boy (EP) / Luke Hemmings
5 Seconds of Summer's Luke Hemmings' second solo project is out today, produced with longtime collaborator and songwriting partner Sammy Witte. "The majority of the songs for 'boy' were written at a time in my life when I was a stranger to stillness. The songs were born on planes and hotel room notepads, muttering under my breath while walking through new cities each day," Luke shares. Watch the official visualisers for the EP here.
OMG / SOPHIE SHREDZ
Drawing influence from the experimental electronic world of hyper-pop, SOPHIE SHREDZ also imbues her songs with a tapestry of classic rock influences, like show-stopping guitar solos and driving percussive elements. OMG delivers soaring prog-rock guitar riffs and emphatic drums – a song packed with pure, unbridled punk-rock energy.

Just Like Me!! / Lille Venn

How Long / Rec Hall
