To celebrate the release of their new album Waiting To Burn, goth-rockers Hana Piranha have now shared their raucous new single Silk and Poison, out now. Each track on the album overflows with powerful guitar riffs, pounding drum beats and snarling vocals from leading anti-heroine Hana Maria(violin/vox). Hana’s vocal pierces through the fierce musicality effortlessly, sounding akin to the likes ofJuliette Lewis or Garbage’s Shirley Manson. Hana Piranha are a band that breach genre with their use of traditionally classical instrumentation, such as violin and harp, in a hard rock setting. Hana’s razor sharp violin licks are undeniably impressive, enabling that band to create a sound that is dark and tantalising.

Oozing with atmosphere and celestial soundscapes, ACRYLIC’s staple blend of sweeping guitars and tranquil harmonies are at the forefront. Director Dylan Moore describes the video as about "coming to terms with a relationship which has come to an end, and this is manifested as a performance between two figures unfolding like a memory. Beginning with a passionate embrace, the figures eventually succumb to the tension that exists at the boundary between love and possession. The video is about taking off the rose tinted glasses, and realising that sometimes the best thing for both of you is to let go and move on."

Glasgow based four-piece Closet Organ have released their AA-side single Smells Like Lynx Africa / Fat & Die: An Autobiography, out now via Cow Tongue Taco Records. As they say themselves, “the one thing that we never wanted to be is yet another band full of boring bastards playing the same generic indie/classic rock pish that is indistinguishable from the band that came before them.”. Having achieved this goal with aplomb, Closet Organ have set about unleashing a AA-side single that sonically packs a punch and lyrically challenges. Having lost a close friend a year ago, the single explores themes of mental health issues. The lyrics tackle the difficulties of dealing with our own mental health while attempting to gain approval and validation from our social media interactions.
