Aerial Salad - Ideal World

Manchester band Aerial Salad will release their new album, Ideal World, on November 6, 2026 via Venn Records.

The album follows 2024’s R.O.I. and the Roi de l’herbe EP, released in 2025.

The band has shared the first single from Ideal World, “Everybody Needs Somebody,” a song about love, friendship and finding hope during difficult periods. BBC Introducing has already featured the track.

Vocalist and guitarist Jamie Munro says:

Split Dogs - Nice N’ Rough

Bristol punk rock band Split Dogs will release their second album, Nice N’ Rough, on September 25, 2026 via Venn Records.

The band has shared the album’s first single, “Rock ‘N’ Roll Business,” alongside an accompanying video. The 2:40 track takes aim at the music industry, using the conventions of a British gangster film as its central theme.

Singer Harry Martinez explains:

Selfish Things - Receptivity

Selfish Things will release their new studio album, Receptivity, on October 9, 2026 via FLG.

Following the release of “Sunlight” in March, the band has shared a new track, “Effigy,” alongside an official video.

Frontman Alex Biro says “Effigy” was written during a difficult period in his recovery from addiction.

Sowing - Bluff

Bluff is the new full-length from Massachusetts band Sowing, due September 4, 2026 through 51st State Records. The record builds on the compact, high-impact approach of Becoming Hollow and The Distance Surrounding Me, pushing the band’s mix of emo, alternative rock, post-hardcore, shoegaze and melodic hardcore into a heavier full-album statement.

Burning Heads - All Fired Up

French punk band Burning Heads return with All Fired Up, following Torches of Freedom (2022) and Embers of Protest (2024).

The new release continues the band’s established approach, combining sharp guitar riffs, melodic and catchy choruses, power-pop and punk influences, and British-inspired songwriting. The album also features a nod to the older track “SOS” alongside the group’s recurring reggae elements.
