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

For All the Days Gone: Sloen Blends Post-Rock and Metal Into Something Special

The interplay between dreamy passages and carefully deployed distorted guitar creates a compelling contrast, like being gently awakened from a peaceful escape to confront the full weight

Disconections by AV Sunset Album Review

AV Sunset are a 4 piece Instrumental post-rock outfit from Northampton, UK. Their debut album 'Disconnections' was released in December 2023. The soundscaping work is excellent - Radar Invisible is like an atherieal dream, with mind sirens calmly whirring. While tldl is wide and tranquil - cautiously rising toward and energetic horizon. Often kick-starting adrift in an eerie well of melancholy and ponder - we are guided through an orientating mire towards a heavy, hammering resolve (Hasselhof
