TubeFreeks Debut New Single “Flower” Co-Written with Sevendust’s Clint Lowery
Hard rock band TubeFreeks have released their newest single “Flower,” co-written with Clint Lowery of Sevendust. The song arrives alongside a new music video directed by nationally recognized filmmaker Tom Flynn. “Flower” showcases TubeFreeks’ ability to merge melodic heaviness with the raw intensity of contemporary rock. It carries the hook-laden energy reminiscent of peak post-grunge while feeling immediate and present in its execution. The track is driven by complex drum patterns and heavy rhythm guitar that create tension and motion throughout the verses. At the center, frontman Paul van Valkenburgh delivers a vocal performance that is raw, distinct, and unmistakably his own. His voice cuts through the dense instrumentation while maintaining emotional clarity, allowing listeners to feel both the urgency and the intimacy of the song.

FML Indeed
Not every song can be a banger. Still, it's sad to be reminded that artists can be incredibly inconsistent and unreliable in terms of quality. Most of the bands and solo artists I follow release new music that I love immediately, so I am not used to hearing a new song that only gets worse the more I listen to it from an artist I previously thought I liked.

Playlist: shoegaze to blues
Spacecadetbloom – Playing Cards Going back more than 30 years, My Bloody Valentine were on the bill at the first gig I ever attended (in the glamourous surroundings of Whitley Bay Ice Rink, no less). I’d mostly gone to hear the Mary Chain, but MBV’s wall of dense, swirling sound made a huge, positive impression. Blur, the odd man out on that Rollercoaster tour, also made a huge impression, but sadly not a positive one.

Edmonton, AB singer-songwriter Ellie Heath returns with “Too Old (For This Shit),” a witty, uplifting indie pop anthem that leans into the absurdity of aging without ever feeling like a grown-up. Playful yet pointed, the track captures the familiar feeling of being a kid in adult clothes, paying bills, following rules, and quietly wondering when adulthood is supposed to click into place.
