HotWax – ‘Hot Shock’ review: a blistering debut from future rock titans

Back in 2023, snotty breakout single ‘Treasure’ saw HotWax deservedly championed as the next great guitar band to come out of Britain. Plenty of big moves followed, including a couple of urgent, riff-tastic EPs and support slots with childhood heroes Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Royal Blood and The Libertines, not to mention an NME Cover. The Hastings trio have put all of those expectations and their time on the road into their blistering debut album ‘Hot Shock’. READ MORE: HotWax are […]

Six Sex – ‘X-Sex’ review: electrifying, X-rated fun

At just 26, Six Sex (aka Francisca Agustina Cuello) has crowned herself the queen of perreo rave. Hailing from Villa Tesei in Buenos Aires, she’s been setting dancefloors alight with her warped, high-octane fusion of reggaeton, dancehall, and club-ready electronic chaos. Her 2022 breakout project ‘Área 69’ catapulted her from underground raves to this year’s NME 100, and now, with ‘X-Sex’, she doubles down on the lawless energy that made her a cult icon. This isn’t just music — it’s […]

Alissic has spoken to NME about her hypnotic new single ‘Concrete’, and shared news of a forthcoming EP. Check out the song below, along with our full interview with the Brazilian-born avant-pop artist. Released today (March 7), ‘Concrete’ marks the first new music from Alissic (real name Alissa Salls) since 2022, ushering in a bold new chapter after parting ways with her former label Ministry Of Sound.

Meet South Arcade, the Oxford quartet blending Y2K genres into one riotous sound

There is no denying that the Y2K aesthetic is well and truly back. Low-rise jeans have made their resurgence, while Timbaland– and Darkchild-inspired production is slowly making its way back to pop (thanks Tate McRae!). But the 2000s were broader than just Britney, and few bands are highlighting that multifaceted aspect of the Y2K era quite like South Arcade. Formed by singer Harmony Cavelle and guitarist Harry Winks, who were later joined by drummer Cody Jones and bassist Ollie Green, […]

Melin Melyn: the Welsh psych band addressing harsh realities with colourful absurdity

The sun rises over the pastoral Melin village. Six workers ascend a hill, towards the magical mill where the music that the villagers so dearly love gets made. Edvard Grieg’s ‘Morning Mood’ is playing, and all is well in the world. But when the millers arrive, disaster strikes. “A landlord from a nearby city wants to knock down the mill and build a car park,” Melin Melyn frontman and founder Gruff Glyn tells NME. “But by doing that, it would […]

Jacob Alon is making fantastical, vulnerable folk music

On a quiet day in suburban Fife, exploring the woodland next to their hometown by the seaside, Jacob Alon once found magic in a dead bird. They were young, and this was a mystical but peculiar beauty they hadn’t found around the estates by their house. They kept finding the same breadcrumbs of beauty in broken shadows on the beaches, odd shells, fallen branches and anything remotely strange in this boring part of Scotland.

The Orchestra (For Now) capture the city’s fast-paced neuroticism with maximalist ‘London prog’

Lately, it seems London’s experimental rock scene is locked in a love affair with maximalism. Black Country, New Road have pivoted from the acerbic post-punk of their first album to the sprawling pastoralism of Joanna Newsom or Arcade Fire; Caroline make post-rock as an eight piece with its own complete string section. With their debut EP ‘Plan 75’, The Orchestra (For Now) have distilled this sound into its most essential form: sonically manifesting the neuroses that could only develop from […]

Beckah Amani – ‘This Is How I Remember It.’ review: a bold, expressive debut

For singer-songwriter Beckah Amani, music is a means for finding a home anywhere. Born in Tanzania to Burundian parents, then moving to Australia as a child, she made sense of the worlds moving in and around her through songwriting, influenced by everything from her family’s heritage to the Western pop and indie artists she had grown to love.

Gigi Perez: The chart-topping ‘Sailor Song’ star who’s building her own community

Gigi Perez says her incredible breakout success is hitting her “in waves”. Earlier last month, the 24-year-old topped the UK singles chart with ‘Sailor Song’, a lusty folk ballad that opens with a truly captivating couplet: “I saw her in the rightest way / Looking like Anne Hathaway.” Alongside Billie Eilish’s ‘Lunch’ and Chappell Roan’s ‘Good Luck, Babe!’, it adds to a banner year for queer female representation: ‘Sailor Song’ has also scaled the charts in Australia, Singapore and Perez’s […]

Uche Yara – ‘Honey’ review: a woozy, yearning EP sizzling with ideas

One year after her debut single ‘Www She Hot’, Uche Yara remains difficult to pin down. The Austrian multi-instrumentalist’s early tracks have darted between indie, R&B and psych rock, led by a similarly dextrous vocal: spanning airy falsettos on ‘Www She Hot’, pained groans on ‘homesick’ and playful vocalisations on ‘ZUU (Zoo)’. Following her fun, saturated EP ‘Golden Days, ‘Honey’ represents another left-turn: a more restrained, singer-songwriter-facing collection. While it feels insubstantial as an EP, it is not short on […]
