July 10, 2026 Plain Mister Smith Releases ‘Dream Gigantic’, Teasing Sophomore Album

Plain Mister Smith Releases ‘Dream Gigantic’, Teasing Sophomore Album

Plain Mister Smith returns with ‘Dream Gigantic’, released via Amelia and Symphonic Records, offering a first glimpse into his upcoming sophomore album, Bric-a-Brac Attack, due later this summer. Originally recognized as the guitarist for seminal darkwave band Moev, the Canadian artist also brings his classical sensibility as a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra. As Plain Mister Smith, he has garnered critical acclaim from outlets such as NPR Music, Wonderland Magazine, CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Under The Radar, Earmilk, METAL, Noctis Mag, and Atwood Mag.

​‘Dream Gigantic’ draws on Plain Mister Smith’s longstanding fascination with Paris, inspired by the city’s luminous calm in the wake of the Olympics. The single navigates themes of romantic possibility and longing, propelled by a kinetic acoustic drum groove, lush keyboard textures, and a bass line that drives the track forward. Findlay Brown’s Americana-folk vocals intertwine with the soulful, jazz-inflected R&B of JUNO Award-winner Krystle Dos Santos, creating a layered vocal interplay that deepens the narrative. The track is poised to connect with listeners who appreciate the melodic craftsmanship of The Beatles, Leisure, and Tame Impala.

Plain Mister Smith had this to say: “With ‘Dream Gigantic’ I tried to convey that sense of balmy exuberance that happens when it’s the height of summer, and whether you are in a bubbly Paris cafe or a park in Tokyo, the New York Subway or anywhere really, you’re having the time of your life with someone you love.

July 3, 2026 Kendall Gallo Releases New Single ‘The Wrong Right’ on June 25

Kendall Gallo Releases New Single ‘The Wrong Right’ on June 25

On June 25, singer-songwriter, producer, and multidisciplinary artist Kendall Gallo unveiled her latest single, ‘The Wrong Right’. Gallo’s songwriting is rooted in the subtle internal landscapes that define personal identity, navigating the tension between vulnerability and resilience, longing and liberation. Rather than offering resolution, her music interrogates these emotional dynamics, inviting listeners into a space of reflection.

​‘The Wrong Right’ was born in the quiet hours of a late-night bedroom session, with Gallo pouring most of the lyrics onto the page in a single evening, embracing the rawness and imperfections of her first ideas. She began with a looping guitar line that set the mood, crafting an initial demo before teaming up with a producer to broaden the song’s sonic palette while preserving its emotional heart. The track continued to take shape as Gallo played it on repeat during a two-hour drive home from the studio, each listen subtly guiding the outro and final direction until the mix felt just right. Musically, the song weaves together layers of guitar, bass, drums, atmospheric synths, and Gallo’s expressive vocals. Intertwined guitar parts propel the song forward, while ambient textures carve out space and intimacy. At its core, the song is a meditation on the quiet realization of inner misalignment.

Kendall Gallo shared: “To me, ‘The Wrong Right’ is about the moment where something inside you wakes up and you realize the life you’ve been living no longer aligns with who you are. There’s a bittersweet feeling in that awareness — it can feel painful, but also strangely comforting at the same time, almost as if the awareness itself is the thing that means it’s all going to be okay. At its core, the song is about reconnecting with what matters, rediscovering what’s true to your soul, and refusing to swallow the pill of modern day society.

June 29, 2026 Chloe Star Drops Powerful New Track Exploring Recovery and Resilience

Chloe Star Drops Powerful New Track Exploring Recovery and Resilience

Chloe Star unveiled her latest single, ‘Walking On The Sun’, this past weekend via Chloe Star Records. The 28-year-old Persian and Indigenous singer-songwriter, visual artist, and tribal advocate was raised between her family’s reservation in San Bernardino and Los Angeles, drawing early creative inspiration from her cultural heritage. Beginning with journaling and art as a pre-teen, she developed a songwriting style rooted in emotional candor and authenticity, which has steadily expanded her audience since her emergence in 2023. Her track ‘Bad Habit’ was highlighted by Rolling Stone in the 2025 Best New Music: Songs You Need to Know feature. Star’s live presence has included main stage performances at London Pride, as well as appearances at New York Pride Festival, Back Lot Bash in Chicago, Out & Abt in New York, and The Dinah in California.

​‘Walking On The Sun’ finds Star honing her alt-rock foundation, fusing trap-influenced percussion with distorted, overdriven guitar textures. The track builds tension through layered instrumentation before breaking into an anthemic hook, where raw rock intensity collides with modern urban rhythms. Star’s commanding and magnetic vocal performance anchors the song, lending it a sharp, contemporary edge likely to resonate with listeners of Julia Wolf, Machine Gun Kelly, and Sleep Token.

Chloe Star shared: “This song is about the corruption I’ve seen in the treatment and rehab industry, where profit often seems to matter more than genuinely helping people recover. I’ve been through facilities that made me feel like they were more interested in keeping me sick so I would keep coming back. Fortunately, I was later blessed to find an incredible rehab center that truly cared about its clients and wanted them to get better. That experience changed my life, and it was the last rehab center I ever attended.

June 26, 2026 Morphide Push Forward With Emotionally Charged Sophomore Album ‘Mental’

Morphide Push Forward With Emotionally Charged Sophomore Album ‘Mental’

Latvian modern metal outfit Morphide are continuing their rapid ascent with the release of Mental, a powerful sophomore album that marks a significant step forward for the band both creatively and commercially. The release arrives as the group surpasses 7 million combined streams across digital platforms, further establishing them as one of the Baltic region’s fastest-rising heavy acts.

Since first emerging in 2019 with their debut single Mayhem, Morphide have steadily expanded their presence beyond their home territory, bringing their sound across Europe with performances in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Their momentum accelerated with the release of debut album Anhedonia, created alongside producer Forrester Savell, known for his work with Animals as Leaders, Twelve Foot Ninja, and Karnivool

Now, with Mental, the band appears focused on pushing its sound into even more ambitious territory. Mixed and mastered by producer George Lever, whose credits include Sleep Token, Loathe, and Thornhill, the new record combines progressive complexity with emotional depth.

Described by the band as their most personal work to date, Mental explores themes of grief, healing, and transformation through crushing riffs, atmospheric textures, and dynamic vocal performances. At the centre of the record is Of Healing, a five-track conceptual suite inspired by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief model, featuring chapters such as Denial, Anger, and Bargaining. The album also highlights the band’s range through tracks including Reborn, Epicaricacy, Save a Lie, and cinematic closer Take Me Back to the Other Side
