Rising Australian duo VOWWS have been drawing attention and stirring a quiet, confident buzz in their chosen home of Los Angeles in the lead-up to their highly anticipated new album – which has not gone unnoticed by some conspicuous peers in the artist community. VOWWS already count the likes of Deftones, Korn, A Perfect Circle, Gary Numan and Billy Corgan amongst their fans owing to their singular blend of industrial electronica and alternative rock. Singer-keyboardist Rizz and singer-guitarist Matt James have elevated their sound and artistic vision, creating an adventurous, unique work set to make a mark in alternative music in 2025. Kicking off things in true VOWWS style with the powerful single “Blood’s On Fire” (which features Foo Fighter’s Josh Freese on drums), the track landed multiple playlist additions on Spotify and Apple Music plus spins on BBC Radio 1. The band’s new single “Hurt You” is a different shade of dark, and a more sensual mood in contrast to its predecessor. Stream and watch the video for “Hurt You” now!Continue reading

ALBUM REVIEW: Pvris – Evergreen
Evergreen (Hopeless Records) is a very ambitious album and frankly by far the most thematically well-rounded and best effort from Pvris yet. Lyndsey Gerd Gunnulfsen has seamlessly planted a flag on the moon here, showing it was her that made this project special all along. Not only a queer champion, Gunnulfsen is a top-notch creator and performer who can back it up with grade-A material with startling philosophical depth amidst the beats and hooks.
