JULY 31ST, 2026 –– Just in: all of your favorite new music releases and fresh faves in one place.

It's our favorite time of the week again – Fresh Faves is back with drops from TX2 all the way to a brand new version of the Plain White T's hit 'Hey There Delilah' ft the iconic LØLØ. Plus, TOP8 Scene Canadian faves Kennedy Von Kat and Living Room For Small are back with tunes you wont want to miss.

You want a pop-Punk round up?

Set Your Goals are back with new music finally, and we couldn't be more stoked. 'Accelerate' marks their first release since 2014, so we're excited to see where this new era brings them. No Pressure hit us hard with their new album 'NP Style, ' full of energetic bangers that will carry you throughout the rest of the summer, PLUS Stay Safe just dropped 'CATASTROPHE' – it's clearly a good week for the genre.

Now onto our HEAVY HITTERS:

Kicking it off with Iridium's 'ENDGAME' –  It's definitely not endgame for us because if they keep staying this consistent with their drops and the way they master a heavy track, we may have another TOP8 fave.

Next up is Left to Suffer and 'Unwelcome Guest' lets just say Taylor Barber and the whole band know what they are doing, and they do it VERY well. Deathcore to the max.

You know the drill: grab your drink of choice and catch the vibes. See you next week! Check out the full list of drops below:
