New Song Spotlight: “Lion's Den” - Takeda

"Lion's Den" is the newest single from Norwich-based folk-grunge band Takeda. The song explores vocalist and lyricist Josh Harrison's experience in a doomsday cult and the resentment he felt after escaping. Harrison said of the song, “I’ve never written a song in anger before. But 'Lion’s Den' came to me slowly and bubbling up in me. Untangling it as I wrote it was like opening the tap on some pressurised anger in me. The betrayal and manipulation, the resentment I’d kept bundled and caged up disguised as shame. This song became the release for all of that, and letting it out into the world feels very therapeutic.”

Last week one of our favorite authors, , released her newest book, KISS SLAY REPLAY. It's a super fun slasher novel where the main character is trapped in a deadly time loop while at her best friends' wedding.

To celebrate, we decided to curate a playlist inspired by it: Final Girl at the Wedding. The playlist is a mix of songs directly mentioned in the book as well as tracks from emerging artists that we felt fit the theme. You can listen to it at the link in our bio.

New Song Spotlight: “Red Cardigan” - Junior VP

On July 31st, Glasgow-based indie-rock trio released their newest single, "Red Cardigan." The song is a bittersweet anthem that explores the lingering ache of a first love that never quite faded. Through pop hooks and expansive guitar sounds, Junior VP blend the emotional immediacy of the early 2000s with a modern melodic edge.

Vocalist and lyricist Ross Macintosh said of the song, “I think this is one of the only tracks on our upcoming album that has three verses. We usually try to keep songs short, sweet and going in different directions but I really like the narrative that we managed to put together here. It tells the story of a sort of ‘long-lost first love’ and we hope it resonates, or at the very least that people find themselves humming along to the chorus afterwards. It’s a weird one because the chorus lyrics came whilst I was writing the melody, but I have no idea who Grace is… There’s a lot of playfulness in the instruments and magic moments that can only come from being in the studio.”

Junior VP's debut album, 'Do You Feel the Same?' is due for release in 2027.
