Texas country-punk ensemble Vandoliers have released ‘Your Picture’, the latest single from their upcoming album ‘Life Behind Bars’, which is due out June 27 via Break Maiden Records / Thirty Tigers. Written while bandleader Jenni Rose was away from her family on tour, the tender song is inspired by a picture of her wife and daughter she always carries with her. The accompanying music video is a sentimental balm for the yearning of being close to a loved one.

Virgin Orchestra released their new EP, ‘Let It Burn’. The EP was recorded in Sundlaugin Studio, a former swimming pool situated just outside of Reykjavík that was transformed into a studio by Sigur Rós. The release is the follow up to their 2023 project, ‘fragments’, which caused a stir in Iceland and beyond. The release is a dynamic collection of tracks that fuse post-punk, classical, and shoegaze into a beguiling blend, all anchored around the entrancing vocals of Stefania Pálsdóttir.

Finnish thrashers Indemon are set to release their debut album ‘Reclaiming Chaos’ on the 27th of June via Inverse Records. The band have shared the second single ‘Necessary Evil’, which follows the album’s first preview with the title track ‘Reclaiming Chaos‘ The band comments: “The album’s slowest, but perhaps heaviest song, deals with a very specific and dangerous addiction. It’s that certain ever-growing feeling that you can’t shake off, which becomes a necessary evil to achieve satisfaction.
