Pigeon Spins Rock Featuring Whooligans, Boy Grapes, Eoin Shannon, Codemachia, Slow Walk, and More!

Whooligans - Losing Control

"Losing Control" is an electrifying modern alt-rock anthem drenched in the grit of the streets and the weight of memory. Built on raw guitar tones from a self-made ES-325-inspired ‘Bella’ run through a Marshall Bluesbreaker, the track blends the swagger of Oasis with the urgency of Arctic Monkeys and the poetic bite of Dylan. Lyrically, it’s a blue-collar confession — a restless dive into the chaos of love, the fragility of self, and the moments where you give in to the fire just to feel alive.

With its punchy hooks, unfiltered delivery, and cinematic energy, “Losing Control” refuses to sit quietly in the background. It’s the sound of a council estate dreamer kicking at the walls, telling the truth the way it’s actually lived — loud, messy, and unapologetically real."

FFO: Bob Dylan, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, The Strokes

Boy Grapes - When I Close My Eyes

I See When I Close My Eyes is the most ambitious and varied album yet from Washington D.C.-based artist Boy Grapes. Spanning 12 tracks, it blends alternative rock, indie, experimental, and even metal/prog influences into a record that’s as emotionally charged as it is sonically unpredictable.

From the hypnotic acoustic opener “Sand” to the punk adrenaline of “Just Move” and the sprawling, genre-bending closer “Better Time,” each song is a world of its own. Dreams, identity, mental health, and personal battles thread through the lyrics—culminating halfway through with “What I See,” a defiant metal/prog rock statement, and “It Isn’t Me,” a tender acoustic farewell.

The album moves seamlessly between soft vulnerability and explosive catharsis, inviting listeners to experience the highs, lows, and strange in-betweens of Boy Grapes’ inner world. Whether it’s the hypnotic bass-led “Muscular Atrophy,” the industrial punch of “Bobby,” or the gripping narrative of “Better Time,” the project rewards start-to-finish listening.

For fans of artists who push boundaries while staying deeply personal, I See When I Close My Eyes is not just an album—it’s an emotional trip you’ll want to take more than once.
