MAY 29, 2026 –– Just in: all of your favorite new music releases in one place.
This week is bringing us bangers from new Escape The Fate to TOP8 Scene fave Kennedy Von Kat, we've got you covered with all the spins you need to check out this week. Tokio Hotel is back at it with their latest drop, 'Memory Lane'. The band never fits into anyone's box, and they have made their return, announcing their newest album, ‘Encore,’ set to release on October 16th. The song is about looking back on the things you may never have gotten to experience, as their fame came quickly; it left no room for “a normal life,” reminiscing about a simpler time when things weren't as complicated.
New Dark Divine brings a tuneful vibe with their new drop, 'Melodic Melody'. Static Dress also got the memo and fed us well with a new album, 'Injury Episode', and of course, we couldn't forget Jutes, who hit us with new single, 'Mannequin' bringing us all the mysterious, catchy alt-rock vibes we could ever need.
HEAVY HITTERS of the week:
With 'Return To None' by This Is Me Breathing and Boundaries 'Only endless', we have your back when it comes to all the metal you can listen to in one day challenge, which you can never have enough of, of course.
Two covers this week include Honey Revenge with Alanis Morissette Cover 'Head Over Feet,' along with Your Broken Hero and Story Of The Year covering the iconic song 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls.
This week is no exception; we've got some major drops on our radar.
