Even voorstellen – Deaf Havana – We’re never getting out of here
Het aankomende album van alternatieve rockband Deaf Havana, We're Never Getting Out Of Here.
De komst van deze plaat markeert een nieuwe fase voor de band: het viertal werd een duo en frontman James Veck-Gilodi heeft op dit nieuwe werk compromisloos geschreven vanuit hemzelf. Na jaren van uitersten, prestatiedruk en instortingen is dit album een bevrijding; hun meest persoonlijke, rauwe en eerlijke werk tot nu toe.
Het album vangt een belangrijke persoonlijke transformatie voor Veck-Gilodi; eentje die veel heeft opgeleverd, maar niet zonder hoge kosten. De tracks op We're Never Getting Out zijn, ondanks hun sprankelende karakter, diep verdrietig en eerlijk. Elke angst, elke terugslag, elke confrontatie met het besef dat het leven waarvan je dacht dat je het had opgebouwd langzaam om je heen afbrokkelt, wordt eerlijk en rauw weergegeven

V2 records news - SLASH Announces Live Album and Concert Film, "Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T festival"
OUT 7 NOVEMBER
LISTEN HERE TO SINGLE
"OH WELL"
Slash - Oh Well (Official Live Video) | From the album 'Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T Festival'
With Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival, Slash brings his love of the blues, his musical roots, to the fore. A full-throttle live album and concert film capturing his electrifying July 17, 2024 performance at the Mission Ballroom, Colorado. Touring as part of the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival, Slash and the formidable ensemble known as Slash's Blues Ball deliver a gritty, soulful set paying homage to the legends who shaped rock and blues.
The band features Slash on lead and rhythm guitar, joined by longtime collaborator Teddy "ZigZag" Andreadis(keyboards, harmonica, vocals), Tash Neal (rhythm guitar, vocals), Johnny Griparic (bass, backing vocals), and Michael Jerome (drums).
Together, they tear through a blistering set of blues standards and rock staples, paying tribute to icons like Bukka White, Howlin' Wolf, Booker T. & the MG's, Fleetwood Mac, Freddie King, The Temptations, T-Bone Walker, Hoyt Axton, Robert Johnson, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Bob Dylan, and Elmore James.
The set includes smouldering takes on Parchman Farm Blues, Killing Floor, Born Under a Bad Sign, Oh Well, Big Legged Woman, and Key to the Highway, followed by the slow-burn groove of Papa Was a Rolling Stone, the smoky soul of Stormy Monday, and the gritty punch of The Pusher. Slash also debuts a brand-new original, Metal Chestnut, before diving into Cross Road Blues and a fiery rendition of Stone Free. The encore features It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry and a blistering closer with Shake Your Money Maker.
Intercut with candid, behind-the-scenes interviews, Slash reflects on his deep personal connection to the blues, sharing stories behind the songs and his reverence for the artists who paved the way. Slash's Blues Ball delivers the blues like it's meant to be - loud, live, and dangerous.
Live at the S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Festival will become available in retail stores and online as 2CD+DVD Digipak, 2CD+Blu-ray Digipak and Heavyweight Black 3LP Gatefold. Further exclusive formats will be available in the official album store.

Even voorstellen – Swim Swim Naked, Playful electronic-pop duo, shares visually striking music video, ’cool’
Swim Swim Naked are a Budapest-based electronic-pop duo from Hungary, founded in 2024 by singer Krisztina Nagy and producer Dani Makkay, who take the stage in bold jumpsuits and surround themselves with a tangle of colorful cables. Their project blends melodic pop elements with electronic music, featuring experimental rhythms and a unique mix of unusual sounds, such as splashing water.
Their debut EP, Octopus (February 2024), invites listeners on a shared “swim,” from the first splash to a deep dive. Their message focuses on supporting freedom, creativity, and an open-minded way of thinking. Their latest EP, Sepiida, will be released in 2025 and holds many surprises.
Musically, Cool dives into a funkier sound than previous releases – blending catchy melodies, vocal harmonies, and a fresh twist from an unexpected new instrument: the kazoo. But beneath the groove, there’s a deeper message: “Cool is about staying true to yourself, choosing kindness, and remaining good in a world that often feels upside down. Growing up comes with challenges – we start to see that things aren’t as simple as they seemed in childhood. But even as people, places, and life itself change, this song reminds us to embrace who we are, to value creativity, respect differences, and believe that being kind is still the coolest thing of all.” - said tha band.
The visual world of the video is dreamy and stylized, seen through a childlike lens with soft pastels and playful details. Everyday objects and small pleasures take center stage, in locations like the pool, locker room, showers, sauna, and reception. Characters include a receptionist, a cleaner, a lifeguard, kids, and even a man singing in the shower. Interestingly, there’s only one professional actor in the entire video – ifj. Vidnyánszky Attila, who plays the lead role. Everyone else featured in the video are close friends and family of the band — including Dani’s grandmother!
The duo has also made their presence known internationally, performing at DIY parties in Stockholm and Copenhagen, where they brought their vibrant and experimental sound to new audiences in grassroots, underground settings. The band has played at the international Sofar Sounds project in Debrecen, and has supported popular bands such as Kadebostany from Switzerland and Cari Cari from Austria.

V2 records news – Danny Vera shares new single ‘all behind’
DANNY VERA Shares New Single "All Behind" And Announces New Album "The Way Home"
OUT 7 NOVEMBER
All Behind
25 November Live @ De Roma, Antwerpen (sold out)
On November 7, Danny Vera will release The Way Home – an album destined to become a collection of future Vera classics. Blending pop and Americana, Vera has carved out a unique place in today's musical landscape. His songs reflect on memories of a bygone past, the confused state of our planet, his frustration with the negativity that dominates society, and the fleeting nature of our time on earth. The single All Behind, which is out now via Excelsior Records, is a perfect first taste of the upcoming record.
During the recording process, he came to a striking conclusion: today's reality fuels a longing for a carefree past – though one might wonder if it was ever truly carefree. The Way Home represents that place where everything was, and still is, just right. Six years after Roller Coaster, Danny Vera is still going strong.
No longer just "that funny guy from Zeeland in a sharp suit with the pompadour, playing rock 'n' roll songs." Not just a one-hit wonder who topped the Top 2000. Not just the artist who, after 25 years of persistence, finally broke through thanks to countless late-night talk show appearances. Danny Vera is all of that – and much more. He has become a respected singer-songwriter, releasing music entirely on his own terms, in his own way.
Danny Vera will be on tour in November 2025 and in the spring of 2026 in The Netherlands and Belgium, with a sold out show in De Roma, Antwerp on November 25.
Wellington records news – Vincent Coomans lost single ‘a bed can be many things’, nieuw album ‘dark dog’
A Bed Can Be Many Things
A BED CAN BE MANY THINGS
Nu verschijnt A Bed Can Be Many Things, de eerste single van Vincent Coomans’ nieuwe album Dark Dog (uit in januari ’26 bij Wellington Records).
Het nummer ontstond in een turbulente periode: terwijl Vincent voor het eerst vader werd, verloor zijn eigen vader gaandeweg taal, herinneringen en bewegingsvrijheid. In het ouderlijk huis verscheen plots een bed in het midden van de woonkamer – een vreemd maar bepalend object dat tegelijk verschillende functies vervult.
Die spanning tussen verlies en nieuw leven schemert door in A Bed Can Be Many Things. Het opent lichtvoetig met een banjo, terwijl een trompet in de bridge een onverwachte, bijna misplaatste uitbundigheid toevoegt. Het album werd - anders dan The Great Rebuild - niet laag per laag opgebouwd, maar live ingespeeld. Vincent bracht de nieuwe songs mee naar de thuisstudio van Jonas Bruyneel, waar de band ze voor het eerst samen beluisterde. Zonder veel voorbereiding doken de muzikanten erin: intuïtief voegde iedereen iets toe aan de muziek. Die directheid en vrijheid hoor je doorheen het hele album en ook in dit lied – muziek die ademt, die beweegt en waarin elke muzikant hoorbaar aanwezig is.

Pias news – Keaton Henson announces new album ‘Parader’
KEATON HENSON ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
"PARADER" OUT ON NOVEMBER 21, 2025 VIA PLAY IT AGAIN SAM
Enigmatic polymath Keaton Henson has shared details of his highly anticipated new album Parader. Out 21st November via Play It Again Sam, the announcement comes alongside the release of a sardonic new single titled Insomnia.
Parader marks Henson's ninth studio album and his first since 2024's Somnambulant Cycles. It also follows his recent return single Lazy Magician (co-written by Ratboys' Julia Steiner), which was released in July, earning support from the likes of Rolling Stone UK, Crack, The Line Of Best Fit, The New Cue, Stereogum, Under The Radar, and GoldFlakePaint, who said it' hinted "at a bold new chapter on the horizon; a restless and romantic re-defining."
Whereas that last single nodded to Henson beginning to shed the "quiet boy" persona that has defined much of his career – if we're to omit his myriad efforts composing for film and theatre, an electronic side project, his classical offerings, his illustration and writing work – the new album sees him fully embracing the grunge-infused sounds of his youth. Across the record, the elusive songwriter melds emotional darkness, melancholy, and simmering frustration as he reckons with the hauntings of his past. Lacing fuzzy distortion and surging guitars amongst the confessional vulnerability that has long been a hallmark of his offerings, Henson explains, "I was always somewhat nervous about being too loud, but I sat down to write this record and it just came out."
New single Insomnia expands further on this new direction, entwining aching self-observation with a defiance Keaton terms "musical snark". Rife with an American heft in its fuzz-laden instrumentation, echoes of his past are creeping into frame. As he sings, "the haunted 7-Eleven's open all night," Henson's timeline is fragmenting, pulling him back more than a decade to the year he lived in California.
Keaton Henson - Insomnia (Official Video)
"I'm singing about the fact that I can't sleep from my bedroom in wild rural Sussex, looking out over the fields, but then it's like there's suddenly a 7-Eleven in the middle of the field, old memories invading my present" he explains, recalling insomnia-induced night walks around Los Angeles. The single is accompanied by a stunning animated stop motion video made by Henson himself which reflects the dreaminess and surrealism that comes with those long nights.
Those acquainted with Henson's work will surely be familiar with his well-worn reputation as a softly spoken, introverted figure who rarely performs live – in a 15-year career he's performed less than 40 times. Since emerging with his debut record Dear... in 2010, Henson has garnered critical acclaim for his mastery at weaving heart-on-sleeve vulnerability into emotionally poignant, folk-tinged outpourings. No stranger to anxiety's heavy weight, he's earned a devoted fan base from a self-imposed distance – shying from the spotlight to offer up the finite part of himself he's willing to give away. "Sadness I suppose" he once confessed, "is a feeling of which I have an excess of."
What unravels across Parader's 12 tracks is an introspective autopsy of time as it distorts and folds to alter and inhabit the songwriter's present. "There are these disjointed snapshots," he explains, "memories across time popping up amongst this collection of thoughts about what it feels like to be this age and a musician."
These glimpses of Henson's past, whether channelled in his lyrics or musically exposed in sneering riffs, might start to defy preconceptions of our reclusive balladeer. In a nod to his tender tone, Henson's oft-met comparison to Elliott Smith, while The Independent once dubbed him the "British Jeff Buckley", but, like the aforementioned pair, his early beginnings also took root in far heavier sounds. "Prior to being a mostly quiet musician I played in hardcore and emo bands," he shares. It's these snapshots of time that run amok on Parader, nostalgic distortions splintering the timeline's once-linear path.
To piece Parader together, Henson collaborated with a wealth of talent who could harness these influences and bring them into the light. Production duties were split between Luke Sital-Singh, who Henson soon discovered "grew up in a similar area at a similar time, so our reference points were the same," and Alex Farrar (Wednesday/Snail Mail): "the king of that loud, snarky American DIY sound." The intimately tender "Furl" also found a first-time co-writer in his wife, artist and musician Danielle Fricke, while Henson worked with Ratboys' Julia Steiner on the earlier mentioned "Lazy Magician" A downtrodden duet that unfolds like a haunting daydream before winding guitars soar, Henson explains: "Julia's voice is so evocative of that sound to me, it reminds me of when I first heard Rilo Kiley. She has a lot of the suburban magic-realism of the American bands I loved back then."

Sdban records news - Glass Museum maps the rhythms of city life on new album 4N4LOG CITY
Release: 19 September 2025
After two albums inspired by vast northern landscapes, the forces of nature, and an ever-present sense of duality, Glass Museum shifts gears. The Brussels-based group—originally formed in 2016 by pianist Antoine Flipo and drummer Martin Grégoire—welcomes bassist Issam Labbene as an official third member, opening up a richer, more immersive sound and setting its sights on the rhythms of the modern city.
A true turning point in Glass Museum's career, the new album 4N4LOG CITY twists the codes of electronic music, explores the depths of jazz, and asserts its eclecticism through a fresh and infectious groove.
Signed to the forward-thinking Belgian label Sdban Records, the group shapes its identity within the vaulted ceilings of Volta, a creative hub in Brussels frequented by the vanguard of Belgium's "new scene." Sharing space with acts like ECHT!, Lander & Adriaan, and Tukan, the band continues to push its boundaries through collaboration and reinvention.
Recorded between the French countryside of Drôme, the industrial edges of Brussels, and Volta, 4N4LOG CITY features striking guest appearances. Swiss drummer Arthur Hnatek—known for his work with Tigran Hamasyan and Erik Truffaz, and praised by Gilles Peterson and Laurent Garnier—drives the opener "GATE 1" into hypnotic, krautrock-inspired territory. Meanwhile, rising vocalist JDS lends soulful grace to "Call Me Names", evoking the emotive textures and elegance of vintage soul-jazz reminiscent of the likes of Jordan Rakei or Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes.
Without abandoning their melodic roots and foundational approach, the trio takes daring steps into new terrain. The experimental centerpiece "III" explores the piano as a textural and rhythmic force, drifting between ambient and breakbeat. Elsewhere, the gritty "VAN GLAS"—a hip-hop-tinged track featuring rapper JAZZ BRAK of STIKSTOF—the band ventures far beyond their comfort zone, injecting streetwise lyricism in their mix of electronics and jazz.
Fueled by the heartbeat of the city, 4N4LOG CITY captures the mechanical ebb and flow beneath concrete towers—the anonymous rhythms of daily life moving over the asphalt, and the fleeting, meaningful connections made along the way. Produced by Antoine Flipo and mixed by Elsa Grelot (Avalanche Kaito), the album stands at the intersection of human emotion and urban architecture—a post-modern, deeply cinematic work that asserts Glass Museum's place at the cutting edge of European music.
'4N4LOG CITY' by Glass Museum is out today via Sdban Ultra, available on all streaming platforms, vinyl and CD.

Even voorstellen – Ash – Ad Astra
Het aankomende album van Noord-Ierse alternative rock band Ash verschijnt op 3 oktober. Het is hun negende studioalbum, Ad Astra.
Ash is al meer dan 30 jaar actief, ze braken wereldwijd door met hun album 1977, waarmee ze een nummer 1-positie op de Britse album-hitlijsten haalden. Hun sound wordt geassocieerd met Britpop, pop-punk en alternative rock. Met Ad Astra maken ze een drieluik compleet en volgen ze de platen Free All Angels (2022) en Race The Night (2023) op. Met deze albums laten ze de uitersten van hun sound horen. Ad Astra is daar een reactie op, waar de band over toelicht:
It was decided we needed something else. Something to bridge the gap between two contrasting modes of the band, a second act in the trilogy. And that kinda revealed itself to usbit by bit over the course of the album. Getting the title right before the record was complete (a first in 33 years!) brought out the theme of the album and turned what felt like an eclectic bunchof songs into something with maybe more of a narrative than we've ever had.

EEFJE DE VISSER BRENGT SINGLE 'NORMAAL TOEN' UIT EN KONDIGT VLIJMSCHERP-TOUR AAN
Eefje de Visser heeft haar nieuwe single ‘Normaal Toen’ uitgebracht. Normaal Toen is de derde single van Eefjes zesde album 'Vlijmscherp', dat uitkomt op 10 oktober. Eerder deze week kondigde de zangeres aan dat ze in het voorjaar op tour gaat door Nederland, België en Duitsland.
Over haar nieuwe single zegt Eefje: “In ‘Normaal Toen’ blik ik terug op jaren vol innerlijke onrust en onzekerheid. De song gaat over jong zijn en de weg kwijt, en over iemand vinden in al die onrust en gekte. Toch klinkt ‘Normaal Toen’ ook vrolijk, vurig en licht. Het doet me denken aan alle goede herinneringen uit diezelfde tijd, aan alle mensen met wie ik toen omging en in veel gevallen nog steeds omga. Een ode aan jong zijn, in de knoop zitten, en aan vriendschap.”
Eerder deze week kondigde Eefje aan dat ze in het najaar met 'Vlijmscherp' op internationale tour gaat. In februari en maart 2026 speelt ze negen shows in Nederland, België en Duitsland.
