Maruja have won over the music nerds of the world over the last couple of years with their non album projects, especially with their 2023 EP Knocknarea, and now we finally have their full debut album Pain To Power.
The first single from this album ‘Break The Tension’ came out almost a year ago, and it’s an interesting introduction to the sound of this album. The skittering drums and dramatic bass sound are exciting and the pace of the song gets you swept up in it fast but ... read more

Sabrina Carpenter's explosion in popularity last year was bound to happen at some point, she makes music so palatable a toddler would eat it, and she clearly has a knack for writing undeniably catchy melodies. Her visuals also played no small role in her success, her videos are really vibrant and shot so professionally they almost look straight out of a movie.
