dollars in economic growth.”

Ian Harrison Drops Emotionally Charged New Track “If You Ever Loved Me”
Ian Harrison has just released his latest track, “If You Ever Loved Me,” and it is absolutely captivating. The song arrives with lush, expansive production, a cathartic chorus, and a lamenting melody that makes the experience equal parts demanding and deeply melancholy for the listener. The lyrics detail the final, crushing showdown at the end of a relationship, essentially serving as a plea for an elusive sense of closure, begging a former love for one final act of mercy before the inevitable separation.
Harrison shared the powerful inspiration behind the track, saying, “If You Ever Loved Me’ is a song inspired by the feeling of letting go. The push and pull of slowly growing apart resulting in one person giving the last act of love someone can: leaving. An idea that stems from the saying ‘if you love them, let them go.’ Holding on might suffocate a person and not give them the ability to grow and change. When it all comes down to the end, distance can be a bittersweet gesture of affection.” This thoughtful reflection reveals the deep emotional intelligence driving the song’s narrative.
The track showcases Harrison’s ability to take a painful moment and translate it into a compelling piece of music, full of dynamic shifts and melodic strength. It is a song that rewards listeners who appreciate honest, reflective lyricism paired with sophisticated musical arrangements. The demanding chorus and melancholic core ensure “If You Ever Loved Me” resonates long after the final note fades.
