Highly regarded singer, composer, and producer Johan Lenox shares his brand new single Running Running Running, a dreamy alt-pop gem featuring American singer, songwriter, rapper and record producer Quadeca. The follow up to last month’s Finally, featuring Alé Araya, Running Running Running is the latest single to be taken from his upcoming album Full Speed Nowhere, out on October 31st. This gem showcases the unique blend of both artists and the result is a hypnotic and immersive listening experience that won me over from the start. I am loving those dreamy vocals which glide effortlessly over the infectious production that pairs…
Standon Calling Festival will return in 2026, but without a camping option and with no after dark raves. The Hertfordshire festival has not run since 2023 and announced at the start of last year that the steep increase in the cost of running the event had left the organisers no choice but to postpone future events. Now, after a series of local council meetings involving festival founder Alex Trenchard, a licence has been approved for the festival to return in 2026, on the condition that the capacity does not exceed 20,000 people, including staff and performers, and that attendees will…
Labi Siffre has issued a cease-and-desist order to Tommy Robinson over his use of ‘(Something Inside) So Strong’ at a recent rally. The song featured prominently at the “unite the kingdom” rally in central London on September 13, which was organised by the far-right activist Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. The track has also been used by Robinson in posts on social media. In an interview with The Guardian, Siffre, 80, has said that Robinson is “breaking all sorts of copyrights”, adding: “Even in an era when theft is easier than it ever was, it’s still theft.” The 1987…
Lola Young has pulled out of her Washington DC set at All Things Go, a day after she collapsed on stage in New York City. The singer appeared to fall ill while performing ‘Conceited’ at the New York branch of All Things Go on Saturday (September 27), and was carried offstage by a medical team.

After six long years, Aussie prog-rock titans Cog have finally dropped fresh music – their powerful new single, ‘Walk the line’. It’s the band’s first release since 2019’s ‘Drawn Together’ single, and it arrives with all the trademarks that have made Cog one of Australia’s most enduring heavy acts: hypnotic guitar swells, thunderous rhythm work, fluid basslines, and Flynn Gower’s commanding vocal presence. Cog – ‘Walk the line’ But behind the towering soundscape though, ‘Walk the line’ hits on something more sobering. “Life for the three of us is fucking hard at the moment,” Flynn admits. “Almost everyone I know…
Lana Del Rey has joined a local band on stage after she overheard them covering her song ‘West Coast’ – watch footage below.

Del Rey happened to be walking nearby during the performance and, hearing her song, she approached the band and asked if they would mind if she joined them as a guest vocalist. The band captured footage of the unlikely collaboration and…

“Thank you for the best night of my life,” Zach Bryan told the crowd on Saturday night (Sept. 27) at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor — which is saying something for a guy who’s had a lot of those during the past seven years. The 27-song, nearly three-hour show, the 29-year-old country star’s last of 2025, made history on a couple of levels. It was the first-ever full-scale concert at the home of the Michigan Wolverines, known as the Big House, in its 98-year history. It’s also expected to be the largest ticketed concert ever in the U.S., breaking the…

Big Thief have revealed they have already made their next studio album, telling fans it is “not what you expect”. The New York indie-folk trio released their sixth record ‘Double Infinity’ just three weeks ago (September 5), which included the singles ‘Incomprehensible’, ‘Grandmother’, ‘All Night All Day’ and ‘Los Angeles’.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, founding member Buck Meek was speaking about the reception for the new album, and teased: “Wait till you…
