Month In Review: August 2025

Hot new tracks from August!

August didn’t just deliver—it crashed the party. ONErpm closed out summer with a bang, and your playlist should be feeling it.

Sir Chloe came swinging with Swallow the Knife—a gritty, emotionally charged alt-rock album that’s as sharp as its title. Jack’s Mannequin gave us Everything in Transit: Strings Attached, breathing new life into a classic with cinematic strings and all the feels. And Cochise? He’s still on another planet—dropping genre-bending chaos that somehow works in the wildest way.

This month had range, heat, and serious replay value. If you missed any of it, now’s the time to fix that. August came through—loud, weird, and unforgettable. Just how we like it.

 

Highlights

 

Sir Chloe - Swallow the Knife

Sir Chloe

Sir Chloe just unsheathed Swallow the Knife—11 razor-edged cuts of alt-rock released August 22 and already slicing through our brains in the best way. Pre-game with the snarling lead single “The Hole,” then let the newly dropped “Eyes” smooth things over before it all burns again. Next up: a 36-date North American headline tour kicking off Oct 7 in Albany and rolling through NYC (Webster Hall), Boston, Chicago, LA, and more.

 

 

 

 

Jack’s Mannequin - Everything in Transit: Strings Attached

Jack’s Mannequin

Jack’s Mannequin just gift-wrapped a nostalgia bomb: Everything In Transit: Strings Attached—five reimagined, string-laced cuts from their 2005 debut, out August 22 to mark the album’s 20th birthday. It’s piano, vocals, and lush arrangements turning “Dark Blue,” “Holiday From Real,” “Bruised,” “I’m Ready,” and “The Mixed Tape” into instant goosebumps.

 

 

 

 

 

Cochise - “DESIGNER”

Cochise

Cochise just dropped “DESIGNER”—a blink-and-you-miss-it jolt of hyperactive swagger that sprints from first bar to fade-out. It’s tight, loud, and built for instant replay. Out now with an official video to match—press play and let your speakers do the flexing. Make sure to check out the music video here and catch him live if he’s rolling through your city…
