Shallow Honey – “Ordinary Men”
“Ordinary Men” is a fierce, unflinching protest song that exposes the everyday violence, entitlement, and hypocrisy women often face at the hands of men who see themselves as harmless.
Through sharp, confrontational lyrics, the track reclaims bodily autonomy and turns the shame of abuse back onto the perpetrators. It blends raw vulnerability with defiant power, challenging the systems that protect abusers while stripping women of their rights. At its core, the song insists that the real problem lies not with the victims, but with the “ordinary men” who cause the harm.
About Shallow Honey
Shallow Honey are an alt-rock four-piece from Brighton, formed in early 2020 by guitarist Ben Siviter, bassist Carl Toppin, and vocalist Rai Conway, with drummer Seb Philp joining the lineup in late 2024.
The band’s sound is a dynamic fusion of rock and pop, unapologetically tackling feminist themes while balancing both loud and quiet moments. Their music moves between melt-your-face guitar riffs, fuzzy driven basslines, and powerful, groove-heavy rhythms.
Highlights and Releases
Shallow Honey have already built an impressive list of live achievements, including supporting The Subways at a sold-out show in Northampton. They have also appeared at festivals such as CorCroLand and LOUD WOMEN Fest London, and joined Melita Dennett for a BBC Sussex Live Lounge session.
In 2024, the band released their debut EP Lost Bodies, followed in 2025 by the single “WHAT YOU MADE ME DO,” produced by Steven Ansell of Blood Red Shoes.

We are MT EVE, a psychedelic rock band born and shaped in London.
Coming from different cultures and different stories, this city pulled us together and turned us into family. In that shared space, we discovered a deep—almost obsessive—love for psychedelic music.
What began as pure freedom—locking ourselves in the studio, chasing sounds, and losing track of time—slowly transformed into something undeniable.
Our dream is simple and honest: to reach people. If even a handful of listeners can lose themselves in our music and feel our souls collide with theirs, then every moment we poured into this journey truly meant something.
MT EVE’s sound blends swirling psychedelic textures with the raw energy of modern rock. Their music captures the spirit of late-night studio experimentation while maintaining an emotional core that invites listeners to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere they create.

Inimata: New EP Tri-State Scumbag - Electro Punk Experimental
About the EP
Tri-State Scumbag is the newest release from Inimata and marks their most substantial project since the debut album Dog Trauma. The EP represents a tonal shift from the previous record, refining Inimata’s eclectic sonic palette and sardonic aggression into something that feels both polished and deliberately chaotic.
Guided by the narration of Benjamin Prendagast, Tri-State Scumbag takes listeners through seven high-energy tracks that rarely let the momentum slow down.
The EP kicks off with “Rework,” driven by chugging basslines and bright guitar riffs. The track shifts seamlessly between gritty grunge textures and a wide, melodic chorus. From there, the project moves into more classic Inimata territory with the off-kilter energy of “Pop Off” and the synth-laden grooves of “Cult Classic.”
The record leans further into electronic and hip-hop influences, building to the explosive “Cut That!” — one of the EP’s most energetic moments.
After that peak, the project cools slightly with “Big Rig Energy,” a grimy yet captivating groove featuring the EP’s only guest appearance from Sydney artist Freddy.
The closing tracks bring the project home in style: “Talk Tough” delivers another burst of intensity, while “Best Behaviour” wraps things up with a blend of compassion and humor.
Together, the seven tracks form a tightly packed ride through Inimata’s genre-blurring sound world.
About Inimata
Inimata was born in London before moving to Australia, eventually spending much of his formative years growing up in Newcastle.
Emerging in a local scene largely dominated by indie and surf rock bands, Inimata quickly positioned himself as one of the most distinctive artists in the area. Developing his craft as a producer, songwriter, and performer, he steadily built a reputation through energetic live shows and genre-bending releases.
Over the years, he has shared stages with a range of acts including Doris, Behind You, Feelsclub, AFK, and Veles the Menace.
Refusing to be boxed into a single genre, Inimata blends humor, intensity, and ambition into a sound that is both explosive and unpredictable. That creative freedom is exactly what makes Tri-state Scumbag such an engaging listen.

Lana Crow - New Single “Unknow The Known”
Rising pop-rock powerhouse Lana Crow is set to shake up the airwaves with her latest single “Unknow The Known.”The fast-paced anthem trades comfort for clarity, delivering a sharp commentary on modern society’s growing divisions.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Tristan Boston, the track arrives at a time when public discourse often feels louder than ever. Rather than adding to the noise, Crow’s new release challenges listeners to question what they believe—and why.
For Crow, the inspiration behind “Unknow The Known” came from a deeply personal realization.
For years, she struggled with self-doubt, viewing her tendency to question herself as a flaw. Over time, however, she began to see it as something far more powerful.
“I grew up despising my lack of self-confidence and conviction, always second-guessing myself,” says Lana Crow.
“I used to see it as a weakness. But today, I watch a world full of people who are overly confident in their own beliefs.”
As debates and opinions grow more polarized, Crow believes uncertainty can actually create space for deeper understanding.
“When I look at people like myself—those who were never overly sure of their own ideas—I realize that, in many ways, we have more clarity about what's happening. It is not a bad idea to question yourself and the information you receive.”
Thought-Provoking Lyrics
Musically, “Unknow The Known” is a high-energy blend of pop-rock attitude and indie-pop polish. Gritty guitar riffs drive the track forward, while soaring melodies give the song a powerful emotional lift.
Lyrically, Crow encourages listeners to challenge assumptions and rethink accepted narratives.
Rather than encouraging louder arguments, the song promotes a quieter but more powerful response: observation, reflection, and curiosity.
Crow suggests that if people paused to ask why they prefer certain information before rushing to judge, the world might become a more understanding place.
