Editor Picks
Sound + image · curated weekly

SONIQPIX is our editors weekly three tier curation: one indie gem, one current year standout, and one legacy track from the archives. A mix of discovery, now, and nostalgia, chosen with intent, edge, and a whole lot of taste.

This week's picks by Danny Dorko
02/09/2026
Indie Pick Selected by Danny Dorko
“Heroes”
The Wallflowers · 1998
The idea pulled inward. Their take trades grandeur for grounding, reframing “heroes” as something more human-scale. Less myth, more lived-in reflection. That shift is very indie in spirit.
Current Year Selected by Danny Dorko
“Heroes”
Billie Joe Armstrong · 2026
The modern echo. Stripped of irony, urgency restored. His version feels like a reminder that the word “heroes” still needs reclaiming, especially now. Punk not as volume, but as intent.
Legacy Track Selected by Danny Dorko
“Heroes”
David Bowie · 1977
This is the source. Bowie’s “Heroes” is about defiance in a moment that knows it may not last. It’s romantic, political, fragile, and enormous all at once. The blueprint.
