Another week, another batch of bangers. Our Noteworthy Nods playlist is back and hotter than ever, thanks to your spot-on submissions and finely tuned music radar. So, whether you’re soundtracking your commute, your weekend wind-down, or your “dance like nobody’s watching” moment, we’ve got you covered.
This week’s over-an-hour-long playlist includes new singles from the likes of The Amazons with “Night After Night,” another absolute stormer and harbinger of their soon-to-be-released new LP 21st Century Fiction; Michael Gallagher makes a welcome return with a catchier-than-ever track begging to be played on every summer playlist; Turin Brakes have an important message for everyone ahead of their forthcoming Spacehopper LP; whilst SNAYX strut their stuff once again with a face-melter of a follow-up to last January’s “Breathe.” And that’s just scratching the surface.
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 don’t be a strenger. Let us know what you’ve got to recommend that might have passed us by.
And that’s not all! Our Noteworthy section is packed with exclusive videocast interviews featuring musical talent we’re sure will soon be your new favorite artists. Missed an episode?
