JULY 10TH, 2026 –– Just in: all of your favorite new music releases and fresh faves in one place.

We already let you know that Kiss the Scientist released their latest drop, 'Life You Want,' the track captures the feeling of wanting someone by your side no matter what. Let us just say, it's been on repeat ever since it was released earlier this week, but that's not the only fresh fave we've got for you.

Milwaukee pop-rock newcomers hot mess are back with their latest single, 'Take Me Home,' and its more than fun. The song blends pop-rock hooks with just the right amount of pop-punk flavour, we know you'll love it. The fresh faces only have a handful of tracks, but if this release is anything to go by, hot mess are a band you'll want to keep on your radar.

Now onto our HEAVY HITTERS of the week:

It's a huge day for Bring Me The Horizon fans; we've all been anxiously anticipating the re-recordings of 'Count Your Blessings,' and it's finally here and just as heavy as it was back in '06, giving BMTH everything they've been asking for. We are not exaggerating when we say its SO GOOD! Metalcore faves Of Virtue just released their crushing new single 'The End.' The track pulls on themes of burnout, identity, and finding hope in the chaos. One thing we know? Of Virtue are entering their next chapter stronger than ever.

Mental Cruelty comes in dropping 'Serpent Of Midgard' it's dark, intense and powerful, the perfect addition to your playlists to go with your morning coffee or Redbull whichever gives you that extra boost besides the tunes of course.

Along with DevilDriver's 'Sanctified In Scars' a great song to blast in your car while the person next to you looks concerned (they don't get it) but we do in the best way.

What a fantastic day for music, lets keep the pit spinning until next week!
