Bribes — Caught in the Corners

Bribes’ sophomore album Caught in the Corners is out Friday the 13th.

Having expand from trio to quartet the group now covers more sonic and songwriting territory, with flashes of synthesiser and allusions of the theatrical nature. It’s a really nice progression from the first record without losing this classic (in a good way) feel to every tune.

Caught in the Corners is the RTRFM Local Feature Release for the week of March 9th, 2026.

Drop in to The Bird on March 13th to celebrate the launch.

Oakabella Mae — Finding A Worm

Oakabella Mae’s third single of ‘26 is ‘Finding A Worm,’ with ‘Jams’ as the chaser. I like the way the arrangement moves us to unexpected places so naturally and the whimsical nature of ‘Jams.’

Oakabella Mae is releasing a song a month through 2026, with proceeds going to various charities. This month is for 20talk: Relatable mental health education fro young adults. Find out more at the website.

‘Finding A Worm’ hits the WAM Fresh Picks playlist the week of March 9th.
