Blondshell (real name Sabrina Teitelbaum) is originally from New York, USA, and is now based in Los Angeles, California, with music composed and written by herself.

Such a great Indie Rock song, even if Spotify calls it bubblegrunge (eh?)


Really like the driving beat, and the guitar backing and breakout is very cool.

Been a while since I featured some bad arse rock music.


Great indie rock song from this British group from the Northwestern UK town of Warrington.


Get rockin', as they used to say.

Missed this one back two weeks ago at the end of April.

I have listened to new releases before from this Melbourne based alt pop-rock band (whatever that means) only have never featured any of them.
Don't be fooled by the long intro that sounds sort folksy as it is really not what the song is about.

It takes nearly a minute (around 0.52) to hit its stride and become a great rock song.

From their new album of the same name, released March 6, 2026.
This is a very cool US indie rock song by this well established group that you probably have never heard of.

First came across these guys back in 2018 with the release of their album “Let The Record Play”, where I see from Spotify I liked ‘Too High’, ‘Good As Gold’ and ‘No More Worry’, all from that same album.

Three songs from one album is unusual for me, so I remember waiting in anticipation for the release of Moon Taxi’s next releases. Only to find myself skipping the “Silver Dream” album in 2021, and then liking ‘Set Yourself Free’ from the album of the same name, released in 2023 - still my favorite Moon Taxi.

Moon Taxi are an indie/alt‑rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, in the USA and actually have been active since 2006.


This is what used to be one of the joys of Spotify: discovering bands who are 'BIG' in the vast US market that you have never heard of.


A discovery process that has got so much harder as Spotify continues to relentlessly push it's 'Made for (you)' and 'Discover Weekly' algorithm (now read AI) generated playlists.


Bring back humans.

'Skint' is a new release by the Chicago group, The Dead Bolts, from their upcoming, as yet unnamed new album.

Really have a lot of time for these guys, with their January 2025 song Beau Monde, hitting one of my most played songs for that year - it’s really got some truly amazing guitar work.

Check out the Skint video, really coolest, deliberately amateur video you going to see in a while.
