Eyal Pik, The Certs and Seven Streets with some MASSIVE new tunes.
3d ago00:33:12Tap to summarizeThis week's episode packs quite the musical journey. From psychedelic storytelling and sharp-witted songwriting to punk-rock energy and stadium-sized ambition, we've got another trio of brilliant emerging artists ready for your ears.As always, Jim Salveson sits down with three exciting new acts to find out more about their story, their inspiration and (of course) their latest tunes. This week;Eyal Pik: London-based, Israeli-born singer-songwriter Eyal Pik creates colourful psych-pop that sits somewhere between Britpop, 60s rock 'n' roll and modern indie storytelling. Blending sharp observations, infectious melodies and more than a little psychedelic charm; Think Bob Dylan wandering into a late-night Camden jam session with The Kinks. Lovely stuff.The Certs: Four lads from Surrey bringing a punchy indie-punk energy that feels refreshingly free of gimmicks. Built around raw live performances, hook-filled songwriting and a healthy respect for classic rock 'n' roll, The Certs have quickly built a reputation for sell-out local shows and fast-rising momentum. Loud, youthful and absolutely no messing about.Seven Streets: Armed with huge riffs, soaring melodies and the sort of anthemic sound that recalls the best of Stereophonics and Cast, Steven Streets are already building a sizeable buzz around Merseyside. Big songs, big ambition and the kind of tunes made for singing back at festival stages.Other useful links...Find and follow Freshly Squeezed on X, Instagram and Tik Tok.Weekly new music Spotify playlist here.'Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast' is written, researched, and hosted by Jim Salveson.

The latest EP is a more confident and self assured version of what has come before.Isaac Neilson: A singer/songwriter making headlines for his attempt to play a gig everyday in 2026... but one who's music should not be ignored.

Embrace, McGrath and Pihka Is My Name x IanGX all with new music!
Jun 100:26:10Tap to summarizeReady for a musical journey! All three of this weeks featured acts have very different musical styles but all have one thing in common, they're bloody awesome.Switch on, lock in, this is some of the good stuff...Embrace: 30 years making music has not dulled the flame for Embrace. ‘Avalanche’ is an album brimming with a confidence that only 3 decades of mastery can bring. It somehow manages to push the bands sound to a fresh new place whilst being quintessentially “Embrace” at the same time.McGrath: Stunning songwriting with a traditional Irish heart its almost impossible to think that 'Rotha', given how accomplished it is, is the debut song from this young talent. It's got us suitably excited about what is to come.Pihka Is My Name x IanGX: Pinka's scandi disco pop layers brilliantly with the rock-inspired vocals of IanGX (Katalina Kicks / Amongst Liars) to create something somewhere between Talking Heads, Marilyn Manson and 30 Seconds To Mars. Ridiculously infectious and a tune to whet the appetite for further collaborations!Other useful links...Find and follow Freshly Squeezed on X, Instagram and Tik Tok.Weekly new music Spotify playlist here.'Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast' is written, researched, and hosted by Jim Salveson.

This week it includes a band backed by a A&R legend, a great act trying something new stateside and ACTUAL INDIE ROCK ROYALTY. Here's what's on the pod...Rev and Makers: The latest offering from Jon McClure is a record that sounds both confident in its songwriting ability and comfortable in its own skin. The Rev is turning up the Northern Soul inspiration for new album ‘Is This How Happiness Feels’ and the result is a stand out LP from the bands 20 years making music.The Gulps: European punk rock with a very UK sound. It’s easy to see why Mr Oasis, Alan McGee has chosen to back The Gulps and signed them to his Label, It’s Creation Baby. Mixing spikey punk vibes with strong melody in a way that is reminiscent of The Buzzcocks, ‘Got Ya’ is a tune you’ll struggle to sit still to!Untold River: Combining the heart of England’s North West with the sounds of the US, Untold River pays tribute to his old and new homes with “Tragedy on Market Street” revealing some clever songwriting and brilliant musicianship.Other useful links...Find and follow Freshly Squeezed on X, Instagram and Tik Tok.Weekly new music Spotify playlist here.'Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast' is written, researched, and hosted by Jim Salveson.

MOSAICS, Asgard Raven and James Holt bring the new tunes!
May 1800:36:41Tap to summarizeJames Holt: The best songwriter you've (probably) never heard of! James is swapping Beatles-esq harmonies for a heavier, Doors-esq, almost psychedelic sound for his new project and 'Sanguine On The Rocks' proves he's equally accomplished in either form.MOSAICS: Leaning into a classic late 00s indie vibe, MOSAICS layer big vocals, bright guitars along with a juxtaposed lyrical dread. "Heaven Knows" is taken from a triumphant debutEP from the London 4 piece.Asgard Raven: Developing his Brit-pop inspired sound into something more complex, mature and maybe even psychedelic, Asgard Raven is back after a brief musical hiatus and music is a better place for it.More of the good stuff...Freshly Squeezed on X, Instagram and Tik Tok - find us and follow us.Get involved in the weekly new music Spotify playlist here to get 10 new tracks straight into your app every Friday PM.'Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast' is written, researched, and hosted by Jim Salveson.
