If you’re looking for something with a huge sound, look no further than the recent single from Getlin. Although promoted as Americana, ‘Chaos Called Love’ has some serious meat behind its riffs, presenting a chunky electric sound that draws almost as much influence from garage rock as anything roots based.
Welsh duo Celavi (often stylised as C E L A V I) released an excellent album ‘Dolorem’ in 2023. Its eight songs presented some absolutely devastating alternative metal, blending elements of industrial, nu metal and a pinch of groove, creating something brilliantly heavy, yet packed with great hooks. Their 2026 EP ‘Praelia’ is often cut from a similar cloth, but whether you’re already a fan or about to discover this band, it’s a release that sounds absolutely thrilling.
Over the years, Justin Kline has recorded some very enjoyable material. As a solo artist/singer songwriter, his releases have explored classic power pop (with the ill-fated ‘Triangle’ EP providing a highlight of his back catalogue); as a member of Dungeon of Skeletons and Origami Hologram, his work has taken a rockier approach, but he’s one of those cult musicians who can often be relied upon to share something interesting.
On Ken Newman’s previous single ‘Who Are The Bad Guys?’, he lamented the state of the world and the amount of apathy within it. Always a thoughtful songwriter, on his current single ‘Taken’, he takes a reflective look at living in the moment and potentially dealing with loss.
Welcome back to the Real Gone Singles Bar, the place where we explore some of the more interesting tracks that have landed in our inbox over the past few weeks. This time around, you’ll find a ska banger, a track that reworks some very 90s influences into something with a lot of energy and a big heart, an angry anthem from an alternative singer songwriter exploring a new direction, a welcome re-promotion for a great track from an emo infused punk act, and more besides. As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!
