'A.D.' by 32 tens

 

 
 A single released on 15 May 2026.

Been a while since I featured some bad arse rock music.

Great indie rock song from this British group from the Northwestern UK town of Warrington.

Get rockin', as they used to say.

"Mamma Don't Cry" by Joan & the Giants

 

 
Missed this one back two weeks ago at the end of April.

I have listened to new releases before from this Melbourne based alt pop-rock band (whatever that means) only have never featured any of them.

Don't be fooled by the long intro that sounds sort folksy as it is really not what the song is about. 

It takes nearly a minute (around 0.52) to hit it's stride and become a really great rock song.

'Is This Real' by overpass

 



From the EP of the same name released on 29 April, 2026.

First came across this Birmingham band back in 2021 with the release of 'Otherside of Midnight' in February that year, one of my favourite songs from that time.

There have been been many more, with that clean, guitar Indie sound.

This is one of those.

'Highwave' by Moon Taxi

 


From their new album of the same name, released March 6, 2026.

This is a very cool US indie rock song by this well established group that you probably have never heard of.

First came across these guys back in 2018 with the release of their album "Let The Record Play", where I see from Spotify I 'liked' "Two High", "Good As Gold" and "No More Worry", all from the same album.

Three songs from one album is usual for me, so I remember waiting in anticipation for Moon Taxi's next releases, only to find myself skipping the 'Silver Dream' album in 2021, and then liking 'Set Yourself Free', from the album of the same name, released in 2023 - still my favourite Moon Taxi.

Moon Taxi are an indie/alt‑rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, in the USA and actually have been active since 2006.

This is what used to be one of the joys of Spotify: discovering bands who are 'BIG' in the vast US market, for example, and that you have never heard of. 

A discovery process that has got so much harder as Spotify continues to relentlessly push it's 'Made for (you)' and 'Discover Weekly' algorithm (now read AI) generated play lists.

Bring back humans.
