Following the success of their first single of the year, RUSH, rising indie rock band Frank On Tap return with Mary & Me — a bold and emotionally charged new release that marks the beginning of a compelling new chapter for the Tāmaki Makaurau-based group.

Up for an impressive four awards at this year’s Aotearoa Music Awards, singer and songwriter Georgia Lines has released her first single of 2025, ‘Wonderful Life’, alongside a heartwarming video.

Hot off the back of releasing his single Flowers in Hendo in April, award-winning musician and Aotearoa’s neo-soul lover boy MOHI (Ngāpuhi, Te Rarawa, Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa) has this week delivered a second track - Just Kids - and announced a release date for more tracks ahead of his full album later in 2025.

Aotearoa’s multi-platinum, gold-certified artist Israel Starr (Ngati Porou)  returns with a powerful new collaboration — this time alongside rising soulstress Sianne — in a heartfelt new single, “Love Is All We Need”

The band believe their music has stood the test of time and can help bring people some happiness. “The world needs Pash right now” one friend said. A reunited Pash will play support for the Lemonheads May 28 at Double Whammy.

Levi Lights On Project returns with a compelling and timely new single, The People Awake - a raw, soulful call to awareness and unity in a world aching for change. With an intro reminiscent of Arabian Nights in the Old Sahara and an emotive choir section, the track builds into a powerful chant that echoes the collective spirit of a people ready to rise.

Known for his raw storytelling and evocative poetics, the world of I’M GORGEOUS calls the heart into question: mining its infinite layers to confront grief, lust, greed, longing, and ultimately, hope.

A new song from local family band Spellodies - “Night Light” is a high energy, hair metal jam for the whole family. Inspired by 80s bands like Twisted Sister and Motley Crue, the NZOA funded video is a fun tribute to this era of theatrical rock, while also secretly helping kids with the spelling of tricky “igh” words.
