Delaire The Liar, Bad Rabbits, Void Of Vision and More: New Noizze – The 13 Must-Listen Tracks of the Week

From Satanic doo-wop to R&Beatdown, here are the best singles of the week.

Delaire The Liar – angel number.

London alt-rock trio Deliare The Liar have at last unveiled the follow-up to 2021’s excellent Eat Your Own along with latest single angel number. that sees the band taking a rather different tack than before. While they’ve always done gut-wrenching emotion well, with angel number. bassist Em Lodge takes centre stage for vocals too, for a haunting, soaring performance. Its refrain of “you get what you give / and you won’t give an inch / nobody’s gonna hurt you / if nobody can get in” tells the song’s story of hurt and heartbreak in arresting fashion, with a post rock-esque swell at its midpoint. Along with previous single bite trap. it’s abundantly clear that Delaire The Liar are back in a big way, with new EP Self Defence sure to continue their run of stellar emotionally fraught, anthemic alt rock. – Will Marshall

Host Body – Mouth

Host Body is left leg ILENKUS, right leg The St. Pierre Snake Invasion, left arm Ogives Big Band, right arm Lightning Sharks and torso of BOKOTONO, but together they combine for one chaotic heavy mathcore mind fuck. When you bring together various parts of the some of the most respected bands in the UK underground, you will surely be rewarded and the quintet bring this in spades with their debut single ‘Mouth’. A barrage of noise as Conor Geraghty’s drums are relentless and the duo of Josh Guyett and Steve Roberts’ vocals are terrifyingly brutal. Even as the pace slows in parts the guitars lean in with a threatening tone. The song parts in almost three acts, each as hefty as the next with added abrasive synths at points to keep the listener on their toes. This could very well be an exciting prospect live so if you’re at ArcTanGent in two weeks you may want to swing by the Elephant Bar stage to witness their debut performance. – Adam Vallely

SUDS – Paint My Body

To be put frankly, Suds are having one of hell of a year. Kicking off 2023 by signing to the arbiters of the scene Big Scary Monsters and releasing their fantastic EP In The Undergrowth, the indie/emo quartet have spent the summer thus far smashing pretty much every festival under the UK sun, conquering events such as 2000 Trees, Truck and The Great Escape with effortless ease. Now, SUDS are set to ring out the year with the release of their debut LP The Great Overgrowth. ‘Paint My Body’, the first cut to be the taken from the record – which is released November 3rd – demonstrates why SUDS have become the topic of such devotion in the past eight months, with its summer-blessed disposition contrasting beautifully with its inherent sense of subtle and autumnal melancholy. Truly, with its fuzzed out leads and blissfully pacifying textures, ‘Paint My Body’ is a wonderful proof of concept for what is surely to be destined as a late stage album of the year contender courtesy from band utterly devoted to emotive and human storytelling in its most haplessly lovable form. – Dan Hillier

Bad Rabbits – Goin’ Up

There’s no denying that the past five years have been grim and cold. Thankfully for all, R&Beatdown mavericks Bad Rabbits are back with ‘Goin’ Up’, a single that can only be described as a shot of pure sun-kissed serotonin. The group’s first single in years, ‘Goin’ Up’ is not only the first track to be taken from the band’s yet to announced new record, its also a testament to the optimism, friendship and love that has been inherently vital to their success as a trio. The video for Goin’ Up makes such a fact visually palpable. Filmed in Ghana – the family motherland of vocalist Fredua Boakye – the video bear witness to Bad Rabbits‘ story as underdog legends. “Making this song (and our forthcoming album) was fueled by the freedom of shedding burdens, the courage to embrace change, and the wisdom earned from learning through adversity”, state the band. “I think Bad Rabbits is a testament to resilience, and in the light of this rebirth, we have found the power to create a future that surpasses the limits of our past.” – Dan Hillier

Twin Temple – Burn Your Bible

Halloween has come early with a new single from satanic doo-wop act Twin Temple. The husband and wife duo, formed of guitarist Zachary James and singer Alexandra James, combine early R&B, rockabilly and blues with Satanic lyrics and imagery to prove that metal isn’t the only genre that can hail Satan. New single Burn Your Bible shows how committed Twin Temple are to their premise with scratchy lo-fi recording and backing vocals reminiscent of The Temptations alongside raunchy, anti-Christian lyrics with lines like “I only scream for God when you’re in my bed”. Twin Temple could easily have become a gimmicky joke based on their concept alone but, through genuine devotion to their cause, spectacular vocals and passionate musicianship, they’ve proven that Satan doesn’t have to be brutal. – Tom Bruce

Parachute For Gordo – Lizard B-Movie

Aldershot and Berlin based math/post-rock trio Parachute For Gordo have certainly carved out a niche for themselves, with intricate yet endlessly listenable and tongue in cheek instrumental songs with cute pun names based around animals it’s no wonder their music has found a cult following. New single Lizard B-Movie transports the listener to a swirling void led by guitarist/keyboardist Dr. Laura Lee’s reverb drenched, ethereal textures. Fans of bands like Covet or Chon will appreciate the symbiotic harmonies between the lead guitar lines and the tight, restrained basslines by bassist John Harvey, backed by impressively technical yet tasteful drumming by Mark Glaister. Lizard B-Movie represents a new chapter for Parachute For Gordo and it’s one we’re hotly anticipating hearing more of. – Tom Bruce

Spanish Love Songs – Marvel

Spanish Love Songs aren’t a band known for happy, but with their new album No Joy they’re striving to find joy in whatever moments life might throw at them. That’s exemplified with final single Marvel, that is described by the guitarist/vocalist Dylan Slocum as “probably the most positive song I’ve ever written, and a response to every complaint I’ve ever lodged in other songs.” Sonically, it’s very much in line with what we’ve heard of No Joy so far; fluttering synths, delicate lead lines and a hefty dose of new wave influence all back Slocum’s idiosyncratic, fragile vocals to create a song of contradictions where the upbeat tempo makes the devastating lyricism all the more impactful. You’ll need tissues for this one. – Will Marshall

Void Of Vision – Angel of Darkness

Do you feel that? That’s the buzz of Saturday Night Fever that Void Of Vision are bringing with their new track Angel of Darkness. Industrial, catchy, dramatic – the song is a sexy three minute slice of excitement that shows the Aussie group are only just starting to spread their wings, with synth-drenched metalcore chugs and a chorus designed for a packed live setting. A classic dance drum rhythm carries the song to victory, the heavy guitars and synth layers meeting in the middle for a heavy samba, while vocalist Jack Bergin’s scratchy screams and soaring cleans finish the track off perfectly. The song is a promise that Void Of Vision are ones to watch – the band perhaps puts it best: “you won’t believe what comes next.” – Jude Bennett

Blood Command – The Plague On Both Your Houses

If you were worried about Blood Command having pivoted away from heavy music after the initial run of singles (despite the fact they were stellar, and that Forever Soldiers of Esther ripped hard), then The Plague On Both Your Houses should assuage any doubts. It’s straight back to the band’s raucous punk roots, delving into Shakespearean metaphor to tell a story of the band’s hatred for fakes and posers and how the green-eyed monster of jealousy  can rear its ugly head and stop at nothing when someone wants to gain social status. There’s industrial riffing, a trumpet solo, and Nikki Brumen with her vocal delivery that screeches or soars, along with a hefty dose of blastbeats. World Domination indeed. – Will Marshall

Tyler Shelton – Sad Times

Tyler Shelton, of the always popular Traitors, seems to have graced everyone with a brand new solo project. Dropping a new single titled ‘Sad Times’, mixed and mastered by Cody Stewart and produced by Luke Fiadino, it is an explosion of heavy music goodness. Seemly full to the brim of many heavier metal tropes, it gives off a progressive djent style in some of the riffs while beatdown and straight up deathcore course through the entire piece. Coming out of their shell a bit, Shelton surprises everyone with a Gojira like sound throughout the majority of the chorus; remaining just as brutal and heavy flowing verse to verse as we all know them for. If the rest of the album is anything like this track, we’re sure it’ll be gracing fans’ end of year lists with ease. – Nathaniel Maure

Grove Street – Ulterior Motives

The third track to be taken from Grove Street’s upcoming LP The Path To Righteousness – released September 29th via UNFD – ‘Ulterior Motives’ is the sound of a hardcore band at their most inspired. Showcasing the band’s hip-hop focused groove and focus on timeless thrash, ‘Ulterior Motives’ sounds akin to a hypothetical collaboration between The Beastie Boys and Exodus at acts’ creative zeniths. There’s no hackneyed gimmicks, falsified and baseless intents of menace nor redundant swaggers: just volatile and incendiary musical chemistry. Quite frankly, this is hardcore in its most fun and fulfilling form. – Dan Hillier

Arimea – Silent Space

Oxford alternative quartet Arimea‘s latest single is a barn-burner; barrelling prog and djent inspired riffs sit along soaring melodic vocals and drums that shift patterns and times effortlessly. The swelling synths paint a vivid soundscape while the vocals are yearning, fragile and exploring darkness both inside and without. Tackling themes of physical and mental abuse, the band navigate these torturous paths with fairytale-esque lyrics and dynamic, moody highs and lows. Vocalist Whitney Cooper explains, “these are some of the most important lyrics I’ve ever written and every time we play the song, a part of me is reunited with the person I once was, struggling and lost.” – Will Marshall

Witness Chamber – By the Finger of God (feat. Jess Nyx)

Fifty-five seconds. That’s all Witness Chamber need to devastate eardrums with their new single By the Finger of God, the second taken from upcoming EP True Delusion. Raging against the opioid crisis in America and the devastation it’s wrought on communities, especially those most in need, it’s a vicious assault on the senses. It also features a guest appearance from Mortality Rate/World of Pleasure‘s Jess Nyx, whose acidic tones further underscore the vitriol in the song. It might be under a minute long, but Witness Chamber really don’t need more than that to make their point, and they do it in a furious manner. – Will Marshall
