We take a whistlestop look at new releases from Fightmilk, Déjà Vega and Salt Water Criminals

Fightmilk
London, England
Formed in the beer gardens of South London in 2015, Fightmilk are a four-piece who specialise in turning romantic disasters, existential anxiety and the general absurdity of modern life into gloriously noisy guitar pop.
Fronted by Lily Rae alongside Alex Wisgard, Healey Becks and Nick Kiddle, they’ve spent the past decade producing infectious indie-rock with the melodic instincts of The Breeders and the unrestrained enthusiasm of a particularly chaotic house party.
Three albums, including 2024’s No Souvenirs, have established their reputation for enormous hooks, razor-sharp lyrics and formidable live performances.
Halloween 2026 single ‘Escape! From Camp Run For Your Life’ takes inspiration from childhood horror stories and the considerably more frightening realities of adulthood.
Because sometimes the only sensible response to impending doom is to turn the guitars up.
