CATBEAR – “Rush”
Hailing from London, this British duo consisting of Zoe Konez and Sarah Smith both grew up in music-loving households. Zoe got to experiment with different instruments, like the drums, but ultimately settled on guitar and Sarah learned to play piano, brass and drums in school. They first formed the band Cat Bear Tree with a punk sound, but evolved to their current electro-pop incarnation. Inspired by Sleater-Kinney, Cyndi Lauper and Garbage, they debuted with “Beast Of The Night” in 2018.
Although written in the winter chill, their new single captures the carefree days of summer, filled with sunlit warmth, bountiful energy and endless excitement. Wrapped in the neon hues of 80s synth-pop, the song wouldn’t look out of place in a coming-of-age movie of the time. With a driving beat, shimmering synths and infectious guitars laying down the retro melody, it’s the ethereal quality of the vocals that join all the elements together to create a sonic adrenaline rush.

From their album “Colour By Numbers” (1983):Emily Burns – “Give And Take”
From her EP “Give And Take” (2024):The Heroic Enthusiasts – “All I Want”
Based in New York, this duo – comprised of James Tabbi and Thomas Ferrara – was born from a shared love of Brit-pop and New Wave. James started learning the piano, but found his passion with a guitar and Thomas started with the guitar aged 6. Since their start they’ve released two EPs, two covers of 80s classics, and two remixes of Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me”. Inspired by artists like Depeche Mode, OMD and Pet Shop Boys, they debuted with their EP “Memory Wheel” in 2016.
Acknowledging the darkness in a world on fire, their new single offers a ray of light and a beacon of hope. Taken from their upcoming album “Illuminate”, the song is deliciously nostalgic with a foothold in the future. With a pulsating rhythm, 80s-infused synth-pop keys and rich guitars weaving a neon-lit new-wave melody, it’s the mesmerizing vocals that guide you over the intoxicating notes that shows off their inherent musicality and fill this tune with powerful, uplifting vibes.
