‘OGdub’ is the second track from the new era of Fred’s infinite, ever-evolving USB album, following ‘you’re a star’ with Amyl and the Sniffers last week. You can watch ‘you’re a star’ HERE.
Fred recently announced the next run of his acclaimed USB series, revealing he will be releasing ten songs and playing ten shows in ten cities around the world across ten weeks.
The first USB002 show took place at Glasgow’s SECC last Friday with Fred being joined by ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U and HAAi. He also debuted an incredible installation by Boris Acket which will be at every USB002 show this year.
The second USB002 show takes place at Brussels’ Gare Maritime tonight with local DJs KŌMA, LAURAVIOLI, DC Noises and SHOPLIFTER. Last night, Fred made an appearance on local station GIMIC Radio, founded by KŌMA, playing alongside all of tonight’s line-up.
Fred’s USB album originally began in 2022, featuring tracks like ‘Baby Again’, ‘Rumble’ alongside Skrillex & Flowdan, ‘Jungle’, ‘leavemealone’ with Baby Keem and ‘stayinit’ with Lil Yachty, as well as remixes from Nia Archives, HAAi and Rico Nasty, before the first collection was released on vinyl as USB001 in 2024.
You can pre-order the forthcoming USB002 vinyl HERE.
Today, PinkPantheress releases recently announced remixtape Fancy Some More?, a reimagining of her critically acclaimed mixtape Fancy That.
Fancy Some More? sees PinkPantheress bring together an international spectrum of musicians, groups and producers, delivering 22 remixes. Remixes come from artists including Anitta, Bladee, JADE, JT, Kylie Minogue, Oklou, Rachel Chinouriri, Ravyn Lenae, Yves, and Zara Larsson; genre-defining groups and collectives such as Basement Jaxx, Groove Armada, SEVENTEEN (MINGYU, THE 8, and VERNON), and Sugababes; and acclaimed producers and DJs including Adame DJ, DJ Caio Prince, Joe Goddard, Kaytranada, Kilimanjaro, Leod, Loukeman, Mochakk, Nia Archives, and Sega Bodega. Each track offers a new perspective to the signature PinkPantheress sound, expanding the Fancy That universe.
Speaking on Fancy Some More? PinkPantheress says: “With this remix project, Fancy some more, I wanted to explore how the songs can live in different worlds while still holding onto the emotion of the original. Hearing other artists reimagine it has been so inspiring. Each remix brings a new energy and texture, while still keeping the heart of the track intact. It’s been so exciting to see Fancy That take on these new, international lives & global perspectives.”
September saw PinkPantheress take Fancy That on the road, beginning with two sold-out shows at London’s O2 Brixton Academy. This month, the anti-pop star heads stateside for the North American leg of tour, starting in Brooklyn with stops in Toronto, Chicago, Oakland, San Francisco and a 4-night residency at LA’sThe Wiltern. 2026 will see PinkPantheress make her Coachella debut before heading to Barcelona’s Primavera Festival for her debut festival headliner performance.
Released in May this year and written and produced by PinkPantheress, Fancy That was created alongside aksel arvid, Count Baldor, phil, Oscar Scheller, The Dare and others, bringing together a collective of creative minds to shape her latest sonic evolution. As she steps into her fun and kitsch-y era, rooted in British culture, the 9-track project showcases her signature vocals and genre-blurring sound.
Today, South Korean superstar singer, actress, and international style icon JISOO unites with multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, producer, and philanthropist ZAYN to release the epic new collaborative single “EYES CLOSED.” Set to expansive, genre-swirling production, the duet captures the nervous anticipation and thrilling freefall of diving into new love without looking back. Listen to “EYES CLOSED” HERE via Warner Records.
The momentous team-up arrives as JISOO continues to delight audiences on BLACKPINK’s Deadline World Tour, which has sold out stadiums on multiple continents already — check out the full, ongoing itinerary below and find more info HERE. Meanwhile, ZAYN is set to kick off 2026 with his first-ever Las Vegas residency, marking the beginning of what will be a massive year as he gears up for his next chapter. Tickets are on sale now — go HERE for details.
“EYES CLOSED” opens on a tender moment. “Time is standing still and I don’t want to leave your lips / Tracing my body with your fingertips,” sings JISOO, and ZAYN replies, “I know what you’re feeling and I know you want to say it / I do too, but we gotta be patient.” Their cinematic story unfolds as the soundtrack deepens — warm keys and raw acoustic guitar mix with throbbing bass synth, and loads of gravity-free atmosphere. Together, their soulful vocals make a vow as they build into the huge chorus: “Say, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed / Better if we keep it where we don’t know / The beds we been in, the names and the faces of who we were with / And oh, ain’t nobody perfect but it’s all good / The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look / Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed.”
Earlier this year, JISOO released her highly anticipated debut mini album AMORTAGE led by the singles “earthquake” and “Your Love,” which she’s been performing during her solo set on tour with BLACKPINK. AMORTAGE is JISOO’s most comprehensive solo work yet and marked a “rebirth” of the global superstar. Taking its name from a fusion of “amor” and “montage,” the four-song set explores the emotional stages of love and the many vivid moments of a relationship. The release debuted at #1 on the South Korea Albums Chart and also spawned the dancefloor-shaking Sam Feldt remix of “earthquake.” Listen to AMORTAGE in full HERE.
AMORTAGE has also solidified JISOO as a bona fide solo force of nature. Beyond generating nearly half a billion streams in less than 6 months, the set earned widespread acclaim. NYLON hailed it as “big, euphoric bubblegum pop that falls somewhere between Kylie Minogue and Carly Rae Jepsen,” and hypebae applauded how “the EP explores the different waves of love — from passion to heartbreak.” EUPHORIA. gave the mini album 4/5 stars, highlighting the way “the record speaks of the flaming nature of that oft-referenced and sung-about emotion we call love. In one, her love is so strong it could produce an earthquake and in another, cosmic laws are broken just because they’re together.” Plus, Billboard raved, “The BLACKPINK superstar delivers sonic surprises, confident vocals and radio-ready tracks to prove her global pop star status,” while NME proclaimed, “It’s refreshing to see JISOO make music as playful as her personality.”
ZAYN, known for his skyscraping vocals and hybrid style of pop and R&B, has left an indelible mark on pop culture. He made history with his debut solo album Mind of Mine, becoming the first UK male solo artist to debut at No. 1 on both the UK and US album charts in its first week of release. The album’s lead single, “PILLOWTALK,” hit #1 in 68 countries around the world and has since been certified 5x platinum by the RIAA. In 2024, he released his raw and revealing fourth studio album, ROOM UNDER THE STAIRS, via Mercury Records to critical acclaim, and embarked on his first-ever solo tour across the US, UK, and Mexico. Most recently, ZAYN collaborated with Borderlands 4 to release “Break Free,” an original song created for the latest installment in the popular video game franchise.
Attracting over 79 million Instagram followers and generating billions of streams, JISOO launched her meteoric solo rise in 2023. She earned accolades and made history with her debut single album, ME, which immediately became the best-selling album by a solo female artist in South Korea and the first to sell more than 1 million copies. With her breakout single “꽃 (FLOWER),” JISOO also became the first female K-pop solo artist to achieve 1 million preorders — before tallying the highest first-week sales by a female solo artist to date and the highest 24-hour viewership of any K-pop music video in all of 2023. The song also broke records for the highest-charting hit by a solo Korean female on the Canadian Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart. Stateside, it catapulted to #2 on the Billboard Global 200 and #1 on the Global Excl. U.S. Chart.
Along the way, JISOO’s influence has also spread across fashion and culture. She has served as a global ambassador for Dior, Cartier, and Dyson in addition to being named the face of ALO Yoga in 2024. That same year, she made waves as “the most-mentioned celebrity during New York Fashion Week” on social media. Plus, she stars in the K-Drama series Newtopia, streaming now on Prime Video. And, of course, she launched her career as part of global girl group BLACKPINK, selling out stadiums, winning numerous awards, and captivating millions of fans worldwide.

September 26, 2025 – Rapidly rising Irish folk trio Amble release their new 4-song ‘HAND ME DOWNS’ EP featuring the title track “Hand Me Downs.” The EP came to life alongside producer Philip Weinrobe, known for his collaborations with artists like Big Thief’s Adrienne Lenker, marking the first time Amble has opened up their creative process to an outside producer. Staying true to their roots, the band performed and sang every song live together, with room microphones capturing the magic. Order the EP HERE.
Amble is in the midst of a prolific run following their debut album, Reverie, which earned acclaim from the likes of NPR, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, and more. Upon its release earlier this summer, the record clinched #1 on Ireland’s Official Albums Chart for 4 non-consecutive weeks.
Amble’s meteoric rise is a testament to their dedication: the trio — Robbie Cunningham, Ross McNerney (mandolin/bouzouki), and Oisin McCaffrey (vocals/guitar) — only formed in late 2022 after quitting their day jobs as school teachers and a data scientist in rural Western Ireland. In just over two years, their captivating energy, descriptive storytelling, and heartfelt lyrics have cultivated a passionate global fanbase, translating into more than 130 million streams and 100K headline tickets sold in 2025.
Amble’s captivating live performances continue to enrapture audiences worldwide. In early September, they began the second North American leg of their extensive sold-out world headline tour, including two nights at Irving Plaza in New York and El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, each sold out well in advance.
This year has also seen them on the festival circuit at Boston Calling, Electric Picnic, and Austin City Limits, in addition to supporting Hozier on his North American arena tour. Click HERE for ticket and tour details. www.ambleofficial.com
Fred again.. today announces the next series of his acclaimed USB releases.

Fred’s USB album originally began in 2022, featuring tracks like ‘Baby Again’, ‘Rumble’ alongside Skrillex & Flowdan, ‘Jungle’, ‘leavemealone’ with Baby Keem and ‘stayinit’ with Lil Yachty, as well as remixes from Nia Archives, HAAi and Rico Nasty; an impressive showcase of the diverse collaborators Fred surrounds himself with.
Fred has been teasing this forthcoming new material for weeks, including at small club shows across the UK and throughout the live set he recorded overlooking Naples’ Piazza del Plebiscito on a fan’s roof right after coming off stage last month. You can watch ‘Rooftop Live (Fede’s Roof, Naples)’ HERE.
HUGE UK AND EUROPEAN HEADLINE TOUR GETS UNDERWAY IN 2026
“Futique is an album to cherish, not just because we get to keep Britain’s biggest and most exciting rock band and witness the continuation of a success story that’ll never stop being surprising, but because it’s a bold, fresh effort full of tunes that are simultaneously immediate and deep.” 4/5 – Kerrang!
“Futique is a bold album that – much like its overarching concept of ‘future antique’ – filters through Biffy’s past, all with the aim of protecting their future.” 4.5/5 – DIY
“Feels genuine and sparky, Biffy’s urgent, passionate music oxygenated by time away.” 4/5 – MOJO
‘’Their knack for forging hook-laden hits really is quite something, especially when you consider that the Scottish trio are now on their tenth album.’’ 8/10 – Classic Rock
Lead Press Shot (c) Eva Petal
Recent months have seen Biffy Clyro deliver all of those attention-grabbing moments that come with their status as one of the UK’s biggest rock bands. From storming Glastonbury and Radio 1’s Big Weekend to headlining TRNSMT, the trio have kickstarted a new era with two Radio 1 A-listed singles and a rapturously received album launch show at HERE at Outernet last night. Everything leads up to today’s release of their new album ‘Futique’.
‘Futique’ is a word for those beautiful, sad and fleeting moments that only become significant in hindsight. It’s an idea that complements revisiting your roots to reassess the future, and that is something that the trio have channelled throughout the record. The record’s atmosphere is as if they have stepped back to their early days as grunge-loving teenagers with big dreams, and applied it to the accomplishment and daring spirit that personified their catalogue from ‘Only Revolutions’ to ‘A Celebration of Endings’. What emerges is a record in which Biffy Clyro’s greatest strengths loom large: towering choruses, searing vulnerability, explosive dynamics, and a love of some unexpected sonic curveballs.
Simon Neil says, “I wanted every song to melodically scale the peak of the mountain, it’s a really melodic record. I also wanted to sing from my heart. When I listen back to our songs I want to feel like I’ve been brutally honest with myself, because what’s the point otherwise? I want to make sure that we make something beautiful that I can listen to in ten years and feel like that was everything I could give at that moment.”
The previous ‘Futique’ singles ‘A Little Love’ and ‘Hunting Season’ have hit the sweet spot between instantaneous hooks and barbed bombastics, while the ragged punk and post-hardcore fury of ‘True Believer’ harked back to the band’s early days. In contrast, the new focus song ‘Goodbye’ sees Biffy Clyro step into a stark confessional adorned by sleek strings before James and Ben Johnston tear into a crashing finale as Simon’s riffs sweep into post-rock territory.
It’s a long that comes from Simon’s changing mindset. As he offers, “I began to realise that I just wanted to feel more present. It’s a reminder that life isn’t just your good times, it’s everything that you experience.”
‘Futique’ is now available to buy HERE. Physical formats include a limited edition Screwfish vinyl and cassette with alternate artwork, both of which are a reference to the very first name they performed together as. There is also a signed limited edition deluxe black and corona red vinyl; a CD zine featuring exclusive content that provides a behind-the-scenes look at the album recording; and regular black vinyl, CD and cassette formats.
Next month will see Biffy Clyro perform a run of special acoustic performances. They will play a matinee and an evening session at each venue, all of which instantly sold-out. Their full scale headline tour then gets underway in January. Arena shows in Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff all sold-out in just 24 hours and were soon followed by Madrid, Oslo, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Offenbach. All other dates are seeing strong demand and remaining tickets are available HERE.

“a brilliantly tantalising taste of where the group’s future lies” – Rolling Stone UK
“NewDad find a winning immediacy and intimacy amid existential angst” – The Observer
“Been on in my car for a long time” – Robert Smith
Irish alt-rock trio NewDad release their much-anticipated second album Altar today via Atlantic Records, alongside its focus track ‘Misery’. Listen to the album HERE.
A song steeped in claustrophobia and inner conflict, ‘Misery’ finds frontwoman Julie Dawson interrogating her own role in cycles of unhappiness. “It’s a song about how sometimes it’s easier to stay in a miserable and uncomfortable place rather than actually trying to make changes and improve your life,” she explains. “Basically it’s easier to mope rather than to fix things. Lyrically the drama is definitely heightened just because it felt like it had to be to match the energy of the song, I felt like I could have real fun with this one.”
Following the cathartic punch of ‘Roobosh’, the wistful tenderness of ‘Pretty’, and the self-doubt reckoning of ‘Everything I Wanted’, the arrival of ‘Misery’ crystallises the themes that run throughout Altar. Written across the aftermath of NewDad’s relocation from Galway to London, the record weighs sacrifice against ambition, and identity against survival.
For Dawson, Altar is both a love letter to Galway and a document of the emotional cost of leaving it behind. Speaking on the album, she adds:
“Altar is an exploration of my relationship with home, of being a woman in the music industry, appeasing people and making sacrifices in order to succeed. It’s about the difference between the peace and serenity of home versus the often suffocating nature of London,” she reflects. “The album itself is where I divulge my love for home. It’s the idea that Ireland is the altar and it’s the thing that I worship, in a way.”
Combining raw vulnerability with razor-sharp ambition, Altar finds the band – Julie Dawson (vocals/guitar), Sean O’Dowd (guitar), and Fiachra Parslow (drums) – shattering the boundaries laid during their 2024 debut Madra, expanding and evolving in both sound and emotional clarity. Where that record reflected on angsty teenage pasts, Altar ushers in a refreshing new era: new feelings, new realisations, and newfound confidence. Dawson’s sharp lyricism and heightened emotional clarity anchor the record, guiding NewDad to deliver their boldest and most confident statement yet. “I’ve learned to trust my gut on this record. I’ve learned to own who I am – messy and a bit awkward. And I don’t need anyone to tell me how to look, act or feel.”
Produced by rising talent Shrink (Sam Breathwick), Altar deftly balances sparkling dream-pop with heavier, alt-rock textures – a sound that feels expansive, bright, and urgent. Its push-and-pull captures the emotional landscape Dawson inhabits: homesickness and healing (‘Pretty’), rage and release (‘Roobosh’), self-doubt and resilience (‘Everything I Wanted’ – co-written with long term collaborator Justin Parker) and the surreal spirals of ‘Misery’. Altar rounds off a prolific period for Julie Dawson following the critical acclaim of NewDad’s 2024 debut album Madra followed by her solo project Bottom Of The Pool to cement her growing status as an indie songwriting phenom.
Since their debut single How in 2020, NewDad have steadily built a global reputation for their immersive alt-rock. Their acclaimed debut Madra saw them tour extensively across the UK, Europe, Asia and North America, supporting heavyweights like Pixies, The War on Drugs, and Fontaines D.C., while earning over 80M streams and the admiration of their hero Robert Smith.
Now, with Altar, NewDad are poised to ascend to new creative heights. Following their biggest-ever run of headline shows across China, Japan and North America, the trio will take the album on the road this autumn for a UK/EU headline run, culminating in their largest London show yet at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. With the full line-up just announced, NewDad will also make their Coachella debut in April next year.

CANADIAN HEADLINE TOUR UNDERWAY AND WILL OPEN FOR KANE BROWN ON HIS UK ARENA TOUR NEXT MONTH INCLUDING DUBLIN’S 3 ARENA ON OCTOBER 3RD
September 19, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, RIAA globally certified 49x Platinum country-pop sensation Dasha returns with “Train,” a moving song about the meaning of home out now via Warner Records. The sweetly wistful cut is the latest taste of the Nashville-based singer and songwriter’s upcoming Anna EP, due out October 10, and arrives just days after she kicks off her Canadian headline tour. Listen HERE and watch the visualizer HERE.
“Train” cleverly connects a single sound to the idea of getting settled into a new place. At the song’s start, Dasha sings about a pesky train she hears outside her window first thing every morning. But as the track evolves, from her stripped-down vocal over acoustic strum to a swell of dobro, piano, pedal steel, and shuffling drums, so do her feelings. In time, the same way a locomotive finds its rhythm on the tracks, that bothersome noise becomes part of her new city’s charm, as she sings the nostalgic hook, “Because time changes everything / You hang some pictures up and make / Habit out of taking the same way to the grocery store / You learn the turns and time the lights, the town you didn’t recognize / Becomes a little more like home.”
“This is actually my first outside cut, which feels so special because Nashville is built on the songwriters and the stories they tell. When I first heard this one, it was like it had been written straight out of my own diary,” shares Dasha. “It instantly took me back to being 18, leaving home and moving to Nashville to study songwriting at Belmont, figuring out who I was and trying to get comfortable in a brand-new world. All those emotions are wrapped up in this song, and I’m so grateful I get to be the voice behind it.”
A solo write by veteran Nashville songwriter Kyle Sturrock, who just celebrated his first number 1 with Blake Shelton’s “Texas”, the new single follows the flirty and fiery “Like It Like That,” whose official video stars Love Island’s Rob Rausch and entrepreneur/influencer Briley King. Before that came the deeply vulnerable “Oh, Anna!” and, of course, “Not At This Party,” a certified Dasha banger that’s generated over 127 million streams to date, spawned a remix by GRAMMY® Award-winning superstar David Guetta, and which Dasha brought to NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for a boot-stomping performance — watch HERE.
Dasha, born Anna Dasha Novotny, recently announced the forthcoming Anna EP with an intimate message for her followers: “Getting back into the studio and writing helped me find myself again. This project is part one of my story. I’m still learning about Dasha, but I’ve remembered who Anna is. I can’t wait for y’all to get to know her, too.”
She’s been on a roll of late — turning heads at the 2025 MTV VMAs, where she was nominated for Push Performance of the Year; picking up a Best New Female Artist nod at the 2025 ACM Awards; and racking up acclaim by lighting up the Mane Stage at Stagecoach Festival. About the latter, GLAMOUR said, “Her childlike excitement was contagious, the ecstasy of a performer finding her audience, and the crowd roared.” Earlier this summer, she joined Thomas Rhett on the road. She is currently on a headline run throughout Canada, and next month she’ll support Kane Brown on his UK arena tour including Dublin’s 3Arena on October 3rd. Tickets and info HERE.
Dasha broke out with the 2023 release of her now globally 40x Platinum smash single “Austin (Boots Stop Workin’)” from her debut country album What Happens Now. With the help of a Dasha-choreographed line dance, the song became a worldwide sensation, taking over TikTok, honky tonks, and radio waves worldwide while amassing more than 1.5 billion streams.
What followed was nothing short of sensational. Dasha landed coveted spots at country music meccas across 2024, including Stagecoach, Austin City Limits, CMA Fest, and the CMT Awards. She then sold out her first headlining world tour, Dashville USA, and performed on two of TV’s biggest broadcasts: the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. “Austin (Boots Stopped Workin’)” went on to become one of the most-streamed country songs of the year and won the Female Song of 2024 at the People’s Choice Country Awards.
Stay tuned as Dasha shares more and more of herself and her vision in the lead-up to Anna.
