АНТАЙТЛД (UNTITLED in Ukrainian) is a new project by Eugene Tymchyk, a relatively-known Ukrainian musician and frontman of bands such as Septa, The Nietzsche, and Nekura. The band’s music stands out for its intensity, it is uncompromising metalcore, backed by bitterly ironic lyrics that address contemporary issues.
The third single, titled “потужна” (powerful in Ukrainian), truly lives up to its name. The band’s signature meta-ironic humor and postmodern lyrics now directly reflect on the theme of totalitarianism and its impact on society.

Alternative rock band Framing Hanley dropped a new song titled "Mean It (Photographs and Gasoline, Pt. 2)" and announced a new EP "Flowers".
The song is designated as a sequel to the penultimate track on the band's 2010 album "A Promise To Burn". As stated by Kenneth Nixon, the band's vocalist, on Instagram:
"To say I’m proud of this song or where we are as artists right now would be an understatement. We’ve been sitting on this track for almost 2 years. I took a trip down to Houston to track this with the homies @richieisme and @robbyjoyner in 2023 and I knew we had a certified banger. This is the first song from our upcoming EP “Flowers” and it would mean the absolute world to me if you checked it out. It would mean even more to me if you shared it or added to your personal playlists if you dig it."
The tracklist and official release date of the new EP are yet to be announced.
