Genre Origami From Chris Connelly Folds Punk With Bounce To Honour Lou Reed With House Of 70s9/9/2026 
Chris Connelly
House of 70s Shipwrecked Industries The legend of alternative rock Chris Connelly is shining an unusual light. In his album, Doo Wap in the Dark: A Portrait of Lou Reed, the post-punk and alternative sound Connelly is known for through works with Fini Tribe, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, and more, is pivoted and retargeted at something ripe for evolution. The single from the record is currently House of 70s, a rock song that explores the work of Lou Reed during the early to mid-seventies. Based in New York, the song recognises the end of the hippy dream and the fast-turning days toward ultra modernity. An interesting avenue to walk down, Lou Reed was an artist who famously loved Doo Wap and arguably helped create the punk movement. He clearly deserves a portrait in music. From Perfect Day to Wildside, let’s go back in time. This is House of 70s. A cosy radio sample calls out to refresh the air before a melodious and bendy guitar lick begins the tune. Snare-led drumming carries it through as chords take over. The lyrics enter, with his synonymous punk vocal sound. Chris Connelly begins an easy-going swagger through early heavy rock sounding strumming and rhythms. The beat is quick and snappy; the chords project a sweeping melody with tangible distance between the changes. The juxtaposition of styles finds a neat spot, and as the backing vocals and harmonica break, the spiral of psychedelic enchantment only gets more intense. Elements of Hawkwind with The Animals blend with Velvet Underground vibes, all splashed with vivid green paint.

Mel Denisse
Hunted Nashville Not only has she been placed on the Spotify New Rock playlist, BBC Radio 1 also put her on their alternative music show. She’s also been featured in Ladygunn and Ones to Watch. Her alternative pop rock delivery takes pages from psychology and narrative to create emotionally relevant and thoughtful songs with a unique, upbeat sound. Claiming her own duality, Mel Denisse captures the soul of leftfield alternative pop and expertly frames it with a spikey alternative rock sound. It’s always an adventure with each new piece, with fans and media alike saying they never know what’s coming next. Back once more with another version of her secret formula, here is Hunted. A chunky guitar with a warm tonal distortion chugs the music into action before a glitchy drum break brings in an electronic boosted organic kit sound. The guitar continues as Mel Denisse begins her song. The pretty, haunting quality of her voice creates a mysterious quality of fairytale and magic. A synth and guitar roil together in choppy beats that crackle with the fire of something deep inside. A musical mosaic, each layer adds a new meaning to the harmony of vocal, instrument, and percussion. It’s not heavy and yet it carries so much weight, the pack horse style embrace of the density is more than impressive.

Robin Ross
Blood Lines Featuring Carmine Gontz Pennsylvania Described as in the same vein as legends like Judas Priest, Ozzy, and Jack's Maze, Robin Ross and Carmine Gontz present Blood Lines. Written about ties being deeper than blood, some people earn the right to be more than family. We must cherish them for as long as they want us around. The band Jack's Maze were in the room when Blood Lines was written and performed. It was produced and mixed down at Baa Baa Leaf Music Studio in Milford by Robin Ross and engineer Jonathan Duckett. Grabbing a theatrical rock spinal column and fleshing it out with epic and almost gothic sentiments, the music relives the era of old and proves it still matters in modern songwriting. Thicker than water, it is Blood Lines. A powerful drum crack begins the music then it settles almost immediately into a kind of rock n roll dreamscape. The vocal hits, Robin Ross begins with epic Jethro Tull style lyrics full of mythic symbolism. As the verse progresses, the operatic delivery captures a gust of air which elevates the whole song. Drums, guitar, voice, and lead, they all collide in harmonious flourishes of destined unison. As they flutter in the breeze of soul moving story quakes, ghostly mirages and heartfelt fishing lines manifest around us, calling us into the future. Let's meet it together.

Los Tres Mortales
Bourbon United States Featuring members of Sunshine Blind and The Wake, Los Tres Mortales punch out a hole in the cultural sphere with their debut single. Bourbon was released just last week and featured as a premiere in Post-Punk.com. I've been looking forward to writing about this for ages. A gothic rock blend of modern sounding avant-garde, Los Tres Mortales capture the cowboy sense of wild-west danger and wide-open potential. Created from a network of friendships that built up over several years, Caroline Blind, CWHK, and Troy Payne found a space for creativity they could actualise. Featuring a lead guitar track by the gifted Rich W, also of The Wake, Bourbon was mastered by William Faith for that go-to classic goth sound. Straight from the bottle, here it is. A sinister atmosphere unveils as the guitar strums in the shadows. A burst of drum then brings out the song; guitars throb in odd harmonies as the bass and kick thump to the beat. A twin vocal then gives rise to the dream, foreboding and enchanting, the inward drama manifests and curdles. A steady pace drives in the groove as the spooky chords ring with grit and misty reverb. A smooth verse and chorus style chops around like harbour breakers, capsules of intent make a mix that grows and adjusts, forming unique shapes in the mind.

Karim Panzetta
Not Made For Loving You Germany Blending deep and sensual RnB with contemporary pop and alternative groove, the international music producer and singer Karim Panzetta brings his latest single, Not Made For Loving You. Drawing on dark and atmospheric cinematica with modern sounding pop, the song continues his trademark sound with another moving storyline. It's written about when you realise that a relationship isn't working and by saying the right things to keep it going, you're being dishonest. Not everyone can make it work, even with the best of intentions, and for Karim, being up front is the only real way to deal with the dissonance. Better a broken heart than a damned soul, I suppose. Written and recorded by Karim in his home studio and produced by Karim and Grammy-winner Riley Urick, it's a home grown and professionally manicured work that shows authenticity in practice. If you've not heard it yet, then tap in and check it out. A retro 90s soul melody casts a nostalgic spell over the airwaves before Karim begins to sing. His RnB delivery hits the tone as the synths waver and waft in bubbles of melodious space-age sounds. The rhythm bursts with breaks and bumps as bass dives into the ball pool, touching the bottom and lifting again, Karim keeps a smooth and measured pace along the flow of beats and shifting melody. It's laid-back with sound, yet the subject is tense and deep, it has its own heaviness that we can't ignore.

Tommy Arch
Lovehearts Whitley Bay Growing up in a beautiful part of the North of England, country and blues musician Tommy Arch had an appetite for music from across the Atlantic. A fan of Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, and Otis Redding, he also found a love for Bob Marley and Van Morrison. That 70s laid back rock n roll groove helped to build a classically sounding modern variant on the genre that Tommy has built up over the years. Playing a variety of instruments for several bands, Tommy Arch has recently begun to craft another personal journey. A definitive country edge held in the opposite hand greets mindful and emotionally relevant songwriting that has the hens eating from his hand. About the rollercoaster of casual love, catching feelings, and pretending you're not really flesh and blood but a textbook, all that turmoil fits into Lovehearts. Taken from his double A release, it pairs with The Cold Side of the Bed. The loss that makes us realise what we had, it has to start somewhere. This is Lovehearts. A mosey rhythm ensues, the fun-filled character of horseback inspired wandering through open country scenes captures a sense of new energy. The twin guitars of Tommy Arch and Hels Pattison play in unison and harmony across the wafts of meaning spun through verses. Their dual voices complement one another as the tone of the male female pairing builds space within that resonates with charm and delicate humanity. A chug chug feel keeps us moving through the passages with greased ease, a dreamy sense of here and now captivates the momentary equality of passion and desire. Go with the flow, but don't get carried away. Too late?
