Kerrang has named Luke Morton as its new Editor, promoted up from Digital Editor. “As a life-long reader, becoming the editor of Kerrang is a real honour and a privilege”, he says. “After eighteen months of hibernation, I can’t wait for the world to reset itself and for Kerrang to play a vital role in championing the raft of new and exciting talent that we can see emerging right now. Things are changing in alternative music and culture, and Kerrang will be at the forefront”.

RELEASES

Måneskin have released new single ‘Mammamia’, their first new material since their album ‘Teatro d’ira Vol 1’ was released earlier this year. And also since they won Eurovision, which is maybe the more significant thing.

The biggest thing to happen to folk music for years, Nathan Evans, has returned with new single ‘Ring Ding (A Scotsman’s Story)’. “I’m so excited to finally share this brand new single with you all. Myself and the team have worked hard on it and I’m delighted to share the video with you too. It was really fun to make and if anything, I hope it helps anyone who is thinking of going on holiday with someone they just met in a bar… to think twice!”

Young T & Bugsey are back with new single ‘Big Bidness’.

Crossfaith have released new single ‘Feel Alive’. Says frontman Kenta Koie: “‘Feel Alive’ was the first song that we wrote since COVID-19 brought our world down into chaos. Everyone was forced to be alone and divided by the virus, thus we decided to make this song as a hope that cast the shadow”.

BXKS has released new single ‘Bones 2 Pick’. She’s also announced that her new mixtape, ‘Hack The Planet’, will be out on 5 Nov.

Baby Queen has shared the video for ‘Narcissist’ from her album ‘The Yearbook’.
