Weezer: They’re still going through with it! That statement could refer to any number of things related to Weezer’s continuing existence, but in this case, we’re talking about the band’s whole plan to release four new EPs this year. The four SZNZ records are all named after different seasons, and they’re all timed to come […]
New Pagans – “Better People”
The Belfast indie rock Band To Watch New Pagans are back with their first new song of 2022 (though not the first since 2021’s great The Seed, The Vessel, The Roots And All; that’d be last November’s “Find Fault With Me”).

LIES – “Corbeau”
The Illinois cousins Nate and Mike Kinsella have a long, long history in underground music. These days, the Kinsellas are probably best-known for playing in American Football together. But both together and separately, the Kinsellas have also been in a whole mess of other big-deal projects, including Cap’n Jazz, Joan Of Arc, Make Believe, and […]
Wild Pink – “See You Better Now” (Feat. J Mascis)
Next month, Wild Pink are releasing a new album, ILYSM. Both of its singles, the title track and the Julien Baker-featuring “Hold My Hand, made our best songs of the week lists when they came out.

Daniel Bachman – “Flood Stage” & “Inundation (The Blackout)”
In the past year or so, the Virginia guitarist Daniel Bachman has released a full-length, a covers album, and a short story collection that was accompanied by a 45-minute drone track.

They’re about to head out on tour in a couple weeks, and today they’ve returned with the one-off track, “Rambler,” which was inspired by their previous times on the road. “Throughout these travels I kept seeing ghosts looking for someone to sing […]
