YUNGBLUD – Zombie
A massive ol' power ballad from YUNGBLUD here. Already from what he's revealed so far, next month's Idols album is going to be something ambitious – even for him. Dealing with seeing changes in his grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, it's an unsurprisingly emotional journey. And talking of idols, the video HAS ONLY GOT FLORENCE ACTUAL PUGH IN IT. Very good work all round.
Rise Against – I Want It All
Not a cover of Queen's sassy banger, but the latest look at latest cut from Rise Against just-announced new album Ricochet, dropping on August 15. It is, though, a banger in its own right. Big enough to get a nice, big sing-along when they hit the Apex Stage at Download in a fortnight. Get practicing!
grandson – BRAINROT
grandson's changing a few bits up on his forthcoming third album. This lead-off track about the cranium-mushing power of the internet, he says, was the first one of his tracks ever done with all live instruments. He says he wants to capture something more natural, more rock’n’roll with it. Job done, sir.
