Following the story of a troubled soul through depression; this track has a melancholier undertone, which is certainly juxtaposed by the bands’ forceful performance. The overarching theme of men's mental health and suicide is perfectly encapsulated in this release, as the band highlights an underrepresented issue in such an important and unavoidable way. Beginning with tender guitar picking, soft vocals, then...]]></description><link>https://www.squeezemag.co.uk/post/single-review-fortune-by-slate-label</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c6ca24dd6da1f8275e59d6</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2026 18:21:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2cec6d_dd1b04d33d794568afa118a4c45e5618~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Caitlin Barlow </dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[SINGLE REVIEW: Central Arcades ‘Cane’ revels in reigniting Irish heritage]]></title><description><![CDATA[Central Arcade return with new single ‘ Cane ’ following their previous release ‘ Hero .’ Released today as part of their upcoming EP, the Newcastle based band are making waves in the UK alt-rock scene.
