NMR - Brad Craig - Mean Time Review
Some really nice sounds from Brad on this track, an eerie intro soon morphs into a solid rhythm pattern, guitar licks float around filling the spaces between lyric lines.
The added instrumentation throughout the song gives it dynamics and colour.
The overall mix sounds great with plenty of width and pad synths to smooth things out, Brads vocal style sits really nicley in the track, good melodies, nice chord structure, very well self produced track.
Nice work Brad.

Aiden Faith - Crows ( Rock / Punk / Electro ) Review
NMR - You could be mistaken into thinking this is an electro synth track....but dont be fooled, this has a synth intro but soon builds into a harder edged rock track with the addition of overdriven guitar and big vocals, throw in a few guitar licks and its all there.
Nice track......
From the new EP - Louder Than Silence
Independent multi-instrumentalist Aiden Faith has unveiled his latest EP, Louder Than Silence—a project that pushes beyond the usual boundaries of Alternative Rock.
Written and produced entirely by Faith, the EP acts as a statement of intent for his “vintage-fresh” philosophy. It’s a sound that fuses the analog warmth of classic rock influences with the sharp, unpredictable textures of modern alt-rock, creating something that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Currently based in Rome but driven by a nomadic creative spirit, Faith delivers a record that balances nuance with raw power. At its core, Louder Than Silence is defined by two standout tracks: “LOUDER” and “Safety Net.”
“LOUDER” leans into high-energy, anthemic territory, while “Safety Net” offers a more intricate and atmospheric experience. Despite both sitting within the alt-rock space, they showcase a wide sonic palette—from gritty, powerful vocals to moments of delicate, emotionally driven songwriting. The result is a project that resists being boxed into a single sound.
Faith’s versatility doesn’t stop in the studio. As a live performer, he moves seamlessly between two distinct formats: the stripped-back intimacy of solo acoustic sets and the explosive energy of a full-band performance. This duality allows the songs on Louder Than Silence to evolve and resonate differently depending on the setting.
With Louder Than Silence, Aiden Faith continues to carve out a space that blends independence, authenticity, and sonic ambition—offering a compelling glimpse into the future of alternative rock.
Louder Than Silence is available now on all major streaming platforms.

From the new EP - Glass
From London Uk, 5 piece Post-punk outfit Radiator are back with their highly anticipated new single “Carnival,” released on April 17. The track marks the band’s first new material since their debut EP Glass made waves by landing in the Top 40 of the Official Vinyl Singles Chart last December.
Following the success of Glass—and a six-date tour in support of the record—“Carnival” signals the next step in the band’s rapid rise.
New Chapter ..
“Carnival” arrives as Radiator’s first release of 2025, building on the momentum of their breakthrough debut. To celebrate, the band has lined up a series of notable media appearances, including a live studio performance on BBC Introducing Essex & Cambridgeshire on April 16. This follows an earlier interview on BBC Radio London’s Breakfast Show on April 3.
Influences
Driven by a tight groove and indie sensibility, “Carnival” blends post-punk energy with alternative rock textures. The band cites influences ranging from 80s icons like The Fall and Echo & the Bunnymen to more contemporary and crossover acts including Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, and Fontaines D.C.
Frontman Ollie Blakesley shared insight into the track’s origins:
“Carnival was one of those lyrics that came to me after I'd been walking round a few different parts of England. I realised there were all these things that crop up everywhere you go.”

Softreboot is the conceptual solo project of Sergei Orlov—an artist operating at the intersection of human emotion and modern technology. Rooted in themes of degradation, the project explores fading memories, lost signals, and the growing emotional distance between people in a hyper-connected world.
While the lyrics, overarching concepts, and artistic direction remain deeply personal and human-driven, softreboot incorporates AI as a forward-thinking production tool. This fusion results in expansive, atmospheric soundscapes that feel both intimate and futuristic.
Sonically, softreboot blends the melancholic edge of early 2000s alt-rock with modern electronic textures—making it a compelling listen for fans of Radiohead, Placebo, and The xx.
“Parallax Dream” and the Dust Protocol Universe
The debut single, “Parallax Dream,” marks the first chapter in a wider conceptual universe titled Dust Protocol—a musical logbook documenting a system slowly losing its data.
At its core, the track uses the metaphor of the parallax effect to capture a haunting emotional disconnect: two people occupying the same physical space, yet existing in entirely different emotional realities.
The official music video for “Parallax Dream” is now available on YouTube, offering a visual entry point into this evolving narrative world.
What’s Next?
softreboot is already operating with a fully completed debut album, signaling a clear and ambitious artistic vision.
The next chapter in the Dust Protocol universe is set to arrive soon, with a new single officially scheduled for release on April 24, 2026.
