Band To Watch: Knifeplay
From the first moment Americans started to get even the slightest governmental relief during the pandemic, right-wing psychopaths warned us about people like TJ Strohmer.

Frankie Cosmos – “F.O.O.F.”
Frankie Cosmos have a new album, Inner World Peace, out next month. The Greta Kline-led band has shared two singles from it so far, “One Year Stand” and “Aftershook,” and today they’re back with a third, “F.O.O.F.,” a gliding, likable one that contains a self-referential line about “listening to 2019 Frankie.” “For me, ‘F.O.O.F’ is […]
Pusha T Ethers The McRib
Earlier this year Arby’s wisely hired disgruntled former McDonald’s pitchman Pusha T, a master of the diss track, to verbally dress down the Filet-O-Fish.

Christine And The Queens Presents Redcar – “rien dire”
“Christine And The Queens” was always a slightly confusing band name, since Christine is one person. But now Christine, who prefers he/him pronouns, is working under the name Redcar, which appears to be a new alias or persona. Redcar has a new album called Redcar les adorables étoiles coming out this fall. He’s already shared […]
