Seattle-based mandopop duo Chinese American Bear share their new single, ‘No No Yeah Yeah (不不好啊好啊)’.

Memorials return with ‘Cut Glass Hammer’, a quietly mesmerising lead single from forthcoming album All Clouds Bring Not Rain, and it’s a reminder of how powerful understatement can be. Inspired by Yoko Ono’s glass hammer artwork, the track plays with perception and repetition, building something subtly disorienting out of very few moving parts.

There’s something very satisfying about a punk band who don’t overstay their welcome, and The Molotovs understand this instinctively. New single ‘Get A Life’ is over in under two minutes, but it does exactly what it needs to do in that time: kick the door in, shout its piece, and disappear before anyone can argue back.

LOUD WOMEN Fest 2025 alumni ACTRS (FKA Friend of Franky) from Brighton have released 'Hear Me Out', so we finally have a chance to listen to the studio version of the beautiful track we first heard played acoustic (and with less sweary lyrics!) on the LOUD WOMEN radio show on Resonance 104.4FM back in July. Now we can hear the song they describe as "a love letter to queer situationships and the chaos that tends to follow" in all its glory!
