The Stolen Moans - Elbows Don't Have Eyes
Elbows Don’t Have Eyes is a razor-sharp collision of experimental pop, blistering punk, and haunted noise beauty from The Stolen Moans. This debut full-length album rips open themes of feline kings, workplace misogyny, surreal love battles, and anarchist art manifestos, all wrapped in a riot grrrl zine energy, rewired through fuzzy guitar pedal schematics.

Voltstorm - Break the Silence
Melodic power metal with a modern edge, Break the Silence is Voltstorm’s most ambitious and explosive release to date. Packed with soaring vocals, shredding solos, and anthemic hooks, the album blends classic metal influence with fresh, contemporary production. From the thunderous energy of “Destroyer” to the emotional punch of “Wake Me Up,” Voltstorm is delivering stadium-ready metal with purpose and passion. For fans of Judas Priest, Helloween, and Sabaton, Break the Silence demands to be heard loud.
Voltstorm says:
'At Voltstorm, we believe live shows are meant to be unforgettable powerful visuals, commanding presence, and real connection. But it can’t just be costumes and theatre. Bands like Ghost, in our view, are a parody of what metal performance should be. The robes, the masks, the pop hooks disguised as heavy it feels hollow. There’s no grit, no danger, no backbone. It’s style over substance. We respect showmanship, but only when it’s built on solid songwriting, powerful riffs, and emotional truth. Without that, it’s just cosplay.'

Hot Work Permit - Go Sign
Go Sign blends gritty blues rock with groove-laced undertones, fuzz-drenched guitar layers, and a falsetto-laced chorus that takes flight. Imagine the cinematic tension of Neil Young’s Zuma, the wall-of-sound bite of Dinosaur Jr, and a vocal performance that nods to Paul Rodgers — with a surprising twist of Chicago soul.
Lyrically, the song dives into jealousy, obsession, and that moment where you know you're losing control — but can’t look away. “It’s about that mental loop you get stuck in,” says frontman Mark Blackmore. “You know it’s irrational — but it pulls you in.”
Hot Work Permit says: Artists don't have to have good music to be successful, but they do have to have something to say. We have both.
