Another week has passed, and with it comes an exciting selection of new music releases. Thanks to your fantastic recommendations and submissions, our Noteworthy Nods playlist is packed with fresh tracks this week. Your taste is on point, and we hope this weekly roundup serves as the perfect soundtrack for your weekend.
“This week’s selection brings a diverse mix of sounds from a range of artists who never fail to impress. Lock-In sets the tone with the blissful, early summer vibes of their new single ’11:11,’ while The Sherlocks deliver another massive arena rocker with ‘Everything Must Make Sense.’ The Spitfires have just announced nine UK & Ireland tour dates alongside their passionate anti-war single, marking their first new release in three years. Meanwhile, the mighty Ash brings a seriously groovy take on Harry Belafonte’s classic ‘Jump In The Line.’ And these are just a few highlights from the 45-minute playlist you can check out below.
Supporting emerging talent is at the heart of the music community, and we’re always thrilled to help foster that connection between artists and fans. When you discover a new band through our playlists and recommendations, taking a moment to share your excitement on social media can have a huge impact. A quick tweet, Instagram post, or retweet might seem like a small gesture, but it helps amplify the reach of these rising artists and grow their fanbases. These simple acts of support cost nothing yet provide invaluable exposure for musicians working tirelessly to get their music out into the world. We’re always grateful when our readers pay that kindness forward by sharing their own discoveries with us.
Whether it’s through Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, our team—including Howard Gorman, who keeps his DMs open for recommendations—is eager to hear about the new acts you’re passionate about. So, let us know what you’ve got to recommend that might have passed us by.
