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?

Trauma Party Offers Roll Up It's The New Truth Filled With Spirals Of Despair And Sonic Relief4/9/2026 
Trauma Party
Roll Up (It's the New Truth) New Zealand The final release from the latest EP from New Zealand post-punk zone Trauma Party, Roll Up takes the fire and begins to light the next. It highlights the increasing right-wing political rhetoric that is sweeping not only New Zealand but the world. The pendulum swing of tidal sentiment is beginning to sweep over the prudent and territorial side of human nature. Our laws are there to prevent human nature from getting out of hand. Has our tendency to help others and support each other got so bad? Or have we become too cosy in our cushioned existence, and some are beginning to see it? Whatever the causes, extreme right-wing policy is harmful to most and only benefits a minority. When the masses are convinced that they are that minority, that's when the trouble starts. A music video filmed at their local clubhouse in the moonlight, visceral anger and frustration make the song even more pointed. Let's Roll Up, It Is the New Truth. A solemn tone takes the lead and carries out a soaring guitar and chords that dirge in a sombre march. The drums and vocal hit, snapping snares and angry kick frame the emotional torrent of distaste for the ideas in the move. A punk edge hollers in discordant intrigue while the main layer hangs from the harmony like a monkey-bar kid swinging from left to right and back again. The progressive nature reveals inventiveness and riff change that push the sentiment boat into various harbours to admire the inward view. Intense and frustrated, Trauma Party keep the heat in their hands as they explore their passion for human connection and unsanctimonious altruism.

Riley Max
Year One Colorado She's only 21 and yet has already determined a definitive path in music and academia. Colorado-born Riley Max currently studies at Harvard, where she reads Art, Film, and Visual Studies. As the music director for The Harvard-Radcliffe Veritones, her experience and commanding hand in the field gives her an immediate head start when it comes to writing, recording, and putting on a show. Her debut record ROY G BIV reached critical acclaim, released when Riley Max was just 18. As she finds the time within her tightly packed schedule to sculpt another record, Riley is ready to up her game again. Year One is about her first year of Harvard, and how tough it became. You must find your own sense of motivation when a lot of the world wants to pull you in. A part of life that many can feel familiar with, out on your own, this is Year One. Sombre and resonant acoustic guitar strums through delicate phraseology before Riley Max begins to sing. A dainty timbre pours like evaporated milk across the contours of emotion borne from the choices of note. The story is told, verse like paragraphs sit aloft the gentle swish of chord and change. Riley Max is leaning in close, intimate and honest, a drum enters to rise the dough. Gentle heat pours in on convection currents of charm as string adds a pretty harmony within the mix of vocal and strum. A jazzy feel in the percussion gives character to the rhythm section as the vocal draws a dream with symbolic and meaningful lines.
