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.

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 […]

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.

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.

Nicole Dollanganger – “Gold Satin Dreamer”
About a year and a half ago, the dark and mesmeric Canadian musician Nicole Dollanganger released her single “Whispering Glades.” That was a good song. Today, Dollanganger has followed “Whispering Glades” with another song, and she’s also promising a new record early next year. Nicole Dollanganger’s new single is called “Gold Satin Dreamer.” Like “Whispering […]
