WHATMORE – eastside w my dogs (Official Music Video)

Watmore is a hip-hop collective formed by classmates from New York’s prestigious arts high school, LaGuardia High School.

Their debut single, released in June 2025, is defined by a truly genre-defying sound that builds on hip-hop while boldly weaving in sensibilities from alternative R&B and indie rock.

Lyrics that capture the bonds among friends and scenes from the Eastern side of New York pair perfectly with production that fuses each member’s individual talents.

The fact that it racked up over 17 million streams even before the official debut speaks volumes about the anticipation surrounding them.

This first release, brimming with the breath of a new era, is one music fans seeking fresh sensibilities should definitely hear.

Wisp – Save me now (Audio)

Wisp, hailing from San Francisco, burst onto the scene with her 2023 TikTok posts.

Her so-called “nu-gaze” sound is a striking fusion of heavy guitar riffs and dreamy vocals.

Released in June 2025, this work is the very evolution of that style.

A cry for salvation from the depths of the heart pierces through a wall of massive guitars, shaking your emotions.

The lyrical world is profound as well, portraying a precarious longing for love balanced on the edge.

She drew attention with her 2024 EP “Pandora,” and this track only heightens anticipation for her debut album slated for July 2025.

With a tour alongside System of a Down on the horizon, her presence continues to grow.

This soundscape of roaring noise and serenity is the kind of track you’ll want to sink into alone at night.

Yvette Young, hailing from San Jose, California, is known for her classical music background and innovative, self-taught guitar playing.

As the face of the instrumental band Covet, she’s also a proven talent who was named one of Rolling Stone’s “250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” in 2023.

The track she released in June 2025 takes a different direction: her trademark technical guitar phrases are dialed back, resulting in a pop-leaning song that spotlights her vocals.

There’s also a somewhat humorous music video, so be sure to check it out.
