A run through of April’s new releases
Luna Rosa
The Luge
Luna Rosa return with The Luge, a long-awaited comeback that sees Rory McDade and co. pick up right where they left off — only sharper, darker and more urgent. The Corby outfit channel their trademark brooding alt-rock into a track that twists and surges with intent, balancing tension with release. After years away, it feels purposeful rather than nostalgic, with their upcoming Black Prince show set to mark a fitting next chapter.
Oscillator
Worry
Oscillator introduce their new chapter with Worry, a hazy, slow-burn that leans into shoegaze textures and dreamy indie atmospherics. Formerly the Gonzo Experimental Band, the rebranded outfit bring a tighter, more focused sound, whilst staying true to their trademark layered guitars and woozy melodies. Developed from early demos and brought into focus with producer Angus Wallace, it draws you in quietly — subtle at first, but increasingly immersive with every listen.
Gogo Loco
…When The Wheels Come Off
GoGo Loco let rip on …When The Wheels Come Off, a swaggering rockabilly romp that captures the chaos and camaraderie of life on the road. Driven by a Bo Diddley-style beat, twanging guitars and infectious rhythms, it rolls along with a knowing grin and plenty of grit. Lifted from their self-titled album released last month — and available on vinyl — it’s a toe-tapping, road-worn gem.
Tiebreak
Make Shift
Latent Dream
Wonder
Latent Dream build momentum with Wonder, the Northampton four-piece’s third single, fusing space-tinged guitar lines with a punchy alt-rock core. It balances widescreen atmosphere with restless drive, pairing shimmering textures with a propulsive edge that keeps things grounded. With echoes of Green Day, The Cure and Interpol, it captures a band tightening their identity while sharpening their immersive, live-driven sound.
Breaker
Poseidon
Breaker make a splash with debut single Poseidon, a forceful track that surges with heavy alt-rock energy and a darker, oceanic undertow. Built on pounding drums and dense, wave-like guitars, it feels both turbulent and controlled, pulling between chaos and precision. There’s a mythic weight to it — brooding, immersive and deliberately unrelenting — as the band lean further into a more powerful, expansive sound.
Maddox Jones
It Ain’t Perfect But It’s Home
Maddox Jones keeps it close to home on It Ain’t Perfect But It’s Home, a bare-bones acoustic track steeped in Northampton pride. It takes us on a tour of Shoetown, guided by gentle guitar and an unguarded vocal, with nods to first loves and familiar streets. Honest and unpolished in the best way, it’s a reflective, quietly affectionate snapshot of home.
Kenneth J Nash
Wayfaring Stranger
Kenneth J Nash returns after a hiatus with Wayfaring Stranger, a reimagining of the traditional folk song and the first taste of his forthcoming album. Co-produced with J M Jones, the track features contributions from Fran Taylor, it unfolds in a sparse, atmospheric arrangement that leans into the song’s natural melancholy. Accompanied by a video shot on location in the Forest of Dean by Nash and his wife Sarah, it’s intimate, grounded and quietly powerful.
