So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
CLOCKWISE ON FIRE - "WHAT WILL YOU FORGET" (ft. ANTHONY GREEN)
Clockwise On Fire is a new project from Tim Arnold (of Good Old War, Days Away, and Anthony Green's band) and Brian Lynch, and their new single is a creepy, frantic, psych-pop circus that features Anthony on guest vocals. It's off their upcoming self-titled debut album, due October 22 via Big Sniff Records.

SKLAR GREY - "LAST ONE STANDING" (ft. POLO G, MOZZY & EMINEM)
Skylar Grey, Polo G, Mozzy, and Eminem have come together for a new song off the new Marvel movie Venom: Let There Be Carnage. It's as bombastic as you'd expect from a song written for a Marvel movie, but Polo G and Mozzy have been on fire lately, so it's got its moments.

ORCHARDS - "LEAVE US HERE (WE'RE FINE)" & "DRIVE ME HOME"
UK band Orchards will release a new EP, Trust Issues, on November 26 via Big Scary Monsters, and two songs are out now. "Leave Us Here (We're Fine)" is a driving indie pop/rock song that sounds like it could've been a radio rock hit in the '90s, while "Drive Me Home" is a little more alt-pop.

GINA BIRCH (THE RAINCOATS) - "FEMINIST SONG"
The Raincoats' Gina Birch has released her first solo single, "Feminist Song." Moody and atmospheric, the song has real anger and menace as Gina seethes lines like "If you ask me if I'm a feminist, I say 'to hell with powerlessness'" before exploding into a noisy anthemic chorus of "I'm a city girl, I'm a warrior!" The song has been played at Raincoats gigs, and bandmate Ana da Silva contributes monotron to this single, which was mixed by Youth of Killing Joke.
--
BDRMM - "PORT"
UK shoegazers bdrmm released their terrific debut, Bedroom, last year, and are now back with their first new music since. "Port" is a little different than what we've heard previously, adding a decidedly heavy, sinister bottom end via undulating synthesizers that give the things real oomph.
