New Music Radar: THE BAND LIGHT, Fortitude Sally, and Sydti

Fresh sounds keep flooding in, and this roundup is no exception.

We’ve sifted through the latest drops, spanning jagged punk energy, head-nod rap, left-field pop and a whole lot of moody in-betweens.

This time around, our radar catches a mix of emerging voices and left-of-centre talents, all pulled from the flood of submissions that hit our inbox over the past few days. Every track brings something different, and every one of them deserves a spin.
