Here at Out of Rage we've been really enjoying the change in seasons - longer days, sunlight that's no longer just fleeting glimpses, and of course, the warmer weather. What better way to enjoy it than by cracking open a cold drink, putting your feet back, and blasting some new tunes? Here's what we've been listening to lately:
Catch Your Breath - Blood Money
Back with another banger, Texan melodic metal/hard rock band CATCH YOUR BREATH, gives fans their newest single Blood Money to sink their teeth into as they gear up to take on the Australian leg of their tour. Coming in hot with a powerhouse drumbeat from the off that rips heavier as the track progresses, accompanied by biting guitar riffs and vocals that range from a soft rawness to intense growls, Blood Money commands attention from start to finish. Creating a fresh sound that packs a punch whilst keeping the familiarity of echoey distortion and gritty synths, all backed by the deep emotional undertones and catchy chorus that CATCH YOUR BREATH has mastered, this track is sure to be on many ‘top repeated’ playlists!

Foo Fighters – Caught in the Echo
FOO FIGHTERS are so back, with a sound that feels inspired by their Wasting Light and In Your Honour eras. Caught in the Echo is the latest red-hot track from their upcoming album Your Favorite Toy, releasing 24th April through RCA Records, featuring the distinct FOO FIGHTERS sound that have blessed our ears for decades. From Dave Grohl’s raspy yells dropping to silk-smooth tones, to the seamless instrumentals that weave around each other and build to a cacophony, Caught in the Echo is yet another release from this band of Titans, that grabs you and bodily throws you into the pit during the breakdown of sizzling guitar and drum solos while Grohl repeatedly screams “Do I?”. Hell yeah he does!

Good Kid – Cicada
Jumping straight in with a tune catchier than the flu, GOOD KID have released another classic indie track, Cicada, designed to get you jumping. Featured on their upcoming
release Can We Hang Out Some Time? through Good People Record Co., Cicada steps straight in with Michael Kozakov’s melting bass line that keeps a grip on you all through the song, swiftly followed by guitarists David Wood and Jacob Tsafatinos playing an upbeat sound in harmonised tandem, and John Kereliuk’s snappy, fast-paced drumming. Vocalist Nick Frosst completes GOOD KID, with surging notes and a subtle doubt on “I could be, I suppose, someone you should get to know”, perfectly delivering the awkward nonchalance and hope of catching someone’s interest.

Love Rarely - Severed
LOVE RARELY are the ones to watch this year, roaming around the country far beyond their northern hometown. Severed gives us a perfect taste of their fantastic blend between math rock and hardcore. The song touches on a father-daughter relationship, tying in with the marionette and porcelain doll visuals from the music video. The piercing vocals and screams intertwine beautifully with the soft instrumentals, LOVE RARELY’s talent bleeding out from every crease. The band have just jumped off a tour with THE CALLOUS DAOBOYS, right ahead of their first album release and festival appearances at Burn It Down, 2000 Trees and others.

The Meffs – Business
THE MEFFS are all party in the front and back, with their scorching new track Business, calling out the moving goal posts of society and the industry, how they “don’t fit their mould enough” in a dog-eat-dog world, and how they don’t give a fuck about ticking boxes. Crashing into your eardrums ahead of their second album, Business, released 11th September through LFG, the title track launches into an immediate crescendo of cymbals and britpunk beats by drummer and backing vocalist Lewis Copsey, weaving in with distorted riffs to rip into you from guitarist and lead vocalist Lily Hopkins, creating a dangerous sound that feels like THE MEFFS are saying “come and have a fucking go”.

Olive Vox – 14 Years
Featuring fiercely produced instrumentals and raw vocals, OLIVE VOX have created a track that captures the frustration and yearning of “taking the long way” working up to something for no payoff. New single 14 Years features vocalist Parker James baring his soul, altering between soft pleas of “give up” and gravelly shouts on the chorus. Balancing out these vulnerable lyrics is Caden Shea, with riffs climbing to sudden bursts of lasting notes; Dayton Phillips keeping a steady, almost understated drum beat until unleashing on the bridge; and Ben Reid twanging a deep bass rhythm that adds emotional weight to the quiet moments. OLIVE VOX have given us a song that is heartfelt and heart-pulsing all at once.

Sleeping With Sirens - An Ending In Itself
SLEEPING WITH SIRENS’ new track An Ending In Itself is a charged return. It marks their return to Rise Records and their first release since the Complete Collapse era. This track blends sharp nostalgic riffs with a polished modern edge, embracing post-hardcore roots while maintaining their arena-ready sheen. Kellin Quinn’s soaring emotionally strained hooks cut through layered guitars. The breakdown is heavy but slightly formulaic, yet lines like “we’re not the same” hit with conviction. Named with quiet finality, An Ending In Itself feels less like closure and more like a rebirth, setting the tone for a potentially pivotal new chapter.

Violet Grohl – 595
Alternating between a dreamlike sound and gnashing 90’s grunge, VIOLET GROHL brings a style that’s nostalgic and heated with 595, featured on her upcoming album Be Sweet To Me, releasing on 29th May via Aurora Records. Recorded with a variety of musicians, a method inspired by the “spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s”, 595 encapsulates the vintage and seedy feel of the 90’s that’s inspired the entirety of Sweet to Me. Hushed riffs accompany Violet Grohl’s husky vocals and evocative lyrics, broken up by jarring bass and kick drums, before coming together in a commotion of rugged instrumentals. Prepare to feel transported back to ’95.
