Later this week, Jordana is releasing a new EP, I’m Doing Well, Thanks For Asking, the follow-up to last year’s full-length Face The Wall. We’ve heard “Is It Worth It Now” and “SYT” from it already, and today Jordana is sharing one more single before the whole EP’s out, the laidback “You’re In The Way,” […]
Madi Diaz, S.G. Goodman, & Joy Oladokun – “Be Careful” (Patty Griffin Cover)
Madi Diaz, S.G. Goodman, and Joy Oladokun have shared a cover of Patty Griffin’s “Be Careful” to raise money for the Abortion Within Reach Coalition and to raise awareness ahead of tomorrow’s midterm elections. Earlier this year, Diaz and Goodman performed this cover with Courtney Marie Andrews at Newport Folk Festival — Andrews contributes backing […]
Envision – “Sacred Heart,” “Advent,” & “Holding Tomorrow” (Kingpin Cover)
Straightedge hardcore marauders Envision play chugging, riff-addled crossover thrash with intensity and conviction. They’ve got a new single out today featuring two new originals — “Sacred Heart” and “Advent” — plus an unlabelled cover of “Holding Tomorrow,” a 1991 single from Boston’s Kingpin. The three songs are dense and metallic as hell, without an inch […]
Stream Fleshwater’s Gorgeously Heavy Debut Album We’re Not Here To Be Loved
In 2020, two members of Vein.fm, singer Anthony DiDio and drummer Matt Wood, got together to start a new band that sounded nothing like Vein. On their excellent demo, the side project Fleshwater leaned into heavy and melodic stuff, coming up with their own take on the metallic shoegaze that’s been so awesomely dominant lately. […]
Mariah The Scientist – “Bout Mine”
The latest single from rising Atlanta R&B star Mariah The Scientist is here. On “Bout Mine,” Mariah floats over a lurching, shimmering WondaGurl beat marked by sharp staccato digital bass blasts. It’s a song about making things right and sticking to your word, with a video by Cam Busby that both complicates and elaborates upon […]
Hungarian Noise-Punk Band Balta’s Rendszerszintű Agybaszás EP Is Seven Minutes Of Insane Chaos
There are some records that sound great regardless of mood, circumstance, time of day, or what have you. Rendszerszintű Agybaszás is not that. The title translates to Systematic Brainfucking, which feels about right. La Vida Es Un Mus, the label that released this EP, describes the Hungarian punk band Balta as “feral,” and that seems […]
FaltyDL – “One Way Or Another” (Feat. Mykki Blanco)
Drew Lustman, the New England producer known as FaltyDL, has a new album called A Nurse To My Patience out next week. There are lots of guests on it, and so far he’s shared collabs with Julianna Barwick and Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard. Today Lustman is back with one last teaser track, a team-up with […]
Stream Spanish Hardcore Bands Crossed & Vibora’s Sick New Split Pena
The extremely heavy and intense Madrid-based band Crossed released their Morir album in April, and it ripped. Today the hardcore-ish combo is back with Pena, a new split EP in partnership with their fellow Spaniards Vibora. The record’s four tracks toggle between the two bands, as if you’re double-fisting some of the hardest drinks imaginable. […]
Gladie – “Born Yesterday”
We’ve been fans of Gladie, the Philly indie rock band led by ex-Cayetana member Augusta Koch, since the beginning. But the advance tracks from their upcoming sophomore album Don’t Know What You’re In Until You’re Out have been on another level. The ultra-catchy and energetic lead single “Nothing” was among our favorite songs of the […]
Hear Three Mesmerizing New Nightshift Songs From Their Forthcoming “Odds & Sods” Release
I was intrigued by Zoë, the 2021 album from the Glasgow-based experimental psych and post-punk band Nightshift. I continue to be intrigued by the three songs they’ve released today. “Hologram,” “Made Of The Earth,” and “Souvenir” are all part of Made Of The Earth, a new album Nightshift are releasing on cassette later this month.
