IndieBird Studio - Not just music, a movement.

If an album is the static screen of an old television, Hot Shock by HotWax is the hammer that smashes right through it. Hailing from Hastings, this trio has delivered one of 2025’s sweatiest, rawest, and most defiant records. The raw fury of The White Stripes, the snarling beauty of Wolf Alice, the unruly spirit of '90s grunge… none of them quoted, all of them absorbed — like smoke pulled deep into the lungs of this record. “Phone Machine” – A Panic Attack Strung on Guitar Wire The first spark of the album, Phone Machine , erupts like inner static in a room with no signal. The vocals don’t just crack — they tear. Drums don’t beat like a pulse, they punch like frustration. This isn’t a message — it’s an explosion left unread. Bouncing Off the Walls – Live, It’s a Blackout When HotWax takes the stage, they don’t play like a band — they hit like a blackout: unpredictable, raw, and bound to break something. Deep guitar tones, muffled distortion, vocals laced with emotion too h...

Some albums, the moment you listen to them, draw you in and never let you go. Thee Black Boltz is exactly that kind of album. Written by Tunde Adebimpe, the iconic vocalist of TV on the Radio, as he steps into his solo career, this album is not just music, but a story of loss and rebirth. The Electronic Embodiment of Loss After the dark days of the pandemic and the loss of his brother, Thee Black Boltz emerged as an album that is not only about loss but also an expression of the strength and resilience that rise from it. Through his music, Adebimpe creates an electronic and rhythmic reflection of grief and loss. By blending many genres from synth-pop to punk-funk, reggae to industrial rock, he transforms grief into a danceable mourning ritual. Music here is not just a form of release, but a process of healing and rebuilding. "Ate the Moon" and "Somebody New": Emotional and Experimental Depth The opening track "Ate the Moon" immediately catches atte...

Straight from the chaotic pulse of New York’s streets, Model/Actriz is back — louder, rawer, and more unapologetically themselves. Blending industrial rock, dance-punk, and echoes of shadowy pop, this band doesn’t just play music — they shake the walls. After their 2023 debut Dogsbody, they’re opening a new chapter: Pirouette . And this album feels like sweat on skin under strobe lights, bodies moving until morning, and the release of everything we’ve kept buried. It’s coming May 2, 2025 — and yeah, even the first single “Cinderella” is enough to knock the wind out of you. “Cinderella” – Not a Fairytale, but a True Story “Cinderella” doesn’t come with glitter and glass slippers. Instead, it opens with a thread of childhood memories from vocalist Cole Haden — raw, personal, and anything but a fantasy. There’s no fairy godmother here, just thick-soled boots stomping through expectations, crushing outdated roles along the way. Beneath, the beat creeps like a secret. On top, Cole’s...
