Listen to this week’s edition of UNDISCOVERED, featuring our pick of the best new music from the world’s most exciting emerging musicians.
This week kicks off at full throttle with ‘Pray To That’, a high-octane anthem from London’s own Fat Dog. Fresh off a buzzed-about Glastonbury set, the band charges in with headbanging riffs and unfiltered post-punk energy that screams indie sleaze revival. The same gritty nostalgia pulses through Aussie outfit Radio Free Alice, whose latest track pairs shimmering guitars with punchy vocals and a blast of ‘80s new wave cool.
NYC’s Geese dive into darker territory with ‘Trinidad’, a jagged rock cut that frontman Cameron Winter cheekily leaked on Instagram before its official release. Back in London, genre-shifter BLACK FONDU blurs the lines with ‘im not sleeping’, a moody, hyperpop-meets-punk track soaked in melancholia, while rap collective Frozemode flex hard with razor-sharp bars over a relentless, drum-heavy beat.
Porij bring the sun with a funky, piano-laced groove perfect for late summer afternoons. Meanwhile, V.I.C drops ‘40 Doors’, a confident, lyrical flex set to angular piano loops that cut like a knife.
Turning up the heat, Shavanique teams up with Grammy-winning producer EchoSlim for ‘Bad For You’, a sultry R&B slow-burner laced with sensual swagger. On the harder end of the spectrum, London’s Damzz comes through swinging with a no-holds-barred banger, while Monterey J serves up something smoother in ‘South Side Fantasy’, a jazz-infused, neo-soul dreamscape soaked in South London charm.
