It’s safe to say that everyone’s already getting a head start on choosing the song that will be most played this summer. Over the past few months, La+ch and Dustbuster of the band Coleman Hell have become increasingly popular on Soundcloud for their remixes of songs by artists like Katy Perry and Rihanna. But this time around, the duo has made their mark with over 55,000 plays (and counting) in just a few days on their new original single entitled "Hunter."

Not only is this a song that is likely to end up at the club you’re dancing in, but it’s one of those songs that seem like they're meant to mark the iconic moments in life just like in the movies. Whether it's a late night drive blasting music in your car with the windows down, hearing it in the background during a game of beer pong at the cottage, or maybe just using it as an excuse to have a dance party in your apartment while you’re making waffles for breakfast. 

The simplicity of this song is what makes it such a catch...and catchy tune. In fact, it’s the only thing I’ve been singing from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. Every inch of this track is sticky and it’s sticky in a good way. 

With the plays on Soundcloud still escalating by the minute, it looks like the internet has spoken. I can't wait to see what else these guys have in store for us.

Pure Noise (2025)

Chicago’s Action/Adventure have been grinding the pop-punk trenches since 2014. They have always played pop-punk like it still has something to prove because for them, it does. They went viral in 2020 on TikTok with their song “Barricades” by calling out the exact thing no one in the scene wanted to say out loud. The genre is full of white … Read more

In Your Gaze
Time To Kill (2025)

If you didn’t know, hardcore and punk are alive and thriving in Italy. When I come across bands from there, their scene never ceases to amaze me. Italy gave us Raw Power and Negazione in the ’80s, Slander and Strength Approach in the 2010s. Now 217 picks up that lineage with their own mix of fire and reflection by keeping … Read more

Absinthe
Hovercraft Records (2025)

Contrary to what I said on Vh1’s Behind the Music, Tim from Hovercraft is one of my favourite human beings. I suppose in some ways that’s not saying much but Tim plays in one of my favourite bands, I’m a fan of his art and on top of those two things and running a label, his day job is saving … Read more
