Arizona emo heroes Jimmy Eat World didn’t have a label when they released their 2001 album Bleed American.

Every so often I’m reminded of Denzel Curry’s 2019 cover of “Bulls On Parade,” and I always appreciate when that happens.

Fcukers – “Beatback”
Sooner or later, you will have to form an opinion on Fcukers, the hedonistic and shameless dance-adjacent New York duo whose name has become synonymous with the term “indie sleaze.” Maybe you already have an opinion.

Bad Bunny’s jersey said “Ocasio.” On Twitter, at least some handful of people got performatively upset about that.

Prince’s Old Band New Power Generation Changes Its Name
From 1990 to 2013, Prince’s backing band was the New Power Generation, a sprawling and oft-changing ensemble. NPG rejoined Prince in 2015 for the final studio album of his lifetime, Hit n Run Phase Two, and the band has toured multiple times doing Prince material in the years following his death. But they’ve recently had […]
