Sleep Theory
Epitaph Records

Sleep Theory’s debut Afterglow marks a bold entry into modern hard rock, blending metalcore, pop, and R&B with emotional intensity. Produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects), the band’s dynamic sound and Cullen Moore’s commanding vocals position them as a breakout force, reshaping the genre with anthemic hooks and raw energy.

Arm’s Length
Pure Noise

There’s A Whole World Out There captures the ache of hindsight with emotional clarity and evolved maturity as frontman Allen Steinberg channels personal growth and reflection into expansive, heartfelt songwriting. Though rooted in past pain, the album leans forward, blending raw emotion with polished instrumentation. A bold, cathartic leap forward for the Canadian emo quartet.

Josê James
Rainbow Blonde Records

Inspired by the trailblazing fighting spirit of Bruce Lee, James cements his reputation as a genre-defying innovator a la heroes Miles Davis, Erykah Badu and David Bowie. Featuring an all-star lineup including Ben Wendel, Takuya Kuroda and BIG YUKI, Revenge of The Dragon searches through the streets of New York, LA and Tokyo to find the perfect gritty slice of late 70's jazz.

Tune-Yards
4AD

Better Dreaming is ferocious in its invocation of self-love, of collective action, of dance floor liberation, ego-death deliverance, and a future we could all thrive in. When diving into the present darkness of the world, Tune-Yards asks themselves how much literal energy and joy can be conjured and pumped through the music. In its life-affirming art-pop of the apocalypse, Better Dreaming comes true.
