Summer's Over

This week’s Side Effects reflects the season’s change — as the light softens and summer transitions into shadows, the soundtrack shifts to reflective tones and energetic new anthems.

We’re showcasing some of today’s freshest releases:

Coach Party with “Control” & “Do It For Love” (from their brand-new album “Killjoy” out on 26th September),
Kingfishr and their stirring single “Shadow,” from the album “Halcyon,”
Oliver Beard & Betty with “Let’s Not Talk About It,”
The Utopiates upcoming single “Let’s Make This Happen” out on 3rd October,
• and Bridge Dog’s latest “Counterweight.”

These sit alongside indie classics and Britpop rarities — Richard Ashcroft, Rialto, Menswear, Marion, New Order, and The Waterboys — weaving a narrative that combines nostalgia and discovery.

Expect melancholy melodies, sharp guitars, and an undercurrent of defiance — a playlist that recognises the end of summer but refuses to let the fire go out.

As promised, we’re Making Mondays Happy Again!
