Innovative female-fronted symphonic/prog metal band The Wave and the Particle have just released the official video for “Electric Sheep,” the title track from their latest album. Watch the video and stream the album now!
With its mix of cinematic synth layers, symphonic textures, and heavy guitars, “Electric Sheep” captures The Wave and the Particle’s signature fusion of industrial rock, symphonic metal, and progressive rock. The song explores the pull of collective thinking in the digital age and the loss of individuality in the face of ideological conformity. The video tells this story through the journey of a painter in a black-and-white world who, drawn into a powerful movement, loses his sense of self and becomes one with the faceless crowd.
About The Wave and the Particle: Founded in 2015, The Wave and the Particle fuses symphonic metal, industrial, and progressive rock. Their music blends soaring vocals, layered synths, and intricate guitars. Electric Sheep showcases their signature genre-bending style and cyberpunk-inspired themes of technology, identity, and the future.

Evil Scarecrow triumphantly return with their 5th studio album “Silicon Tea“.
We live in turbulent times where what we need more than ever is a bit of light entertainment, but even Evil Scarecrow can’t fail to address some of the more serious issues of the moment, be it our inadvertent servitude to corporate overlords, or the likelihood of Armageddon being kickstarted by a failure to update software. However, they also bring your attention back to the more fundamental problems of daily life, like bad weather at festivals and the challenge of trying to figure out which of your bins is supposed to be put out this week.
Dr Hell comments: “We really wanted to write an album that brings together our varied tastes and love for heavy music. We have leaned into pop punk with “Green Bin Day”, rewound to the 80s with “The Future Machine”, and god only knows what genre “Welly in the Mud” is… Brown Metal? I dunno. Anyway, we hope there is something for everyone, or nothing for no-one, or everything for one very weird person. But it’s an album that we, as a band, are very proud of.”
As ever, Evil Scarecrow bring you an eclectic mix of influences with a huge dose of absurd humour, what more could you ask for?
The band also have their ‘Silicon Tea Party‘ at Saltbox in Nottingham on 5th October to celebrate the launch of the new album, featuring an album playback, live acoustic set, photo opportunities & cake!. Tickets are available exclusively from Kickstarter here.

Melbourne hard rock outfit Stonetrip are back with their brand-new single ‘Postcards’, out now via Golden Robot Records.
The band comments: “Postcards” is a heartfelt reflection on love and distance – a story rooted in a time before mobile phones and social media, when couples relied on handwritten postcards to bridge the gap. The song captures the raw emotion of long-distance relationships and the heartbreak of breakups carried out across miles. Without face-to-face connection or eye contact, all that’s left is brutal honesty from afar, the words that sometimes get lost along the way. The making of the song included the whole band. We all went into the studio as a band to create our parts. Ricki Rae (producer) who knows our signature sound is a great influence in how the song ends up sounding. The video was made with the help of two great actors up in the hills of Olinda, Melbourne, Australia. It was the first time we storyboard the video clip. We usually just wing it. It tells the song perfectly.”
Combining Stonetrip’s trademark power, soaring hooks, and emotional grit, ‘Postcards’ is both nostalgic and strikingly relevant. It showcases the band’s ability to fuse hard rock energy with vulnerability, making it one of their most poignant releases to date. With their reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting rock acts continuing to grow, Stonetrip are proving once again that their music resonates deeply with fans across generations.
Hailing from Melbourne, Stonetrip are a powerhouse rock outfit bringing raw energy, heartfelt storytelling, and stadium-worthy hooks to the modern hard rock scene. With a sound that fuses classic rock grit with a fresh, contemporary edge, the band have carved out a reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting rising acts. Formed out of a shared passion for timeless rock ’n’ roll, they hit the ground running with explosive live performances that quickly won them a loyal following. Their music blends driving riffs, soaring melodies, and anthemic choruses, echoing influences from the greats while forging their own unmistakable style.
Since their debut, Stonetrip have continued to build momentum with a string of dynamic singles and their critically acclaimed self-titled EP, released through Golden Robot Records. Tracks like ‘Runaway’, ‘Sideways’, and ‘Nightmare’ showcase the band’s ability to balance hard-hitting intensity with moments of vulnerability and soul. On stage, Stonetrip are relentless. Their shows deliver the kind of sweat-soaked, high-voltage rock experience that reminds audiences why live music matters. Whether playing intimate club gigs or supporting major touring acts, the band consistently leave a lasting impression.
With new music on the horizon and a growing international fanbase, Stonetrip are proving that Australian rock is alive, loud, and ready to take on the world.

With her new album “Green”, Swiss artist SERAINA TELLI unveils a bold musical evolution – personal, clear, and conceptually ambitious. The title is no coincidence: “Music appears in colors to me – andGreenis the first color in a larger project,” she explains. Thematically, the album revolves around responsibility – to others, the environment, and oneself.
Musically, “Green” explores new territory, featuring more electronic elements and a deliberate move away from traditional rock arrangements. Telli’s songwriting takes center stage, supported by producer Rico Horber. The result is a collection of diverse, emotionally rich tracks that blend pop, alternative Rock, and balladic depth combined with Telli’s crisp and distinctive sound.
Her lyrics span from social commentary (“Consequences”) to deeply personal reflections (“Gold”) and empowering anthems like “Let It All Out”, which call for self-expression and authenticity. Telli presents herself more vulnerably than ever – showing that true strength often lies in openness.
“Green” marks the beginning of a new creative chapter – a statement for more depth, consciousness, and sincerity in modern music.
