JUNE 26, 2026 –– Just in: all of your favorite new music releases in one place. Let us tell you, it's been a MASSIVE week for releases with 40+ handpicked tracks added to the playlist.

Starting off strong, this week has been huge for Bring Me The Horizon fans old and new. The legendary band just released their first new deathcore drop, 'Dehumanized,' in years, throwing the vibes back to 2006 ahead of the re-recording of their album Count Your Blessings. The track is easily one of our favorite BMTH releases in the last few years, making us feel nostalgic with this refreshed sound.

Toronto band TRY THIS AT HOME just released the official recording of their track called 'Save Sneaky Dee's' with help from WinterMute and Megan Oquias. The track was written in hopes that other bands would follow suit and help spread the word about the beloved venue being in danger of getting torn down. Read more here.

Ray Hawthorne is back with 'Wrong,' channeling the highs and lows of sobriety. The drop is a raw yet infectious pop-punk anthem and one of his heaviest yet. Rock outfit Two Point Oh dropped 'The Sun', the first single off their upcoming debut album Silver Stars. Gatlin Black is keeping the momentum rolling with 'Easier Days,' an alt-rock track packed with emotion, driving instrumentation, and a reminder to keep pushing forward. Portland punks Triple Lutz crank the intensity on 'Dead Grass,' a blistering cut from their debut album In the Hands of an Angry Mob.

More notable releases include Crown The Empire's 'Raw', which is funky and brings the chill vibes to the playlist. Public Works just announced exciting news this week: he got signed to Hopeless Records and dropped his first single under the label called 'Coors'. A few covers were released, including Sleep Theory's Paramore cover of 'This Heart', and nothing,nowhere released a cover of Soulja Boy's 'Kiss Me Thru The Phone', for their Will It Emo Vol. 2 project. Fiddlehead released their highly anticipated EP Baby I'll Change, featuring the rad track 'The Dogs'. If there's one thing we know about Fiddlehead, it's that they NEVER miss.

Now onto our HEAVY HITTERS of the week:

Alongside the BMTH track, there were quite a few fresh faves that fall under this category this week, so brace yourselves for the pit and hit play. Savage Hands' latest drop, 'It's Me'. The band dives into addiction, accountability, and inner turmoil in this metalcore track.

156/Silence brings 'Proxy Idols' a nice mix of clean/harsh vocals, it's a perfect peek into what their new album will sound like, and so far it's all 10's across the board. Melrose Avenue teams up with The Funeral Portrait, dropping 'Cemetery Friend,' personally one of our faves of the singles. Vlado's vocals don't miss. WHEW, what a week for some fire additions to your playlist.
