Let’s see what she has been up to:
Romantically Dead
A desolate opening of distraught beats and a deadened heart foster a realm of despair for wayward souls to revel in. The discourse remains cold throughout but, AlienBlaze’s vocals melt away the harsh corners with the emotive power of Ellie Roswell.
There are times when it transcends music and feels more like a plea for help, a desperate hostage begging to exist but, there are hints of emo and grunge, Wolf Alice too and yet it feels so utterly vital, new, and fresh.
Not Yours Never Was
The Cure’s shimmering sonic is taken to the destruction of Marilyn Manson as AlienBlaze crossover to the other side in Stranger Things.
She has the beguiling nature of Billie Eilish and the menace of Ellie Roswell, but it’s the vastness of the production and the reimagining of what goth can be that steal the show.
Overpass
Overpass are a four-piece hailing from Birmingham. They consist of Max Newbold (vocals/guitar), Elliot Rawlings (guitar), India Armstrong (bass), and Joe Gallagher (drums).

Their latest single ‘3am’ is the debut release on This Feeling Records, a deal that seems destined to catapult them to the big time.
Let’s check out what they have been up to:

3am
A night out, a chance to fall in love. An indie song discourse as old as time! What can become indie landfill in the blink of an eye is gloriously surpassed by Overpass with hissing guitars, riotous vocals, and a sense of searching that opens up a world of opportunity.
Otherside of Midnight
Remarkably fully formed indie-rock for a fledgling band. The crispness of Night Café and the jagged edges of Lock-in combine to create images of Foals headlining festivals.
Stop The Clock
Sumptuous looping riffs soundtrack this clarion call of living life to the max. No regrets, only dreams! The playfulness of Little Comets is given an expansive rock ‘n’ roll makeover.
Overpass on this form are a force to be reckoned with.
