In The Spotlight

King No-One – “Transgressions”

Based in Leeds, this British three-piece alt-pop band was formed in 2013 as a quartet, but now consists of Zach Lount, Joe Martin and Rob Gration. Since their inception they’ve excited audiences with their high-energy performances in venues like the O2 Academy in Sheffield and Islington and The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, as well as the Reading and Leeds Festival and TRNSMT. Inspired by artists such as The Cure, The Smiths and Dr. Dre, they debuted with “Millennium” in 2014.

Singing honest lyrics about not getting along with societal normalities leading to self-acceptance and reconciliation, their new single blends rebellion with vulnerability. Taken from their upcoming album “The Burden Of Empathy”, expected in April 2026, the song is steeped in 90s nostalgia. From the resonant rhythm to the shimmering electric guitars, the vivacious melody lays a vibrant foundation. And with the heartfelt vocals, this vibrant tune is both introspective and anthemic.

In The Spotlight

Casey Conroy – “Long Drive”

Hailing from Orlando, this rising singer/songwriter grew up around music thanks to her Irish musician dad. She was raised on a steady diet of 80s music like Depeche Mode, Phil Collins and Stevie Nicks and, for as long as she can remember, she would sing songs penned by her father in a tiny home studio. By the age of 12 she’d started playing the piano and writing her own songs. Inspired by artists like Coldplay, Kimbra and Frank Ocean, she released her debut single “Watch You Go” in 2018.

Learning to follow her instinct of doing what feels right in an otherwise turbulent world, her new single reclaims trust in herself and a defiance to go against expectations. Take from her upcoming EP “The Mess I’ve Made”, expected in February 2026, the song is a laid-back, sunlit pop melody. With radiant guitars, luminous synths and a sparkling chorus giving the breezy tune an 80s road-trip vibe, it’s her golden, glistening vocals cruising over the warm notes that make this an irresistible gem.
