Alex Henry Foster (AHF) is a Canadian musician, singer, producer, and composer, best known as the frontman of Juno Awards nominee band Your Favorite Enemies. In November 2018, Foster released a first solo album "Windows in the Sky” (Hopeful Tragedy Records)

With shades of: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Fugazi, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Mars Volta, Radiohead, Swans and Nick Cave - Silent Radio best described the group as "Sonic Youth meets Slint at a party hosted by Mogwai!"

His new single - 'The Power of the Heart' a brilliant adaptation of the Lou Read track first released in 2010 by Peter Gabriel -  released earlier this year on streaming services, is a great place to start for newcomers.

Orchestral waves support elegantly evolving vocals, subtle atmospheric textures and a powerful emotive chorus.   Almost tribal rhythms driving you through the story. The single will be offically available for purchase from September.

Watch out also for 'Son of Hannah' - an eerie build up of sound-scaping and space building leads to an explosive climax with belting vocals and heavy instrumentation.

"The Hunter (By the Seaside Window)" is a stand out track from 'Windows in the Sky' - Leading out with some solid guitar riffs and a variety of lead tones and fluid licks. Passionatley delivered dialogue ride over psychedelic undertones, carrying the journey to a seismic climax.

NOT ONE TO MISS LIVE! The band are famed for their impressively dynamic performances with a variety of instrumentation, infectious energy, emotive soundscapes and tight powerful execution.

Check out official releases from Alex Henry Foster on all main streaming services now!

Album Review - Growth by Wilderness

Wildernesses are a London-based alternative rock band whose debut album, Growth, was released in March 2026 on Floodlit Records. Opening with Sleepless, a haunting and restrained loop that slowly unfolds through warm guitar tones, overlapping harmonies, and carefully layered counter-melodies. There’s a sense of a weight being carried, before we gradually open into something more hopeful and purposeful. We feel that tension between heaviness and release as an emotional thread running throughout
