Everyone is a little bit emo and anyone who was part of the mid-west emo scene of the early ´2000s knows that most songs were the same. There was some guy either singing about unrequited love, not feeling at home in their town, or longing for a place they would finally fit in, imagining leaving […]

One creative mind we have been obsessed with in design since forever is that of French punk, Charlie Le Mindu. The multidisciplinary artist first caught our eye when collaborating with Francois Sagat, the pair cooked up many a twisted nightmare together..all in the name of fashion. Le Mindu is perhaps best known for his work […]

If Ora Cogan hadn’t been steadily releasing music since 2010, Loverboy would surely be naming her a One to Watch in 2026. In fact Cogan is such a new discovery for us, that as we write this we are learning that she played down the road from us at the end of last year and […]

British producer, Shy One, just dropped the massive ‘I Can Tell‘ giving us Detroit Techno but fresh out of London. The track, featuring the smooth vocals of fellow-Londoner George Riley, is the lead single from her upcoming album, Mali, out 12th March. ‘I Can Tell’ is a huge tune, with rollicking big beats and showcasing […]

Blame it on the seasonal forced festivity, but Loverboy found ourselves creating an ever so angry, industrial playlist this Christmas filled with the joys of Maquina., Model/Actriz and Suicide. Well, it seems Mandy, Indiana are delivering presents late […]

The Philadelphia based artist George Alley has released a new interpretation of the traditional English carol The Holly and the Ivy, recasting the familiar hymn as something darker and more unsettled. Moving between moments of stark restraint and swelling intensity, the track blends horns and electronica with echoes of 1960s proto-punk—channeling the ritualistic atmosphere associated […]

London-based trio PVA return with ‘Send‘, a new single that pushes further into the darker edges of their sound. Anchored by a thick, rubbery bassline that nods to the raw bite of the electro-clash era, the track pairs spoken vocals with clipped electronics and a slow-burn sense of pressure. ‘Send’ finds the band refining their […]
