The Wrap: April 2026 ๐ŸŒฎ

we’re back with our next edition of The Wrap! ๐Ÿ’ฟ

we’ve got reviews covering some of our favourite releases of April, and it’s been yet another fantastic month of music on the scene! you can check out all of our reviews below โฌ‡๏ธ


Indie-pop artist Mara Liddle put out her single “rivers” at the start of April! opening up with a moody guitar rhythm, it sets the scene for a flowing, dreamy track – and the drums and bass provide a lovely foundation for the tune. Mara’s vocal takes centre-stage, commanding the listener’s attention, and the reflective, honest lyrics reflect the moody setting so well, with a vocoder in the backdrop complimenting her vocals expertly. a lovely listen and we can’t wait to hear the full EP!


Liverpool-based indie/shoegaze outfit The Latrielles have just put out their latest single “Go Find Her“! the track right from the get-go utilises luscious synths alongside guitar melodies and patterns so effectively, and the drop into the main riff is quality. it’s got a real blend of influences but they’re able to pave their own sound – the vocals soar effortlessly above the track and the atmosphere of the track is second to none. a quality tune!


Grimsby’s alternative-rock quintet HEALER just dropped their new single “Save You“! we’ve covered their music a bunch in the past and we’re huge fans of their energetic, driving sound – and this track is no different. with a solid groove from the drums and bass, there’s ample space for the guitars to riff around the track, and the vocal commands right from the introduction. with anthemic choruses, huge vocals and quality instrumentation, it’s yet another banger under their belt.


another familiar face for us, Pyncher have put out their new track “One Day“! the tune’s got a real infectious energy, with a proper driving force behind it, paired with anthemic vocals that really ensure the crowd belting it back at them. it’s yet another quality track to their repertoire, and proves their musicianship and songwriting ability expertly. definitely ones to watch for the year!


Manchester-based, Portsmouth-raised alternative songwriter Wyse have just released their single “Steady Like The Sun“! blending a range of genres, to really create something they can call their own, this track feels reminiscent of 80’s rock, yet with a touch of grunge and 90’s alt in there. it’s got raw, and honest lyricism, ensuring that the audience can relate to them, and with gorgeous synths and instrumentation in the track, it’s a fantastic release!


we covered Chloe Charlotte’s previous single and were blown away by their talent, especially their ability to blend a range of influences, and this new single “IMMORTAL” furthers that even more! it’s got a dark guitar riff that resonates around the track, expertly complimented by the driving drum pattern, and sets the tone for the track superbly – with ferocious production that really brings the song to life. an incredible tune!


Halifax-based indie-punks The Light Show have just put out their new EP “Fighting With The Night“! blending 2000’s indie rock with driving punky riffs, powerful vocals and distorted melodies, they’ve got thumping tunes that are full of riffs, power and down-to-earth lyricism. it’s an incredible listen, both feeling anthemic and huge yet with a real gritty ear-to-the-ground sensability to it, a proper authentic sound.


Manchester-based alternative-rockers MALCOM have just dropped their latest single “God Ainโ€™t Gonna Forgive Me“! we’re huge fans of these guys, their sound is so refined, blending gritty blues and rock with anthemic singalong alternative/indie – this tune is a proper indication of this. they’ve got a real raw and honest lyrical sensibility to them, and it’s matched expertly by their musicianship; all culminating in quality tunes that both are relatable and you can sing your heart out to!


it’s been another fantastic month, with so many amazing tracks coming out – plus, so many that we didn’t cover!

Just The Crust 04/05/26: Joe Doonan – ’til we find love ๐ŸŒ 

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single “’til we find love” by Joe Doonan ๐Ÿค

the singer-songwriter has a real wealth of quality tracks already out, defined by his innate ability to convey raw emotion and feeling effortlessly through his music. he’s made a real name for himself, working alongside some of the UK’s finest creatives and performing both a UK and Australia tour over the past few years ๐ŸŽถ

this new single sounds fantastic, opening with an intimate guitar picking pattern that really sets the scene, giving plenty of room for his vocal to take charge; ensuring the listener is hanging onto his every word. he’s able to paint a real picture with his lyrics, proving his songwriting ability – and the drop into the chorus with the full band sounds incredible, it really opens up the track and sets the scene. the lyrics tell a story of second chances, and it’s told expertly, putting across authentic and real passion through his wordcraft. it’s a gorgeous listen! ๐ŸŒ™

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including over at https://open.spotify.com/album/6aDpxWuzCjKwr0GTZnZXRF – well worth checking out ๐ŸŽง
