Space of a Day Set Hollywood’s Playlist on Fire with Funky Rock Banger Burn It Down

Alternative rock band Space of a Day have just dropped an explosive, funky modern rock banger packed with groove and attitude. The track blends big blues drenched vocals full of rock soul with chugging guitars, a dark atmosphere, and undeniable funky rock magic. It gets you bopping while holding onto that cool rock edge. Catchy, warm, powerful, and made to rock loud.

You can hear it on our playlist and also as a special ROCK POWERPLAY at 5 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Burn It Down began with a funky guitar riff inspired by James Brown and David Bowie, paired with a straight funk drum beat. As the song evolved live, it grew into a hard rock anthem with a powerful chorus and soaring female vocals in the spirit of Chaka Khan with Rufus. Influenced by Led Zeppelin and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, it quickly became a live favorite and a standout moment in their shows.

Dark Beauty Meets Power: Veritas Lit Join the A-List Playlist with “Sanctuary of the Lost” and “Ruins”

Brighton, Sussex alternative rock powerhouse Veritas Lit have officially landed on the Discover Music.fm A-List Playlist with two striking new releases — Sanctuary of the Lost and their six-minute-plus rock opus Ruins.” Together, the tracks showcase the band’s distinctive sound: darkly melodic, cinematic, and emotionally charged.

“Sanctuary of the Lost” channels the essence of Evanescence and All About Eve, yet carries its own grit and atmosphere. Opening with slow, haunting sound, the track builds into an epic fusion of ethereal vocals, mammoth epic guitars and powerful cinematic drumming. Its beauty lies in contrast — delicate and angelic one moment, roaring and fierce the next — creating a sound that feels cinematic, soulful, and alive.

“Ruins,” the band’s defining rock opus, runs over six minutes and plays like a dark hymn for the modern age. Orchestral strings and haunting melodies build tension before erupting into a dramatic, Bonnie Tyler-style crescendo. The voice soars with emotion, at times echoing the spiritual power of Turkish star Sertab. It’s poetic, independent, and cinematic — a grand statement that blends rock and symphonic storytelling with fearless creativity. A bold fusion of ethereal vocals, orchestral drama, and rock energy sets Veritas Lit apart.

Both tracks are now featured as a double ROCK SPECIAL Powerplay at 8:30 PM Pacific USA time on the Discover Music.fm A-List Playlist, airing back-to-back daily for the next month. Across both releases, Veritas Lit have already gained over 50K views on TikTok, with fans praising their cinematic sound and visual artistry.

Discover Music.fm readers are the first to preview the official music video for “Ruins.” The video concept, developed closely with the band, grows darker and more intense as the song unfolds — a visual reflection of the lyrics and the emotional journey within. According to the band, “Ruins” was one of their most demanding songs to complete, but the final result captures their artistic vision in full.

Veritas Lit are now preparing for their next chapter, with upcoming releases including The Universe at Our Feet, followed by Until My Dying Breath and Through the Mist” in November. Their forthcoming album, due out in 2026, will include two exclusive unreleased tracks and promises to elevate their reputation as one of the UK’s most cinematic and emotionally charged alternative rock acts.

The Goldy lockS Band’s ‘Textbook’ Rocks Onto the A-List Playlist as Next Month’s Rock Powerplay

The Goldy lockS Band returns with a powerful new single titled Textbook. It opens with a pumping, chugging, anthemic rock energy, driven by catchy and melodic vocals that blend seamlessly with the guitars. The track carries thundering rock power combined with pop sensibility and delivers a strong, meaningful message. With roaring guitars creating a wall of sound, dynamic backing vocals, and an epic production, Textbook stands out as a modern rock anthem.

Playlist

Catch this hot new rocker every day and night on the A-List Rock Playlist + as a special ROCK POWERPLAY at 4:30 PM Pacific USA time daily at for the next month.

In an era of rented hype and filtered fame, The Goldy lockS Band continues to prove that craft beats cash when a vision won’t quit. The band behind the fan-fueled “Only Talent” movement and the culture-jolting “Buy the Record Not the Bod” campaign returns with a new single, “Textbook,” a hook-loaded rocker that calls out narcissism with wit, bite, and a wink. True to form, the group is doubling down on its DIY DNA—building stage sets from scratch, hand-making costumes out of scraps and recycled materials, and inviting a local school to co-create a classroom-set music video that fuses the pep of Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher,” the iconic pop punch of Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time,” and the quirky charm of Napoleon Dynamite.

The Song: A “Textbook” Case of Narcissism—Set to a Big, Satisfying Chorus

Textbook” was sparked by a too-familiar scenario: a friend’s narcissistic husband who can’t stop orbiting his favorite topic—himself. Whether it’s dinners that turn into monologues or moments that somehow always circle back to his “stardom,” the behavior is, well… textbook. The track flips frustration into catharsis—sharp lyricism, crunchy guitars, and a chorus that lands like a mic drop. It’s the soundtrack for anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at the predictable grandstanding of the self-obsessed.

Goldy: “We’ve all met the person who sucks the oxygen out of the room. Textbook is the permission slip to laugh, call it what it is, and move on.”

Rod: I’ve never had a song speak to me so intimately and flow so freely during the writing process. Every piece of the song flowed without hesitation or complications

Johnny: Textbook is a Groove built together during a rehearsal. it’s a fun song with a great melodic movement.

The Ethos: DIY or Die (with Style)

Long before it was trendy, The Goldy lockS Band built its world by hand. But for Goldy, this started decades ago in a place where stars were born: Prince’s Paisley Park. As a teen seamstress, she designed and sewed clothes and stage costumes for Prince himself and a roster of his developmental acts—boy bands, singers, and rising performers.

That early crash course in couture-for-the-stage became the backbone of her creative career. Goldy soon took those skills into another world of spectacle: professional wrestling. She became the go-to creator of bold, theatrical entrance wear for WWE, WCW, and TNA superstars, ensuring wrestlers hit the ramp looking like legends.

Today, those same hands still cut and stitch—but now the needle and thread are for her own family of performers. Goldy designs and sews all the Goldy lockS Band’s costumes from thrifted fabrics and recycled scraps, transforming cast-off materials into couture-level stagewear. Her work sits proudly in the lineage of today’s most visionary pop costumers—think Benson Boone’s sleek looks or Chapel Roan’s daring theatricality—but with an even grittier, handmade edge.

And it’s not just wardrobe.

  • Sets: fabricated from lumber, pallets, paint, and found materials—engineered to tour, transform, and surprise.
  • Props & FX: clever, practical builds (think: rain rigs, custom signage, mash-ups of hardware-store hacks and showbiz tricks).

It’s not just resourcefulness—it’s proof of concept for the band’s thesis: If the talent is real, the work will stand.

Goldy: “DIY isn’t a budget—it’s a belief. When we say ‘Only Talent,’ we mean that the art leads and everything else follows.”

The Campaigns: “Only Talent” and “Buy the Record Not the Bod”

The band’s two flagship messages are simple and disruptive:

  • Only Talent: Celebrate craft over clout, skill over spectacle.
  • Buy the Record Not the Bod: Stop rewarding clicks on bodies and start paying artists for music.

And it’s not just talk:

  • Over 220 magazines, blogs, and outlets have covered the Only Talent movement, making it a bona fide viral story.
  • To hammer home the message, Goldy and drummer Rod Saylor appeared nude—covered only in strategically placed CDs. It was a tongue-in-cheek parody of OnlyFans, designed to shock people into the truth: support physical goods, not just endless streaming.
  • The nudity was never about titillation—it was about confrontation. It spotlights the troubling statistic that 15% of young women ages 15–20 believe OnlyFans is “the future.” Even more alarming, girls as young as 10 in countries like Spain already see it as glamorous and aspirational, instead of pursuing education, work, or a vocation.

The band’s stance is unapologetic: buy the art, don’t sell your body. Support music as a craft, not as clickbait.

Goldy: “If you love what we do, buy the record. That’s the difference between artists surviving and artists thriving.”

New on the Alternative Rock A-List: The Galore – “The One Like You”

Exploding onto our Alternative Rock A-List today is the electrifying debut single “The One Like You” from rising alt-rock force The Galore. Packed with soaring vocals, gritty distortion, chugging guitars, and a pulse-pounding rhythm section, this track crashes through the speakers with a raw intensity that blends power and atmosphere in equal measure.

From its ambient, cinematic intro to its towering, riff-laden climax, “The One Like You” captures the full scope of The Galore’s dynamic sound. Fusing alternative rock with metal, pop, and electronic textures, the band creates a genre-blending experience that feels modern, melodic, and thunderously epic.

Clocking in at just over four minutes, the single builds with cinematic pacing: dreamy vocals emerge around the 10-second mark, wrapped in moody production, before erupting into a storm of distorted guitars and tight percussion at the 49-second point. Influences like Sleep Token and The Cost echo through the arrangement, with textural layers that shift from haunting to heavy and from delicate to explosive.

At 2:22, the track unleashes a monumental guitar breakdown—palm-muted riffs and dissonant tones collide in a seismic moment of high-octane energy. The return of the vocal line brings added depth, floating over a wall of guitars and ambient undertones that elevate the song’s emotional weight.

This is alternative rock with cinematic depth, metal muscle, and melodic edge—what the band calls “power pop” at its most intense. It’s an astonishing debut that already showcases a fully-formed sonic identity and sharp production sensibility.

Tune in now to hear The One Like You on our A-List Playlist every few hours—and as a special DAILY ALTERNATIVE ROCK POWERPLAY at 8:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Genre-Bending Newcomer Diemislade Unleashes “Apocalypse Now”

The explosive new single Apocalypse Now by Diemislade has officially landed on the Rock Playlist, making waves every few hours with its fierce energy and sonic power. In addition, this hard-hitting anthem has been selected as a Daily ROCK POWERPLAY at 7:30 PM Pacific USA time ensuring it will be featured prominently every day for the next month.

Formed on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, in the vibrant city of Rome, Diemislade is a boundary-pushing musical project that refuses to be confined by genre. Created by visionary artist Raffaele Maggioli—also known as Julian Rada—Diemislade is named through an anagram of his latest muse, underscoring the deeply personal and ever-evolving nature of the project.

Diemislade’s sound is a striking fusion of nu-metal’s raw energy, the catchy hooks of pop, punk’s rebellious edge, the introspective grit of grunge, and the exploratory spirit of alternative rock. This genre-blending style reflects the belief that music should mirror the multifaceted dynamism of life itself.

Every track is written and composed by Maggioli, who also oversaw all aspects of production. To enhance the authenticity of the English lyrics, he collaborated with English-speaking amateur freelance vocalists. Drum tracks were recorded by freelance musicians from Italy and Australia, though some songs feature digital drums to preserve their aggressive and high-energy tone.

Lyrically and thematically, Diemislade draws inspiration from the worlds of Japanese anime, video games, and superhero films. With a mission to connect with listeners worldwide, the project aims to inspire and uplift, with the long-term hope of evolving into a full-time creative endeavor.

Feel the Power of “Read My Lips” by MATD & Johanna Koskiniemi on The Hollywood FM Digital Playlist

We are excited to announce that the powerful, rocking and melodic new single ‘Read My Lips’ from MATD Feat ‘Johanna Koskiniemi’ is now on our A-List Playlist. Stay tuned to hear this track night and day on the playlist + it will also be spun as a special ALTERNATIVE ROCK POWERPLAY at 8 PM Pacific for the next month.

This was the first MATD song Marcos Kuusjärvi and Veli Eronen sent to Finland’s Eurovision Song Contest. The song didn’t qualify, and it was never released. The song was completely remade in 2024, and the lyrics were also changed to a “lighter direction”. At the same time, it became more of a rock song.

The original idea of the song was that dictators don’t have a happy ending! The people will eventually revolt and put an end to the dictatorship. Maybe not the ultimate Eurovision material. The song was transformed to tell a new kind of story. In the new version, we approach a relationship. What could a cheating spouse read from your lips? Read My Lips! “As long as the heart beats with the rhythm of love Love needs trust, another one bites the dust.”

Singer Johanna Koskiniemi is a former music class teacher who has also just completed a basic degree in metalwork. She has always loved music and has been involved in some way with music all her life. Johanna has studied piano, saxophone, and trumpet and has also taken singing lessons.

She has also been seen in various singing competitions and theater productions and has studied music and acting all the way abroad. Johanna has been voted FinnRadio.FM’s hit Artist of the Year two years in a row, and the song she recorded, Tee Mulle Taivas, was chosen on the same channel as Hit of the Year 2023.

Nowadays, Johanna has consciously moved in a more pop direction in her production. The wonderful collaboration that started a year ago with the band MATD now continues with an even rockier song. Read My Lips is Johanna’s second English recording. It is a survival story about a difficult relationship and breakup. It is even faintly psychedelic verses lead the listener to a moment when they realize that life is far too short to waste on a bad relationship; stop crying, everything will be alright! In the chorus, the middle finger is shown to the whole world! I survived the cheater gets to bite the dust!
