At the end of July, Oklahoma City band Chat Pile are releasing their first full-length album, God’s Country, which comes after a few years of EPs and splits.

Strange Ranger – “Raver Explanation”
Late last year, Strange Ranger returned with their mixtape No Light In Heaven.

Rat Tally – “Spinning Wheel”
Early last year, Rat Tally — the project led by singer-songwriter Addy Harris — released a one-off single, “Shrug,” to announce her signing to 6131 Records.

Today, the band is sharing an early version of the album’s “Kamera” that’ll appear on the set.

The R&B singer Zacari has been a longtime staple of TDE Records, and he’s just released a new collaboration with another TDE standby.

Rashad’s appearance on Zacari’s new single “Bliss” […]

Santa Cruz hardcore destroyers Gulch had a run of a couple of years when they were probably the most exciting band in the genre, and now they’re quitting while they’re ahead. Right now, Gulch are in the midst of playing their final run of shows, which will include a stop at LA’s Sound & Fury […]
The Mars Volta – “Blacklight Shine”
Last year, the long-dormant Mars Volta seemed to be up to something. Socials teased something new, which turned out to be the career-spanning boxset La Realidad De Los Sueños. That was a limited release, but we also got a stream of unreleased material from their 2003 debut De-Loused In The Comatorium. After all that, things […]
