Ahsoka return with blistering new single ‘Pretty Machine’ after year-long hiatus

Brighton alt-rock trio Ahsoka are back with a vengeance. After a year away from the spotlight, the band reemerge with ‘Pretty Machine’, a ferocious new single that tears into toxic beauty standards with raw intensity and purpose.

Driven by thunderous guitars and searing vocals, ‘Pretty Machine’ showcases a renewed energy from the band, who’ve been shaping their voice in the Brighton scene since 2018. Vocalist Rhiannon John doesn’t mince words: “The media doesn’t actually care about what we look like, it just needs us to care… That’s the violence of it — it kills women.”

The track confronts the illusion of empowerment sold through consumerism, delivering its message with unflinching clarity and a sound that demands attention. With nearly eight years of creative collaboration under their belt, Ahsoka’s return in 2025 is unapologetic, uncompromising, and essential.
