The ultimate new music countdown – every Friday on Apple Music!
Every Friday, you get bombarded with new music. To make it easier to get on board with the most killer stuff, we’ve digested it all, and curated the ultimate weekly chart.
Follow us on Apple Music, and you’ll never miss the hottest new tunes. Check out this week’s Top 20…
1. Northlane – CUT_it
Northlane sound like absolute dynamos with this inky, technical slab of metal that dropped to celebrate the announcement of their new album Anemoia. It evokes the claustrophobia and weariness of burnout, capturing “the feeling of grinding through things when you're completely spent, mentally and physically."
2. The Linda Lindas – Blood On Our Hands
The Linda Lindas know they’re growing up in a dark world, and they’re boiling over with rage about it. Nonetheless, amid some of the most confrontational lyrics they’ve put to paper, they say they want to emphasise “doing what you can, not just on national boycott days and marches, but thinking every day about where your money goes and what you put your money towards, and we have to do our best to support each other."
3. Weezer – C.E.O.
The prospect of becoming nostalgia cash cows evidently has Rivers Cuomo rolling his eyes, if Weezer’s new jam CEO is anything to go by. Poking tongue firmly in cheek, he’s venting about the competing demands of writing new music to keep the hamster wheel moving while fans clamour for them to play the hits over and over again. Fittingly, their new album's shiny gold artwork is set to dazzle everyone walking past it on the shelves in a couple of weeks.
