Wildcard (week 39):
Stone – If You Wanna
2022 saw Liverpool band Stone break the 1 million Spotify streams mark for the first time. Their great single Money (Hope Ainât Gone) did the trick. It eventually ended up on the quartetâs first EP Punkadonk. 27 October, theyâll release a follow-up EP, simply titled Punkadonk 2. Itâll serve as a prelude to Stoneâs debut album, which theyâre currently finishing in the United States.
The outfitâs sophomore EP will explore identity, ego, and the impossible standards felt by young people. It features previous singles Left Right Forward and I Gotta Feeling. Also included is their new single If You Wanna, which sounds like an updated version of classic â90s Britpop. No wonder, if you know Stone frontman Fin Power is the son of John Power, of The Laâs and Cast fame.
The band explain: âWith If You Wanna, we wanted to write the type of song you would wanna sing along to with your friends. The song is about finding positivity in this colourful Gen Z experience.â
If You Wanna by Stone is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.

Rews – Lock Your Horns
Rews is the one-woman rock band from Belfast powerhouse Shauna Tohill. The singer and multi-instrumentalist will release her third album Meridians on 13 October. Six of its tracks â about half of the lot â have already been released as singles.
Marking another impressive step in songwriting, brand-new track Lock Your Horns is Rewsâ strongest to date. Progression is also the songâs main theme. It tells the story of enduring disappointment and setbacks, yet summoning an unwavering spirit to keep pushing forward and rise against the odds. It’s a reminder that moving towards your goals and dreams comes with trials. Within these moments of adversity our inner strength shines brightest. The music video, which has a boxing theme, supports this message.
Tohill explains: âLock Your Horns is a reflection of my journey amidst music industry and personal challenges. Despite adversity, the love for music empowered me to pick myself up and persist as an artist, making this song a rallying, musical battle cry of resilience and determination!â
Sonically, Lock Your Horns is a soaring, high-energy rock track with anthemic hooks. It combines raw power with emotional depth. A (rock) radio-friendly tune thatâll appeal to a large audience.
Lock Your Horns by Rews is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. This implies that it will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
