PET NEEDS
Rising Colchester punk act PET NEEDS delivers high-energy indie-punk anthem “Ducklings,” reflecting and critiquing the society’s relationship with capitalism.

Cannons
Alternative/electro-pop band Cannons unveils disco-tinged pop anthem “These Nights,” reflecting on the late night fears of you’re not who you used to be.
Rooted in booming basslines, orchestral strings, sharp guitars and layered percussions, the track delivers shimmering sonics juxtaposed against the relatable pressure to consistently perform. The track’s mellow yet immersive soundscape is backdropped to perfection by the glimmering, star-filled visuals which seamlessly captures the track’s luminous energy.
Thoughtful, intimate and resonant in equal parts, the track serves as a peek into their forthcoming album Everything Glows.
