Prologā divas jaunās grupas ar debijas EP : Austrumsuseksas "postpunk/popgrunge" trio "HotWax" ar EP "A Thousand Times" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/0QjuHNVXrSYPZRPw1BWbMP un Bristoles "postgrunge" trio "Pollyanna Blue" ar EP "Trials &Tribulations" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/7EsIkQREsqEhyywazepb6L
Izdots trešais EP "Duality" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/0YpkjYPstGWDkffW3SL9mQ jau gana pazīstamajam un aktuālajam Edinburgas "powerpop/postgrunge" trio "Swim School". Grupa koncertē UK gana pilnos vidēja izmēra klubos. Agrākie EP izdoto 2021.un 2022.g.
"Postrock" apvienībā "Silver Moth" 2021.g. apvienojušies seši pieredzējuši mūziķi no pazīstamā "Mogwai" , kā arī "Abrasive Trees" , "Burning House" un "Prosthetic Head". Sadarbība rezultējusies 21.aprīlī izdotajā debijas LP "Black Bay" open.spotify.com/album/2btQKqzGVVxI47Gc5qCaGr
Pēc zināma klusuma kopš diviem EP (2015/16) , ar debijas LP "What Still Gets Me" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/4fyZ2d1cRqBYB6YJkWjigm atzīmējies gana labs Eseksas "emo/punk" trio "Shit Present". Grupas līderes Iona Cairns (ex."Great Cynics") trio darbojas no 2015.g.
Kā galveno izvirzu debijas LP no Edinburgas "darkrock/doomgaze" kvarteta "Healthyliving". 7.aprīlī izdoto albumu "Songs of Abundance , Psalms of Grief" open.spotify.com/album/6EyMStysBSgqs0qs9aiFqC Albums ar 9 dziesmām ir jaunais spāņu izcelsmes Amaya López-Carromero ("Maud the Moth") projekts tumšās mūzikas lauciņā. Ar "Maud the Moth" "dark/neoclasical" mūziku esam iepazinušies agrākos gados , bet vēl nav apskatīts viņas 2023.g.albums.Piecas no deviņām dziesmām ir gana lēnas "doomgaze" kompozīcijas.
Glāzgovas "postpunk" kvartets "Current Affairs" izdevis otro LP "Off the Tongue" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/7DpsVXfVOve5ClaNI0Fqvw Pēc debijas LP 2019.g. , 2020.g. grupai mainījās sastāvs.
Pirmoreiz arī pieredzējis Londonas kvartets "The River" kura saknes meklējamas tālajā 1999.g. Bet raidījuma aspektā uz grupu var sākt skatīties no 2018.g. , kad atnāca vokāliste /ģitāriste Jenny Newton un mainījās arī mūzikas žanrs uz melodiskāku "drone/doom/darkfolk". Grupas jaunais LP "A Hollow Full of Hope" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/16sTk2wcChoTGCmbFU8Uy7 ir ar gana lielu "darkfolk" ietekmi.
No Īrijas pirmoreiz `sieviešu` kvintets "Girlfriend." , kurš restartējies pēc pandēmijas un debijas EP ar diviem labiem singliem - "Repent" (2022) open.spotify.com/album/3WTMU1PwBgtSP18ZaNub88 un "Trust" (2023) ,
un otro reizi pēc piecu singlu izdošanas ar debijas EP "All Over the Chip Shop" (2023) open.spotify.com/album/0OYnPYWsiW3NxniXmB0FCL būs Dublinas "indiepop" trio "Still Blue".
