• L.A. two-piece post-punk band The XRAY5 “Strange Girl” single
  

’80s stirring atmospheric Post-punk nostalgia imbues the band’s new single where darkness falls on a lost and lonely ghostly “Strange Girl” as she suffers in isolation and pain, soaked in an immersive dramatic aura woven by enveloping wistful synth strings and sombre guitar melodies, punctuated by tinkly emotive keys, bleak chugging bassline and hypnotic tight beats, to surround shifting emotional vocals of worried sadness and hopeless fear with endless spirals of heartache and despair.

• Bremen, Northern Germany Dark Wave /Gothic Rock /Post-Punk band led by Fabian Schulz, Attic Frost “How Will the World End Today?” first single from the upcoming third album “A Sad Thought Made Dance”.
  

Blackened Darkwaver from Bremen unleashes a rousing and haunting epic, goth-dusted cavalcade brimming with urgent pain-fueled thoughts, throbbing breakneck on hard-hitting beats to drive fear through a dire hopeless rush of rapid humming bass vibrations, swirling synth drama and bleeding guitars, obsessively piercing and resonating over cold baritone broods, ceremonially sulking in the doom and gloom of “How will the world end today?”

• Bay Area goth /wave /post-punk /synth-pop duo Red Scare “A Fool Won’t Ask Why” debut single
  

A blend of melancholy and euphoria, reminiscent of New Order or OMD, drives the debut from the Bay Area duo laced with nostalgic ’80s hopeless romance that bounces through obsessive pulses of bittersweet shiny synth loops, far swirling shimmers and ominously swelling droning bass lines, to slowly haunt breathless angsty vocals, aching in the confusing feelings of love.
