We are getting rock for the road with fresh new indie rock from ReeToxA, Joel X Eleanor and Jetlag. Listen to their new music and give them a follow:
ReeToxA-Demand Perfection
Welcome to some gnarly imperfect scratchy rock with no strings attached. ReeToxA are an Australian band that have found their way through fantasy, storytelling and power-driven rock that inspires more than anything else. Their latest song "Demand Perfection" has all the guts and gore you would expect from a rock track while writing lyrics that you would want to memorise in karaoke. Did I just say karaoke? I think I did because the band provides you one. With minimal agitations and sharp lyricism, the band gives us a swinging song that you want to return to. When the chorus comes, you get a main course worth of distorted chord progressions that feel like a caffeine kick delivered through your headphones. Demand it, but don’t feel entitled:
Joel X Eleanor- Did I
You know your song taste is great when you obsess over an artist's bio. Joel X Eleanor don't just experiment in music but make the kind that they'd want to listen to. They have loved music for decades and started making it in 2025. Curious lyricism, unorthodox chord progressions, and a cocktail of unlikely inspirations, with their keen observation, might have led to the kind of songs they write. Did I overcomplicate that last line for you? You shouldn't be reading this anyway. The music holds an incredible groove; it’s a band’s worth of effort being heard from 2 people who know that they must never take themselves seriously. Strip back percussion and the right amount of tone and distortion on the guitar allows you to enjoy this song as a well-deserved break you need to take in the middle of your day or maybe even your week. For you:
Jetlag-Wicked Tongue
Wag your tongue; don't hold it. Jetlag are a London-based collective that make catchy music, and there's not much more you need to know about them just yet. This is their second single after "Prozac Nation" and it promises to bend the same amount of genres and minds that their first song did. They are not just playing up to expectations but playing the right kind of chords to get more of the attention they deserve so much. We get something of a hard rock groove almost immediately after their acoustic opening. They adore prog rock for sure. Maybe even worship Genesis, but know how to put their very own goofy spin on it. I have not heard a perfect balance of vocal brilliance and instrumental excellence, secretly parcelled off in one song. We are truly gifted this blessed Wednesday:
