This Week on Wax: The Cribs, Dry Cleaning and more...

Welcome to This Week on Wax, where new releases and returning favourites land ready to claim their place on your turntable.

This week brings sharp lyricism, indie attitude, hard rock heft, and cinematic atmosphere, all wrapped up in a seriously tempting stack of records.



The Cribs - Selling a Vibe

The Cribs are back with Selling a Vibe, an album that captures the band’s raw energy and unfiltered honesty. There is grit, melody, and plenty of attitude here, reminding us why they remain one of the UK’s most beloved indie bands. It feels immediate and alive, the sound of a group still driven by instinct and heart. We chatted to the band about this new release - read here. Additionally, if you’d like to grab a signed copy of this, please visit their signing event here

Dry Cleaning - Secret Love


Dry Cleaning returns with Secret Love, continuing to carve out their own unmistakable lane. Spoken word vocals drift over wiry guitars and restless rhythms, creating songs that feel observational, funny, and quietly emotional all at once. It is cool without trying, smart without shouting, and endlessly replayable.

Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne - Gods of Rock' n Roll


When Billy Morrison teamed up with Ozzy Osbourne, the result was a pure rock spectacle. Gods of Rock' n Roll leans into towering riffs and larger-than-life attitude, celebrating the theatrical side of heavy music. It is bold, loud, and unapologetically fun, built for maximum volume.

Hamnet - Original Soundtrack


The Hamnet soundtrack brings a sense of atmosphere and emotional depth, translating the story’s quiet power into sound. Subtle, haunting, and beautifully restrained, it is a record that rewards close listening. Perfect for moments when you want your turntable to set a mood rather than steal the spotlight.

SHOP NOW 



Alter Bridge - Alter Bridge


Alter Bridge makes a powerful statement with their self-titled album, showcasing the band at its most confident and commanding. Packed with muscular riffs, soaring vocals, and a polished sense of drama, it feels like both a celebration of who they are and a bold step forward.

SHOP NOW 

From sharp indie observations to thunderous rock and cinematic calm, this week’s wax has something for every mood. The only question now is which record you drop the needle on first.
