This includes the second 20 singles we reviewed in 2024 in a maniacal eclectic playlist for your listening pleasure! With 70 minutes of music, click here and lose yourself in the music!

“Ride Or Die” – Then Comes Silence March 5, 2024

Swedish post-punkers Then Comes Silence have released a rather magnificent new single “Ride Or Die”. I love the contrast in the song, it is kind of exuberant happy goth! If a car was built in a Sisters Of Mercy style with an engine constructed from parts taken from industrial period Depeche Mode and if it also had Trent Reznor at the wheel it might sound like “Ride Or Die”. The hooks and riffs are close to perfect, this is a great single and makes me very excited for their album ‘Trickery’ due out April 5th on Metropolis Records. Wayne Hussey had this to say about the band “Then Comes Silence are everything a band should be – good tunes, good playing and singing, and good looking. Their songs are earworms, once heard difficult to forget, as catchy as gonorrhea but far better for your health“. Absolutely no point in arguing with Wayne on that, he is 100% spot-on, particularly on the health point!
